    2. SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT

    • 2.1 Your Monese Account is an e-money account held in pounds sterling (referred to as Monese UK Account) or euro currency (referred to as Monese Eurozone Account). If you get a Monese Card (referred to as Monese UK Card or Monese Eurozone Card respectively in case specification is required) that is associated with your Monese Account, the Monese Card will be a prepaid debit card not a credit card, a charge card or debit card.
    • 2.2 The Monese Account is an electronic money product and the electronic money stored in the Monese Account is issued by PPS, and distributed and administered by Monese as agent for PPS.
    • 2.3 All Monese 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 Card remains PPS’s property.
    • 2.4 Your rights and obligations relating to the use of your Monese Account and Monese Card are as set out in this Agreement between you and us; you have no rights against Mastercard or its respective affiliates. If you experience any difficulties in using your Monese Account and/or Monese Card you should contact Customer Services.

    • 2.6 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 Account and therefore it is important that you ensure you keep your e-mail address and mobile phone number updated via the Monese App. You may download a copy of this Agreement from our website (www.monese.com/terms).
    • 2.7 If you wish to make use of services provided by an Authorised Third Party Provider on your Monese Account, you may do so provided that you have signed up to use Monese App and your Monese 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 the Authorised Third Party Provider each time an access to your Monese 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.
    • 2.8 If an Authorised Third Party Provider requests access to your Monese 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 app. When we seek your explicit consent to such access we will make it clear to you the purpose of the 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 so approved this request we are obliged to provide access to your Monese Account if it is requested by an Authorised Third Party Provider and can only refuse access in certain circumstances.
    • 2.9 If you do not wish to use services provided by an Authorised Third Party Provider on your Monese Account, you simply refuse to provide your consent or refuse to share your Monese App credentials with an Authorised Third Party Provider.

    3. APPLYING FOR AND REGISTERING YOUR MONESE ACCOUNT

    • 3.1 To apply for a Monese Account, you must be at least 18 years old.
    • 3.2 We will register your Monese 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.
    • 3.3 If we discover that the information we hold about you is incorrect, we may have to suspend or cancel your Monese Account until we can establish the correct information, in order to protect us both.
    • 3.4 To use the Monese Account, you will need to download the Monese App via your mobile phone.
    • 3.5 A Monese Account is for personal use only, not for business use. If you use your Monese Account for business purposes we may close your Monese Account immediately.

    4. RECEIVING AND ACTIVATING A CARD

    • 4.1 The Monese Card will be posted to your home address, as provided to us by you.
    • 4.2 When you receive the Monese Card, you as the Cardholder must immediately sign it and activate the Monese Card via the Monese App. If the Monese Card is intercepted before you receive it you will not be liable for any misuse.
    • 4.3 Once the Monese 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 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 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.

    5. USING THE MONESE CARD

    • 5.1 The Monese 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 paragraph 11). Each transaction will need to be authorised by the Cardholder at any Merchant by entering the PIN or other security code, if the Merchant does not accept chip and PIN authorisation, the Merchant may allow the Cardholder to authorise the transaction by signature of the receipt. A transaction can also be authorised by tapping the Monese 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 Card PIN or other security code personal to the Cardholder is used; or
    • 5.1.2 the Monese Card is used and the Cardholder has authorised the transaction by signature of the receipt.
    • 5.2 The Monese 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 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 UK Card can be used to make transactions in a currency other than pounds sterling and the Monese Eurozone Card can be used to make transactions in a currency other than euro ("foreign currency transaction"). The amount deducted from your Monese Account will be converted to pounds sterling or euro (depending on which Monese card has been used) 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 Card to make a foreign currency transaction (transaction in currency other than the underlying currency of your Monese Card), we will charge an additional foreign currency exchange fee (see paragraph 11).
    • 5.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Monese 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 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 in instances of transactions of unknown amounts as suggested under 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 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 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 Account (e.g. if the Cardholder has given their Monese 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;
    • 5.62 the amount that has been charged to your Monese 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 Account.
    • 5.7 We may ask you to provide information as is reasonably necessary to verify that conditions in 5.6.1 – 5.6.3 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 that information) we will either:
    • 5.8.1 refund the payment in full; or
    • 5.8.2 tell you the reasons 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; and
    • 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 if the payment in question was higher than you reasonably expected to pay is 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 Card, the funds will be added to the Available Balance of the Monese Account when we receive the funds from the Merchant.

    LIMITS ON THE USE OF THE MONESE CARD

    • 5.12 The Monese Card cannot be used in in all situations. Where it is not possible to obtain online authorisation that the Cardholder has a sufficient Available Balance for the transaction, the Monese Card cannot be used. This may be the case for transactions on trains, ships, and some inflight purchases. You will be responsible if an offline transaction does go through for whatever reason and you must repay us the amount that exceeds the Available Balance.
    • 5.13 The Monese Card cannot be used to pay at the pump at self-service petrol pumps; however, you can use the Monese Card to pay for the petrol by taking it to the cashier.

