Your FasterPay account will allow you to add money to your digital wallet, send money to another FasterPay User, make purchases with any merchant who displays the FasterPay logo, withdraw money from your digital wallet to be transferred to a Payment Account. Before you can do any of these things, however, you need to register one or more Payment Methods with us. By entering your Payment Method details, you authorize FasterPay to confirm that the Payment Method is valid and in good standing, and that it is your account. The manner we will use to do so will vary by the type of Payment Method, but may include, without limitation, submitting a small authorization or debit to the Payment Method.
3.2. FasterPay offers you the ability to load funds from your Payment Method(s) to your Account to be used to fund a later purchase or transfer of funds, whenever you choose. Neither we nor our Partner Bank will owe you interest on any balance kept in your Account, and you expressly acknowledge and agree that any interest on funds we deposit with the Partner Bank while holding such funds for your use belongs to us. If your Account balance becomes negative for any reason, you authorize us to initiate a debit or charge to your Payment Methods in order to return it to zero.
3.3. Loading of Funds:
You have different options to top up your account: using Payment Methods under your name.
For bank transfers, ensure you use the correct account details provided by FasterPay within the FasterPay App. Once we receive the transfer, we'll promptly add the equivalent e-money value to your account. Follow the app's instructions closely to prevent any delays.
The specific account details required for topping up will vary based on the currency you're adding. For instance, if you're adding funds in USD($), use the “USD account' details as indicated in the FasterPay app.
If you opt to use a stored card in a different currency, please note that your bank or card issuer/provider will apply their currency exchange rates and might apply some currency exchange fees and FasterPay will have nothing to do with such third-party charges. Should you choose to utilize a bank account in a different currency, please be aware that your bank will transfer funds to FasterPay's acquiring bank in your native currency. Our bank will then convert the funds into your desired currency according to their applicable currency exchange rates and fees.
FasterPay charges to our users a minimal Top-up fee as mentioned on the Fee Page, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change the rates in future. If we do so, we will give you advance written notice, by posting such revised rates on our website/app, You shall be responsible for keeping track of such changes. Apart from FasterPay fees, the issuer of your Payment Method or other third-parties may apply some charges.. You are solely responsible for any fees imposed by third-parties related to your FasterPay transactions, including without limitation any bank fees, interest, taxes, or other expenses.
We strive to ensure that you can add money to your account without incurring fees. However, in certain regions, some methods of adding funds come with costs for us. In such cases, we may pass on these costs to you in the form of a fee. You will always be informed of these fees in advance in the FasterPay App.
3.4. Send Money
a) You can easily send money to another FasterPay user or to the bank account of any beneficiary in the geographies we support (as prompted in the FasterPay app) by using the Payment Methods added to your Account. To send money, make sure you have the correct FasterPay account details i.e. username or email or phone number of the person you're sending money to, both of which should be registered with FasterPay or the correct bank account details of the beneficiary. Simply use the 'Send Money' feature and enter the payment details accurately. You can find the limits for sending money while filling in the amount in the send money option. Please note that users who are registered with FasterPay, but are still in the process of verifying their identity may have limits on the amount they can receive from you. If this is the case, the transaction will not be processed.
You have the option to send and receive money instantly to and from other FasterPay users through what we term Send Money (subject to the terms of the agreement, disclaimers, availability of third-party payment processors/services, compliance with AML, CFT checks, and applicable laws). These transfers are received immediately upon completion. To make an instant transfer to another FasterPay user, simply select them from your contacts list within the FasterPay app, use their username, or utilize any other method we offer for identification, following the provided prompts.
If you have added a valid bank account as a Payment Method, you are able to request funds be transferred from your Account to your bank account at any time. You are solely responsible for any fees charged by third-parties (for instance, your bank) in connection with transferring the funds to your bank account. You further acknowledge and agree that FasterPay is not responsible for any loss or fees incurred if you provide us with incorrect bank account information. It is solely your responsibility to verify that you have entered your account information correctly before initiating a transfer pursuant to this section.
b) Before initiating a payment, it's crucial to ensure the accuracy of the recipient's details. It's advisable to conduct a test payment of a nominal amount (e.g., £1) to confirm the accuracy of the account details. Consider the following:
Always verify the identity of the recipient before making a payment. If someone requests a payment from you, but you're uncertain about their identity or the purpose of the payment, it could be a scam, and recovering the funds might be challenging/impossible.
c) The contacts displayed in the FasterPay app are sourced from the names and phone numbers saved in your phone's contacts. These details aren't verified by us or any other entity. Consequently, if you've saved incorrect information in your phone, you might inadvertently send money to the wrong person, risking the loss of your funds.
