You must be in New Zealand, be over 13 years old and have a New Zealand mobile phone account and New Zealand bank account to use Dosh. We will conduct customer due diligence on you in accordance with New Zealand laws using Cloud Check.

Dosh is an app that helps you spend, save and borrow. You agree to comply with all terms and conditions in these user terms. You also agree to comply with the following additional policies and each of the other agreements posted on www.dosh.nz that apply to you.

We may revise these user terms and any of the policies listed above from time to time. The revised versions will be effective at the time we post them on this website, unless otherwise noted.

1.1 Privacy
Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy in order to better understand our commitment to maintaining your privacy, as well as our use and disclosure of your information.

1.2 Cloud based
​Dosh is a cloud based application, hosted on Microsoft Azure servers in Australia (NSW / QLD).

1.3 Dosh is only a payment service provider
​We act as a payment service provider only. We do not:

(a) act as an escrow agent with respect to any money sent to you on Dosh that has not been
transferred;

(b) enter into a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship with you;

(c) guarantee the identity of any user or merchant.

2.1 General
​Dosh offers a range of account types, including;
‍
Everyday account : Your Everyday account is opened upon successful registration with Dosh. The Dosh Visa Debit Card is linked to this account. No interest is paid on your Everyday account. To continue your relationship with Dosh you must keep your Everyday account open. Deactivating your Dosh account will close all accounts with Dosh, including your Everyday account. You need to move funds from your everyday account to your nominated bank account before closing.
‍
Stash account : A Stash account can be opened in app for managing your money. No interest is paid on balances in your Stash account.
‍
Strive account : A Strive account can be opened in app for setting and growing your savings towards a goal. Interest is paid on Strive balances where you continue to hold an active Everyday account.
‍
You may only have one personal Everyday account, and up to 20 Strive or Stash accounts.
​
Loan Account: Apply for a loan and have the balance and repayments managed through Dosh.

2.2 Adding money to your account:

(a) Dosh uses bank transfer and a reputable third-party payments provider to ensure that adding money to a Dosh Everyday account is seamless and secure. Dosh has no visibility of your account username or password with such third-party payments provider simply sending confirmation once payments are made. A set fee applies when making a third party payment.

(b) The current third-party payments provider is Windcave. By accepting these user terms you also accept Windcave’s terms, found at https://www.windcave.com/merchant-ecommerce-account2account-terms as updated from time to time (Third-Party Payments Provider Terms).

(c) Dosh is not liable to you in connection with your use of such third-party payments provider’s website, systems, or its content.

(d) You will be directly liable to third-party payments provider under the Third-Party Payments Provider Terms if you are in breach of those terms.

(e) For direct bank transfer you will be directly liable to your nominated bank’s terms if you are in breach of your bank’s terms.

(f) Bank transfer authorisation is between you and your bank; normal banking transfer timings occur (not instant).

(g) You may request, and Dosh may supply your own Dosh Bank Account number for wage or salary payments into your Dosh account. If you send money to this account not related to wages or salaries, Dosh may return these funds to the sender account. Dosh Bank Account numbers are provided by a registered bank in New Zealand.

2.3 Holding Money in Your Dosh Account

(a) Dosh holds your money on bare trust with registered banks in New Zealand. At all times the money in your Dosh account(s) is kept separate from the money Dosh uses to run its business.

(b) Dosh holds money on your behalf until you instruct us to either:
(i) transfer money to a seller or other third party using Dosh or the Dosh Debit Card; or
(ii) transfer money from your account into a nominated bank account (subject to certain
terms set out below).

(c) Your money may be held in a pooled account along with the money of other Dosh customers.

(d) No interest will be payable to you in relation to your money in your Everyday account or Stash accounts. All interest earned by Dosh on balances held in these accounts will remain our property.

(e) We may hold payments for longer periods at our reasonable discretion, such as to minimise fraud risk, where necessary due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, or to await the conclusion of a dispute.

(f) In the event that Dosh decides at our discretion to return funds in your accounts, the monies will be returned to the bank account from which the funds arrived at Dosh. Any funds we are unable to repay will be dealt with in accordance with applicable law.

(g) For clarity, no money is held on your Dosh Visa Debit Card as the Dosh Visa Debit Card only draws funds from your Dosh Everyday account.

2.4 Your Dosh Visa Debit Card

(a) Your Dosh Visa Debit Card draws funds from your Dosh Everyday account and can be used like a debit card to pay for items in store and online.

(b) You can order your Dosh Visa Debit Card through the Dosh app. Each Dosh account may only have one active Dosh Visa Debit Card. Your first Dosh Visa Debit Card is complimentary.

