In applying to open an Account, you are deemed to represent and warrant to us that your Institution is in full compliance with the requirements of applicable tax legislation and that each person with access to the Account or Card is 18 years old or more and resident in the UK.

is easily associated with the Cardholder, such as his telephone number or birth date; or

is identical to a previously selected PIN.

5.5 You are responsible for all the Cards issued and the use of your Account by all Cardholders under this Agreement and any fees or charges that these Cards may incur. You will ensure that each Cardholder uses their Card in accordance with this Agreement.

6. Using the card and card expiry

6.1 The Card can be used at any Merchant to make purchases in-store, via the internet or over the phone and can be used to obtain cash through ATMs (fees may apply; see the fee schedule in the ANNA App and the Website). Each transaction will need to be authorised by the Cardholder. We will treat the transactions as authorised and genuine if:

the Card is tapped against a Contactless enabled reader and accepted by such reader;
the Card PIN or other security code personal to the Cardholder is used and, where prompted by ANNA, authenticated by the Cardholder through 3DS; or
the Card is used and the Cardholder has authorised the transaction by signature of the receipt.

6.2 The Card is a debit card. The Available Balance will be reduced by the full amount of each transaction and authorisation, plus any applicable taxes and charges, including additional ATM charges, if any. The Cardholder must not use the Card if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance or any applicable Account Sub-Limit.

6.3 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all of the transactions that are made by the Cardholder. There are some circumstances where Merchants may require the Cardholder to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the transaction he wishes to make. The Cardholder will only be charged for the actual and final value of the transaction they make. Merchants request this as they may need to access more funds than the Cardholder initially planned to spend. For example:

hotels, rental cars, and
internet Merchants – certain internet Merchant sites will, on registration or at checkout stage, send a request for payment authorisation to verify if funds are available. This will temporarily impact the Available Balance. Please bear in mind that many sites will not deduct payment until goods are dispatched so please be aware of this when checking the Available Balance to make sure sufficient funds are available to cover all purchases. For card-based payment transactions where you do not know the exact amount of the payment transaction at the time you authorise it, we will not block funds on your Card unless you authorise the exact amount to be blocked. This could be the case for payments you make at hotels for example. We shall release any blocked funds without undue delay as soon as we are aware of the exact amount of the payment transaction and immediately after receipt of the relevant payment order.

6.4 The Card can be used in situations where it is not possible to obtain online authorisation up to a limit that is set for the Card by us. This includes, but is not limited to, transactions on trains, ships, and some inflight purchases. You must consider these offline authorised transactions when reviewing and calculating your Available Balance.
6.5 Generally, the Card may be used at automated fuel dispensers (AFD) but please note that due to the inherent security risk payment may be declined pursuant to paragraphs 6.3 or 7.9.
6.6 The Card must not be used as a form of identification.
6.7 The Card must not be used for any Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose.
6.8 We may ask you to surrender any Cards or suspend any Virtual Cards at any time for a valid reason in accordance with the provisions in paragraph 15 of this Agreement.
6.9 If a Merchant agrees to give a refund for a purchase made using the Card, the funds will be added to the Available Balance of the Account when we receive the funds from the Merchant, provided always that any refunds to the Card shall only be permitted in respect of purchases made with the Card.
6.10 The Card can be used to make transactions in a currency other than GBP ("foreign currency transaction"), the amount deducted from your Account will be converted to pounds sterling on the day we receive details of that foreign currency transaction. We will use a rate set by Mastercard, which will be available on each Business Day and changes in the exchange rate shall take effect immediately. Exchange rates can fluctuate and they may change between the time a transaction is made and the time it is deducted from your Available Balance. You can find out the exchange rate applied to a transaction in your transaction history. We charge an additional 1% foreign transaction fee for foreign currency transactions and details of any such fees are available in the ANNA App. Unless we tell you otherwise, our terms and conditions will apply equally to payment transactions inside and outside the EEA. You will not be able to pay charges for anyone you make a payment to within the EEA (regardless of the currency of the transfer).
6.11 If a refund is given to you, in accordance with paragraph 6.9, of a foreign currency transaction, or your Account is credited for any other reason in a currency other than pounds sterling, the amount credited to your Account will be converted from the currency of the transaction to pounds sterling on the day we receive the funds from the retailer, who has agreed to the refund, or from the sender of the money. The amount credited to your Account will be calculated in accordance with the exchange rate set by Mastercard and applicable on that day.
6.12 If a transaction is cancelled after the relevant Payment Instruction has been made but before the funds are debited from the Account, such funds could remain unavailable until the Merchant confirms the cancellation of the Payment Instruction, which could be up to 8 days. We may make the funds available earlier if you contact us and provide evidence of the cancelled transaction.
6.13 The expiry date of the Card is printed on the front of the Card. The Cardholder will not be able to use their Card once it expires. We may send the Cardholder a replacement Card or renew a Virtual Card if requested by the Cardholder (fees may apply, see paragraph 12).
6.14 Any Available Balance remaining on the Account at Card expiry will remain yours for a period of six years from the expiry date. Within this period, you may at any time transfer any Available Balance on the Account to a UK bank account via Faster Payment (subject to Account Limits). You will not have any access to your Account and we will not return any funds remaining on the Account after six years from Card expiry and this Agreement will terminate.
6.15 You must keep secure at all times and not share or let anyone access your Card, Account details, Account security information, your device that was used to access your Account or other information that could be used to make a transaction or otherwise exploit your Account.
6.16 To protect you and others, we will monitor your Account for fraud, money laundering, criminal use, Prohibited Activity, Prohibited Purpose and activities giving rise to a security concern.

