Purpose of the Card

The Card allows Card Users to access available funds that have previously been credited to the Account. The Card is not a credit card and all use is limited to the amount held in the Account and any other limits referred to in this Agreement.
The Card is issued by Us at the Contract Holder’s request and upon acceptance of said request to Program Manager via the Corporate Account Platform. Plastic Cards will be sent directly to You or the Card Users (as directed by You) as per the address specified on the Card order request completed on the Corporate Account Platform.
The Card can be used worldwide wherever You see the Card Scheme symbol displayed online, and also at Automatic Teller Machines (“ATMs”) and at merchants, including shops and restaurants who accept the Card Scheme (subject to local laws and regulations in the country of use), providing there are sufficient funds available in the Account for the Transaction, including any applicable fees (subject to local laws and regulations in the country of use).
The Card remains at all times Our property and must be returned to Us or destroyed upon Our request. Use of the Card is personal to You and the Card Users. You cannot assign Your rights under this Agreement, and the Card User is strictly prohibited from transferring or giving the Card to any third party or from allowing any third party to use the Card. The authorisation for You and/or Card Users to use the Card may be revoked at any time, in accordance with clause 10 below.
The Contract Holder shall be liable for all acts and omissions of Card Users purported to be carried out pursuant to the activities anticipated by this Agreement. The Contract Holder warrants, represents and undertakes that it shall ensure that all Card Users are made aware of the content of this Agreement and understand the obligations regarding the use of the Card.
Use of Card
Activation and General Use of the Card
The Card cannot be used unless it has been activated within the notified time by the Card User. An activation procedure will be provided with each plastic Card. You must know, and ensure that Card Users know, and follow the steps required to activate the plastic Card and the instructions must be followed. You shall only supply the Card to the Card User and You shall be responsible for ensuring that each Card User complies with this Agreement where applicable.
The Card is only for use by the Card User and expires on the date on the front of the Card. The Card cannot be used after it has expired.
The amount relating to each Transaction and any associated fees will be deducted from the balance on the Account.
When using the Card at certain merchants, including hotels, restaurants and petrol stations, the merchant may hold an additional amount to cover tips/gratuities, temporarily reducing the balance available on the Card.
We do not recommend using the Card as: (i) a guarantee of payment, for example as a deposit for hotels, cruise lines or car rental, as merchants such as these may estimate the final bill and this amount will be temporarily unavailable to access or spend or as (ii) an arrangement for periodic billing as any debits as a result of such arrangements will be considered to have been authorised by You.
We do not recommend using a Virtual Card to purchase an item over the internet that subsequently would require the presentation of a physical reference device in order to obtain that item. Examples include certain theatre ticket purchases, hotel stays, car rentals and online purchases picked up in person.
You agree to accept a credit to the Account if a Card User is entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services purchased using the Card.
We are not responsible for ensuring that ATMs and point of sale terminals (“POS”) will accept the plastic Card.
Strictly for plastic Cards, certain POS, particularly those situated in moveable property such as trains and ships, and certain static payment terminal machine such as in car parking lots, and toll ways are not connected in real time to the Card Scheme approval. We accept no responsibility, and shall not be liable for, any inability of Card Users to use their Cards in such POS or machines.
You must comply with all laws and regulations (including any foreign exchange controls) in respect of the Card, in the country of purchase and/or use. Cards cannot be used for any illegal purpose or to purchase or access the following:
Gambling transactions
Dating & Escort services
Quasi-cash transactions
3.1.11 Issuance of a Card to you allows you access to various exclusive services (“Platinum Services”). You can find out more about the Platinum Services available to you on the Website and/or Mobile App.
Available funds
The Card User should check that sufficient funds are available on the Account prior to attempting to make any Card Transaction to avoid disappointment or embarrassment if the Card is declined.
If there are insufficient funds in the Account to pay for a Transaction the Card may be declined or the retailer may allow payment of the balance by some other means.
The Card can only be used if the Account has a positive balance.
Strictly for plastic Cards, payments made on some machines, such as automatic fuel dispensers, generate a pre-authorisation to reserve an amount that may be greater than the payment requested. In this case, the request for pre-authorisation of the greater amount may result in denial of the Transaction and the associated payment. For services offered by these machines Card Users should ensure the Account has adequate funds to meet the amount required by the pre-authorisation.
The Card User may obtain certain information concerning the Card and recent Transactions via the Website, contacting Customer Services by telephone (available twenty-four (24) hours a day).
Temporary blocking of the Card
The Card User and/or Contract Holder may request to have the Card temporarily blocked by contacting Customer Services.
You and/or the Card User may request that the Card be unblocked at any time via the Corporate Platform or the Website (as applicable), using the information and according to the procedures set out in the Schedule.
Applying for a Card to be temporarily blocked shall not satisfy the obligation of the Card User or Contract Holder to inform Program Manager of the suspected or actual loss, theft, misuse or fraudulent use of the Card or of the related data.
If We block or suspend a Card, Program Manager shall notify You and/or the Card User by e-mail, if possible, prior to blocking or suspending the Card, and at the latest, immediately after, unless We reasonably believe that providing such information would constitute a security risk or We are not permitted to provide such information by any applicable law. The Card User and/or Card Holder can at any time request that the block be removed from their Card by contacting Customer Services at the contact details specified in the Schedule, but the discretion to unblock the Card or resume provision of Our services will be at Our discretion.
Card Renewal: Any Card renewal, if applicable, shall be subject to the Schedule.
Refund: Goods or services paid for with the Card cannot be refunded by a retailer unless there was a prior Card Transaction debited from the Account by that retailer of an equal or higher amount than the refund requested. If the Card User and retailer agree a refund, the retailer may process the refund via a POS terminal. Amounts credited to the Account via the Retailer as refunds shall be available no more than 3 (three) days after the time the refund order was received. If an amount is credited to the Card that does not correspond to a refund, We reserve the right to terminate the agreement.
Card Limits and Fees
The Card Fees and Limits provisions are outlined in the Schedule and will apply to the Card.
Withdrawal and/or Transaction limits may apply to the Card as detailed in the Schedule.
When the fees are linked to a Transaction that results from a related service without use of the Card, it will be carried out provided that sufficient funds are available in the Account to cover the cost of the Transaction and the fees, and related fees shall be separately debited from the balance.
Each time the Card User uses the Card, the value of the Transaction plus any applicable fees shall be debited from the Account. If the value of the Transaction plus any applicable fees exceeds the balance of the funds available in the Account the Transaction will be declined, and applicable fees shall be charged to the Account in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule. These fees cannot exceed the amount of the payment order.
Card Security
Card Users must sign the back of the plastic Card as soon as they receive it.
You should treat the Card like cash. If it is lost or stolen, you may lose some or all of your money on your Card, in the same way as if you lost cash.