(c) Upon confirmation of your in-app order, your personalised Dosh Visa Debit Card will be sent to you via post. Follow the instructions in the app to activate your Dosh Visa Debit Card.

(d) To protect yourself against card fraud you must safeguard your Dosh Visa Debit Card and PIN:
(i) do not write your PIN down anywhere. Memorise it instead;
(ii) never tell anyone your PIN;
(iii) make sure no-one can see you enter your PIN at ATMs or when using EFTPOS, or see your Dosh Visa Debit Card details when shopping online;
(iv) consider using a different PIN for different cards;
(v) take care of your Dosh Visa Debit Card. Do not leave your Dosh Visa Debit Card in an unattended vehicle, wallet or purse or anywhere where a thief could remove a card without being noticed;
(vi) do not let anyone else use your Dosh Visa Debit Card; and
(vii) tell us if you change your address, so replacement cards are sent to the correct place.

(e) You must contact us immediately on becoming aware your Dosh Visa Debit Card is lost or stolen, if your Dosh Visa Debit Card is in the possession of another person, or your Dosh Visa Debit Card, or PIN, is misused (or you think it may be).

(f) At your request, we will send you a replacement Dosh Visa Debit Card. A $15 replacement fee may apply.

2.5 Strive accounts

(a) You can open one or more Strive accounts in the app by selecting the + option on the Dosh home screen.

(b) To get your Strive savings underway, you’ll need to add money to your Everyday account, and then transfer the amount of money you choose to your Strive account.

(c) Once you have opened your Strive account you can make as many deposits and withdrawals as you like. There are currently no deposit, withdrawal, transaction or account fees.

(d) Dosh receives a rate of interest from a bank, and pays you a portion of this interest as the rate you earn. The commission retained by Dosh is the difference between the rate of interest you earn and the rate of interest we receive from the bank. The maximum commission earned by Dosh is 1% per annum.

(e) Interest is calculated on your daily balance and paid in a single payment on the first calendar day of each month. We advertise the rate of interest that is current on the day on our Website (www.Dosh.nz) and in the Dosh app, however this rate may go up or down at any time and without notice.

(f) You can close a Strive account at any time. Any balance must be transferred from the account before closing. Any interest paid to a Strive account that is closed will be directed to your Everyday account.

(g) Interest will only be paid to active Dosh accounts with a valid IRD number as verified by the IRD. Everyday accounts that are closed or suspended will not be paid interest.

(h) You will need to pay tax on the Interest you earn from your Strive account(s). You are responsible for your own tax obligations. You confirm that any tax details provided to Dosh are correct and must inform Dosh if your tax details change. You may not be paid your interest if the IRD number you have provided is incorrect.

(i) Dosh will pay Resident Withholding Tax on the interest you earn from your Strive account(s) each month. We withhold this from the interest you earn each month and pay it directly to Inland Revenue. We will also tell Inland Revenue how much money you earned each month. This information will then appear in your myIR account.

(j) If you are a tax resident of another country, or US tax resident, you will not be able to open a Strive account due to your tax residence status. You will need to let us know if you move overseas as this may impact on our ability to provide the Strive product to you. It may also have tax implications for you.

2.6 Closing your Dosh Accounts:

(a) You may close your account and terminate your relationship with us at any time by closing your account in the Dosh app (More > App Settings > Close my account). You must transfer any money from your Dosh account and repay any loan before closing it.

(b) You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Dosh account even after your account is closed.

(c) In certain cases, you may not close your Dosh account, including:
(i) To evade an investigation.
(ii) If you have an open dispute or claim.
(iii) If you owe amounts to us.
(iv) You have money owing on a loan.

(e) You should cut your Dosh Visa Debit Card up and dispose of it carefully so that it cannot be used by anyone else.

(d) You can ‘lock’ or ‘limit’ transactions or apply a temporary lock on your Dosh Visa Debit Card at any time through the app. You can also set a limit per transaction on your Dosh Card and update or remove the limit, by updating your Dosh Visa Debit Card settings in the Dosh app. If you choose to apply a temporary lock and lock all transactions made by your Dosh Visa Debit Card, you should be aware that a temporary lock does not report your Dosh Visa Debit Card to us as being lost or stolen.

(e) Closing and reopening a Dosh Everyday account within a 30-day period is not permitted. If you close your Dosh Everyday account, and attempt to reopen a new Dosh Everyday account within a 30-day period, this is in breach of our Terms and Conditions, and will result in your account being suspended, pending investigation.

