3. HOW TO BEGIN USING OUR SERVICES

3.1 First, create a Profile. To use our Services, you must create a profile where we will store certain information about you (a Profile).

  1. agree to this Agreement,

  2. be at least 18 years old,

  3. live in the UK,

  4. provide us with complete, accurate and truthful information about you and how you will use our Services (including documents we may reasonably need),

  6. complete eligibility requirements or other actions that we, our or your Service Providers (defined below) may need to allow you to access and use the Services, and

    3.2 Next, access the Portal. After you create your Profile, you can access a personalised portal on our website or Mobile App (the Portal). Please be aware that the Portal is a tool that you can send money through and is not an account (such as a bank or payment account). You will not be able to store any form of money or funds (like e-money) on the Portal.

    3.3 Then, provide your Payment Instrument. A payment instrument is, for example, a bank account, a credit or debit card, or a mobile application to make payments. You must allow us access to the payment instrument that you want to use with our Services (your Payment Instrument). We will also use your Payment Instrument to charge you if you owe us fees for using the Services.

    3.4 Payment Instrument requirements. In addition to other requirements described below, you must be the authorised and lawful user of each Payment Instrument on your Profile, and all Payment Instruments must not be expired. You authorise us to verify your Payment Instrument is in good standing by submitting a test payment request for a low value amount and carrying out checks with your card issuer. We will follow your card issuer and any payment scheme rules when completing test payments and will refund you any test payment amounts.

4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR SERVICES

4.1 Use our Services only for yourself. You are allowed to create only one Profile for your own use, and we may limit the number of email addresses and Payment Instruments that are associated with your Profile. You must not create a Profile or use our Services for another person.

4.2 No business purposes. Our Services are only available to consumers, which means individuals who use our Services for personal reasons, and not for their business and profession. You must not use our Services for any business-related purposes, otherwise we may stop you from using our Services without any further responsibility to you.

4.3 Information you share. All information you provide us must be accurate, complete and up to date. This also means you must notify us and update your Profile if your information changes in the future. If you move outside of the UK, you may need to accept a different Remitly User Agreement for your new location and some of our Services may not be available.

4.4 Your Service Providers. To use our Services, you may need to enter into agreements with third party service providers (Service Providers), such as your Payment Instrument issuer, internet service provider, mobile device manufacturer and network operator who provide you your Equipment.

For more information about this, please see the Specially Designated Nationals list and Non-cooperative Countries and Territories list on the UK government website.

5. USING OUR SERVICES SAFELY

5.1 Authenticating your Profile and Portal. You may need to follow instructions to authenticate and successfully log in to your Profile or Portal. This might be confirming your email address and password so we can be sure you are providing us an instruction or logging in to your Profile, rather than someone else.

5.2 Your security responsibilities. We use different security measures to make sure that your information is safe and protected. However, you also have the following security responsibilities:

  1. make sure your Profile and Portal are not misused,

  2. keep your Equipment and Security Credentials safe,

  3. follow any security instructions we tell you about,

  4. make sure the information you share to use the Services doesn't contain viruses, malware or other harmful information, and

  5. don't use our Services on Equipment that has been changed against the manufacturer's guidelines.

    5.3 Fingerprint access. We may allow you to scan your fingerprint on your Equipment to access the Services (for example, "TouchID"). If this functionality is available to you and you want to do this, you must download the Mobile App on your Equipment and allow the Mobile App to scan your fingerprint. You should make sure that only your fingerprint is registered on your Equipment to prevent accidental and unauthorised payments from another person.

    5.4 Suspending the Services. We may need to suspend access to the Services to:

  6. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes,

  7. update the Services to reflect changes in laws or regulatory requirements,

  8. make other changes to the Services which we have notified you about, or

  9. carry out maintenance which we will try to notify you about in advance.

We are not responsible for any financial losses you may suffer if our Services are unavailable because of these reasons.

5.5 Restricted activities. When using our Services, there will be certain activities that are not allowed because they might compromise the security and safe use of our Services for other Remitly users. These restricted activities, and actions we can take if you engage in a restricted activity, will be described in the additional terms and conditions that apply to a particular Service. For example, you can find a list of restricted activities within the Transaction Terms that apply if you use our money transfer service.

6. PAYING FOR OUR SERVICES

6.1 Our Service Fee. Depending on which Services you use, we may charge a service fee (Service Fee) for a particular Service. We will let you know if a Service Fee applies and how much it is before you use the Service, so you can decide whether to continue.