7. Using the account

7.1 The Account can be used to enjoy the services referred to in the ANNA App, such as Faster Payments and Direct Debits (subject to Account Limits). We may from time to time introduce new services such as Standing Orders and/or Future Dated Payments; if we do that, we will explain this in the ANNA App or otherwise let you know. Some of the terms and conditions in this Agreement may be relevant to those new services, which will apply once we offer those services to you.
7.2 If the Automatic Payment on the Account specifies that a payment is to take place on a specified day or on the last day of a certain period, then we will treat the Payment Instruction as being received on the day specified. Where a Direct Debit mandate duly authorised by you is submitted to ANNA by post we will process it upon receipt; however, we cannot guarantee that it will be received in a timely manner.
7.3 If a payment is made using Faster Payments, we will, except as stated in this Agreement, endeavour to send the payment within two hours, provided that the payment is within your Account Limits and there is sufficient Available Balance. However, some payments may take up to the end of the following Business Day to arrive in the recipient’s account, such as where the payment is of a very high amount, or where it is subject to internal compliance checks by ANNA, or due to restrictions at the recipient’s bank.

7.4 We will not be responsible for any cost, loss or damage that arises or is incurred as a result of any:

payments taking longer than two hours to be sent by us, provided that we send them in time for them to arrive by the end of the following Business Day (and subject to b) below);
delays in payments arriving at the recipient’s bank account once they have been sent by us (as we cannot control payments once they have left us);
delays in payments arriving in your Account, except where they arrive after the end of the Business Day following that on which they were sent and we are at fault; and/or
delays in sending or receiving payments beyond our control.

Where we become aware of any unforeseen payment delays, we will investigate these and provide you with an update as soon as possible.

7.5 Any Automatic Payment is usually taken from the Account on the day they are due except Direct Debit payments which if due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday are usually taken on the next Business Day. If a Direct Debit on your Account specifies that a payment is to take place on a specified day or on the last day of a certain period, then we will treat the Payment Instruction as being received on the day specified.
7.6 It is your responsibility to ensure they put in the correct recipient account details and payment amount when making any payment, setting up payee or authorising an Automatic Payment. We are not liable if you incorrectly input the recipient’s account details in respect of any payment. If you give us the wrong details for a payment or you tell us about an incorrect payment more than 13 months after it was made, we won’t give you a refund but we will try and trace it for you. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our costs in doing this.