You shall never be required to provide Your PIN by telephone or on the internet in order to pay for goods or services or carry out a Transaction. If anyone asks You to reveal a PIN, the request should be refused and reported to Customer Services.
The PIN may be disabled if an incorrect PIN is entered three (3) times at all ATMs and/or POS terminals. If the PIN is disabled, please contact Customer Services to reactivate the PIN. There may be a twenty-four (24) hour delay in reactivating Your PIN.

Once you have given such consent to the Transaction, it will be deemed to be authorised.

Once a Transaction has been authorised by you, it cannot be revoked and the time of receipt of a Transaction order is when it is received by our processing partner.
Your ability to use or access the Card may occasionally be interrupted, for example if Program Manager or any third-party service providers need to carry out maintenance on their systems or websites.

If the Card is lost, stolen, misused or is likely to be misused by a third party or You or the Card User suspect that someone else may know the related PIN or Security Details or has carried out an unauthorised Transaction, You must stop using the Card and notify Customer Services directly as soon as possible on becoming aware of such loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of the Card. The Card shall be suspended to avoid further losses upon Your notification to Customer Services in accordance with this clause.
We may also suspend a Card with or without notice if We suspect that the Card, PIN or any other Card-related security details have been, or are likely to be, misused, if any Transactions are deemed to be suspicious and/or are identified as being fraudulent, if We have reason to believe that You have broken an important condition of these Terms or that You have repeatedly broken any term or condition and have failed to remedy it, or if We suspect illegal use of the Card.
You and/or the Card User will be required to confirm details of the loss, theft or misuse to Program Manager in writing.