d) Usernames displayed in the FasterPay app may resemble others and can be modified by individual users. While we make efforts to remove inappropriate usernames, they aren't verified by us or any other entity. If you're unsure about the identity of the recipient, there's a risk of sending money to the wrong individual and potentially losing your funds.
e) We aren't liable if a payment is made to the recipient you've instructed, even if you've provided incorrect account numbers, usernames, incorrect amounts, or phone numbers by mistake. However, upon your request, we'll endeavor to retrieve your funds. We may also provide you with information about the recipient to assist you in reclaiming the funds yourself, if permitted as per applicable laws. While we'll make efforts to assist, we can't guarantee success, and there may be instances where we're unable to do so.
f) The final decision to proceed with payments rests with you. While we aim to provide you with additional information to make informed decisions, this information is supplied by the institution holding the recipient's account and not by us. Consequently, we cannot ensure its accuracy, and neither we nor any third parties assisting us in providing these services are responsible for any payments made to incorrect accounts.
3.5. Purchases. You may make a purchase with FasterPay using either your account or your Payment Method with any merchant who displays the FasterPay logo. To do so, either select FasterPay as your payment method at a Merchant, or click the ‘Top Up’ button after logging into your FasterPay account.
You also have the option to perform an instant transfer (subject to limitation mentioned in the Agreement) to a business utilizing FasterPay as one of the payment methods for receiving money. This can occur through two methods:
3.5.1. User Payments: You can direct us to make a transfer for a specific amount from your FasterPay App to a business/merchant, such as opting to pay through your account rather than using a card during checkout. They are one-time transactions, and the Merchant will only receive the exact amount you authorize to send. No additional payments will be made without your explicit consent.
3.5.2. Merchant Payments: With your consent, a business can initiate transfers from your FasterPay Account in the future. This could be for purchases or on a recurring basis for subscription services. Unlike User Payments, Merchant-Payments can vary in amount and frequency. If you wish to stop a Merchant Payment, you should directly contact the business providing the service to cancel it. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact details provided in the FasterPay app or hereunder, and we will process your request.
You will receive notifications within the FasterPay app whenever a payment is executed from your FasterPay Account.
3.5.3.When you make a purchase, we have to transmit certain information to third-parties. First, when you are paying with a Payment Method, we will have to transmit information to the applicable network to verify the Payment Method has funds available and otherwise as necessary to process the payment. Additionally, we may transmit information, including without limitation your name and email address, to the merchant in order to allow them to fulfill your purchase. You expressly agree to allow us to transmit your information as needed to fulfill these transactions.
3.5.4. If you have registered multiple Payment Methods, you are solely responsible for verifying the right one is selected before initiating any transaction through your FasterPay account. We cannot be responsible for any losses due to the selection/use of an incorrect Payment Method.
3.5.5. Where you request to make a purchase in a different currency than the currency of your Payment Method, you will be responsible for any resulting currency exchange fees or funds loss due to such conversion to your desired currency, as per the applicable currency exchange rates set by us based on the going market rates for conversion (as also explained in clause 8). You acknowledge and agree that we will alter the exchange rates daily based on the market rates.
3.5.6. You can also pay through QR code function at a merchant website/app by scanning and following the steps prompted in the FasterPay app.
As you use your FasterPay account to make purchases, we will update the transaction history in your account. It is your responsibility to regularly review history for accuracy and notify us in case you find any errors.
3.6. Payment Link:
You can send money to a beneficiary or friend who doesn't have a FasterPay account by generating a 'payment link' within the FasterPay app. This link allows you to agree on a specific amount without needing to input the recipient's account details. Instead, you select the amount, share the link, and the recipient then inputs their own account information.
Furthermore, you have the option to create a payment link to receive payments, which you can then send to the beneficiary or friend.
Once you've shared the link with the beneficiary or friend, they will be prompted to finalize the payment by providing the necessary details.
If you are sending money using a payment link, the beneficiary or friend will need to enter their bank account details into the link. The payment will then be directed to their bank account, as if you had yourself entered the details into the app. Depending on the amount or type of payment or ceratin other reasons, the beneficiary or friend might be requested to join FasterPay to complete the transaction for security, regulatory and legal reasons. Once they do, the payment will be sent to their FasterPay account.
When receiving money via a payment link, the sender or your friend will need to enter their card details or bank account details, into the link. The payment will then be made from their card or bank account. We may impose limits on the amount you can request using a payment link, which will be displayed in the app.
