3.5 You have the right to withdraw funds from your E-money Account at any time. However, you may be required to provide additional due diligence documents as per our compliance procedures beforehand. There is no minimum withdrawal amount but the funds on your E-money Account must be sufficient to cover any applicable withdrawal fee.


3.6 Electronic money accounts are not bank accounts. In the unlikely event that we become insolvent, you may lose the electronic money held in your E-money Account. However, we strictly adhere to the legal requirements under the E-money Directive and the E-money Law, which are designed to ensure the safety and liquidity of funds deposited in electronic money accounts.


3.7 The electronic money on an E-money Account belongs to the person or the legal entity which is registered as the E-money Account holder. No person other than the E-money Account holder has any rights in relation to the funds held in an E-money Account, except in cases of succession. You may not assign or transfer your E-money Account to a third party or otherwise grant any third party a legal or equitable interest over it.

If you are in doubt whether a website is genuine, you should contact our Helpdesk. It is advisable to change your Security Information regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your E-money Account. We also advise you not to choose Security Information that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about you or Security Information that has a meaning. You must never allow anyone to access your E-money Account or watch you accessing your E-money Account.

We will lift the suspension and/or the restriction as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension and/or restriction have ceased to exist.


9.6 You must take all reasonable care to ensure that your e-mail account(s) are secure and only accessed by you, as your e-mail address may be used to reset passwords or to communicate with you about the security of your E-money Account.

withdraw your funds within a reasonable period of time, during which your E-money Account will be accessible for the purpose of withdrawing the remaining balance only. After the expiry of this period you will not be able to access your E-money Account but you may withdraw any remaining funds by contacting the Helpdesk and requesting that the funds are sent to you in a manner that is reasonably acceptable for us. You may do so at any point in time for a period of one year from the date of closure of your E-money Account, but we suggest that you withdraw your remaining funds as soon as possible as they will not earn any interest while being deposited in your E-money Account.

Otherwise, you may not charge back any funding transaction or allow a chargeback of any funding transaction for reasons for which we are not responsible including (but not limited to) disputes with Merchants for non-delivery of goods or services or insufficient balance on the payment instrument account. We reserve the right to charge you fees and expenses we incur in connection with such chargeback and any action undertaken to challenge the same.

the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you the expenses we reasonably incur in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.

If your E-money Account balance is insufficient, we reserve the right to require repayment from you.


11.6 For the purposes of a funding transaction through a payment instrument, we are a payment recipient and not a payment service provider.

a) Where the loss, theft or misappropriation of the payment instrument was not detectable to you prior to a payment, except where you have acted fraudulently.

b) Where the loss was caused by acts or lack of action of an employee, agent or branch of a payment service provider or of an entity to which its activities were outsourced.

21.1.3 In case the transaction was unauthorised but you have compromised the security of your E-money Account or Payment Card resulting from you acting fraudulently with intent or gross negligence or failing to fulfil one or more of your obligations in accordance

with this Terms and Conditions, which govern the issue and use of the Payment Account, in which case you shall be solely liable for all losses.

26.1 Any complaints about us or the services we provide should be addressed to us in the first instance by contacting our Helpdesk.
