Subject to any further risk assessment requirements, on opening a new account, Monese Business Account Limits as set out in the Fees and Limits page apply. Please note that it may be necessary for us to set lower Monese Business Account Limits than those set out in the Fees and Limits page. We can also change the Monese Business Account Limits at our discretion at any time to comply with our regulatory obligations and to reduce the risk of financial crime. In the event that we lower Monese Business Account Limits, if we are able to, we will notify you of the revised Monese Business Account Limits applicable to your Monese Business Account.

When applying for a Monese Business Account, you will be provided with a Business Basic account which may be upgraded to a Business Plus Account subject to our approval.

SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT

2.1 The Monese Business Account is an e-money account held in GBP and the e-money held on the Monese Business Account is issued by PPS, and distributed and administered by Monese as an agent for PPS.

2.2 All Monese Business Cards are issued by us pursuant to our licence from Mastercard. Mastercard is a registered trademark, and the circles design is a trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated. Your Monese Business Card remains PPS’s property.

2.3 Your rights and obligations relating to the use of your Monese Business Account and Monese Business Card are as set out in this Agreement; you have no rights against Mastercard or its affiliates under this Agreement. If you experience any difficulties in using your Monese Business Account and/or Monese Business Card you should contact Customer Services.

2.4 This Agreement is written and available in English and any other language in which you are able to use the Monese App. All our communications with you relating to this Agreement, the Monese Business Account and any Monese Business Card will be in English or the language you have selected in the Monese App. In case of any discrepancy or misinterpretation the English version of this Agreement will prevail in all circumstances.

2.5 You acknowledge that we may communicate with you by e-mail and/or SMS and/or via the Monese App when we provide you with any service notifications or other information about your Monese Business Account and therefore it is important that you keep your e-mail address and mobile phone number updated via the Monese App at all times. You may download a copy of this Agreement from our website.

2.6 If you wish to make use of services provided by an Authorised Third Party Provider on your Monese Business Account, you may do so provided that you have signed up to use Monese App and your Monese Business Account is Active. We advise that before using an Authorised Third Party Provider, you ensure that the Authorised Third Party Provider is authorised by a Regulator to provide their services. In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority’s register (available at https://register.fca.org.uk/) and in other EEA countries respective registries maintained by national authorities will tell you whether a company is authorised. You must provide your explicit consent or share your Monese App credentials with an Authorised Third Party Provider each time an access to your Monese Business Account is required for them to provide you with their services. You should always consider the implications of sharing your Monese App credentials and your personal information.

2.7 If an Authorised Third Party Provider requests access to your Monese Business Account to provide you with their services using your Monese App credentials, we will ask you to explicitly confirm and verify this request in the Monese App. When we seek your explicit consent to such access we will make it clear to you the purpose of the Authorised Third Party Provider’s request and service they provide so as to enable you to decide whether to allow the requested access. Please note, once you have approved this request we are obliged to provide access to your Monese Business Account if it is requested by an Authorised Third Party Provider and can only refuse access in certain circumstances.

2.8 If you do not wish to use services provided by an Authorised Third Party Provider on your Monese Business Account, you simply refuse to provide your consent or refuse to share your Monese App credentials with an Authorised Third Party Provider.

APPLYING FOR AND REGISTERING YOUR MONESE BUSINESS ACCOUNT

3.1 To apply for a Monese Business Account, you must be at least 18 years old and must have a Monese Personal Account (Monese Personal Account Terms and Conditions can be seen on https://monese.com/terms as well as in the Monese App under settings).

3.1.2 You must have a Limited Business, which must be an active trading entity (i.e. not dormant, struck-off, dissolved, inactive or a passive holding company).

3.1.4 The Limited Business must not, at any time, be subject to any actions such as in administration, provisional liquidation, in insolvency proceedings or be in the process of being wound up (closed) or removed from the Companies House register.

3.1.5 The applicant must be the sole director and a “Person of Significant Control” of the Limited Business to open the Monese Business Account and must not be subject to any sanctions or disqualification. None of the sole director, officers, representatives or other shareholders of the Limited Business may be subject to any sanctions or disqualification at any time.