All payment links have an expiration time and date. Once this time limit passes, the link will no longer be valid, and the beneficiary or friend won't be able to make or receive the payment. The app will specify the duration of this time limit when you generate the link.
Please remember, when creating a payment link to send money, you are essentially committing to make a payment without directly inputting the recipient's account details. The payment will be processed to whichever details are provided through the link. It's crucial to exercise caution in sharing the link and ensure it goes to the intended recipient only. In case you have concerns about a payment link you've created, you can cancel it (before completion) via the app's transaction history.
3.7. Currency Exchange: For transactions made through the service that require currency conversion, they will be processed at a foreign exchange rate set by us, along with a currency exchange fee represented as a specific percentage above the exchange rate, as detailed in the Fee section. Our foreign exchange rate is regularly adjusted to reflect market conditions. This exchange rate is subject to daily updates by us and will be applied immediately. You can check the current exchange rates in the FasterPay app.
Each User can make exchanges at these rates, based on the overall limits imposed and outlined in the app by FasterPay. Following a currency conversion, your transaction history in the FasterPay app will display the utilized exchange rate.
Please note that exchange rates may fluctuate between the time of your request and the actual conversion. Consequently, the amount you receive could be slightly more or less than anticipated. We are not liable for any losses incurred due to currency exchange transactions.
If a Merchant offers currency conversion at the point of sale, which is not provided by us, and you opt to authorize the payment transaction based on the Merchant's exchange rate and charges, we hold no liability to you for that currency conversion. When your payment is funded through your linked card and requires a currency conversion, by agreeing to this Agreement, you consent and authorize us to perform the currency conversion in place of your credit or debit card issuer.
You acknowledge and accept that the financial institution or operator or bank issuing the linked card or providing the bank account for funding transactions may levy a fee and/or currency conversion fee for debiting or charging the funding instrument used in the transaction. For details on these fees, refer to the terms and conditions associated with your funding payment instrument. We are not responsible for taxes, fees, or costs imposed by third parties.
3.8. FasterPay is not a bank, and we do not issue cards to any End Users. The Service is not approved by or affiliated with the issuer of your Payment Method. Nothing in these terms modifies your agreement with the issuer of your Payment Method in any way. You remain responsible for complying with all the terms of such agreements when you use the Service, as well as for any and all charges to said Payment Methods resulting from your use of the Service. If there is any inconsistency in these terms and your agreement with your Payment Method issuer, these terms govern your relationship with FasterPay and your agreement with the issuer of your Payment Method will continue to govern your relationship with the issuer.
3.9. If you do not use your TopUp account for a period of at least two (2) years and a balance remains, FasterPay will attempt to remit the balance to the mailing address we have on file for you. If we are unable to do so, we may be required by applicable law to deliver it to your state or country of residence as unclaimed property. If this is the case, we will attempt to send you notice prior to doing so. If you do not respond to this notice, we will remit the funds accordingly.
4. Payment Cancellation:
For payments scheduled to be deducted from your account in the future, such as recurring payments, you have the flexibility to cancel them through the FasterPay app anytime before the end of the business day preceding the scheduled payment date.
Once a payment has been processed, it cannot be canceled. This applies to instant transactions requested by you, such as Instant Transfers or currency exchanges.
5. Account/Transaction Limitations and Holds
5.1.We impose a $2500 limit per transaction on all transactions initiated through the Service. Additionally, we reserve the right to establish other individual or aggregate transaction limits in our sole discretion, including but not limited to by limiting your number of transactions or preventing you from taking certain actions within the FasterPay service.
We may impose restrictions on the amount you can receive into or pay from your account, as well as on withdrawals or spending using your FasterPay Account. We may also limit the currency exchange value you can conduct at once or within a specific timeframe. These limits are subject to change periodically as per applicable laws, rules and arrangement with banks, payment partners, acquirers etc. Information regarding these limits can be found in the FasterPay Account area when conducting a currency exchange.
5.2. In rare instances, we may place a hold on an individual transaction, or on your account as a whole. We may also cancel or reverse any transaction. Any such actions can be taken at our sole discretion, and may occur if: 1) the transaction is disputed, or 2) We believe that the transaction is fraudulent, suspicious, invalid, may be the subject of a future dispute, or it otherwise violates our terms of service or applicable law or regulation.
5.3. Where we believe, in our sole discretion, that an account has had a disproportionate number of suspicious transactions, or transactions subject to holds, we reserve the right to either temporarily or permanently block the account.
5.4. If we take any of the actions identified in this section, we’ll provide you with notice and a description of our reasons for doing so, unless it would compromise our security measures or is otherwise unlawful.
