ACCOUNT TERMS AND CONDITIONS SCHEDULE
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before you agree to use an Account or any related services provided by or through us.
By completing the online application form, or by agreeing to open an Account, you accept these Account Terms and Conditions. If there is anything you do not understand, please contact Customer Support using the contact details in the Referred Customer Terms of Business.
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 Unless expressly defined in these Account Terms and Conditions, defined terms are defined in clause 1 of the Referred Customer Terms of Business.
2. ACCOUNT & CARD LIMITS
2.1 Limits may apply to the maximum balance on your Account at any time, the maximum value of an individual payment Transaction, the maximum Card Transaction value per Card, the maximum aggregate value of all payment Transactions made from your Account or Accounts or Cards in a particular time period e.g. during any one Business Day and the maximum number of payment Transactions made from your Account(s) over a particular timeframe. Your Cards may also have certain Card Transaction types disabled, such as cash withdrawals at an ATM.
2.2 Any limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable). These limits may also change over time based on your Account usage; any such change will be communicated to you. You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Support. You should not make a Transaction which exceeds such limits.
2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases on a train, aeroplane, underground or toll payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.13 to 5.15 inclusive will apply.
2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.13 to 5.15 inclusive will apply.
2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.
3. SCOPE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3.1 Your Account is an e-money account and the electronic money and any Card associated with it is issued to you by us. We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for the issuance of electronic money (FRN 900573). Your rights and obligations relating to the use of this Account are subject to these Terms and Conditions between you and us.
3.2 The types of Transactions enabled for your Account are set out in Delegate Pricing Package Document. The terms of these Terms and Conditions applicable to specific Transactions or payment types (for example, Virtual Cards) apply only to the extent that such Transactions or payment types are enabled for your Account.
3.3 This Agreement is written and available only in English and we undertake to communicate with you in English regarding any aspect of your Account.
3.4 You agree that we may communicate with you by e-mail and telephone for issuing any notices or information about your Account (including monthly statements) and therefore it is important that you ensure you keep your e-mail address and mobile phone number updated via the Online Portal.
3.5 You can request a copy of these Terms and Conditions at any time by contacting Customer Support.
4. OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT
4.1 Following your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, and subject to us verifying your identity your Account will be opened.
5. USING THE ACCOUNT
5.1 Your Account can receive bank transfers and other payment types as added and notified to you by Modulr from time to time. Subject to paragraph 5.3, we will credit your Account when we receive the funds which could be up to three Business Days after the payment being instructed, depending on how the payment was sent.
5.2 Your Account can also receive internal transfers from other Accounts owned or controlled by you, which apply instantly.
5.3 Your Account will not be credited if:
5.3.1 the Account has reached the Account Limit; or
5.3.2 the Account is inactive or blocked or terminated;
5.3.3 the sender has provided incorrect/invalid Account details for your Account; or
5.3.4 we suspect the transfer to be fraudulent.
5.4 If we are unable to credit your Account for any of the reasons in paragraph 5.3 then the funds may be sent back to the sender without a prior notification to you.
5.5 Your Account can make payments out to external bank accounts via Faster Payments and other methods as added and notified to you by Modulr from time to time.
5.6 Where Cards are made available to you, your Account can be used to fund Card Transactions. You can request a Virtual Card or a Physical Card to be issued to you via the Online Portal or Modulr API. The value of the Card Transaction, together with any applicable fees and charges, will be deducted from your Account once we receive the authorisation request from the Merchant.
5.7 If the Card Transaction is made in a currency other than the currency the Card is denominated in, the Virtual Card Transaction will be converted to the currency of the Card by the relevant Card Scheme at a rate set by it on the day we receive details of the Card Transaction. The exchange rate varies throughout the day and is not set by us. You can check the relevant Card Scheme rate as follows.
Mastercard Card Scheme rate at: https://www.mastercard.co.uk/en-gb/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html; VISA Card Scheme rate at: https://www.visa.co.uk/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html.
5.8 Your Account will be configured and operated by us.
5.9 We are authorised to take instructions from you, your Delegate or your Account Manager and, with respect to Physical Card Transactions, from the Cardholder. You are responsible for all actions of the Delegate and/or the Account Manager and any Cardholder in relation to the Account and/or Card(s).