3.2 We will register your Monese Business Account for you on the basis of the Information that you have provided to us. You must provide accurate information and tell us of any changes to your Information as soon as possible so that our records remain correct and up to date at all times. You must provide current, complete and accurate Information as requested by us and maintain this Information as current and accurate. In case of any changes to your Information you must tell us as soon as possible so that our records remain correct by contacting business@monese.com.

3.3 If we discover that the Information we hold about you is incorrect, we may have to suspend or close your Monese Business Account until we can establish the correct information, in order to protect us both.

3.4 To use the Monese Business Account, you will need to download the Monese App via your mobile phone.

3.5 A Monese Business Account is for business use only, not for personal use and the applicant attests that they will not use the Monese Business Account for personal, family or household purposes or expenses at any time. If you use your Monese Business Account for any personal purposes we may close your Monese Business Account immediately.

3.6 The Monese Business Account is not available for businesses in the following industries: trading of cryptocurrencies, casinos and other betting or gambling activities, sales of unlicensed pharmaceuticals, trading of weapons, explosives or armaments, bidding fee auctions, unregistered charities and charities that are not incorporated.

3.7 You agree that the reporting and payment of any applicable taxes in the UK and any other country where this arises is your responsibility in relation to the use of a Monese Business Account and any other Monese account. All tax obligations therefore fall under your responsibility and that of any authorised person within your Limited Business. Monese assumes no responsibility with regards to the execution of tax obligations, or calculation and transfer of any taxes relevant and applicable to you and your Limited Business in any of the countries in which you operate.

RECEIVING AND ACTIVATING A CARD

4.1 The Monese Business Card will be posted to the registered office address of the Limited Business.

4.2 When you receive the Monese Business Card, you as the Cardholder must immediately sign it and activate the Monese Business Card via the Monese App. If the Monese Business Card is intercepted before you receive it, you will not be liable for any misuse.

4.3 Once the Monese Business Card has been activated, the Monese App will provide a PIN. The Cardholder undertakes never to reveal the PIN to anybody and to keep the Monese Business Card safe. We will not reveal the PIN to a third party.

4.4 The Cardholder may change the PIN at most ATMs that have PIN change functionality. When selecting or changing the PIN, the Cardholder must not select a PIN that may be easily guessed, such as a number that:

4.4.1 is associated with the Cardholder, such as their telephone number or birth date; or

4.4.2 is part of data imprinted on the Monese Business Card; or

4.4.3 consists of the same digits or a sequence of running digits; or

4.4.4 is identical to a previously selected PIN.

USING THE MONESE BUSINESS CARD

5.1 The Monese Business Card can be used at any Merchant to make purchases in-store, via the internet or over the phone and can be used to obtain cash through ATMs within the UK, EEA and abroad (fees may apply, see Fees and Limits page). Each transaction will need to be authorised by the Cardholder at any Merchant by entering the PIN or other security code personal to the Cardholder; if the Merchant does not accept chip and PIN authorisation, the Merchant may allow the Cardholder to authorise a transaction by signature of the receipt. A transaction can also be authorised by tapping the Monese Business Card against a contactless enabled reader. We may refuse to execute a transaction if the transaction is unlawful or fraudulent. We will treat the transactions as authorised by the Cardholder if:

5.1.1 The Monese Business Card PIN or other security code personal to the Cardholder is used; or

5.1.2 The Monese Business Card is used and the Cardholder has authorised the transaction by signature of the receipt.

5.2 The Monese Business Card is a prepaid debit card, which means that the Available Balance will be reduced by the full amount of each transaction you make, plus any applicable taxes and charges, including additional ATM charges (if any). The Cardholder must not use the Monese Business Card if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance.

5.3 Once you have authorised a particular transaction, you will not be able to withdraw your consent to that transaction.

5.4 The Monese Business Card can be used to make transactions in a currency other than GBP (“foreign currency transaction”). The amount deducted from your Monese Business Account will be converted to GBP on the day of receipt of the transaction request. We will use a wholesale rate set by Mastercard. Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time you authorise a transaction and the time it is deducted from your Available Balance. You can find out the exchange rate applied to a transaction in your transaction history. When you use the Monese Business Card to make a foreign currency transaction (transaction in a currency other than the underlying currency of your Monese Business Card), we will charge an additional foreign currency exchange fee (see Fees and Limits page).