5.5. If we have reasonable suspicions or receive information from third parties, such as Card Organizations, other Regulators, or card issuers/acquirers, regarding potential fraud involving stolen or false cards, unauthorized payments, or other irregularities associated with your use of FasterPay Services, we reserve the right to withhold or block all amounts in your account and related accounts, and initiate an investigation without prior notice to you or third parties. You are required to cooperate with us and provide all requested information pertaining to the suspected fraud or unauthorized payments. We must conduct our internal investigation within a reasonable timeframe and inform you of the outcome, unless prohibited by law for compliance reasons. You acknowledge and consent that in certain instances of violations, we may be obligated to report you to Card Organizations' registries or other Regulators and terminate your use of our service, for which we shall not be held liable.
6. Refunds and Disputes
6.1. All refunds and disputes related to a transaction made through the Service must be resolved through FasterPay’s dispute resolution process. FasterPay is the only one able to authorize or initiate refunds, and reserves the right to do so in its sole discretion. All dispute solutions are binding on both you and the Merchant. We will, however, consider an appeal where you are able to present new or compelling information that was not previously available.
6.2. Merchant Payments are debited from your account with your prior consent. We advise businesses to disclose the amount of any Merchant Payment before processing it. In the event that you believe a Merchant Payment was debited in error, you have the right to request a refund within 8 weeks of the transaction. Simply reach out to us via contact details provided, to initiate the refund process. We will inform you of the status of your refund within 10 business days.
6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you used a credit or debit card as your Payment Method for the transaction, rather than your Account, you may also have recourse by dispute mechanism provided by your card issuer under their fraud and chargeback policy. However, you must select either our dispute resolution process or pursue a claim through your issuer. Although you can open a dispute with your card issuer after utilizing FasterPay’s dispute resolution process, we will not be liable for any losses you suffer due to filing a dispute with your card issuer after their deadline for doing so.
6.4. You may be liable for all or part of unauthorized transactions when they arise out of the use of a lost or stolen payment instrument or where you have failed to keep your account login details safe/secured or when you have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence.
6.5. If you believe we have failed to properly execute your requested transaction, you should contact us immediately. We will make every reasonable effort to trace the transaction and, where necessary, refund the amount in question.
6.6. You can seek reimbursement for losses arising from unauthorized, delayed, unexecuted, or incorrectly executed payment transactions. This does not include any fees, interest, or losses (unless you are utilizing the Service as a consumer) incurred due to unauthorized or incorrectly executed transactions conducted with the payment instruments provided under the Service. You are required to notify us of any unauthorized or incorrect transactions within 7 (seven) days from the date your Account was debited for the unauthorized transaction or incorrect payment order. Upon entitlement to reimbursement after investigation and decision in your favor, we will credit your Account with the refunded amount of the transactions, minus applicable fees as mentioned in the Fee section.
7. Set-Off:
7.1. You are not permitted to borrow money on your account, such as making payments exceeding the available balance. In the event that your balance becomes negative, for instance, due to insufficient funds to cover owed fees, you are required to promptly top up your account.
7.2. Failure to replenish and bring your balance to zero, or failure to settle owed fees (excluding third-party payment fees) or any outstanding amounts, empowers us to off-set the owed amount from any funds due to you, including those held in any other account you maintain with us, whether solely or jointly. This right of set-off enables us to deduct the owed amount from your account in your base currency or its equivalent in another currency until the negative balance is fully cleared.
If your account lacks sufficient funds to cover fees or other outstanding amounts owed to us, we may recover the deficit through alternative means, as outlined below, after informing you:
a) Utilizing your linked card to collect the owed amount.
b) Initiating various measures to recover owed funds, including:
- Engaging a debt collection agency to contact you.
- Commencing legal proceedings for enforcement purposes.
- Providing information to fraud prevention agencies where permissible.
Should we undertake any (or all) of these actions, you may be liable for our reasonable associated costs. Additionally, you may incur additional fees such as surcharges for top-ups, heightened foreign exchange markup on weekends, costs related to engaging a debt collection agency, or our legal expenses.
7.3. You consent to our authority to promptly fulfill any of your obligations by withdrawing funds (“Set-Off”) directly from your Account, or from any outstanding amounts owed by Us to You, including by debiting or charging your linked payment instruments. We will notify you through your FasterPay Account regarding the basis, amount, and value date of such withdrawals, unless prohibited by law or regulations due to AML or security reasons.
7.4. If there is a delay in payment of amounts owed to us, you will incur a penalty for the delay, calculated at the statutory interest rate for each day of the delay from the date of delay until the full amount is paid.