7.7 It is your responsibility to check there is sufficient Available Balance before any payment is due. Generally, payments will be rejected if there are insufficient funds in your Account. However, the Account may be overdrawn beyond the Account Limit or Account Sub-Limit for the following reasons:

offline transactions as further described in paragraph 6.4;
payment at an automated fuel dispenser (AFD) as further described in paragraph 6.5;
transactions in foreign currencies as further described in paragraph 6.10; or
transactions authorised through a Mastercard stand-in when it is not possible to confirm availability of funds with us.

In these cases, you must immediately pay off the balance in accordance with paragraph 7.14.

7.8 We will treat a payment as authorised by you and genuine if:

the transaction was authorised from the Self Service Account Management Portal, and, where prompted by ANNA, authenticated by the Cardholder through 3DS; or
an Automatic Payments was set up.

7.9 Except as explained in paragraph 7.7, a payment including any Automatic Payment will not be sent out if:

the Account does not have sufficient Available Balance to cover the payment; or
the Account is suspended or closed; or
the Account has reached its Account Limits; or
the Cardholder authorising the Payment Instruction has reached any Account Sub-Limit;
the Cardholders have collectively reached the Account Limit even if not all Account Sub-Limits have been reached;
upon being prompted by ANNA, the Cardholder has failed to authenticate the payment or Payment Instruction through 3DS;
we suspect the payment is connected with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose; or
the Merchant declined the payment for its own compliance reasons which may be unknown to ANNA.

7.10 We may, but shall not be obliged to, let you know if a payment is not sent because of a reason referred to in paragraph 7.9 above. We will not be liable to inform you or the recipient of any payment not made because of a reason referred to in paragraph 7.9 and will not be liable for any loss that may be incurred as a result.

7.11 You must authorise the organisation taking Direct Debit payments from the Account, and you are responsible for cancelling any obsolete Direct Debits. You may be able to stop a Direct Debit payment provided that:

you cancel the relevant Direct Debit mandate more than three Business Days before your Account is due to be debited (your Account could still be debited during this cancellation period, in which case you will have to contact the recipient / Merchant in order to claim a refund);
the relevant Direct Debit payment has not already been made; and
you provide all the details requested on the Self Service Account Management Portal to stop the payment.

We recommend that the recipient is also informed; we will not be responsible if you fail to inform them and neither you nor the recipient will have any claim against us.
7.14 If, for any reason, a payment is processed for an amount greater than the Available Balance on your Account, you must repay us the amount by which the Full Deductible Amount exceeds your Available Balance immediately after receiving notification from us. Should you not repay this amount immediately after receiving notification from us we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action, to recover any monies outstanding.
7.15 The Account can receive funds via Faster Payments and BACS Credit. Please note we do not support CHAPS. Subject to paragraph 7.16, we will credit the Account when we receive the funds which could be up to three Business Days depending on how the payment was sent.

7.16 A payment coming into the Account will be not credited to your Account if:

the Account has reached the Account Maximum Balance or Account Limits; or
the Account is suspended or closed; or
the sender has provided incorrect/invalid Account Details for your Account; or
we suspect the payment is in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose.

7.17 The funds may be sent back to the sender without notifying you if paragraph 7.16 applies. Please note this will only apply to Faster Payments in and BACS Credit.
7.18 The Account may receive High Value Payments subject to a number of checks. You must inform us prior to receiving a High Value Payment, allowing us enough time to conduct required checks. You agree to provide all the information and documents requested by us to carry out our checks.
7.19 Once an approval has been granted for receiving a High Value Payment into the Account, the Account will have a new Account Limit applied for a specified timeframe.
7.20 Each time the Account is due to receive a High Value Payment then paragraphs 7.18 and 7.19 apply every time. For example, we may request a number of documents and/or information and conduct our checks every time you tell us that the Account is due to receive High Value Payment.
7.21 You may transfer funds between Accounts if you have more than one Account.
7.22 The Available Balance on the Account will not earn any interest.
7.23 If, for any reason, a payment made to a recipient within the EEA arrives later than intended, you may request us to contact the receiving bank or institution and ask them to treat this payment so that the credit value date matches that of the intended date of receipt of the payment.
7.24 You can choose to allow a Third Party Provider (TPP) to access information on your account, to combine and display information about your account with information from accounts you have with other payment service providers, and, if applicable to your Card, to make payments for you from your account, provided the TPP is authorised by a Regulator and you have given your explicit consent. If you do so, you must keep us informed of any incorrect of unauthorised transactions that happen so that we can take steps to stop further misuse of your Card and arrange any refund to which you are entitled. If you are thinking of using a TPP, it is important you check with the Regulator whether the TPP is authorised before you use it. We can refuse or stop access to a TPP if we are concerned it is not authorised or if we believe it is operating or acting in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose. If that happens, we will contact you to explain why unless we believe that would compromise our security or it would be unlawful.

