It is important to note that the actual time required for the funds to reach the recipients account is not entirely in our control. The actual time the transfer will take from the moment it is initiated in your PassTo wallet to the moment it reaches the recipients account may depend on many factors relating to the operational and compliance procedures of the recipient bank, the banking network the payment goes through and any intermediary parties involved. It also depends on varying working hours of different institutions. For this reason, we can only provide an estimation and not the actual time.
8.10 Right of Set-off: Without prejudice to any other rights PassTo may be entitled to, we may at any time and without notice set off any amount you (whether actual or contingent, present or future) owe PassTo against any amount owed by PassTo to you.
9.1 Protection for Unauthorised Transactions and Errors: An “Unauthorised Transaction” occurs when a payment is sent from your Account that you did not authorise, for example in the case of fraud. This could occur if someone steals your password, uses the password to access your Account, and sends a payment from your Account (therefore an Unauthorised Transaction has occurred).
If you give someone access to your Account (by giving them the username or password to your Account) and they conduct transactions without your knowledge or permission, you are responsible for any resulting use and loss and this will not classify as an Unauthorised Transaction. We will not be liable or responsible for the recovery of funds if you send a payment to the wrong party, or send a payment for the wrong amount (based on a typographical error, for example) and this will not classify as an Unauthorised Transaction, nonetheless, we will, where possible, make reasonable efforts to recover the funds in such circumstances.
9.2 You should regularly review your Account history statement to ensure that there has not been an Unauthorised Transaction or Error. We will send an email with a copy of your Account history statement to the primary email address you have provided once a month in order to notify you of each transaction from your Account. You should also review these transaction confirmations to ensure that each transaction was authorised and is accurate.
9.3 When an Unauthorised Transaction or an Error occurs in your Account, we will cover you for the full amount of every Unauthorised Transaction (as defined below) or Error so long as you follow the procedures set out below.
9.4 Notification Requirements: You must notify us immediately on becoming aware of any Unauthorised Transaction or Error, this may include the following:
(a) there has been an Unauthorised Transaction or Unauthorised access to your Account;
(b) there is an Error in your Account history statement;
(c) your password has been compromised; or
(d) you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or transaction confirmation.
9.5 When you notify us of an Unauthorised Transaction or Error, provide us with all of the following information:
(a) your full name and the email address registered to your Account;
(b) a description of the suspected Unauthorised Transaction or Error (including the amount and date of the suspected Unauthorised Transaction or Error) and an explanation as to why you believe the transaction qualifies as an Unauthorised Transaction or Error;
(c) whether you need more information to identify the transaction and what the information is; and
(d) the amount of any suspected Unauthorised Transaction or Error.
9.6 If you notify us orally, we may require that you send the above information in writing within ten (10) Business Days of your oral notification.
9.7 You must notify us of any Unauthorised Transaction or Error within 13 months from the date of the Payment Transaction; failure to do so will result in you waiving any right to remedy the Unauthorised or incorrectly executed Payment Transaction unless we have failed to inform you of the occurrence of the Payment Transaction within 13 months of Payment Transaction.
9.8 Actions after Receipt of Your Notification: Once you notify us of any suspected Unauthorised Transaction or Error in accordance with the Clause 9.2 above (or we otherwise learn of an Unauthorised Transaction or Error) we will do the following:
(a) We will conduct an investigation to determine whether there has been an Unauthorised Transaction or Error and if so, whether the Unauthorised Transaction or Error is eligible for protection (an “ Eligible Unauthorised Transaction”). We may request additional information from you during our investigation and you agree to provide such information (failure to do so will result in elongating the time we will take to complete our investigation set out in Clause 9.5(b) and Clause 9(c) below).
(b) We will aim to complete our investigation within ten (10) Business Days of the date we received your written or oral notification of the suspected Unauthorised Transactions or Error. If your Account is new (i.e., the first transaction from your Account was less than 30 Business Days from the date of the transaction), we may take up to 20 Business Days to complete this investigation. If we need more time, we may take up to 45 Days to complete our investigation.
(c) We will inform you of our decision within 3 Business Days after completing our investigation. If we determine that there was an Unauthorised Transaction or Error, we will promptly credit the full amount into your Account within 3 Business Day of our determination.