5.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Monese Business Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all of the transactions that are made by the Cardholder. In some circumstances Merchants may require the Cardholder to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the transaction they wish to make. The Cardholder will only be charged for the actual and final value of the transaction they make. Merchants request this as they may need to access more funds than the Cardholder initially planned to spend. This may be the case for:

5.5.1 Hotels, rental cars; and

5.5.2 Internet Merchants – certain internet Merchant sites will, on registration or at checkout stage, send a request for payment authorisation to verify if funds are available. This will temporarily impact the Available Balance. Many Merchants, particularly online Merchants, will not deduct payment from a Monese Business Card until goods are dispatched. You should be aware of any payments that will be deducted in this manner when you are making other purchases to ensure that your Available Balance is enough to cover all purchases. We will not block funds for transactions of unknown amounts as suggested under paragraphs 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 above unless you authorise the exact amount of funds to be blocked. We will release any blocked funds without undue delay after becoming aware of the final amount of the payment transaction, and in any event immediately after receipt of the payment order.

5.6 Where you, or the Cardholder, have agreed that another person can take a payment made from your Monese Business Account (e.g. if the Cardholder has given their Monese Business Card details to a retailer for the purpose of making a payment for renting a car or booking a hotel room), you can ask us to refund a payment if all the following conditions are satisfied:

5.6.1 The authorisation given did not specify the exact amount to be paid;

5.6.2 The amount that has been charged to your Monese Business Account was more than the Cardholder could reasonably have expected to pay, based on the circumstances, including previous spending patterns; and

5.6.3 You make the refund request within eight weeks of the date when the payment was taken from your Monese Business Account.

5.7 We may ask you to provide such information as is reasonably necessary to verify that conditions in paragraphs 5.6.1 – 5.6.3 above are satisfied.

5.8 If you ask us to make a refund under paragraph 5.6 then, within 10 Working Days of the date we receive your request (or if we ask for more information under paragraph 5.7, within 10 Working Days of the date we receive such information) we will either:

5.8.1 Refund the payment in full; or

5.8.2 Tell you the reason why we do not agree to the refund.

5.9 You will not be entitled to a refund under paragraph 5.6 if:

5.9.1 You or the Cardholder have given us your consent for the payment to be made; or

5.9.2 Where applicable, we (or the person or a Merchant you agreed to pay) have given you information on the payment in question at least four weeks before the due date of the payment; or

5.9.3 The payment in question was higher than you reasonably expected to pay due to a change in any currency exchange rate.

5.10 Paragraph 5.9 does not limit your rights under the Direct Debit Guarantee Scheme.

5.11 If a Merchant agrees to give you a refund for a purchase made using the Monese Business Card, the funds will be added to the Available Balance of the Monese Business Account when we receive the funds from the Merchant.

LIMITS ON THE USE OF THE MONESE BUSINESS CARD

5.12 The Monese Business Card cannot be used in in all situations. Where it is not possible to obtain online authorisation that the Cardholder has sufficient Available Balance for the transaction, the Monese Business Card cannot be used. This may be the case for transactions on trains, ships, and some in-flight purchases. You will be responsible if an offline transaction does go through for whatever reason and you must repay us the full amount that exceeds the Available Balance.

5.13 The Monese Business Card can be used to pay at the pump at self-service petrol stations as well as to pay for petrol by taking the Monese Business Card to the cashier. For self-service pay at pump transactions, a Merchant may require pre-authorisation of up to £120. The pre-authorised amount may be held until the transaction clears with the actual transaction amount.

5.14 The Monese Business Card should not be used as a form of identification.

5.15 The Monese Business Card should not be used for any illegal purpose or in any manner prohibited by applicable law.

5.16 The Monese Business Card should not be used for gambling, any adult entertainment or any Quasi Cash Transactions.

5.17 We may ask you to surrender any Monese Business Cards at any time for a valid reason in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraphs 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement.

EXPIRY DATE

5.18 The expiry date of the Monese Business Card is printed on the front of the Monese Business Card. You will not be able to use the Monese Business Card once it expires. If you request a replacement Monese Business Card, we will send you a replacement Monese Business Card (fees may apply, see Fees and Limits page).