Purpose of the Card
This Section B does not apply to Microenterprises.
The Card, whether plastic or virtual, is a debit card featuring immediate debit of funds from the Account and systematic authorisation. The Card allows Card Users to access available funds that have previously been credited to the Account. The Card is not a credit card and all use is limited to the amount held in the Account and any other limits referred to in this Agreement.
The Card is issued by Us at the Contract Holder’s request and upon acceptance of said request to Program Manager via the Corporate Account Platform. Plastic Cards will be sent directly to You or the Card Users (as directed by You) as per the address specified on the Card order request completed on the Corporate Account Platform.
The Card can be used worldwide wherever You see the Card Scheme symbol displayed online, and also at Automatic Teller Machines (“ATMs”) and at merchants, including shops and restaurants who accept the Card Scheme (subject to local laws and regulations in the country of use), providing there are sufficient funds available in the Account for the Transaction, including any applicable fees (subject to local laws and regulations in the country of use).
The Card remains at all times Our property and must be returned to Us or destroyed upon Our request. Use of the Card is personal to You and the Card Users. You cannot assign Your rights under this Agreement, and the Card User is strictly prohibited from transferring or giving the Card to any third party or from allowing any third party to use the Card. The authorisation for You and/or Card Users to use the Card may be revoked at any time, in accordance with clause 10 below.
The Contract Holder shall be liable for all acts and omissions of Card Users purported to be carried out pursuant to the activities anticipated by this Agreement. The Contract Holder warrants, represents and undertakes that it shall ensure that all Card Users are made aware of the content of this Agreement and understand the obligations regarding the use of the Card.
Use of Card
Activation and General Use of the Card
The Card cannot be used unless it has been activated within the notified time by the Card User. An activation procedure will be provided with each plastic Card. You must know, and ensure that Card Users know, and follow the steps required to activate the plastic Card and the instructions must be followed. You shall only supply the Card to the Card User and You shall be responsible for ensuring that each Card User complies with this Agreement where applicable.
The Card is only for use by the Card User and expires on the date on the front of the Card. The Card cannot be used after it has expired.
The amount relating to each Transaction and any associated fees will be deducted from the balance on the Account.
When using the Card at certain merchants, including hotels, restaurants and petrol stations, the merchant may hold an additional amount to cover tips/gratuities, temporarily reducing the balance available on the Card.
We do not recommend using the Card as: (i) a guarantee of payment, for example as a deposit for hotels, cruise lines or car rental, as merchants such as these may estimate the final bill and this amount will be temporarily unavailable to access or spend or as (ii) an arrangement for periodic billing as any debits as a result of such arrangements will be considered to have been authorised by You.
We do not recommend using a Virtual Card to purchase an item over the internet that subsequently would require the presentation of a physical reference device in order to obtain that item. Examples include certain theatre ticket purchases, hotel stays, car rentals and online purchases picked up in person.
You agree to accept a credit to the Account if a Card User is entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services purchased using the Card.
We are not responsible for ensuring that ATMs and point of sale terminals (“POS”) will accept the plastic Card.
Strictly for plastic Cards, certain POS, particularly those situated in moveable property such as trains and ships, and certain static payment terminal machine such as in car parking lots, and toll ways are not connected in real time to the Card Scheme approval. We accept no responsibility, and shall not be liable for, any inability of Card Users to use their Cards in such POS or machines.
You must comply with all laws and regulations (including any foreign exchange controls) in respect of the Card, in the country of purchase and/or use. Cards cannot be used for any illegal purpose or to purchase or access the following:
Gambling transactions
Dating & Escort services
Money orders and related quasi-cash transactions
3.1.11 Issuance of a Card to you allows you access to various exclusive services (“Platinum Services”). You can find out more about the Platinum Services available to you on the Website and/or Mobile App.
Available funds
The Card User should check that sufficient funds are available on the Account prior to attempting to make any Card Transaction to avoid disappointment or embarrassment if the Card is declined.
If there are insufficient funds in the Account to pay for a Transaction the Card may be declined or the retailer may allow payment of the balance by some other means.
The Card can only be used if the Account has a positive balance.
Strictly for plastic Cards, payments made on some machines, such as automatic fuel dispensers, generate a pre-authorisation to reserve an amount that may be greater than the payment requested. In this case, the request for pre-authorisation of the greater amount may result in denial of the Transaction and the associated payment. For services offered by these machines Card Users should ensure the Account has adequate funds to meet the amount required by the pre-authorisation.
The Card User may obtain certain information concerning the Card and recent Transactions via the Website, contacting Customer Services by telephone (available twenty-four (24) hours a day).
Temporary blocking of the Card
The Card User and/or Contract Holder may request to have the Card temporarily blocked by contacting Customer Services.
You and/or the Card User may request that the Card be unblocked at any time via the Corporate Platform or the Website (as applicable), using the information and according to the procedures set out in the Schedule.
Applying for a Card to be temporarily blocked shall not satisfy the obligation of the Card User or Contract Holder to inform Program Manager of the suspected or actual loss, theft, misuse or fraudulent use of the Card or of the related data.
If We block or suspend a Card, Program Manager shall notify You and/or the Card User by e-mail, if possible, prior to blocking or suspending the Card, and at the latest, immediately after, unless We reasonably believe that providing such information would constitute a security risk or We are not permitted to provide such information by any applicable law. The Card User and/or Card Holder can at any time request that the block be removed from their Card by contacting Customer Services at the contact details specified in the Schedule, but the discretion to unblock the Card or resume provision of Our services will be at Our discretion.
Card Renewal: Any Card renewal, if applicable, shall be subject to the Schedule.
Refund: Goods or services paid for with the Card cannot be refunded by a retailer unless there was a prior Card Transaction debited from the Account by that retailer of an equal or higher amount than the refund requested. If the Card User and retailer agree a refund, the retailer may process the refund via a POS terminal. Amounts credited to the Account via the Retailer as refunds shall be available no more than 3 (three) days after the time the refund order was received. If an amount is credited to the Card that does not correspond to a refund, We reserve the right to terminate the agreement.
Card Limits and Fees
The Card Fees and Limits provisions are outlined in the Schedule and will apply to the Card.
Withdrawal and/or Transaction limits may apply to the Card as detailed in the Schedule.
When the fees are linked to a Transaction that results from a related service without use of the Card, it will be carried out provided that sufficient funds are available in the Account to cover the cost of the Transaction and the fees, and related fees shall be separately debited from the balance.
Each time the Card User uses the Card, the value of the Transaction plus any applicable fees shall be debited from the Account. If the value of the Transaction plus any applicable fees exceeds the balance of the funds available in the Account the Transaction will be declined, and applicable fees shall be charged to the Account in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule. These fees cannot exceed the amount of the payment order.
Card Security
Card Users must sign the back of the plastic Card as soon as they receive it.
You should treat the Card like cash. If it is lost or stolen, you may lose some or all of your money on your Card, in the same way as if you lost cash.