5.10 A Transaction is deemed to be authorised by you:
5.10.1 when you, the Delegate or your Account Manager enters the security information to confirm a Transaction is authorised or when it is instructed via the Modulr API with the relevant security credentials;
5.10.2 when you, the Delegate or your Account Manager submits a request for a creation of a Virtual Card via the Online
Portal or Modulr API, you shall be deemed to have authorised any subsequent Virtual Card Transaction made using such Virtual Card up to the authorisation value specified when creating the request for creation of the Virtual Card;
5.10.3 when you, the Delegate or the Cardholder (i) enter a PIN or provide any other security credentials; (ii) sign a sales voucher; (iii) provide the Physical Card details and/or provide any other details as requested; (iv) wave/swipe the Physical Card over a card reader; or (v) insert the Physical Card into a card device or an ATM;
5.10.4 when you give instructions through a third party (such as the recipient of a Direct Debit Mandate or a Payment Initiation Service Provider).
Once the Transaction is confirmed, we cannot revoke the Transaction save for in those circumstances set out in paragraph 5.11 below.
5.11 You can cancel any Transaction which is agreed to take place on a date later than the date you authorised it, provided that you give us notice to cancel no later than close of business on the Business Day before the Transaction was due to take place.
5.12. Cancelling a Direct Debit Mandate or recurring Card Transactions with us will not cancel the agreement with the organisation you are paying. It is your responsibility to tell the organisation collecting the payment about the changes to your instructions.
5.13 If for any reason whatsoever, a negative balance arises because a Transaction is completed when there are not enough funds on your Account for that Transaction, you shall reimburse the negative balance amount immediately, unless circumstances described in sections 5.14 and 5.15 apply. You agree that once we make this negative balance known to you, we will charge you the amount of negative balance and you must repay it immediately. We may charge the amount of the negative balance against any funds on your Account, including any subsequently loaded funds. Until we are reimbursed this negative balance amount, we may arrange for your Account, including Card(s) to be suspended. We may also report the negative balance to credit reference agencies.
5.14 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of a Merchant where the Card Transaction occurred, we will seek to recover the negative balance amount from the Merchant.
5.15 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of the recipient of the payment or us, we will seek to recover the negative balance amount from the person who made the error.
5.16 The Available Balance on your Account will not earn any interest.
5.17 You can check the balance and Transaction history of your Account at any time via the Online Portal or API.
5.18 You will be provided with a monthly statement using the details we have associated with your Account.
6. THIRD PARTY ACCESS
6.1 You can instruct a TPP to access information on your Account or initiate certain Transactions from your Account provided such TPP has identified itself to us and it has acted in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements. We will treat any instruction from an TPP as if it was from you, your Delegate or an Account Manager.
6.2 We may deny a TPP access to your Account if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access by that TPP setting out the reason for such denial. Before doing so, we will tell you that we intend to deny access and give our reasons for doing so, unless it is not reasonably practicable, in which case we will immediately inform you afterwards. In either case, we will tell you in the manner in which we consider most appropriate in the circumstances. We will not tell you if doing so would compromise our security measures or would otherwise be unlawful.
6.3 If you have provided consent to a TPP to access the data in your Account to enable them to provide account information services to you or initiate Transactions on your behalf, you consent to us sharing your information with the TPP as is reasonably required for them to provide their services to you. You must let us know if you withdraw this permission and we recommend you let the TPP know. On notification from you, we will not provide such TPP access to your Account or the data in it.
7. CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT
7.1 Your Account will remain in place for the term of the Agreement. If you wish to close your Account you must contact Customer Support.
7.2 Your instruction to Customer Support to close your Account does not automatically terminate the Agreement or your obligations under it. The Agreement may only be terminated by you in accordance with clause 9 (Term and Termination) of the Referred Customer Terms of Business.
7.3 On termination of the Agreement for any reason, these Terms and Conditions will automatically terminate and your Account will be closed and any Cards issued to you will be cancelled.
7.4 Any Available Balance remaining on the Account after Account closure will be transferred to your nominated bank account via Faster Payments. If for any reason this is not possible, such Available Balance will remain yours for a period of six years from the date of Account closure. Within this period, you may at any time request a refund by contacting Customer Support. You will not have any access to your Account nor will we return any funds remaining on the Account after six years from the date of Account closure.

8.4.1 allow another person to use security information related to the Account and/or Cards;
8.4.2 write down password(s) or any security information unless this is done in a way that would make it impossible for anyone else to recognise any of that information, or
8.4.3 disclose passwords or any security information, or otherwise make them available to any other person, whether verbally or by entering them in a way that allows them to be observed by others.
8.5 You must take all reasonable steps to keep your Account, Cards and password(s) and any other security-related details safe at all times. If you visit a website or receive a message that asks for your password, other than the Modulr website, this should be reported to us.

8.7 You will be liable for all Transactions that we make on your behalf including those made by a TPP authorised by you to initiate a Transaction or those made by a Cardholder.