6.2 How you can pay us. We will charge your Payment Instrument for the Service Fee, additional amounts relevant to the Service you are using and which we notify you about in advance and any other fees owed to us which we have notified you about in advance. Payment Instruments must be:

  1. a debit or credit card and will tell you the brands we accept in advance (Card Funded Payments), or

  2. a bank transfer using the UK "Faster Payments" scheme (Bank Funded Payments).

    6.3 Card Funded Payments. If you choose Card Funded Payments, you authorise us to charge your Card Funded Payment method to make a payment to us.

    6.4 Bank Funded Payments. If you choose Bank Funded Payments, you must follow the instructions we provide you to make that payment. You can also choose to use either of the following features:

  3. Easy Bank Transfer - where our open banking partners (such as TrueLayer) are authorised to provide you access to your accounts with other providers and make payments from them to us. If you choose to use this feature, you must enter your account access details accurately to successfully make a payment to us and comply with any terms and conditions you agreed to with our open banking partners to use their services.

  4. Manual Bank Transfer - where your Bank Funded Payment must have the same name as your Profile name and originate from a UK bank or building society account. You must also:

    1. transfer money to us electronically using the UK Faster Payments scheme (more information found at http://www.fasterpayments.org.uk/). Please check with your bank or building society to confirm they make Faster Payment payments before you initiate a payment to us,
    2. complete the Bank Funded Payment in time so that we receive payment within the timeframe we notify to you, and
    3. enter the same payment details we provide you to make a Bank Funded Payment (such as our bank account sort code, account number, the exact payment amount and reference numbers). If you provide us with incorrect payment details, your money may not be recoverable and we are not liable for any of your losses. Please be careful when inputting payment details.

    6.5 Taxes. You agree to comply with applicable tax laws when using the Services, including any reporting obligations and paying taxes that become due when you use our Services.

    6.6 Consequences for incorrect payments. If you do not follow the above requirements when making a payment to us, we may immediately stop or suspend you from using our Services without notifying you in advance. We may also refund your Bank Funded Payment, however this may not be possible.

    6.7 Other fees you may owe us. If we are charged any fees because of an issue relating to your Payment Instrument, you agree to pay us the amount we are charged immediately after we notify you about the fee. These fees could arise because there are not enough funds in your bank account to pay the fees you owe us, or from a "chargeback fee" where a card user makes a claim to their bank that a payment on their card was illegitimate, and the card issuer then brings a claim against Remitly for being involved.

    6.8 No extra fees for the Portal. We will not charge you additional fees for accessing the Portal in a particular way, such as on the Mobile App.

    6.9 You're responsible for Service Provider fees. Your Service Providers may charge you additional fees when you use our Services. For example, some credit card issuers may charge you additional fees and interest because they treat using your credit card for some of our Services as a "cash advance". You are solely responsible for all fees charged by your Service Providers in connection with your use of our Services.

2.1 Other agreements that apply to you. You previously agreed to our User Agreement when you first created your Remitly Profile (as defined below). The terms and conditions in that User Agreement also apply to your use of Money Transfers in addition to the terms contained in these Terms. If you want to participate in our referral programme, additional terms and conditions will also apply to you and are part of these Terms.

2.2 Your Remitly account. You will have created a Remitly profile where we will store certain information about you to allow you to use Money Transfers (your Profile). You can then access your personalised portal on our website or Mobile App (the Portal) where you can make Money Transfers. Please be aware that the Portal is a tool that you can send money through and is not an account (such as a bank or payment account). You will not be able to store any form of money or funds (like e-money) on the Portal.

2.3 Your Payment Instrument. A Payment Instrument can be your bank account, credit or debit card, or mobile application to make payments in order to use Money Transfers. You must allow us access to the Payment Instrument that you want to use for Money Transfers and have provided details for on your Profile.

2.4 Your Money Transfers history. You can view details of current and completed Transactions and other information about your historical use of Money Transfers by logging into your Profile.

3. How to use Money Transfers

3.1 Where you can use Money Transfers. All countries and regions to which you can make Money Transfers are listed on our website and mobile application (our Mobile App). We recommend that you make Money Transfers to your friends and family only and think carefully before sending money to strangers. It is also very important that you do not make a Money Transfer on behalf of someone else, or for any commercial purposes (such as buying an item or a service from a business) or to donate to a charitable organisation.