    • 11.2 Monthly fee is paid once a month in advance for the upcoming monthly fee period. The monthly fee period is 30 consecutive calendar days, based on 360 day calendar year, which means if you pay your monthly fee on February 2nd then the next monthly fee will be charged on the same day each month. If your next payment date is scheduled for a date that does not occur in a given month, you'll be charged on the last day of that month instead. If your accounts have an Available Balance which is less than the agreed monthly fee, no monthly fee will be taken from your accounts. The agreed monthly fee payments and monthly fee period will recommence when your Available Balance is greater than the agreed monthly fee.
    • 11.3 We will deduct any taxes or charges due from the Available Balance on your Monese Account. If there is no Available Balance of funds, or taxes or charges exceed the balance of funds available on your Monese Account we will:
    • 11.3.1 deduct these from the Available Balance of any other account you have opened with Monese (such as a Monese Eurozone Account if your core account is Monese UK Account and vice versa). If your Available Balance on the other account is in a currency other than the taxes or charges due, we will convert the funds from such account at the exchange rate set by the third party currency exchange and payments service provider Monese uses for the International Payments.
    • 11.3.2 in case the Available Balance on any of your accounts opened with Monese is not sufficient we shall send an invoice to you and will require you to refund us immediately after receiving the invoice. 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. If for any reason you don’t have enough balance on your account to cover the monthly fee, we will just deduct the next month’s monthly fee the next time you deposit money and no monthly fee will be charged for the period when you had insufficient balance.
    • 11.3.3 Monese Starter Customers may upgrade to become a Monese Plus Customer at any given time in the app. Upon upgrade you must have sufficient Available Balance for at least one monthly fee payment as a Monese Plus Customer. Should you not have sufficient Available Balance on your Monese account we may still upgrade you and create a pending monthly fee payment which will be payable by you upon sufficiently funding the account. If you have ordered as a Monese Starter Customer a Monese Card and payment for the card has not been taken before the upgrade you will still be liable for payment of this card.
    • 11.3.4 Monese Plus customers may downgrade to become a Monese Starter customer after payment of at least the first monthly fee. After this the downgrade to Monese Starter can be made at any time which will come into force at the end of the monthly fee period.

    12. UNAUTHORISED AND INCORRECT TRANSACTIONS

    • 12.1 If you have a reason to believe that a transaction on your Monese 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 of the date of the relevant transaction.
    • 12.2 If you inform us of an unauthorised executed transaction under paragraph 12.1:

    • 12.2.2 we will by the end of the next Working Day following receipt of notification in accordance with 12.1 and subject to 12.2.1 refund the unauthorised amount including any fees to your Monese Account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised or improperly executed transaction had not taken place.
    • 12.2.3 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.
    • 12.2.4 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 Account. We shall give you reasonable notice if any such reversal of a refund.
    • 12.3 You will be liable for all unauthorised transactions made from your Monese Account if you have deliberately or with gross negligence failed to keep your Monese Account security details or Monese Card or Monese 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 Account security details or Monese Card or Monese Card security information has been lost, stolen or otherwise misappropriated.
    • 12.4 Unless you have acted fraudulently you will not be liable for any losses in respect of unauthorised transactions from your Monese Account after you have told us that your Monese Card or Monese Card security information or Monese Account security details has been lost, stolen or compromised or where the Monese Card has been used in connection with a distance contract.
    • 12.5 We are responsible for making payments on your Monese Account correctly. If you tell us that a payment has been made incorrectly, we will immediately refund your Monese Account with the amount including fees of the incorrect payment transaction and, restore your Monese Account to the state in which it would have been had the incorrect transaction not taken place. However, this will not apply if:
    • 12.5.1. 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;
    • 12.5.2 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
    • 12.5.3 we can show that the payment was actually received by the other bank (in which case they are liable).
    • 12.5.4 if 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 other EU or UK law.
    • 12.6 If funds have been paid into your Monese Account by mistake, we can take the funds back out of your Monese Account and/or put a hold on the money so it cannot be spent.
    • 12.6.1 We don’t have to tell you before we take the money back or put a hold on the money.
    • 12.6.2 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.
    • 12.7 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.
    • 12.8 Regardless of liability, if you wish to make a request for information regarding the execution of a payment transaction, we will make immediate efforts to trace the transaction and notify you of the outcome, free of charge.

    • 13.3 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.
    • 13.4 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.

    • 13.4.1 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.
    • 13.4.2 Whilst we will always, where possible, give you at least 2 months’ notice of any changes required by UK or EU law or regulation, there may be exceptional instances where this may not be possible. In such circumstances we will give you as much notice as possible

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