You can authorise a transactions on the Card 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 you to authorise the transaction by signature of the receipt. A transaction can also be authorised by tapping the Card against a Contactless enabled reader. We may refuse to execute a transaction if the transaction is unlawful or fraudulent or if you do not have sufficient Available Balance. We will treat the transactions as authorised and genuine if:
6.1.1 the Anytime Card is tapped against a Contactless enabled reader and accepted by such reader;
6.1.2 the Anytime Card PIN or other security code personal to you is used;
6.1.3 the Anytime Card is used and you have authorised the transaction by signature of the receipt;
6.1.4 the Anytime Digital Card details have been used;
6.1.5 the Wearable Payband is tapped against a contactless enabled reader and accepted by such reader; or

You must not use the Anytime Card if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance.
6.4 The Anytime Card can be used to make transactions in a currency other than Euro ("foreign currency transaction"), the amount deducted from your Anytime Card will be converted to Euro on the day we receive details of that foreign currency transaction. We will use a rate set by Mastercard, which will be available on each Working Day and changes in the exchange rate shall take effect immediately. Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time a transaction is made 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. We will charge an additional foreign transaction fee for all foreign currency transactions.
6.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Anytime Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all of the transactions that are made by you. There are some circumstances where Merchants may require you to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the transaction you wish to make. You will only be charged for the actual and final value of the transaction you make. Merchants request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend. For example:
6.5.1 hotels, rental cars, and
6.5.2 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. Also please bear in mind that many sites will not deduct payment until goods are dispatched so please be aware of this when checking the Available Balance to make sure sufficient funds are available to cover all purchases.

You can authorise a transactions on the Card 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 you to authorise the transaction by signature of the receipt. A transaction can also be authorised by tapping the Card against a Contactless enabled reader. We may refuse to execute a transaction if the transaction is unlawful or fraudulent or if you do not have sufficient Available Balance. We will treat the transactions as authorised and genuine if:
6.1.1 the Anytime Card is tapped against a Contactless enabled reader and accepted by such reader;
6.1.2 the Anytime Card PIN or other security code personal to you is used;
6.1.3 the Anytime Card is used and you have authorised the transaction by signature of the receipt;
6.1.4 the Anytime Digital Card details have been used;

6.2 Once you have authorised a transaction, you will not be able to withdraw your consent to the transaction.
6.3 The Anytime Card is a prepaid card, which means that the Available Balance will be reduced by the full amount of each transaction and authorisation, plus any applicable taxes and charges, including additional ATM charges if any. You must not use the Anytime Card if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance.
6.4 The Anytime Card can be used to make transactions in a currency other than Euro ("foreign currency transaction"), the amount deducted from your Anytime Card will be converted to Euro on the day we receive details of that foreign currency transaction. We will use a rate set by Mastercard, which will be available on each Working Day and changes in the exchange rate shall take effect immediately. Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time a transaction is made 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. We will charge an additional foreign transaction fee for all foreign currency transactions.
6.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Anytime Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all of the transactions that are made by you. There are some circumstances where Merchants may require you to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the transaction you wish to make. You will only be charged for the actual and final value of the transaction you make. Merchants request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend. For example:
6.5.1 hotels, rental cars, and
6.5.2 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. Also please bear in mind that many sites will not deduct payment until goods are dispatched so please be aware of this when checking the Available Balance to make sure sufficient funds are available to cover all purchases.
6.6 If a Merchant agrees to give a refund for a purchase made using the Card, the funds will be added to the Available Balance of the Anytime Card when we receive the funds from the Merchant.