3.2 The Money Transfer process. When you make a Money Transfer, you are the Sender and are sending money to a Recipient. You will pay us the amount you want to send to the Recipient (the Transfer Amount) plus any Service Fee we charge you (as defined further below). Your request to us to disburse the Transfer Amount to the Recipient is the Transaction. The amount that is paid out to the Recipient is the Payout, which is equivalent to the Transfer Amount in the currency you selected for the Recipient.

3.3 Trusted Recipients. We will store information you provide us about a Recipient to allow you to easily make Transactions to that Recipient in the future, and join your list of trusted Recipients. You must not make a Money Transfer to a Recipient who does something (or fails to do something) that would violate a material part of these Terms.

3.4 How to start a Transaction. In order to initiate a Transaction, at the Transaction summary stage you must click"Send Money" or "Pay".

3.5 Accepting your Transaction. Because Transactions are a request from you to us to process a Money Transfer, we can accept or reject a Transaction for any reason. However, we generally only reject a Transaction for a good reason, such as if you violate your obligations under these Terms. A Transaction is considered valid if you provide us with all current, accurate and complete information we request about yourself, your use of Money Transfers and have paid us correct amounts and fees for the Money Transfer. If you provide incorrect information, we are not responsible for any losses caused by the incorrect information.

3.6 Processing the Transaction. We will process valid Transactions on a Business Day as soon as possible. A Business Day is any day (except for Saturday, Sunday and holidays) when banks in the United Kingdom are open to the public for business. We will try to inform you of when the Transaction should be completed (which may be within hours of us receiving a Transaction, and is usually no later than the end of the following Business Day). You authorise us to charge your Payment Instrument to process the Transaction, which you can revoke at any time by removing the Payment Instrument from your Profile. If the payment initially fails, you authorise us to try one or more times using the same Payment Instrument.

3.7 What your Recipient may need to do. Recipients may need to prove their identities to the Financial Institution before they can receive a Payout. They can do this by showing valid identification and the reference number or other identifier for the Transaction, however this will depend on what the Recipient's Financial Institution needs. We will try to notify you about what information the Recipient will need to provide through our Services.

3.8 When a Transaction is considered complete. Your Recipient may need to complete identity checks with their local bank or other third party outlet (a Financial Institution), before they can claim their Payout. Once a Financial Institution receives the Payout, they are usually required to make it available to the Recipient immediately once they are open for business. Depending on how you want your Recipient to receive the Payout, a Transaction is considered complete once the following happens:

  1. Bank deposit - your Recipient's bank account is credited with the Payout.

  2. Mobile money - your Recipient's mobile wallet is credited with the Payout.

  3. Cash pickup - your Recipient collects the cash Payout.

  4. Cash delivery - the cash Payout is delivered to your Recipient.

    3.9 How to cancel a Transaction. You can cancel a Transaction at any time before it is completed by contacting us and providing us with information to help us identify the Transaction you want to cancel (such as the Transfer Amount and location of the Recipient). If the Transaction has not been completed, we will try to refund you the Transfer Amount and Service Fee for the Transaction within 3 Business Days of your request to cancel. However, a refund may take longer depending on the processing times of banks and other parties involved in the refund process. Please be aware that we may need to first confirm with the Financial Institution that the Transaction was not completed before we can provide you a refund, and you will not receive a refund if a Transaction has already been completed.

    3.10 How you will receive a refund. All refunds will be credited to the same Payment Instrument used to pay for the Transaction and in the same currency you paid us. Refunds will not be adjusted if there was a change in the value of the currency from the time you submitted the Transaction. If your Payment Instrument is no longer valid and we are unable to find a mutually acceptable solution to refund you, we will not be required to refund you.

4. Restricted Activities

4.1 Restricted Activities. When using Money Transfers, there are certain activities that are not allowed because they might compromise the security and safe use of Money Transfers for other Remitly users. These are called Restricted Activities which you must not engage in, and are listed below:

  1. Using Money Transfers for illegal purposes, such as fraud, funding terrorism or money laundering.

  2. Using Money Transfers in connection with sexually oriented materials or services, gambling activities, or buying or selling tobacco, tobacco-related products, firearms, prescription drugs or other controlled substances.

  3. Abusing, exploiting or bypassing service usage restrictions we put in place.

  4. Making Money Transfers on behalf of someone else.

  5. Violating a material part of these Terms or other agreement between us.

  6. Creating an unacceptable risk of liability, credit or fraud to us or other Remitly users.

  7. Providing false, incomplete or misleading information that is important to your use of Money Transfers.

  8. Failing to cooperate in an investigation related to your use of Money Transfers (including if we think you may have engaged in a Restricted Activity).