5.19 Any Available Balance remaining on the Monese Business Account at expiry of the Monese Business Card will remain yours for a period of six years from the expiry date. Within this period, you may at any time transfer any Available Balance on the Monese Business Account to a UK bank account via Faster Payment in GBP (subject to Monese Business Account Limits). You will not have access to your Monese Business Account and we will not return any funds remaining on the Monese Business Account six years after expiry of the Monese Business Card, when this Agreement will terminate. We may charge you a £5 redemption fee for this service.

5.20 You are responsible for the use of any Monese Business Cards issued to you under this Agreement and any fees or charges that any Monese Business Cards may incur.

UK FASTER PAYMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS TRANSFER OUT

6.6 To make a UK Faster Payment from your Monese Business Account, you must first set up the recipient as a new payee. For setting up a new payee to make UK Faster Payment from your Monese Business Account, you will need to provide name, account number and sort code of the person you wish to pay. You will then undergo some security authorisation steps on the Monese App.

6.7 Once the security authorisation steps have been successfully completed, a payment to that authorised payee can be made via the Monese App. Provided we process the payment transaction in accordance with the Unique Identifier provided by you, we will not be liable for any non-execution or defective execution if the Unique Identifier provided is incorrect.

6.8 It is your responsibility to check there is sufficient Available Balance before sending any payments out of you Monese Business Account. If your Monese Business Account does not have sufficient Available Balance your payment will be rejected.

6.9 If you update your mobile number via the Monese App or Customer Services, you will not able to set up a new payee for making payments for 24 hours.

6.10 If a payment is rejected by the recipient bank, a refund is automatically credited to your Monese Business Account after we receive the funds from the recipient bank.

DIRECT DEBITS

6.11 To set up a Direct Debit from your Monese Business Account, you must first authorise the organisation taking Direct Debit payments from the Monese Business Account.

6.12 If a Direct Debit on the Monese Business Account specifies that a payment is to take place on a specified day or on the last day of a certain period, then we will treat the Payment Instruction as being received on the day specified.

6.13 Any Direct Debit payment is usually taken from the Monese Business Account at the beginning of the Working Day it is due.

6.14 It is your responsibility to check there is sufficient Available Balance before any payment is due. If your Monese Business Account does not have sufficient Available Balance any Direct Debit payment will be rejected.

6.15 In the case of a Direct Debit, you can revoke a payment order at any time until the end of the Working Day preceding the day agreed for debiting the funds. The revocation will be effective for all future direct debits.

INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS

6.16 The Monese Business Account can be used to make outgoing International Payments in currencies other than the underlying currency of your Monese Business Account (i.e. GBP). Please note that this service is not provided or managed by PPS. Monese will transfer the relevant funds and details of your Payment Instruction to a third party currency exchange and payment services provider in order to complete the transaction.

6.17 The amount deducted from your Monese Business Account will be converted to the selected foreign currency on the day we receive your Payment Instruction at the latest exchange rate available to us by the third party currency exchange and payments service provider that will perform the currency exchange and/or transfer the funds. The applicable exchange rate and any additional fees will be displayed in the Monese App before you authorise the transaction.

6.18 You can make International Payments into your Monese Business Account using the Monese International Deposit Account details displayed in the Monese App in GBP or euro currency. Payments received in GBP will be credited to your Monese Business Account in same currency and payments received in euros will be converted to your Monese Business Account in GBP. For the conversion a third party currency exchange and payments service provider will exchange the amount of the funds received into GBP, Monese will arrange for the relevant funds to be credited to PPS and PPS will credit your Monese Business Account.

6.19 You can receive international transfers into your Monese Business Account by subscribing to a dedicated virtual IBAN displayed in the Monese App. This service is provided by a third party and will allow you to receive money in up to 40 currencies from over 150 countries. We will convert the international payment into the currency of your Monese Business Account. For the conversion, we will use a third party to convert the payment received into the relevant currency and we will arrange for the payment to be credited to your Monese Business Account. We charge an annual fee to receive these international payments plus a transaction fee. More details are in the Fees and Limits page. Some sending banks or intermediary banks (banks that help transfer the money between other banks) will also charge fees for sending international transfers to the dedicated virtual IBAN. If this happens, we will deduct these fees from the transfer received before crediting your Monese Business Account.

