  4. USING YOUR CARD
    1. If you have been provided with a physical card, you will need to find out your PIN before you use it. Virtual cards do not have a PIN as they can only be used for card-not-present transactions (i.e., online or over the phone).
    2. You can view your PIN at any time within your online account accessed via the website, or it can be received by SMS to your registered mobile number.
    3. You can change your PIN at any time through any ATM that offers this service. If we are charged by the ATM provider for this, we reserve the right to pass this charge to your card. You should be advised of any charges for changing your PIN at an ATM before you do this. Please note, we have no control over these charges or this service. If you do change your PIN, ensure you do not choose a PIN that can be easily guessed, such as your telephone number or date of birth.
    4. If you have a virtual card, you can view your card details at any time within your online account by accessing via the website. You will be able to retrieve your 16-digit card number, expiry date and CVV which you can then use when shopping online, in the same way you would any other card.
    5. Before using your card, you need to make sure there are enough funds loaded on it. You can check your balance at any time by logging into your account or by using our telephone services.
    6. If you wish to use your physical card in-store for a purchase which, including any applicable fees, is greater in value than the balance on your card, you must tell the retailer to charge only up to the available balance, and you will be required to pay the difference by another means (such as another card or cash). It is the retailer's discretion to allow part payments.
    7. Part payments are not supported when shopping online, for either physical or virtual cards.
    8. You will not be able and should not attempt to use your card after its expiry date.
    9. Unless you have been advised otherwise, you can use your card anywhere that Mastercard is accepted, in the UK or overseas (except for certain restrictions outlined in Card Usage Restrictions). Physical cards can be used online, over the phone or instore. Virtual cards cannot be used instore.
    10. Like any other payment card, we cannot guarantee a retailer will accept your card. In the event you are refused in a location you believe your card should have been accepted, please Contact Us. Please note, if a retailer declines your transaction, this is outside of our control and any concerns should be raised directly to the retailer.
    11. We and the retailer will treat any transaction as genuine and made by you when:
      • Your PIN was used when paying with your physical card instore.
      • You have swiped your physical card at the till, rather than using the PIN, for payment.
      • If available on your physical card, you have used the contactless payment facility for payment instore.
      • You have paid online using your physical or virtual card's security details.
      • You have paid over the phone using your physical or virtual card's security details.
    12. We will deduct the value of your transactions immediately from the balance on your Card. Transactions may remain in a pending status until the retailer has settled the payment. It is up to the retailer how long funds are kept in a pending status. During this time, you cannot use these funds.
    13. Like any other payment card, we cannot guarantee a retailer will accept your card. In the event you are refused in a location you believe your card should have been accepted, please Contact Us.
    14. If you are using your card to pay in a different currency (not £), the value of the transaction will be converted using the Mastercard conversion rate at the time the transaction is processed (settled and billed to your card not necessarily the time of the transaction itself). Note that exchange rates may fluctuate. You can find current or past conversion rates at www.mastercard.co.uk. When paying in a different currency, Foreign Exchange Fees may apply (see Fees and Charges).
    15. You will not be charged a card usage fee for domestic transactions (within the UK).
    16. You may be required to provide additional authentication when making purchases online with your card or when accessing your online account. You may be required to enter a one-time passcode sent to you by SMS or an alternative authentication method, therefore you must keep your contact information up to date to ensure you can authorise your transactions if required and log in to your online account.
    17. You cannot stop any transactions once made. However, any transaction that is agreed by a retailer to take place on a future date (after the date you authorise the transaction) may be withdrawn. To withdraw a transaction, you need to give the retailer at least one (1) full business day notice of your intent, providing a copy of this notice to us. We may charge you the Administration Fee for this (see Fees and Charges).
    18. If your available balance is not enough to cover the amount of the transaction plus any applicable fees (see Fees and Charges), the payment transaction will be declined; unless:
      • Some retailers require you to pre-authorise a payment before the value of the final bill is known. For example, restaurants or hotels may ring-fence a balance greater than the expected final bill on your card and then settle the actual final bill later, without checking the balance available at that time again. Once the retailer has ring-fenced the expected bill balance, these funds will not be available for you to use until the final bill is settled. If the final bill is less than the expected bill, it may take up to fifteen (15) days for the difference to be added back to your card. The retailer determines the length that any ring-fenced balance is kept after the final bill is settled. If the final bill is larger than the pre-authorised amount, this may result in your card going into a negative balance.
      • Certain retailer websites will also send pre-authorisation requests to check if there are sufficient funds available on your card to cover the value of your order, even when this order is not finalised yet or when you have not proceeded to checkout. Here too the retailer may not check the available balance before settling the final payment, resulting in funds either remaining in a ring-fenced status or resulting in your card going into a negative balance.
    19. We may refuse to pay a transaction if:
      • We are concerned about the security of your card or we suspect your card is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner
      • Insufficient funds are available on the card at the time of the transaction to cover the amount and any applicable fees
      • We have reasonable grounds to believe that you are acting in breach of these terms and conditions
      • We believe that a transaction is potentially suspicious or illegal or
      • Because of errors, failures or refusals by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes processing transactions.
      If we refuse to authorise a transaction, we will, if practical, tell you why immediately, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so.
    20. If you leave the programme through which you received your card, or if the party who provided you with the card terminates the programme, we may:
      • Charge you the monthly Administration Fee (see Fees and Charges).
      • No longer issue you with a replacement card when your card expires or when you report your card as lost/stolen.
      • Cancel your card.
    21. If we choose to cancel your card or if the party who provided you with the card terminates the programme, we will notify you two (2) months before your card will cease to work. You will no longer have access to any funds on the card after this point.
    22. We may deduct any applicable fees from your balance as soon as they become payable by you. (See Fees and Charges).
    23. If your card goes into a negative balance, we will notify you and require you to repay the balance in the time and manner requested. We reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including suspending the card or taking legal action if required, until we have recovered the outstanding funds. We may charge an Administration Fee for each transaction completed or attempted while your card has a negative balance (See Fees and Charges).
    24. We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, non-delivery or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased using your card. If you have any disputes about the goods or services purchased with your card, you should settle these with the retailer. You may ask us to mediate on your behalf, but we are not required to do so. If we do and subsequently find that the goods or services were provided to you and/or the retailer has the right to not honour your request for a refund, we reserve the right to charge you the Investigation Fee (see Fees and Charges).
    25. The card belongs to us. We may at any time suspend, restrict, or cancel your card, or refuse to issue or replace a card for reasons related to the following:
      • We are concerned about the security of your card
      • We suspect your card is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner
      • Or we need to do so to comply with law
      • If we do this, we will tell you as soon as we can or are permitted to do so after we have taken these steps.

