ACCOUNT & CARD LIMITS
2.1 Limits may apply to the balance on your Account at any time, the maximum
value of an individual payment Transaction, maximum Virtual Transaction value
per Card, the maximum aggregate value of all payment Transactions made from
your Account or Cards in a particular time period e.g. during any one Business
Day and the maximum number of payment Transactions made from your Account over
a particular timeframe. Your Cards may also have certain Card Transaction
types disabled, such as cash withdrawals at an ATM.
2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card will be
communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card
is issued to you (as applicable). These limits may also change over time based
on your Account and/or Card usage; any such change will be communicated to
you. You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You
should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such.
2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the
limit or restriction applicable to your Account or Card, for example when it
is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for
or on transport (purchases on a train, aeroplane, underground or toll
payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur.
In this case the process in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 inclusive will apply.
2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your
Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will place a “pre-
authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the
Card Transaction is completed or released by the Merchant. The pre-
authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds
owed to them from the Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and
rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr
must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on
your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 inclusive
will apply.
2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud
or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to
certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security
purposes, we do not disclose them.
SCOPE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3.1 Your Account is an electronic money account (and therefore is not a
traditional bank account) and the electronic money and any Card associated
with it is issued to you by us. We are regulated by De Nederlandsche Bank N.V.
for the issuance of electronic money. Your rights and obligations relating to
the use of this Account are subject to these Terms and Conditions between you
and us.
3.2 The types of Transactions enabled for your Account will be explained to
you by the Partner Platform, or as subsequently enabled by us. The terms of
these Modulr Account Terms and Conditions applicable to specific Transactions
or payment types (for example, Cards) apply only to the extent that such
Transactions or payment types are enabled for your Account.
3.3 This Agreement is written and available only in English and we undertake
to communicate with you in English regarding any aspect of your Account.
3.4 You agree that we or the Partner Platform may communicate with you by
e-mail or telephone for issuing any notices or information about your Account
and therefore it is important that you ensure you keep your e-mail address and
mobile phone number updated.
3.5 You can request a copy of these Terms and Conditions at any time by
contacting Customer Services.
3.6. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you acknowledge that the Dutch
Deposit Guarantee Scheme or other government sponsored insurance does not

OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT
4.1 Your Account will be opened on your behalf by the Partner Platform. You may only hold an Account so long as you remain an approved client of the Partner Platform that provided you with your account details.
USING THE ACCOUNT
5.1 Your Account can receive bank transfers and other payment types as added
and notified to you by Modulr from time to time. Subject to paragraph 5.3, we
will credit your Account when we receive the funds which could be up to three
Business Days after the payment being instructed, depending on how the payment
was sent.
5.2 Your Account can also receive internal transfers from other Modulr
Accounts owned or controlled by the Partner Platform, which apply instantly.

5.3.1 the Account has reached the Account Maximum Balance or Account Limits;
or
5.3.2 the Account is blocked or terminated; or
5.3.3 the sender has provided incorrect/invalid Account Details for your
Account; or
5.3.4 we suspect the payment to be fraudulent.
5.4 If we are unable to credit your Account for any of the reasons in
paragraph 5.3 then the funds may be sent back to the sender without a prior

any actions taken by the Partner Platform these should be discussed with the
Partner Platform. We are also authorised to take instructions from any other
Account Manager (where different from Partner Platform) and, with respect to
Physical Card Transactions, from the Cardholder. You are responsible for all
actions of the Account Manager and any Cardholder in relation to the Account
and/or Card(s).
5.6 Your Account can make payments out to external bank accounts via SEPA
Transfer, Faster Payments, SWIFT Payments (if selected as a Modulr Product)
and other methods as added and notified to you by the Partner Platform from
time to time. With regard to SEPA Transfers, Modulr will automatically process
inbound and outbound SEPA payments via SEPA Instant Credit Transfers where
possible. In the event Modulr is unable to process such payments via SEPA
Instant Credit Transfers, the payments will default to being made via SEPA
Credit Transfers.

