PART 1 – TRANSACTION FEES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Fees

1.1 The following fees are payable by you to us under these Transaction Terms.

Fee Type Amount
Service Fee You agree to pay us the Service Fee amount which we disclose to you prior to you giving us an Instruction. The Service Fee is payable in addition to the Amount each time you give us an Instruction.
Credit Card Payment Processing Fee You agree to pay us a credit card payment processing fee, which is a % of each New Zealand dollar amount that is debited to your Payment Instrument by us under these Transaction Terms when that Payment Instrument is a credit card. We tell you this % amount prior to you giving us an Instruction. This credit card payment processing fee is payable in addition to the Amount each time you give us an Instruction. The services of Payment Service Providers may also be used to provide our Services. You agree to pay the reasonable fees and charges of Payment Services Providers required for us to provide you with the Services.
Third Party Fees If prior notification and agreement can be included (as with Service Fees and Credit Card processing fees), then the reasonableness requirement can be removed. Remitly will not be liable for any amount deducted by, or payable to, a Payment Service Provider involved in carrying out a Transaction. Fees and charges imposed by Payment Service Providers may be deducted from the amounts transferred to the Recipient. If this occurs, this means that the Recipient will receive less than the Amount.
Insufficient Fund Fee If your financial institution charges us a fee as a result of you having insufficient funds available through your Payment Instrument to debit the Amount and any fees and charges in relation to a Transaction or otherwise payable under these Transaction Terms, you agree to reimburse us for the amount of that fee.
Chargeback Fee If you authorise us to debit a Payment Instrument that you do not have authority to use or you challenge a legitimate Transaction with your financial institution, and as a result we are charged a chargeback fee by the financial institution associated with the Payment Instrument, you agree to reimburse us for the amount of that fee.
Card Payment Authorisation Fee If your nominated Payment Instrument for the Transaction is a credit or debit card, you agree to pay us a small fee of $0.01 to allow us to authorise your card payment to us. This fee is temporary and will be refunded once your card has been authorised.

1.2 Unless stated otherwise, we will debit these fees to your nominated Payment Instrument for the Transaction or any other Payment Instrument saved to your Profile. Where it is not possible to debit a Payment Instrument, we will deduct these fees directly from the Amount. With the exception of the Service Fee, the Credit Card Payment Processing Fee and the Card Payment Authorisation Fee, all fees are non-refundable.

1.3 Clause 1 is a continuing obligation and continues after termination of these Transaction Terms.
