(ii) your identity and your share of the funds in the Pooled Account (as represented by your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance) will be maintained in the records of the Issuer.
(b) The Prepaid Card is not a debit card supported by a bank account, and does not in any way connect to or constitute a savings account or a checking account. No interest will be paid for funds maintained in the Prepaid Card Wallet. Funds maintained in the Prepaid Card Wallet will not expire. There is no fiat cash back facility. It is also not a guarantee card, charge card or credit card. You will not earn any interest on any funds loaded on to the card.
(c) You acknowledge that the Issuer is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow agent with respect to your funds.
(d) Statements showing your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance may be accessed via the App. You can decide whether information about your Prepaid Card, including the Prepaid Card Wallet Balance, transaction history should be actively provided by us on an ad-hoc basis via email to your registered email address.

You may also fund your Prepaid Card Wallet via your debit or credit card by providing your debit or credit card details, and the relevant amount to be transferred, through the App. Upon the Issuer’s receipt of confirmation that such debit or credit card transaction has been authorized, the Issuer will credit the corresponding value of funds to your Prepaid Card Wallet.
The stored value in your card fiat wallets is held by the Issuer in a segregated account.

We will inform you of any such change in advance of it occurring. In some circumstances due to the way these changes can take place, it is possible that funds in the Pooled Account which represent your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance will be remitted back to your own bank account by the outgoing Issuer rather than being transferred to the incoming Issuer’s custodian bank. If this occurs, you agree that we can debit your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance as necessary to reflect any such funds received directly by you.

9.3 You are not allowed to effect any Card Transaction or Card to Card Transfer the value of which is higher than your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance. Any attempt to do so will result in the Card Transaction or Card to Card Transfer being rejected.
9.4 You authorize the Issuer to debit your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance when:
(a) any Fees are charged to your Prepaid Card Wallet;
(b) you effect any Card to Card Transfer from your Prepaid Card Wallet;
(c) any Card Transaction in respect of your Prepaid Card is received from the Card Network, provided that the Issuer reserves the right to decrease the Prepaid Card Wallet for an amount larger than the original debit transaction to account for any foreign exchange or customary industry type related variances or fees that may be applicable to such transactions;
(d) regulatory or risk management action is taken by the Issuer, at its discretion, in order to comply with Applicable Laws or regulations or to ensure the safety of your funds; and/or
(e) money is paid into your Prepaid Card Wallet by accident or mistake, however, if you don’t think such payment made to you from a payment service provider in the EEA was a mistake, we may share your personal information with the payment service provider so that they can contact you directly. This is because we are required by law to cooperate with other payment service providers and share all relevant information with them in order to assist with tracing money which is sent to the wrong person.
9.5 The Issuer will increase the Prepaid Card Wallet Balance upon:
(a) successful funding of your Prepaid Card Wallet in accordance with the process specified in Clause 8.2 above;

(c) disputes with Merchants resolved in your favour.
9.6 If your Prepaid Card Wallet Balance becomes negative, you shall immediately top-up funds into your Prepaid Card Wallet to cover such negative balance and to increase your balance to zero at the minimum. Failure to do so is a material breach of these Terms and we reserve the right to cancel your Prepaid Card immediately.
10. SPENDING
10.1 The Prepaid Card is not a credit card; hence usage thereof shall be dependent on the available Prepaid Card Wallet Balance.
10.2 The Prepaid Card is only accepted by Merchants participating in the Card Network. The Issuer will not authorise transactions for an amount larger than the Prepaid Card Wallet Balance on the applicable Prepaid Card or if such transaction will result in the Card Limits being crossed.
10.3 You can use your Prepaid Card to purchase goods and/or services from a Merchant either online or at a point of sale terminal that accepts the Prepaid Card. You will need to follow the instructions on the relevant website or point of sale machine to perform the Prepaid Card purchase. This may involve you entering the details of the Prepaid Card (the card number, expiry date and CVC number) or your Prepaid Card PIN number.
10.4 If you choose to be charged for your purchase in a currency other than the currency for which you hold enough stored value in your Prepaid Card Wallet, the Issuer will first debit the relevant amounts from the stored value held in that currency chosen by you before debiting further amounts from the stored value held in other currencies until the full amount has been debited. The exchange rate applied by the Issuer in this process will be the same exchange rate that will be applied as if you had effected an FX Conversion.
10.5 For card-based payment transactions where you do not know the exact amount of the payment transaction at the time you authorise it, we will not block funds on your payment instrument unless you authorise the exact amount to be blocked. This could be the case for payments you make at hotels or at fuel stations for example. We shall release any blocked funds without undue delay as soon as we are aware of the exact amount of the payment transaction and immediately after receipt of the relevant payment order.
11. FX CONVERSION
11.1 You can effect an FX Conversion on all or any part of the fiat currency held in your Prepaid Card Wallet to convert such fiat currency into another type of available fiat currency by using the exchange function on the App or at the point of sale/online purchase. The currencies which you are able to purchase and store in your Prepaid Card Wallet are limited to those set out in the App and are subject to change from time to time.

(a) the amount of existing fiat currency from your Prepaid Card Wallet which will be used to purchase the other fiat currency requested; and (b) the exchange rate of the FX Conversion. You will need to confirm these details in order to proceed with the FX Conversion. By confirming these details and submitting such a FX Conversion request, you accept sole responsibility for entering into the FX Conversion. The Issuer will not be responsible for any losses you incur as a result of you using this FX Conversion service. The request to enter into an FX Conversion will be accepted when we confirm to you that the FX Conversion has been entered into, on the App.
11.3 The amount of fiat currency which you can convert using the FX Conversion service may be limited by the Issuer in its sole discretion.
12. WITHDRAWAL SERVICES
12.1 You can use your Prepaid Card to withdraw cash from automated teller machines which accept the Prepaid Card (“Withdrawal Services”).

Such withdrawals are also subject to the Card Limits, and withdrawals which will result in the Card Limits being crossed will not be authorised.
12.2 We do not charge for Withdrawal Services up to the threshold of your Prepaid Card set out in the App, the Site and/or the FAQs, which may be amended by the Issuer from time to time. If you withdraw more than such threshold, each withdrawal will be subject to certain Fees (as set out in the App, the Site and/or the FAQs and may be amended by the Issuer from time to time).
12.3 If you choose to withdraw cash using the currency conversion offered by the automated teller machine provider, the Issuer has no liability to you for that currency conversion.