    3. You cannot add your card to a digital wallet (such as apple pay or android pay).
    4. You should not use your card to pre-book services, such as hotels and car hire companies, as this may result in a negative balance on your card when the final bill is settled. We suggest that you use an alternative method of payment for pre-authorisations, and then use your card when checking out of the hotel or paying your final car hire bill. You will not be charged twice by the hotel or car hire company.

These restrictions will prevent you from purchasing goods or services that are prohibited for persons under the age of eighteen (18).

    9. We will charge you the Investigation Fee for each disputed transaction that was not upheld, capped at £50 (see Fees and Charges).

We may subsequently also cancel your card (see Expiry and Cancellation).
    11. Where necessary, and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, we reserve the right to investigate any transactions at any time, and to charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur in taking action to stop you using your card, other than in accordance with this Agreement, and to recover any monies owed, as a result of such activity.
    12. You may be entitled to a refund for a pre-authorised transaction when the retailer did not specify the exact amount at the time of its authorisation, or during the four (4) weeks prior, and the amount charged by a retailer is more than you could reasonably have expected. In this case, however you are only able to claim a refund within eight (8) weeks immediately after the transaction appeared on your account. We advise you first to try to settle this with the retailer directly. If you are unable to do so, we can mediate on your behalf but will not be able to refund you until we receive a refund verification acceptable to us from the retailer.