2.7 Dosh balances

Dosh does not permit negative balances on Everyday, Stash or Strive accounts.

3.1 Personal Payments‍

(a) You can send money to, or request money from, another person with a Dosh account (sometimes called “peer-to-peer/P2P payments”).

3.4 Taxes

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, or that are marked as for goods and services, and it is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate authority. Dosh is not responsible for determining whether any taxes apply to your transaction, or for calculating, collecting, reporting or remitting taxes arising from any transaction.

(a) We review payments you make at our discretion. When we identify a potentially high-risk payment to a merchant, we review the transaction more closely before allowing it to proceed. See clause 14 for our rights in relation to holding certain transactions.

(b) On certain transactions Dosh may offer cash back paid to directly into your account. Cashback is payable where advised in the Dosh Deals section of the app, under terms described in each deal.

(c) Dosh reserves the right to not pay cashback where you do not make the transaction with your Dosh Visa Debit Card, or our affiliate partner does not recognise the transaction as complete, or the directions set out in the deal are not followed correctly.

You will be notified of loan fees as part of the loan contract with Avanti. Dosh may also earn a commission from Avanti for promoting Avanti loans.

(j) If your loan application is declined by Avanti, you agree that Dosh may share your application details with another third party lender for the purposes of assessing your loan application.

These Dosh Google Pay Terms and Conditions together with the Dosh Terms and Conditions govern your use of your Dosh Card (‘Card’) with Google Pay. It’s important you read this document carefully. Your Card is issued by Flexewallet NZBN 9429046405883 and its Related Bodies Corporate (‘Issuer’). The Issuer can be contacted at Level 10, 21 Queen Street, Auckland 1010 or contact@dosh,nz. In these terms and conditions any reference to ‘we’ or ‘us’ is a reference to the Issuer; ‘you’ are the Card purchaser/user of the Card.

You agree to these terms by:

adding your Dosh Card for use in Google Pay on your eligible Android Device.

These terms apply in addition to your Dosh Card Terms associated with each Card. It is important that you read these terms and the Product Disclosure Statement together.

You can add your Card to Google Pay on your eligible Android Device provided
that:

we have verified the relevant Cardholder’s identity;

the Cardholder has agreed to the Card being added to Google Pay on the relevant Cardholder’s eligible Google Device;

the balance of your card account is in good standing. Cardholders can remove the Card linked to their account from Google Pay on the Cardholder’s Android Device at any time.

Instructions to unlink your card are available on the Google Pay website and through your Android Device.

Once your Dosh Card is added to Google Pay, the Cardholder can use Google Pay to authorise transactions on an account. This is done by using the relevant Android Device in place of the Dosh Card at a contactless terminal or in an application on an Android Device. Some contactless terminals may require the Cardholder to enter the Card PIN.

Any person who can unlock your Android Device may be able to make transactions using the Dosh Card registered in Google Pay.
If a Cardholder’s Card linked to your card account is registered for Google Pay on any eligible Android Device, you are responsible for ensuring that:

only the Cardholder’s biometric identifier (and no other person’s biometric identifier) is registered;

the Google wallet is not shared with anyone and is used only by the Cardholder;

the Cardholder keeps the passcode for the Cardholder’s Android Device secure in the same way as a Cardholder would keep a banking password or PIN secure, including by:

not sharing it with anyone,

not carrying a record of it within an Android Device or with anything capable of being stolen along with an Android Device (unless a reasonable effort is made to protect the security of it);

not choosing an easily guessable passcode such as the Cardholder’s date of birth or a recognisable part of the Cardholder’s name; and

not acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the passcode.

the Cardholder keeps the Android Device safe and secure (including by locking it when not in use or when it is unattended and by installing up-to-date anti-virus software on it); and

the Cardholder removes the Dosh Card from the Cardholder’s Android Device before disposing of the Android Device.

If a Cardholder fails to comply with any of the requirements in this section 5, you are taken to have authorised that person to transact on your account using Google Pay.

This means that any Google Pay transaction initiated by that person using the Biometric Identifier, biometric information or passcode w will be authorised by you. This could result in significant loss or liability in relation to such transactions.

If another person’s Biometric Identifier is registered on your Android Device you must ensure that it is removed. If you think any other person knows the passcode for the Android Device, you must ensure that the passcode is changed by you as applicable. If a Cardholder becomes aware that another person is or may be able to access the Android Device using their biometric information, the Cardholder must use a passcode instead of a Biometric Identifier to initiate transactions using their Dosh Card on Google Pay and must remove their Biometric Identifier from the Android Device.

At any time, a Cardholder can delete or suspend their Dosh Card from Google Pay.