6.20 You can get more information on which currencies we support for International Payments, the exchange rate for outgoing payments in the Monese App, and any fees applicable (as specified on the Fees and Limits page) and/or on the Website.

6.21 We will only allow a payment to be made if the payment is within your Monese Business Account Limits and there is sufficient Available Balance.

6.22 The time of receipt of a Payment Instruction is when we receive it. If the Payment Instruction is received at the end of a Working Day, it is deemed to be received on the following Working Day. You cannot stop a transaction after it has been transmitted to us and you have given your consent, or when you have given your consent to a pre-authorised payment.

6.23 In relation to any payment order you give directly to us we will on request from you tell you the maximum execution time and the amount of any charges payable, including a breakdown if appropriate.

AUTHORISATION FOR PAYMENTS AND STOPPING PAYMENTS

6.24 It is your responsibility to ensure you provide correct recipient account details and payment amount when making any payment or setting up a payee. You are responsible if you give us incorrect instructions or mistakenly instruct us to make the same payment more than once, but we will try to help you get the money back. We may not always be able to do this, but we will do all we can. We may charge you a fee for tracing, recalling or cancelling a payment. If we cannot get the money back, you can request the relevant information we have about the transaction to help you reclaim the money. We will provide this information on receiving a written request from you, unless applicable law prevents us from doing so.

6.25 You can authorise us to make a payment from your Monese Business Account via the Monese App by setting up electronic payments and giving us instructions via a third party, such as through a Direct Debit scheme or Payment Initiation Service Provider. We will treat a payment as authorised by you if:

6.25.2 You have set up or agreed to any Direct Debit payments to be taken from your Monese Business Account; or

6.26.2 The Monese Business Account is suspended or closed; or

6.26.3 The Monese Business Account has reached its Monese Business Account Limits; or

We may ask you to verify your identity or identity of any Cardholder for security purposes.

6.30 You will generally not be able to stop any payment once it has been authorised by you or Payment Initiation Service Provider. However, you may be able to stop a Direct Debit payment provided that:

6.30.1 You cancel the Direct Debit at any time until the end of the Working Day preceding the day your Monese Business Account is due to be debited; and

6.30.2 The payment has not already been made.

6.31 If you stop or cancel a Direct Debit, you must tell the recipient to whom the Direct Debit is payable. We will not be responsible if you fail to inform them and the recipient will not have any claim against us.

6.32 If, for any reason, a payment is processed for an amount greater than the Available Balance on your Monese Business Account, you must repay us the amount by which the Full Deductible Amount exceeds your Available Balance immediately after receiving an invoice from us. Should you not repay this amount immediately after receiving an invoice from us we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action and/or closing your Monese Business Account, to recover any monies outstanding.

6.33 If, for any reason, a payment made to a recipient within the EEA arrives later than intended, you may request us to contact the receiving bank or institution and ask them to treat this payment so that the credit value date matches that of the intended date of receipt of the payment.

9.7 You agree to indemnify, and hold harmless, us and our distributors, partners, agents, sponsors, and service providers and their group companies from and against the costs of any legal action taken to enforce this Agreement and/or any breach of this Agreement or fraudulent use of the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card, Monese App log-in details, or PIN by or authorised by you.

9.8 The Monese App is only supported on devices where the operating system has not been modified, or jailbroken, or configured to allow software installation from sources other than those approved by Monese (including, but not limited to, the Apple App Store and Google Play). Use of the Monese App on such a device is at your own risk and we cannot be held responsible for any financial loss or loss of data or Information.

LOST, STOLEN OR DAMAGED CARDS

10.1 In the event of loss, theft, fraud, or any other event that results in the risk of an unauthorised use of the Monese Business Card or Monese Business Account, or if the Monese Business Card is damaged or malfunctions, you must ensure that the Monese Business Card is blocked via the Monese App immediately or contact Customer Services. Please refer to paragraph 17.2 for further information as to how you can contact Customer Services.