Invoicing service

7.27 You may use ANNA’s invoicing functionality subject to the following conditions:

ANNA’s invoicing functionality is subject to our Customer Agreement and fair use;
if you sign up, you can customise your own payment page with your invoice, brand features and payment facilities supported by TrueLayer from time to time;
your payment page can be generic or tailored for a specific payer (e.g. your customer). You can forward the URL to your payer;

we may suspend without notice any payment page if we suspect unauthorised use of our service or use in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose, in addition to any suspension rights that TrueLayer may have in accordance with its own terms;
unless you participate in a free trial that offers unlimited payments, a monthly payment limit set out in the pricing section of our Website will apply. Your first month runs from the day of the first payment received by you through our invoicing service and the limit refreshes in each subsequent month;
if your previous transaction exceeded the payment limit in a month, any further payments will be blocked. However, we will offer you the option to receive further payments in that month, in return for a commission set out in the pricing section of our Website in respect of such further payments. The commission is a percentage of the total payment amounts received in a month after the transaction that exceeded the monthly payment limit that month;
if you decline, no further payments will be accepted in the relevant month. However, we may notify you about attempted payments during the remainder of the month, and once again offer you the option to receive further payments that month in exchange for the commission outlined above. If you accept, further payments will be accepted. We will report the commission owed each month and charge it on your next Account fee due date.

7.28 Cashback will be provided on the following conditions:

The availability of Cashback will be announced on the Website and/or the ANNA App together with information about the Cashback rate and a description of all eligible transactions, and the percentage of eligible transactions to be paid as Cashback. Eligible transactions will only include purchases valued at £1.00 or over with certain Merchants (as described on the Website from time to time). Any unauthorised transactions, Account fees and charges, interest payments or other excluded transactions will not be eligible for Cashback.
The Cashback will be calculated on each eligible transaction identified on your Account statement. Each Cashback payment will be rounded up to the nearest penny. The maximum Cashback you can receive in each calendar month is £100.
The Cashback amount in respect of a transaction will be reduced proportionately to any refund from the Merchant.
Cashback in respect of each month will be added up and will in general credited to your Account one month in arrears. At the same time, any reduction in Cashback due to a refund will be debited. If you close your Account before the statement date you will lose any Cashback not yet credited.
We may withhold Cashback due to Account Limits or if your Account is blocked by ANNA on the basis of its risk management policies.
A Cashback offer will generally continue until the end of the period announced on the Website and/or the ANNA App. Nevertheless, we may cancel any Cashback offer or amend Cashback terms at any time by giving you at least 30 days’ notice by e-mail (using the latest e-mail address you have provided to us).

7.29 Referral program

An Account Owner (a “Referrer” in this case) may invite someone (a “Referee”) to open an account with ANNA so they become an Account Owner, too – then both the Referrer and the Referee get a reward (“Reward”) in the form stated in the pricing section of our Website. Usually, the reward is 1 month of free service at ANNA, which means not paying the monthly account fee, but we may change it at some occasions.
To invite a Referee, each Account Owner has their own unique referral code available in the ANNA App, along with a unique page on our Website. The Account Owner can share that page or code with someone they wish to invite, and the invitee must use either the code or the page while signing up for ANNA in order to be counted as a Referee.
The Referral Program may be restricted in time, but if not stated otherwise, it’s always available to all Account Owners.
There are no limits to how many Referees an Account Owner can invite. However, there are conditions a Referee needs to meet to be qualified for the Reward.
The Reward is provided to both the Account Owner and the qualified Referee at the moment the Referee is qualified.

