The Cardholder may make purchases online and over the phone using their Digital Card. A Cardholder 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 the Cardholder 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. We will treat the transactions as authorised and genuine if:

6.2.1        the Card PIN or other security code personal to the Cardholder is used;

The Cardholder may be able to cancel transactions that they have authorised for a future date (including recurring transactions) by contacting the retailer before the date on which the payment is due to be made.

6.4 The 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. The Cardholder must not use the Card if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance.

6.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all of the transactions that are made by the Cardholder. There are some circumstances where 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. 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.

Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time a transaction is made and the time it is deducted from the Available Balance. The Cardholder can find out the exchange rate applied to a transaction in their transaction history. We will charge an additional foreign transaction fee for all foreign currency transactions.

If we are unable to recover the funds, you can request the relevant information we have regarding the transaction to help you reclaim the 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

13.7.1      the authorisation given did not specify the exact amount to be paid;

13.7.2      the amount that has been charged to the Card was more than the Cardholder could reasonably have expected to pay, based on the circumstances, including previous spending patterns; and

13.7.3      the Account Manager make the refund request within eight weeks of the date when the payment was taken from the Card.

13.8 We may ask the Account Manager to provide information as is reasonably necessary to verify that conditions in 13.7.1 – 13.7.3 apply.

13.9.1 refund the payment in full; or

13.9.2 tell the Account manager the reasons why we do not agree to the refund.

13.10.1 the Cardholder have given us your consent for the payment to be made; and

13.10.2 where applicable we (or the person or a Merchant the Cardholder agreed to pay) have given them information on the payment in question at least four weeks before the due date of the payment.

13.10.3 if the payment in question was higher than the Cardholder reasonably expected to pay is due to a change in any currency exchange rate.