8.8 You will be liable for all unauthorised Transactions that arise from the use of lost or stolen Physical Card, Account or Card security information such as but not limited to the Online Portal log in details and API security details, Card number and CVV if you, your Delegate, the Account Manager or the Cardholder fail to keep the security features of the Account and/or Card safe.

9.1 If you (or your Delegate, an Account Manager or Cardholder) have a reason to believe that (i) a Transaction on your Account was unauthorised or was made incorrectly, (ii) a Physical Card is lost or stolen; or (iii) someone else (other than TPP) know the security credentials or otherwise has unauthorised access to your Account and/or Card, you must inform us immediately by contacting Customer Support. After you notify us, we will replace a lost, stolen or misappropriate Physical Card and/or security credentials, as appropriate.
9.2 We will investigate your claim for a refund of unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transactions, provided at all times that you have notified us without undue delay of becoming aware of such incorrectly executed or unauthorised Transaction and in any case, within the timeframes required by the Card Scheme rules if the incorrect Transaction relates to a Card Transaction and for all other Transactions within 13 months of the date of the relevant Transaction. We will not be liable for any unauthorised or incorrectly executed Transactions notified to us after this period.
9.3 If you dispute a Transaction:
9.3.1 subject to 9.3.2 and 9.3.3 we will immediately refund the amount to your Account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised Transaction had not taken place. We will have no further liability to you. If we subsequently discover that you were not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the Transaction.
9.3.2 if there are reasonable grounds for thinking that you may not be entitled to a refund (based on the evidence available to us at the time you report the unauthorised Transaction), we may investigate before giving you a refund and we will provide you with our supporting evidence if we believe you are not entitled to the refund.
9.3.3 if the Transaction was initiated through a TPP, it is for the TPP to prove that the Transaction was authenticated, accurately recorded and not affected by a technical breakdown or other deficiency linked to the TPP’s payment initiation service; and
9.3.4 if we make an error on a Transaction made to someone else through the Direct Debit scheme, we will refund you in accordance with the Direct Debit Guarantee.
9.4 If an incorrect Transaction is paid into your Account that should not have, we will, where possible, immediately send the funds back to the account or bank acting for the person from whose account the Transaction was made. In such circumstance you agree to return the funds to us and provide such assistance that we require in recovering the amount from you. If we cannot recover the funds, we are required to provide sufficient details about you and the incorrect payment to the bank or institution that sent the payment to enable them to recover the funds.
9.5 You will be liable for all Transactions made from your Account if you (or Delegate, the Account Manager or the Cardholder) have acted fraudulently or have failed with gross negligence:
9.5.1 to keep the security credentials used to access or use your Account and/or Card safe and secure or otherwise failed to comply with these Terms and Conditions in relation to the safety of your Account and/or Card; or
9.5.2 to notify us in accordance with 9.1 above.
- You may be entitled to a refund where a Transaction from your account which was initiated by payee provided that:
- 6.1.the authorisation did not specify the exact amount;
- the amount of Transaction exceeded the amount you could reasonably have expected (taking into your previous spending pattern and other relevant circumstances). We may ask you to provide such information as is reasonably necessary for us to determine if this is correct; and
- 6.3.you asked for a refund within 8 weeks of the date the Transaction was debited to your Account.
In such circumstances we will refund you within 10 Business Days of receiving your claim for a refund or, where applicable, within 10 Business Days of receiving any further information we requested – or we will provide you with reasons for refusing the refund.
9.7 If you want a refund for a Transaction made using the Direct Debit scheme, the Direct Debit Guarantee will apply instead of the terms in 9.6 above.
10. VARIATION
10.1 We may change these Terms and Conditions by providing you with at least two months’ prior notice by e-mail (provided you have supplied us with an up-to-date e-mail address).
10.2 If you do not agree with the changes to the Terms and Conditions, you may at any time within the two months’ notice period notify us and these Terms and Conditions will be terminated and your Account closed. If you do not notify us to the contrary during this period then you will be deemed to have accepted the change and it will apply to you when it comes into force.
10.3 If any part of these Terms and Conditions are inconsistent with any legal requirements then we will not rely on that part but treat it as if it did actually reflect the relevant legal requirement. If we need to make operational changes before we can fully comply with the new regulatory requirement, we will make those changes as soon as reasonably practical.
11. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
11.1 We can terminate your Account at any time if we give you two months’ notice and transfer any Available Balance at the time to your nominated bank account without a charge.
11.2 We can suspend or terminate your Account at any time with immediate effect (and until your default has been remedied or the Agreement terminated) without any prior notice to you if:

11.2.4 you Delegate, or the Account Manager have breached these Terms and Conditions.