7.30 Referral program restrictions:

Referrers cannot refer themselves.
An Account Owner cannot use any system, bot or other device to participate or receive any benefit in the Referral Program. This includes but is not limited to a general prohibition on posting of the referral codes on any website which offers the referral code to anyone other than individuals who an Account Owner personally knows.
If we believe that a referral code associated with an account was used in such a manner, we have the right to refuse and cancel the Rewards associated with that account and close the accounts of both the Referrer and the Referee.

7.31 Receiving and using a Barcode

ANNA provides a facility (the “Cash-Loading Facility”) through which you can add cash to your Account at any one of hundreds of Agents, who are typically merchants that display the PayPoint logo.
If you wish to use the Cash Loading Facility, a Barcode will be delivered to you by ANNA directly via the ANNA App once you have sufficiently answered the relevant KYB questions.
Once the Barcode has been delivered via the ANNA App, you may present the Barcode, along with the cash amount you wish to add to your Account, to an Agent at an Agent Outlet who will use a Terminal to scan the Barcode and register the transaction. The Agent will send a top-up request to ANNA, in the amount of cash presented to the Agent, who will then add the associated cash value to your Account.
Once the transaction has been effected by the Agent, you will receive a notification via the ANNA App immediately. The cash value will be added to your Account approximately 10 minutes after the transaction has been effected, subject to paragraph 7.32 below.

7.32 You may use the Cash Loading Facility subject to the following conditions:

You must keep secure at all times and not share or let anyone access your Barcode or otherwise exploit your Account. You may not use your Barcode or the Cash Loading Facility to receive payments directly from your clients or customers; only you may use the Cash Loading Facility to add cash to your Account.
The Barcode must not be used for any Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose.
We may restrict access to your Account or suspend the Barcode at any time if we suspect any of the activities set out in paragraph 6.16 or for any other important reason.
Charges and top-up limits will apply to each transaction as outlined on the Website. In particular, each transaction made using the Cash Loading Facility must be no less than £1 and no more than £500.
The value of the cash used during a transaction effected by an Agent will not be credited to your Account if the Account has reached the Account Maximum Balance or Account Limits; or the Account is suspended or closed; or we suspect the payment is in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose.
Neither we nor ANNA will be responsible for any cost, loss or damage that arises or is incurred as a result of any delays in receiving payments beyond our control.
If you close your Account in accordance with paragraph 9 of this Agreement, the Barcode will become inactive. The Terminal will not accept your Barcode after you close your Account.

ANNA Credit Line

7.33 ANNA Credit Line is a facility provided by SteadyPay to certain ANNA Account Holders whereby SteadyPay may credit your ANNA Account with funds made available to you under the facility. You will discharge any obligations and fees due under the facility to SteadyPay from the Available Balance of your ANNA Account.

SteadyPay is authorised by the FCA with reference number 789333 to provide certain consumer credit activities (including entering into credit agreements as lender). ANNA is an authorised representative of SteadyPay for introducing purposes only. ANNA is not providing consumer credit activities and is not a credit lender or broker. You hereby accept that ANNA has no liability to you in relation to the provision of the credit facilities to you by SteadyPay.

If you are approved by SteadyPay for ANNA Credit Line, your Mastercard Premium Business Card can be used for both: regular transactions from account, or card transaction with in-flight funding of account using pre-approved credit limit prior to the transaction completion
SteadyPay will credit your ANNA Account, on your behalf, with amounts drawn under the credit facility. ANNA will exchange these amounts for e-money and your Available Balance will increase by such amount. At no point will ANNA be providing credit to you or to your ANNA Account.
On demand from SteadyPay, you authorise ANNA to deduct any amounts from your ANNA Account that are due to SteadyPay in accordance with your agreement with SteadyPay.