10.2 Provided that the Cardholder has followed one of the steps in accordance with paragraph 10.1 and that paragraph 10.4 does not apply, then you will not be liable for losses that result following the date on which the Cardholder blocked their Monese Business Card and/or Monese Business Account or informed Customer Services. If there is an Available Balance remaining on your Monese Business Account, you can request a replacement Monese Business Card for your Monese Business Account via the Monese App. If we replace the Monese Business Card, the Monese Business Card will be delivered to the Cardholder’s home address (fees apply, see Fees and Limits page).

10.3 In the event that we have reason to believe that either you or the Cardholder have acted fraudulently or have acted with gross negligence or intentionally (i) in failing to notify us of the lost or stolen Monese Business Card or Monese Business Account security details, or (ii) where the Cardholder has failed to keep their Monese Business Card or security information relating to the Monese Business Card or Monese Business Account safe, or (iii) where you or the Cardholder have breached this Agreement, then you shall be liable for all resulting losses.

10.4 Subject to paragraph 10.3, you may be liable up to a maximum of £35 for any unauthorised payment transactions using your Monese Business Account or Monese Business Card where the Monese Business Account or Monese Business Card security information has been lost or stolen, or where you have failed to keep such security information safe from misappropriation. This charge, however, will not apply if: it was not possible for you to detect the loss, theft or misappropriation before the payment was made (unless you acted fraudulently) or the loss was caused by our employee or agent.

UNAUTHORISED AND INCORRECT TRANSACTIONS

11.1 If you have a reason to believe that a transaction on your Monese Business Account was not authorised by you or a Payment Initiation Service Provider, you must inform Customer Services immediately via telephone or in-app chat, but in any event within 13 months from the date of the relevant transaction.

11.2 If you inform us of an unauthorised executed transaction under paragraph 11.1:

11.2.1 the obligation lies with us to prove that the transaction was authenticated, accurately recorded, entered in our accounts and not affected by a technical breakdown or any other deficiency in our services;

11.2.2 We will by the end of the next Working Day following receipt of notification in accordance with paragraph 11.1 and subject to paragraph 11.2.1 refund the unauthorised amount including any fees to your Monese Business Account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised or improperly executed transaction had not taken place.

11.2.3 We are not obliged to refund the unauthorised sums to you if Monese have reason to believe that you have acted fraudulently and we may notify the police or any other authority permitted by law. If we don’t provide a refund by the end of the next Working Day, but subsequently confirm that the transaction was unauthorised, we will refund the unauthorised sums to you straight away. These will be back valued to ensure you suffer no loss.

11.2.4 We will have no further liability to you once we have refunded the unauthorised sums to you. If we subsequently discover on investigation that you were not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the transaction, including any fees, to your Monese Business Account. We shall give you reasonable notice of any such reversal of a refund.

11.3 You will be liable for all unauthorised transactions made from your Monese Business Account if you have deliberately, or with gross negligence, failed to keep your Monese Business Account security details or Monese Business Card or Monese Business Card security information safe in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or where you have failed to notify us without undue delay on becoming aware that your Monese Business Account security details or Monese Business Card or Monese Business Card security information has been lost, stolen or otherwise misappropriated.

11.4 Unless you have acted fraudulently you will not be liable for any losses in respect of unauthorised transactions from your Monese Business Account after you have told us that your Monese Business Card or Monese Business Card security information or Monese Business Account security details has been lost, stolen or compromised.

11.5 We are responsible for making payments on your Monese Business Account correctly. If you tell us that a payment has been made incorrectly, we will immediately refund your Monese Business Account with the amount including fees of the incorrect payment transaction and restore your Monese Business Account to the state in which it would have been had the incorrect transaction not taken place. However, this will not apply if:

11.5.1. You fail to tell us of the incorrect payment without undue delay and, in any case, within 13 months of the date on which the transaction occurred;

11.5.2 Any part of the Unique Identifier in the Payment Details you gave us was incorrect. If so, we will make reasonable efforts to recover your money if the payment has gone missing, but we may charge you a fee to cover our costs in doing so. We will tell you how much it is before we start recovery. If we are unable to recover the funds, you can request the relevant information we have regarding the transaction to help you reclaim payment amount. For legal reasons, we are obliged to provide this information on receipt of a written request, except where the law prevents us from doing so; or

11.5.3 We can show that the payment was actually received by the other bank (in which case they are liable);

11.5.4 The failure giving rise to the incorrect payment was due to abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which would have been unavoidable despite all efforts to the contrary, or if it arose because of our having to comply with applicable EU or UK laws.

