3.2 You do not need to register for a Personal Account in order to visit most areas of our Platform. However, to use the Services and access the restricted areas of our Platform you will need to register and set up Personal Account with us.

3.3 Although Swipe International is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, we are not regulated in the same way as a bank. As an electronic money institution, we hold your money in secure safeguarded bank accounts. Safeguarding segregates your funds from our own by placing your funds in a separate account. This protects your funds and ensures your funds can only be used to complete the payment as instructed, or should that be impossible, the funds are returned to the original payer.

3.4 We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the Services to you, but you should bear in mind that your payments do not carry the benefit of any interest and that our Services do not have the benefit of any government-backed insurance, guarantee or compensation scheme (for example, no compensation is available from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if we are unable to meet our liabilities) and the relationship of Swipe with you is not that of a bank or trustee.

4. Making Outbound Transactions

4.1 Our Services allow you to make Outbound Transaction to any of the countries in which we operate.

4.4 It is solely your responsibility to make sure all the Payment Instruction details are accurate before submission. Providing inaccurate details will cause delays in processing your Outbound Transaction or can lead to your Outbound Transaction failing.

4.5 Before you can submit a Payment Instruction, we will confirm the amount of any associated fees that we will charge for the Outbound Transaction (the "Transaction Fee") (the basis on which the Transaction Fee is calculated is set out in the Fee Schedule) and a unique transaction identification number will be generated. The Transaction Fee will be deducted directly from your Personal Account.

4.6 Before you can submit a foreign exchange Payment Instruction, in addition to the Transaction Fee we will also provide you with the foreign exchange conversion rate that will be applied to your Transaction Amount as per Clause 10 below.

4.7 Once you confirm the foreign exchange conversion, the Platform will allow you to submit your Payment Instruction to us. Once you submit the Payment Instruction you will be deemed to have authorised this Outbound Transaction and have authorised us to execute it.

4.8 Once a Payment Instruction has been submitted, we are not able to change or cancel the transaction other than under your instructions as per Clause 4.9 or the circumstances listed in Clause 6.1 below.

4.9 You may withdraw a Payment Instruction only if the Outbound Transaction is approved for a future date (for example, if you set up a regular payment) by confirming this through the Platform by the end of the Business Day before the transaction is due to be made. We may charge you a fee for withdrawing a Payment Instruction, the details of this fee will be set out in the Fee Schedule.

4.10 If you submit your Payment Instruction on a Business Day before 4pm we will process your Payment Instruction on that day. If you make the request on a non-Business Day or after 4pm, we’ll process your Payment Instruction on the next Business Day.

4.11 If we have agreed to make the Outbound Transaction on a future date,

4.11.1 when the future date is a Business Day, we will process your Payment Instruction on the day you’ve agreed with us;

4.12 The Transaction Amount will reach the Recipient’s payment service provider in accordance with the following table.

4.13 You acknowledge and agree that Swipe is only responsible for ensuring that the Transaction amounts reach the Recipient’s payment service provider in accordance with the timings set out in Clause 4.12 above. We cannot be held liable for any delay in onward payment by the Recipient’s payment service provider to the Recipient.

16.2 Verification and Checks

We will verify your residential address and personal data in order to confirm your identity. We may also pass your personal data to a credit reference agency, which may keep a record of that information. This is done only to confirm your identity, we do not perform credit checks and therefore your credit rating will be unaffected. We may also need to verify the identity of a Recipient in the same way. All information provided by you is treated securely and strictly in accordance with all Applicable Laws. We may do this directly, for example by asking you for additional information, or asking you to take steps to confirm ownership of your accounts, Payment Instruments or email address; or indirectly, for example by verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.

16.3 Provision of payment services

16.3.1 You explicitly consent to us accessing, processing and retaining your personal data for the purposes of providing the payment services described in the Agreement. We need your explicit consent as a result of certain rules which apply to us (the United Kingdom's Electronic Money Regulations 2011 and Payment Services Regulations 2017). This consent does not relate to how we process your personal data for other purposes, which are explained in our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy can be found here: https://globalpayments.theswipecompany.com/.

16.3.2 In order to provide the Services to you, Swipe works with suppliers, partners and correspondent banking service providers. We normally share your personal data with:

(a) suppliers who provide us with IT, payment and card delivery services which includes Blackthorn Finance Ltd, our platform provider and Partner, and Blackthorn Cards Services Limited;

(b) our banking and financial-services partners and payments networks, including Visa and Mastercard, in order to help us provide our services to you - this

includes banking and lending partners, banking intermediaries and international payment-service providers;

(c) analytics providers and search information providers, to help us improve the Platform;

(d) customer-service providers, survey providers and developers, to help us to provide our services to you; and

(e) communications services providers, to help us send you emails, push notifications and text messages.

16.4 Fraud Prevention

16.4.1 The personal data we have collected from you will be shared with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance, or employment. Further details of how your information will be used by us and these fraud prevention agencies, and your data protection rights, can be found here: http://www.cifas.org.uk/fpn.

16.4.2 Details of the personal data that will be processed include, for example: name and address, date of birth, contact details, financial information, employment details and device identifiers including IP address.

16.4.3 We and fraud prevention agencies may also enable law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal data to detect, investigate and prevent crime.

16.4.4 Fraud prevention agencies can hold your personal data for different periods of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud or money laundering risk, your data can be held for up to six years.

16.4.5 As part of the processing of your personal data, decisions may be made by automated means. This means we may automatically decide that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk if our processing reveals your behaviour to be consistent with money laundering or known fraudulent conduct, or is inconsistent with your previous submissions, or you appear to have deliberately hidden your true identity. You have rights in relation to automated decision making. If you want to know more please contact us using the details set out in Clause 19 below.

16.4.6 A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud prevention agencies, and may result in others refusing to provide services, financing or employment to you. If you have any questions about this, please contact us using the details set out in Clause 19 below.

16.4.7 Fraud prevention agencies may allow the transfer of your personal data outside of the UK. This may be to a country where the UK government has decided that your data will be protected to UK standards, but if the transfer is to another type of country, then the fraud prevention agencies will ensure your data continues to be protected by ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place.

16.5 We may use information about you and your individual representatives to discharge the responsibilities referred to in Clauses 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 and 16.4 above to provide the Services and to manage our relationship with you. We may disclose this information to Senders, Recipients and intermediaries in the course of providing the Services or as required by Regulation EC 1781/2006 on information on the payer accompanying transfers of funds; persons with whom we share information for anti-money-laundering, security verification or validation purposes; regulatory and prosecuting authorities; service providers acting on our behalf. This may involve transfer of information to countries which do not have data protection laws as strict as those in the UK.

16.6 Individuals wishing to access or correct the information that we hold about them can do so by contacting our Data Protection Officer at Swipe International Ltd, Kemp House, 160 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX.