Please contact us immediately if:

any Android Device on which a Dosh Card linked to your card account has been added to Google Pay is lost or stolen;

the mobile service of any Android Device on which a Dosh Card linked to your card account has been added to Google Pay is suddenly disconnected without your permission (which may indicate the occurrence of mobile phone porting); or

you suspect a security breach in relation to any Android Device on which a Dosh Card linked to your card account has been added to Google Pay, or that an unauthorised person has used the passcode, Card PIN or other credentials to access Google Pay.

Based on your report, we will suspend use of your Dosh Card with Google Pay. This helps protect you as much as possible from additional loss or liability. If you have contributed to the loss by unreasonably delaying reporting to us the loss or theft of your Google Device or the unauthorised use of your account details, you may be liable for transactions for which you did not give authority incurred before the report is received by us.

Generally, subject to protections under the Law, you are liable for unauthorised transactions conducted using Google Pay.

We do not impose any additional fees and charges for registering and using your Dosh Card with Google Pay. However, you will need to pay any third-party fees and charges associated with downloading, registering and using Google Pay on a supported device (including carriage or mobile data charges).

We may block, suspend or terminate your Dosh Card in Google Pay:

if we reasonably suspect fraud;

if your Dosh Card is cancelled, blocked or suspended;

if you are in breach of these terms;

if required by applicable laws (such as anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing laws, or sanctions laws);

if directed to so by Google or by the applicable card network (for example, in circumstances of suspected fraud);

if Dosh’s arrangements with Google regarding Google Pay cease or are suspended; or

for any other reason.

More circumstances in which electronic access may be removed in relation to your Dosh Card (including through Google Pay) are set out in the Dosh Terms and Conditions.

We may collect information relating to your Android Device (including app version, device type and model, operating system and security information such as whether you have obtained root access):

to ensure that your Dosh Card properly functions in Google Pay;

for security purposes and to identify fraud;

for Dosh to better provide assistance to you; and

to tell you about other products or services that may be of interest to you.

We may also exchange information with Google and service providers:

to enable the use of your Dosh Card with Google Pay and to improve Google Pay generally; and

to detect and address suspected security breaches or fraud.

If you do not want us to collect or disclose this information as described, you should not register your Dosh Card for use with Google Pay.
Once your Dosh Card is registered to your Google Device, Google may access your personal information regarding the use of that Card through Google Pay. Please see Google’s privacy policy www.policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Pay and Google Pay Devices are provided by Google, not by Dosh nor any of its Related Bodies Corporate.

Our obligation to you in relation to the functionality of Google Pay is limited to securely supplying information to Google in order to allow the use of the Dosh Card through Google Pay.

We are not otherwise liable for the use, functionality or availability of Google Pay, any Android Device, the availability of compatible contactless terminals, or a reduced level of service caused by the failure of third-party communications and network providers.

You will need to agree to Google’s terms and conditions in order to use Google Pay.

Dosh and its Related Bodies Corporate will not be liable for any loss arising from your use of Google Pay to the extent the loss was caused by:

your fraud; or

your use of Google Pay or the Android Device in a manner not permitted by Google (for example, by obtaining root access to your Android Device); or

a reduced level of service caused by matters beyond our reasonable control (for example, those caused by third-party software and network providers).

We can change these terms by giving you notice as described below.

If we reasonably consider a change is unfavourable to you, we will give you prior notice of at least 30 days.

We may give you a shorter notice period, which may include notice on the day the change takes effect, if we reasonably consider:

the change has a neutral effect on your obligations;

the change reduces your obligations; or

providing a shorter notice period is necessary for us to:

immediately restore or maintain the security of a system or individual facility;

avoid or reduce a material increase in our credit risk or loss; or

comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

You agree that we may give you notice of the change by any notification method allowed by these terms including by letter or by electronic means as set out in Section 12 below.

Despite this clause, we will always give you notice in accordance with any applicable laws or industry, or any other terms and conditions applicable to your Dosh Card, which require any minimum notice periods or specific methods of notification.

The current terms will always be available for you to view at www.dosh.nz/google-pay

Without limiting any other means of communicating with you under the Dosh Card Terms and Conditions and associated Product Disclosure Statement, we may communicate with you by sending an SMS to your Android Device, an email to the email address you have provided to us or by writing to you at the address you have provided to us. The SMS or notice may include a link to detailed information on our website.

If any provision or part of a provision of these terms is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it will be severed from these terms and the remaining provisions (or parts of provisions) will continue in full force and effect.

These terms are governed by New Zealand Law.
