6.2 Payments into and Transactions from your Payment Account can only be made to/from accounts in the UK via electronic bank transfer using Faster Payments or any other payment types as added and notified to you by us from time to time.

6.3 Your Payment Account is denominated in and all Transactions will be made in British Pound Sterling (GBP). We may offer Payment Accounts denominated in other currencies or execute Transactions in other currencies from time to time (see Schedule 2), in which case the currency of your Payment Account and Transactions will be as notified to you. All payments to your Payment Account must be made using Payment Account details we have notified you of.

6.4 Limits may apply to the maximum value of an individual Transaction, the maximum aggregate value and/or number of all Transactions made from your Payment Account in a particular time period e.g. during any one Business Day. The limits that apply to your Payment Account will be communicated to you during the Payment Account set-up process. These limits may also change over time based on your Payment Account usage; any such change will be communicated to you. Any Transaction request which exceeds such limits will be rejected.

6.5 You must not use any of our Services or Payment Account in connection with any Prohibited Transaction (including, without limitation, for receipt or paying out of proceeds connected with any such Prohibited Transaction). We are not obliged to provide our Services with respect to any transaction which we know or reasonably suspect is connected to a Prohibited Transaction.

6.6 It is your and not our responsibility to ensure that you only send payments to or receive payments from persons or entities for the sale or supply of goods and services that you may provide or receive in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. The mere fact that a person or entity accepts payments through us is not an indication of the legality of the supply or provision of their goods and services. If you are in doubt as to the legality of a supply or purchase, you should not continue with the Transaction.

7. Payments into your Payment Account

7.1 If a payment is made into your Payment Account, we will credit your Payment Account when we receive the funds which could be up to 3 Business Days after the payment was instructed, depending on how the payment was sent.

7.2 All funds received into your Payment Account will be automatically paid out in accordance with your payment instructions (see further Clause 8.1 on how you can give us instructions). Any funds received into your Payment Account without a particular payment instruction attached to them will be automatically paid out to the Client’s nominated account no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the day the funds were received into the Payment Account, unless we receive a payment instruction from you to pay out such funds differently in the meantime.

8. Authorising and Executing Transactions from your Payment Account

2. in writing by email using details we have provided to you for this purpose;
3. by telephone; or
4. through a Payment Initiation Service Provider

8.2 You may be required to provide appropriate Security Credentials depending on the method used to give us instructions to make a Transaction.

8.3 When you instruct us to make a Transaction, you must provide us with the correct recipient details and a reference for the payment and any other information we asked for. For Transactions to UK Accounts, this means the recipient’s name, account number and sort code and payment reference. For Transactions to accounts outside the UK (where applicable), we may need additional information, such as IBAN. We may also ask you to provide such additional information as we may reasonably require, including but not limited to details of the beneficiary and the reason for payment. If you provide us with incorrect or incomplete information or refuse to provide information, we may refuse to execute the Transaction, the funds could be lost and irrecoverable or there could be a delay in the recipient receiving the payment.

8.4 A Transaction cannot be cancelled or changed after the instruction for that Transaction is received by us. Instruction will be deemed to have been received by us at the time you gave us the instruction in accordance with Clause 8.1 above.

8.5 We will execute the Transaction by the end of the Business Day following the day when we received the instruction to make the payment, except where we receive the payment instruction not on a Business Day, or after a cut-off time for receiving instructions, in which case we will process the Transaction the next Business Day. The cut-off time for receiving instructions to make transactions is 3.30pm.

8.6 Transactions will be credited to the recipient’s account with its payment service provider no later than the end of the Business Day after we processed your payment instruction, and usually quicker, except that if the transfer involves a currency other than British Pound Sterling (GBP), including where there has been a currency conversion at some point then a longer period may apply.

8.7 We may at any time suspend or restrict your use of the Payment Account or refuse to process your instructions or authorise any particular Transaction if:

1. we are concerned about the security of or access to your Payment Account and/or Security Credentials;
2. we suspect the Payment Account is being used in an unauthorised, illegal or fraudulent manner or in relation t any Prohibited Transaction;
3. the payment instruction is unclear, illegible, incorrect or incomplete ;
4. you have failed to use  the authentication method and/or Security Credentials required;
5. there are insufficient cleared funds to cover the amount of the Transaction and any applicable fees in your Payment Account;
6. the Transaction would breach any applicable Payment Account or Transaction limit
7. we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are acting in breach of these Terms or
8. we are required to do so to comply with the law.

Some TPPs may (with your permission) choose to access your Payment Account without identifying themselves to us and to use your Security Credentials. We will treat any instruction from a TPP as if it was from you. You should always consider the implications of sharing your Security Credentials and personal information.

10.2 We may deny TPP access to your Payment 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.

10.3 If you have provided consent to a TPP to access to your Payment Account to enable them to provide Account Information Services or Payment Initiation Services on your behalf, you consent to us sharing your information with the TPP as is reasonably required for them to provide the relevant services to you.

You will be liable if you or the Authorised Person fail to keep the Security Credentials safe and secure.

   2. b) we can show that the Transaction was actually received at the recipient’s account (in which case the recipients payment service provider is liable).
3. We shall refund the amount of the unauthorised Transaction together with charges, fees and interest, as soon as possible and in any event no later than the end of the Business Day after you notified us of unauthorised Transaction, unless we have reasonable grounds to suspect you (or Authorised Person) acted fraudulently and we notified the police or other person permitted by law.

12.3 If after we have given you a refund our investigations of a disputed Transaction subsequently discover that it was in fact genuine and authorised by you (or by Authorised Person) directly or indirectly, or that you or Authorised Person have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence, we will deduct the amount of the disputed Transaction from your Payment Account balance and we reserve the right to recover the value of any Transaction that was refunded to you by any other legal means.