Card Transactions. You or your Account Manager or Partner Platform can request
a Virtual Card or a Physical Card to be issued to you via the Online Portal or

register and/or store the details of the Card within third party apps and/or
devices and to use those third party apps/devices to initiate payments with
your Card. When you first register your Card within a third party app/device
we support, you may be required to verify that it is you requesting the
registration of the Card. If you do not do this, you may not be able to
register and use your Card through the third party app/device.
5.9 The value of any Card Transaction, together with any applicable fees and
charges, will be deducted from your Account once we receive the authorisation
request from the Merchant.
5.10 If the Card Transaction is made in a currency other than the currency the
Card is denominated in, the Card Transaction will be converted to the currency
of the Card by the relevant Card Scheme at a rate set by it on the day we
receive details of the Card Transaction. The exchange rate varies throughout
the day and is not set by us. You can check the relevant Card Scheme rate as
follows.
Mastercard Card Scheme rate at: https://www.mastercard.co.uk/en-
gb/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html ;
VISA Card Scheme rate at: https://www.visa.co.uk/support/consumer/travel-

Merchant to use 3DS. Physical Cards are automatically enrolled for use with
3DS. When you use 3DS, you agree that the following shall apply in relation to

3DS. You must ensure that your mobile phone can receive SMS at the time of

Passcode and must not share it with anyone else.
5.11.6 You will be responsible for any fees or charges imposed by your mobile
phone service provider in connection with your use of 3DS.
5.12 A Transaction is deemed to be authorised by you, when you or your Account
Manager or Partner Platform:
5.12.1 enters the security information on the Modulr Online Portal to confirm
a Transaction is authorised, or when it is instructed via the Modulr API with
the relevant security credentials;
5.12.2 when you or your Account Manager or Partner Platform submits a request
for a creation of a Virtual Card via the Online Portal or Modulr API, you
shall be deemed to have authorised any subsequent Virtual Card Transaction
made using such Virtual Card up to the authorisation value specified when
creating the request for creation of the Virtual Card;
5.12.3 when you or the Cardholder (i) enter a PIN or provide any other
security credentials; (ii) sign a sales voucher; (iii) provide the Physical
Card details and/or provide any other details as requested; (iv) wave/swipe
the Physical Card over a card reader; or (v) insert the Physical Card into a
card device or an ATM;

of a Payment Initiation Service Provider).

in those circumstances set out in paragraph 5.13 below.
5.13 You can cancel any Transaction which is agreed to take place on a date
later than the date you authorised it, provided that you give us notice to
cancel no later than close of business on the Business Day before the
Transaction was due to take place.
5.14 Cancelling a recurring Card Transaction with us will not cancel the
agreement with the organisation you are paying. It is your responsibility to
tell the organisation collecting the payment about the changes to your
instructions.
5.15 If for any reason whatsoever, a negative balance arises because a
Transaction is completed when there are not enough funds on your Account for
that Transaction, you shall reimburse the negative balance amount immediately,
unless circumstances described in sections 5.16 and 5.17 apply. You agree that
once we make this negative balance known to you, we will charge you the amount
of negative balance and you must repay it immediately. We may set-off the
amount of the negative balance against any funds on your Account, including
any subsequently loaded funds. Until we are reimbursed this negative balance
amount, we may arrange for your Account, including Card(s) to be suspended. We
may also report the negative balance to credit reference agencies.
5.16 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of a
Merchant where the Card Transaction occurred, we will seek to recover the
negative balance amount from the Merchant.
5.17 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of the
recipient of the payment or us, we will seek to recover the negative balance
amount from the person who made the error.
5.18 The Available Balance on your Account will not earn any interest.
5.19 You can check the balance and Transaction history of your Account at any
time via the interface provided to you by the Partner Platform or by

Account and/or Card, you must inform us immediately by contacting Customer
Services. After you notify us, we will replace a lost, stolen or
misappropriated Physical Card and/or security credentials, as appropriate.

executed Transactions, provided at all times that you have notified us without
undue delay of becoming aware of such incorrectly executed or unauthorised
Transaction and in any case within the timeframes required by the Card Scheme

funds, we are required to provide sufficient details about you and the
incorrect payment to the bank or institution that sent the payment to enable
them to recover the funds.

Conditions in relation to the safety of your Account and/or Card; or

necessary for us to determine if this is correct; and
9.6.3 you asked for a refund within 8 weeks of the date the Transaction was
debited to your Account.
In such circumstances we will refund you within 10 Business Days of receiving
