3.3 When you receive your Physical Card, you must sign it immediately and then log onto the SWAPX APP or Online Portal to activate it using your activation code sent to you by email when you ordered your card. You must register your Card within the SWAPX APP or Online Portal by loading a minimum of £10.

​
4. Personal Details
4.1 When entering into Transactions over the internet, some websites may require you to enter your Personal Details and, in such instances, you should supply the most recent Personal Details that you have provided us with.
4.2 You must notify us of any change in your Personal Details as soon as possible by contacting Customer Services or updating the details in your Online Account or SWAPX APP. You will be liable for any loss that directly results from any failure to notify us of a change in your Personal Details as a result of undue delay, your gross negligence or fraud. We will need to verify your new Personal Details and may request relevant KYC information/documents from you as applicable.
4.3 We reserve the right at any time to satisfy ourselves as to your Personal Details (for example, by requesting relevant original documents) including for the purposes of preventing fraud and/or money laundering. In addition, at the time of your application or at any time in the future, in connection with your Card, you authorise us to undertake electronic identity verification checks on you either directly or using relevant third parties.
​
5. Loading your Card
5.1Funds may be added to your Account by any of the permitted methods set out in the “Card Load Fees” section of the Fees and Limits Schedule.
5.2To load your Card by debit card, you must use a debit card that has been issued by a regulated financial institution in the EEA and registered in the same name and address as your Card.
5.3We reserve the right to request KYC documents and verification of your source of funds at any point.
5.4Fund loading limits may vary according to the type of Card and as set out in the Fees & Limits Schedule.
5.5 If enabled, you will have the option to transfer your Available Balance or part balance from your Card or Account to other Accounts that may be held with us (i.e. a “Card-to-Card” transfer). If you instruct us to make a transfer from your Account to another person’s Account, the requested amount will be debited from your Account and credited to the other person’s Account in accordance with your instructions. You may incur a Card-to-Card Transfer Fee for this transaction.
6. Using your Card
6.1 Your use of the Card is subject to the fees and limits detailed in the Fees & Limits Schedule, which shall be deducted from the Available Balance. Fees and limits may vary according to the type of Card.
6.2 Unless we inform you otherwise, you can use the Card at any Merchant who accepts the Scheme to carry out Transactions.
6.3 You must always ensure that you have sufficient Available Balance for each Transaction you authorise (including value added tax and other taxes, duties and applicable fees). If the Available Balance is insufficient to pay for a Transaction, some Merchants may not permit you to combine the use of your Card with other payment methods.
6.4If for any reason a Transaction is carried out but its amount exceeds the Available Balance, you must pay us the deficit immediately, and if you fail to do so after receiving a notification from us, we reserve the right to take all necessary steps, including legal action, to recover this deficit.
6.5 There are certain circumstances where a Merchant may require you to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the Transaction you wish to make and you will only be charged for the actual and final value of the Transaction. Merchants may request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend for example, when making hotel or rental car reservations. In the event that a Merchant has prior authorization on your Card, you will not have access to the relevant funds until the Transaction is completed or, if sooner, up to a period of 30 days. We will only block access to the exact amount of funds authorised by you.
6.6 Your Card cannot be used where such Merchants are unable to obtain online authorisation that you have sufficient Available Balance for the Transaction (for example, Transactions made on trains, ships, some in-flight purchases and tollbooths). We accept no liability if a Merchant refuses to accept payment using the Card.
6.7 We do not recommend using a Virtual Card to purchase an item over the internet that subsequently would require the presentation of a physical reference device in order to obtain that item. Examples include certain theatre ticket purchases, hotel stays, car rentals, and online purchases picked up in person.
6.8 You must not use the Card for any illegal purposes.
​
7. Authorising Transactions
7.1You will need to give your consent to each Transaction so that we can check it is genuine by, where applicable, a) using your PIN or other security code personal to you; b) providing the Card details and/or providing any other details personal to you and/or your Card. Once you have given such consent to the Transaction, it will be deemed to be authorised.
7.2The time of receipt of a Transaction order is when we receive it. If a Transaction order is received after 4pm on a Business Day then it will be deemed to have been received on the next Business day.
7.3Once a Transaction has been authorised by you and received by us, it cannot be revoked.
7.4Where a Merchant’s payment service provider is located within the EEA and the payment services being carried out are in the currency of an EEA Member State, we shall ensure the cash transfer to the Merchant’s payment service provider within 4 Business Days following the day on which the Transaction order is received.
7.5Certain Merchants may not accept payments made through the Card and we accept no liability for this: it is your responsibility to check the restrictions of each Merchant.
7.6Your ability to use or access the Card may occasionally be interrupted, for example if we need to carry out maintenance on our systems or websites. Please contact Customer Services to notify us of any problems you are experiencing using your Card and we will try to resolve these as soon as possible.
8. Additional Cards
8.1 At our sole discretion and provided we have received sufficient KYC information/documents (in accordance with condition 5.3), you may be eligible to apply for an Additional Card for use by an Additional Cardholder by contacting Customer Services or accessing the relevant area in your Online Account.
8.2 Additional Cardholders must be at least 18 years old or, provided that you are legally responsible for them, at least 13 years old. Transactions by persons under 18 years of age may not be allowed by some Merchants but in all cases, you shall be responsible for any use of any Additional Cards by such persons. We may request KYC for each Additional Cardholder as required.
8.3 If your Additional Card application is successful, we will send you an Additional Card, which will be subject to a Fee and which you may give to the nominated Additional Cardholder for their exclusive use, provided that:
-
you provide the Additional Cardholder with a copy of these terms and conditions (which will then bind use by both of you);
-
the Additional Card is used only by that Additional Cardholder;
-
you retain the Primary Card for your sole and exclusive use in accordance with this Agreement;
-
all Transactions made on the Additional Card shall be considered as having been authorised directly by the Primary Cardholder, who shall be responsible for such Transactions and any applicable Fees.
8.4 Funds cannot be loaded directly on to any Additional Cards, which will be connected to the same Account as the Primary Card. The Account may only be loaded by Primary Cardholder in accordance with condition 5.
8.5 You must ensure that any Additional Cardholders under 18 years of age do not use a Card for any purpose for which the minimum age is at least 18 e.g. purchase of alcohol, adult entertainment or gambling.