8.1 You can check the Available Balance and transaction history on the Account via the Self Service Account Management Portal, or the ANNA App, or at an ATM.
8.2 A Cardholder can check the Available Balance through the ANNA App. You may limit a Cardholder’s ability to see the Available Balance such that the Cardholder may only see the amount remaining in relation to the Account Sub-Limit for that Cardholder, rather than the overall Available Balance; and/or that the Cardholder may only see the history of their own transactions, rather than all transactions on the Account.
8.3 We will make your monthly Account statements available in the statement section of the ANNA App and we will notify you of this monthly in the ANNA App or via email.
8.4 You will ensure that each Cardholder is aware that his or her transactions may be reviewed by others.

9.2 You may close your Account at any time after the cancellation period and redeem any Available Balance on the Account by messaging Customer Services through the Self Service Account Management Portal. Alternatively, you may at any time transfer any Available Balance to a UK bank account via Faster Payments (subject to Account Limits) and call Customer Services to close the Account. Unless previously provided, we will seek instructions from you regarding the Available Balance before closing your Account.

9.4 All Direct Debit transactions that were set up on the Account will be rejected once your Account is closed.
9.5 If we find any additional withdrawals, fees or charges have been incurred on your Account following the processing of the redemption request, we will send an itemised invoice or notification to you and we will require you to refund us immediately after receiving the invoice or notification. Should you not repay this amount immediately after receiving an invoice or notification from us we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action, to recover any monies outstanding.
9.6 You will ensure that each Cardholder is aware that their Card will be blocked and access to the Account through the ANNA App will cease upon cancellation or closure of the Account.

10.1 You are responsible for the use of your Account and any Cards issued for your Account. You must ensure that all the users of your Account including any Cardholders and Account Users understand and comply with this Agreement.
10.2 We may restrict or refuse to authorise any use of your Account and any Cards issued to your Account including transactions in any legal jurisdiction if using the Card or Account is causing or could cause a breach of this Agreement or if we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that either you, a Cardholder or a third party has committed or is about to commit a crime or other abuse in connection with the Card or Account.
10.3 Where appropriate, any refusal to authorise a Card transaction will be relayed to the Cardholder via the Merchant concerned.
10.4 It is your responsibility to ensure the Cardholder signs their Card as soon as they receive it, and keeps it safe.

10.5 You will be liable for all unauthorised transactions that arise from the use of a lost or stolen or otherwise accessed or misappropriated Card or Account security information or the device used to access the Account if you or any Cardholder fails to:

keep the Card and/or security features of the Card, Account, Account security information or device used to access the Account safe, or
notify us that the Card is lost or stolen, or that the image of a Virtual Card has been copied, or that the Account security information or your device have been otherwise accessed or misappropriated.

10.6 You must ensure the Cardholder and/or any representative of the Account Owner does not:

allow another person to use a Card, PIN or security information related to the Account;
write down password(s), PIN or any security information or copy a Virtual Card unless this is done in a way that would make it impossible for anyone else to recognise any of that information;
disclose their PIN or any security information, or a copy of the Virtual Card or otherwise make them available to any other person, whether verbally or by entering them in a way that allows them to be observed by others;
enter the PIN in any ATM that does not look genuine, has been modified, has a suspicious device attached or is operating in a suspicious manner; and
you must ensure that each Account User does not disclose any security information, or otherwise make them available to any other person, whether verbally or by entering them in a way that allows them to be observed by others.

10.8 You will be liable for all unauthorised transactions that arise from the use of a lost or stolen or otherwise accessed or misappropriated Card or Account security information or the device used to access the Account if you or any Cardholder fails to:

notify us that the Card is lost or stolen, or that the image of a Virtual Card has been copied, or that the Account security information or your device have been otherwise accessed or misappropriated.
10.9 It is your responsibility to keep us updated of changes to the Information, including e-mail address and mobile numbers. Failure to do so may result in us being unable to contact you regarding your Account, including the provision of refunds to which you might be entitled or to let you know about changes to this Agreement or to authenticate payments or Payment Instructions through 3DS.
10.10 You agree to indemnify and hold harmless, us and our distributors, partners, agents, sponsors, and service providers and their group companies from and against the costs of any legal action taken to enforce this Agreement and/or any breach of this Agreement or use of the Card, Account, Self Service Account Management Portal log in details, or PIN by or authorised by either you or any Cardholder, which is in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose.
10.11 The Self Service Account Management Portal is only supported on devices where the operating system has not been modified, or jailbroken, or configured to allow software installation from sources other than those approved by ANNA (including but not limited to the Apple App Store and Google Play). Use of the Self Service Account Management Portal on such a device is at your risk and neither Payrnet or ANNA shall be held responsible for any loss or data, Information or financial loss.

11. Lost, stolen or damaged cards

11.1 In the event of loss, theft, fraud or any other risk of an unauthorised use of the Card, or if the Card is damaged or malfunctions, you must ensure that the Cardholder:

uses the Self Service Account Management Portal immediately to either report his Card as lost, stolen or copied and block it through the customer care chat or blocks his Card by using the ‘Block Card’ button in the Self Service Account Management Portal; or
contacts Customer Services on 0203 393 8688 so that we can block the Card, Account and PIN.

11.2 In the event that the Cardholder either blocks their Card or notifies us in accordance with this Agreement that his Card has been lost or stolen you will be liable for a maximum of £35 of any loss that takes place prior to us being notified, subject to paragraphs 11.3 and 11.4. You will not be liable for any losses which occur on your Card after you have informed us that it has been lost or stolen. If you are due a refund for an unauthorised transaction, we will make sure that you receive this no later than the end of the next business day.
11.3 Provided that the Cardholder has followed one of the steps in accordance with paragraph 11.1 and that paragraph 11.4 does not apply, then you will not be liable for losses that take place following the date on which the Cardholder blocked its Card or informed Customer Services. If there is an Available Balance remaining on your Account, the Cardholder can request for a replacement Card for your Account via the Self Service Account Management Portal. If we replace the Card, the Card will be delivered to the Account Owner’s registered office or director’s home address (or, respect of other Cardholders, such other address as selected and verified by you) and a Virtual Card will be delivered through the App (fees apply, see paragraph 12).
11.4 In the event that we have reason to believe that either you or the Cardholder have acted in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose, or have acted with gross negligence or intentionally in failing to notify us of the lost, stolen or copied Card or the Cardholder has failed to keep their Card or security information related to the Account safe or you or the Cardholder have breached this Agreement then you shall be liable for all losses.

12. Fees

12.1 Your Account is subject to the fees set out in the fee schedule in the ANNA App and on the Website. Standard pricing will no longer be available and higher bespoke pricing will apply if you exceed our balance, volume, risk or other thresholds in which case additional charges will apply.
12.2 If you require higher limits, please contact us about a bespoke pricing plan.
12.3 We will not charge a business account monthly fee if you don’t have any transactional activity and don’t use other ANNA services in that calendar month. However, accounts without any transactional activity (excluding monthly fee charges) for 12 consecutive calendar months will start to be charged a monthly inactivity fee of £20.00 per month (“Inactivity fee”). We will stop charging the Inactivity fee if a transaction other than the application of the inactivity fee occurs on the account.

13. Disputes and incorrect transactions

13.1 If you have a reason to believe that a transaction (whether a normal payment or an Automatic Payment) on your Account was not authorised by either you or a Cardholder, or was made incorrectly, you must inform us immediately via the Self Service Account Management Portal, but in any event within thirteen months of the date of the relevant transaction. If you tell us about an incorrect payment more than thirteen months after it was made, we won’t give you a refund but we will try and trace it for you. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our costs in doing this.

13.2 If you dispute a Card transaction:

the Merchant must be able to prove that the transaction took place.
subject to paragraph 13.2(c) below, we will no later than the end of the next business day after you notify us refund the amount to your Account to restore it to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised transaction had not taken place. We will have no further liability to you. You will be required to complete and return to us a ‘Disputed Transactions’ form within ten days of our request. We may also request you to provide any additional information about the relevant transaction. If we subsequently discover that you were not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the transaction, including any charges to your Account. Fees apply; see the fee schedule in the ANNA App and the Website.
if there are reasonable grounds for thinking that you may not be entitled to a refund (based on the evidence available to us at the time you report the unauthorised transaction), we may investigate before giving you a refund and we shall not be obliged to give you a refund if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are not entitled to a refund.