11.6 If funds have been paid into your Monese Business Account by mistake, we can take the funds back out of your Monese Business Account and/or put a hold on the money so it cannot be spent:

11.6.1 We don’t have to tell you before we take the money back or put a hold on the money.

11.6.2 If funds go into your Account by mistake, 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.

11.7 If an error is made in Direct Debit, you will be entitled to a refund from the payee or us under the Direct Debit Guarantee.

11.8 Regardless of liability, if you wish to make a request for information regarding the execution of a payment transaction, we will make reasonable efforts to trace the transaction and notify you of the outcome, free of charge.

VARIATION

12.1 We may change this Agreement, including fees and applicable limits, by providing you with at least two months’ notice by e-mail (provided you have supplied us with an up-to-date e-mail address). In addition, the most recent version of this Agreement will be available on the Monese App.

12.2 If you do not agree with the changes to the Agreement, you may at any time within the two months’ notice period terminate this Agreement and close your Monese Business Account at that time in accordance with paragraph 8.1 without a charge. However, in the event you do not terminate, or close your Monese Business Account, during this period then you will be deemed to have accepted the changes to this Agreement and the changes will apply to you.

12.3 If any part of this Agreement is inconsistent with any regulatory requirements then we will not rely on that part but treat it as if it did actually reflect the relevant regulatory requirement.

12.4 There are some situations where we can make changes to this Agreement and we do not have to tell you in advance.  These are changes you probably expect because of the nature of the product or service, or that we deem to be an improvement to the service with no negative monetary impact to you. We do not have to tell you personally in advance when any of the following happen:

12.4.1 The change has no monetary detriment to you, better protects customer funds, provides a better service or if we introduce a new service or feature from which you can benefit.

12.4.2 Any change to applicable exchange rates from time to time.

12.4.3 Whilst we will always, where possible, give you at least 2 months’ notice of any changes required by UK laws and regulations, there may be exceptional instances where this may not be possible. In such circumstances we will give you as much notice as possible.

TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

13.1 This Agreement will continue until terminated by you or us. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving notice to Customer Service.

13.2 We can terminate this Agreement at any time if we give you two months’ notice via e-mail, in-app messaging or text and refund the Available Balance to you without charge. We can also terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if you, in your capacity as either the Monese Business Account Holder or the Cardholder, have breached any provision of this Agreement, or if we have reason to believe that you have used, or intend to use, the Monese Business Account or Monese Business Card in a grossly negligent manner or for fraudulent or other unlawful purposes, or if we can no longer process your transactions due to the actions of third parties.

13.3 The parties retain their usual legal rights to treat the framework as unenforceable, void or discharged, in line with usual contract law principles.

13.4 In the event that any additional fees are found to have been incurred on your Monese Business Account following termination by either you or us, then subject to this Agreement, you shall refund to us any sum which relates to a withdrawal on the Monese Business Account or fees and/or charges validly applied whether before or after termination. We will send an invoice to you and will require you to refund us immediately. Should you not repay this amount immediately after receiving an invoice from us we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action, to recover any monies outstanding.

13.5 We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement if the Services are not utilised for 12 consecutive months, but we will provide prior notification.

SUSPENSION OF SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

14.1 Monese may, at its sole discretion, without prior notice at any time suspend your access to the Monese Business Account, your Monese Business Card or other Services if, in our reasonable assessment we consider the:

(b)    the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card or other Services are being used to for fraudulent or illegal purposes; and/or

(f)     you have not provided information reasonably requested by us; and/or

(g)    the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card or other Services are not utilised for three (3) consecutive months.

14.2 In the event that we deem it appropriate to suspend the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card or other Services at any time, you will receive immediate notification by email, to the email address that you have registered with us. Where possible, that notification will explain the reason for the suspension.

14.3 A temporary suspension of the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card or other Services will result in either a decision to terminate this Agreement or reinstate the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card or other Services. In either event, we will provide written notification of our decision.

14.4 You can appeal against the suspension of the Monese Business Account, Monese Business Card or other Services contacting Customer Services.