never allowing anyone else to use the Card or sharing the PIN or Security Details with anyone;
not carrying the PIN with the Card or recording the PIN where it may be accessed by other people;

shredding any personal information or Security Details relating to the Card that could be used by an identity thief; and
reporting thefts of any Security Details relating to the Card to any relevant organisations to warn them of any potential attempts to commit identity fraud in Your name.
You shall never be required to provide Your PIN by telephone or on the internet in order to pay for goods or services or carry out a Transaction. If anyone asks You to reveal a PIN, the request should be refused and reported to Customer Services.
The PIN may be disabled if an incorrect PIN is entered three (3) times at all ATMs and/or POS terminals. If the PIN is disabled, please visit the Website or contact Customer Services to reactivate the PIN. There may be a twenty-four (24) hour delay in reactivating Your PIN.
You undertake, represent and warrant to Us that the Transactions that the Card User will undertake using the Card do not contravene any applicable law and that You and the Card User shall at all times comply with all applicable laws in relation to the performance of Your obligations under this Agreement.
The Card User shall obtain a receipt for every Transaction undertaken with the Card. The Card User must retain their receipts to verify their Transactions.
Card Users shall not under any circumstances send their active Card to Us or any third party, by post or any other unsecure delivery method.
Information sent over the internet may not be completely secure. The internet and the online systems are not controlled or owned by us so We cannot guarantee that they will be secure and function at all times and We accept no liability for unavailability or interruption.
Authorising Transactions
You will need to give your consent to each Transaction by, where applicable, a) using your PIN or other security code personal to you; b) providing the Card details and/or providing any other details personal to you and/or your Card. Once you have given such consent to the Transaction, it will be deemed to be authorised.
If a Transaction order is received after 4pm on a Business Day then it will be deemed to have been received on the next Business day.
Once a Transaction has been authorised by you, it cannot be revoked and the time of receipt of a Transaction order is when it is received by our processing partner.
Your ability to use or access the Card may occasionally be interrupted, for example if Program Manager or any third-party service providers need to carry out maintenance on their systems or websites. Please contact Customer Services should you experience any problems using your Card or Account and these will be resolved as soon as possible.
Loss, theft and misuse of cards
If the Card is lost, stolen, misused or is likely to be misused by a third party or You or the Card User suspect that someone else may know the related PIN or Security Details or has carried out an unauthorised Transaction, You must stop using the Card and notify Customer Services directly as soon as possible on becoming aware of such loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of the Card. The Card shall be suspended to avoid further losses upon Your notification to Customer Services in accordance with this clause.
We may also suspend a Card with or without notice if We suspect that the Card, PIN or any other Card-related security details have been, or are likely to be, misused, if any Transactions are deemed to be suspicious and/or are identified as being fraudulent, if We have reason to believe that You have broken an important condition of these Terms or that You have repeatedly broken any term or condition and have failed to remedy it, or if We suspect illegal use of the Card.
You and/or the Card User will be required to confirm details of the loss, theft or misuse to Program Manager in writing.

There are certain circumstances where a Merchant may require you to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the Transaction you wish to make and you will only be charged for the actual and final value of the Transaction. Merchants may request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend for example, when making hotel or rental car reservations. In the event that a Merchant has prior authorization on your Card, you will not have access to the relevant funds until the Transaction is completed or, if sooner, up to a period of 30 days. We will only block access to the exact amount of funds authorised by you.

You are responsible for protecting your Card as if it were cash in your wallet – if it is lost or stolen, you may lose some or all of the money on your Card unless you contact us as specified in this condition.
You must contact us without delay by calling us on our 24-hour lost and stolen card helpline +44 20 33 18 11 01, if you know or suspect that a Card is lost, stolen, misappropriated or subject to unauthorised use or that the PIN or any of the Security Details is known to an unauthorised person or you think that a Transaction has been incorrectly executed.

Once a loss, theft or unauthorised use of your Card is reported, use of the Card shall be blocked to avoid further losses.

In the event of a non-executed or defectively executed Transaction, we will make immediate efforts to trace the Transaction and will notify you of the outcome. We will not charge you for such efforts. In the event that we are liable for such Transaction, we will refund the amount, together with the amount of any resulting charges to which you may be subject, without undue delay.
In the event that a Transaction that was executed within European Economic Area arrived later than it should have according to the terms of this Cardholder Agreement, you may request that we contact the receiving payment institution to ask them to treat it as if it was made on time.
Payment Disputes
If you dispute a Transaction that you have authorised, and which has been processed on your Card, you should settle this with the person you bought the goods or services from; we are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of goods or services purchased with your Card.
If your dispute with a Merchant relating to a Transaction cannot be resolved you should contact us at Customer Services, and we will attempt to assist you as far as is reasonably practicable.
If you have reason to believe that a Transaction was carried out without your consent or in error, you may ask Program Manager to investigate the Transaction. If an investigation occurs, the disputed amount will be unavailable to spend until our investigation is complete and if we receive information that proves the Transaction was genuine, this will be deducted from your Available Balance and we may charge you an investigation fee, subject to the Fees & Limits Schedule. If you do not have sufficient Available Balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand.
Foreign Exchange
14.1 If you use your Card in a currency other than the currency in which your Card is denominated (“Foreign Currency Transaction”), the amount deducted from your Available Balance will be the amount of the Foreign Currency Transaction converted to your Card currency using a rate set by the Scheme.

In order to allow you to compare charges for currency conversion, you can view the real-time percentage difference between the amount that will be charged on your Card for a Foreign Currency Transaction (consisting of the mark-up applied by the Scheme as well as any other charges) and the latest available euro foreign exchange rates issued by the European Central Bank.