13.3 Subject to paragraph 13.4, if you tell us that a transaction has been made incorrectly, after we are informed, we will:

In the case of an outbound payment:

immediately refund your Account with sufficient funds including any charges to restore your Account to the same position as if the incorrect transaction had not been made;
if you ask us to, make reasonable efforts to trace the incorrect payment and notify you of the results.

In the case of an inbound payment:

if an incorrect transaction amount is paid into your Account that should not have been paid, we will, where possible, immediately send the funds back to the bank acting for the person from whose account the transaction was made. However, in the case that you do not believe that a payment made to you from a payment service provider in the EEA was a mistake, we shall also be allowed to share your personal information (including information about Cardholders which is directly relevant to the transaction) with the paying payment service provider so that you can be contacted directly. This is because we are required to cooperate with other payment service providers and share all relevant information in order to assist with tracing money which is sent to the wrong person.
if we have paid money into your Account in error, we will deduct the money from your Account promptly upon becoming aware of the mistake. We will notify you of the mistake and of the amount which has been deducted from your Account, which may be after we have deducted the money. If you have used or withdrawn the money from your Account, you must make a payment to ANNA of the full amount transferred to your Account in error, immediately or as soon as we make you aware of the mistake.
if monies transferred to your Account by us in error are not repaid by you and remain outstanding, we may deduct the money from other Accounts which you have with ANNA.

13.4 The actions listed in paragraph 13.3 are at our absolute discretion and we are not responsible for an incorrect transaction on your Account where you fail to tell us of the incorrect transaction without undue delay and in any case within thirteen months of the date on which the transaction occurred, or the cause of the incorrect transaction is because you gave us the wrong or insufficient Payment Details for us to make the transaction.

13.5 You will be liable for all transactions made from your Account(s):

if you or any Cardholder have acted in connection with a Prohibited Activity or Prohibited Purpose; or
if the transaction was made because the Cardholder deliberately or with gross negligence failed to keep their Card or Card details secure or their PIN or other security information related to the Account secret or otherwise shared, made available or failed to prevent access to the Card, Account, security information or device used to access the Account.

13.6 Where you or the Cardholder have agreed that another person can take a payment (Card or Direct Debit) from your Account (for example, if the Cardholder has given their Card details to a Merchant for the purpose of making a payment), you can ask us to refund a payment if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

the authorisation given did not specify the exact amount to be paid;
the amount that has been charged to your Account was more than you or the Cardholder could reasonably have expected to pay, based on the circumstances, including previous spending patterns; and
you make the refund request within eight weeks of the date when the payment was taken from your Account.

13.7 We may ask you to provide information as is reasonably necessary to verify that conditions in paragraphs 13.6 (a) – 13.6 (c) apply.

13.8 If you ask us to make a refund under paragraph 13.6 then, within ten Business Days of the date we receive your request (or if we ask for more information under paragraph 13.7, within ten Business Days of the date we receive that information) we will either:

refund the payment in full; or
tell you the reasons why we do not agree to the refund.

13.9 You will not be entitled to a refund under paragraph 13.6 if:

if the payment in question was higher than you reasonably expected to pay due to a change in currency exchange rates; or
if you or a Cardholder have given us your consent for the payment to be made and, where applicable, we (or the person or a Merchant you agreed to pay) have given you information on the payment in question at least four weeks before the due date of the payment.

13.10 Paragraph 13.9 does not limit your rights under the Direct Debit guarantee scheme.

14. Variation

14.1 Subject to the other provisions in this paragraph 14, we may change this Agreement, including fees and limits, by providing you with at least two months prior notice by e-mail (using the latest e-mail address you have provided to us) and will ensure the most recent version is always available in the Document Centre on the Self Service Account Management Portal.