  9. Trying to obtain more funds than you are entitled to during a dispute between you and us, or providing yourself with a cash advance from your credit card.

  10. Having a Profile that is linked to another Profile that has engaged in a Restricted Activity.

  11. Accessing Money Transfers from outside of the UK or using an anonymising proxy or other tool which makes your use of the internet untraceable.
    l2. Using a robot, spider, scraper, automatic device or manual process to monitor or copy our website or Mobile App.

    4.2 Consequences for Restricted Activities. If we suspect you have or are about to engage in a Restricted Activity or used Money Transfers in an unauthorised or fraudulent way, or if we believe that the security of your use of Money Transfers may be compromised, we can take any of the following actions:

  12. Close or suspend your Profile, Portal (through the website, Mobile App or both) or your use of Money Transfers and stop you from using Money Transfers or our other services in the future.

  13. Delay, reverse, modify, cancel, decline or refuse to process a Transaction (and allow other payment service providers to do the same).

  14. Report relevant information (including your personal data) about you and your use of Money Transfers to a regulator or governmental or law enforcement agency.

  15. Claim monetary damages from you, if appropriate.

    4.3 Notifying you in advance. We will usually tell you in advance if we need to take any actions described above. However, we may need to act without notifying you first if there is a security concern or if it would be considered "tipping-off" under law. We will lift restrictions on your use of Money Transfers or allow you to re-register for them as soon as possible after the reasons for placing the restrictions no longer apply.

    4.4 Your right to complain. If we do take any actions listed above, you always have the right to complain about our decisions. You can do this informally by contacting us, or by making a claim against us as described in your User Agreement.

5. Other rules and risks

5.1 Currency conversion and exchange rates. We provide Money Transfers in certain currencies. If the currency you choose when submitting a Transaction is different to the Recipient's currency, an exchange rate is applied to the Transaction and includes a small margin, which we keep. Our website and/or Mobile App will describe what currency is available to your Recipient and what exchange rate will apply, which you can check and agree to before you submit a Transaction. You will also be notified about this in the Transaction confirmation notice.

5.2 Information about Financial Institutions. We try to provide current information on our website about the location, availability and hours of Financial Institutions. However, this information might be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date if a Financial Institution changed it without us knowing. We are not responsible for inaccurate or incomplete information posted on our website.

5.3 Additional rules for EEA Transactions. There are special rules that apply to Money Transfers to Recipients in the European Economic Area (the EEA) in Euro currency, which are:

  1. Transactions in Euro to Recipients in the EEA – the Recipient's Financial Institution will receive the Payout by the end of the next Business Day after we receive a valid Transaction, and
  2. Transactions made in other currencies to Recipients in the EEA – the Recipient's Financial Institution will receive the Payout by the end of the fourth Business Day after we receive a valid Transaction.

A Transaction is considered received by us the same Business Day if you submit it before 5 p.m. UK time.

5.4 Our rights to limit Money Transfers. We may refuse to process a Transaction if we believe it is necessary to protect you or us, or if we are required to do so by law or regulatory requirements. We may also create new practices and limitations for Money Transfers, such as limiting the total amount of a Transfer Amount, either for all Remitly users or for a specific Profile. We will decide whether to implement any limits by assessing factors such as:

  1. our risk assessment of your Profile,
  2. an indication that your Profile or Portal have been compromised,
  3. your or a Recipient's location,
  4. the information you provide us and our ability to verify it, and
  5. legal requirements we have to follow.

5.5 How we protect your money. Remitly isn't a bank, it's a digital financial services provider. To help send your money safely and quickly around the world, Remitly works with trusted partners and is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for UK customers. This means that, while your money is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), we're required to protect it at all times. We protect your money by following safeguarding rules — so even in the unlikely event of Remitly becoming insolvent, or if we stop trading, you will get your money back. We maintain a banking instrument given by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., acting through its London Branch, to ensure your money is returned to you in the unlikely event that we become insolvent.

6. How we'll handle issues

6.1 If you give us incorrect information. If you do not provide us with correct, accurate and complete information as described above:

  1. we may not be able to allow you to change details about a Transaction after it is submitted but you can cancel a Transaction any time before it is completed,

  2. the Transfer Amount may go to someone else and it may not be possible to get it back from them,

  3. we will try to refund you the Transfer Amount but this is not guaranteed and we may need to charge you an additional fee for recovery, and

  4. we are not liable to you for any losses you might suffer from that Transaction.

    6.2 Tell us if there's a problem with a Transaction. If you think a Transaction is unauthorised or was executed incorrectly, you must tell us within 13 months of the date we notified you that the Payout was available for the Recipient. If you do not notify us within this timeframe, we may not be able to assist you or issue a refund. When you contact us about this issue, please provide us with:

  5. your name and email address,

  6. a description of the problem with the Transaction and why you think it is a problem,

  7. the name of your Recipient and, if you know, their telephone number or address,

  8. the Transaction amount, and

  9. the reference number for the Transaction which is on the receipt we provided you when we processed the Transaction.

    6.3 Correcting errors with Transactions. We will review this information within 90 days of receiving it and decide whether an error occurred. If we decide an error happened, we will quickly fix it and inform you of the results within 3 Business Days. If your concern is about an unauthorised Transaction, then we will investigate it and, if necessary, issue you a refund as soon as we can. If we decide there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You can ask us for copies of the documents we used in our investigation.

    6.4 Refunds for unauthorised Transactions. If an unauthorised Transaction is made because of our mistake, we will refund you the Transfer Amount and Service Fee. However, this refund is not available if you:

  10. should have been aware of the loss, theft or unauthorised use of your Profile or Portal in which case you must pay the first GBP 35 of the unauthorised Transaction. However, you will not need to pay this if the unauthorised Transaction was caused by our (or a third party acting on our behalf) actions or failure to act, or processed after you notified us that your Profile may have been compromised,

  11. act fraudulently, or

  12. act with intent or gross negligence by failing to notify us without unnecessary delay about a security issue with your Profile or Portal. In that situation, you are responsible for losses you incur until the date you notified us.

    6.5 What we are not responsible for. We are not responsible for losses you suffer (including providing you a refund) that are not our fault, or happen because:

    1. of an issue with our disbursement partner that provides the Payout to your Recipient, or
    2. we cannot process a Transaction because you provided us with incorrect information.

    6.6 Why a Transaction might be delayed. A Transaction might not be completed if:

  13. you do not have enough cleared funds, which means funds that are not pending, are available for use with no restrictions from your Payment Instrument and are settled via the applicable payment network scheme,

  14. we need to verify your identity, find out more about your use of our Services, carry out fraud checks, validate your Payment Instrument, or it is necessary to comply with laws and manage our financial risk. We will not continue with a Transaction until we are comfortable that these matters have been completed, or

  15. a Financial Institution needs to complete their own customer identity checks on the Recipient.

    6.7 What happens to uncollected Payouts. We will cancel cash collection Payouts if they are not validly collected by the Recipient within 60 days of when they became available. If it is possible, we will refund the Transfer Amount to the Payment Instrument you used for the Transaction, however our payment processing partners may require additional conditions to do so.

    6.8 Tracing a Transaction. If you sent money to a Recipient in the EEA and need to track the Transaction, you can request us to trace it and we will update you on the Transaction status. Additionally, if a Recipient receives a Payout later than expected, contact us and we can request information from the Recipient's Financial Institution to correct the Transaction.

7. Paying for Money Transfers

7.1 Our Service Fee. We will charge you an additional fee (our Service Fee) for the Transaction unless we notify you that it will not apply. We will tell you how much the Service Fee is before you consent to us executing the Transaction, so you can decide if you want to continue with the Transaction or not. If you agree, you will need to pay the Service Fee plus the Transfer Amount once you submit the Transaction.

7.2 How you can pay us. We will charge your Payment Instrument for the Transfer Amount plus the Service Fee when you submit a Transaction to us.

7.3 Consequences for incorrect payments**. If you have provided us with incorrect information about your Payment Instrument, or if there are not enough funds to collect the full amount of the Transfer Amount plus the Service Fee, we may do any of the following without notifying you in advance:

  1. cancel or delay your Transaction,
  2. refund your Payment Instrument (however this may not be possible), and
  3. immediately stop or suspend you from using Money Transfers.

8. Other important terms

8.1 Terms that will still apply. Any sections of these Terms that are necessary to enforce the purpose of these Terms after they have ended, will continue to remain in effect after these Terms end.

8.2 Governing law and where to bring legal proceedings. These Terms and any dispute or claim connected to it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree that, depending on where you live, either the courts in England and Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claims.
