- The Customer warrants, represents and undertakes on a continuing basis that all information it supplies to MultiPass is true and correct at all times.
- If the Customer does not respond to or comply with MultiPass’ requests for identity verification or MultiPass’ other information requests, MultiPass is unable to verify the authenticity of information, data or documents provided to it or MultiPass discovers that the information it holds about the Customer or any other Relevant Person is incorrect or incomplete, then MultiPass shall be entitled to suspend, cancel or set limitations on the Customer’s Account(s) and/or Card or the Customer’s right to use the Services in general, or to refuse to execute Payment Orders on the Customer’s behalf, in each case until MultiPass can establish the correct information. MultiPass shall be entitled to charge the Customer an administration Fee to cover MultiPass administration and time costs in the event the Customer does not respond to or comply with MultiPass’ requests for identity verification or any other MultiPass information requests.
- The Customer undertakes to notify MultiPass immediately if any of the information the Customer has provided to MultiPass changes, including as to the business status of the Customer. MultiPass shall not be liable to the Customer, a Relevant Party or any other third party for any invalid, incomplete or inaccurate information the Customer has provided (or has been provided on the Customer’s behalf).
- MultiPass shall have full discretion to accept or decline any information, data or documents provided by the Customer (or on its behalf) for Identification purposes.
- The User shall be entitled to use and operate the Customer’s Account(s) including associated Cards on behalf of the Customer and enter into transactions in the name of the Customer using the Customer Money held in the Account(s). The Customer shall supply such documentary evidence as MultiPass shall require in order to demonstrate the User's authority to represent and bind, which may include, but is not limited to, articles of association, a resolution of a competent corporate body, a contract or a power of attorney.
- MultiPass may require that a Customer who is a sole trader does not use an authorized representatives in dealings with MultiPass in connection with the Services and deals with MultiPass directly on its own behalf.
Instructions to MultiPass
- The Customer shall confirm its instructions to MultiPass using the MultiPass Identity Authentication Measures in place of physical signature of documentation and the Customer agrees that all documents and processes (including Payment Orders) endorsed or authorised by the Customer using the MultiPass Identity Authentication Measures shall be binding on the Customer.
- From time to time the Customer may also be required to sign documentation in physical form.
User and User Account
- Where MultiPass approves the Customer’s application to use the Services, MultiPass shall establish a User Account for the Customer on the System. The User Account is an interface to enable the Customer to use the Services and allows the Customer (or a User acting on its behalf – see below) to open and manage individual Accounts and apply for Cards. The Customer will be required to use Identity Authentication Measures in order to do so.
- A User Account may be created for and operated by a natural person only, which shall either be the Customer (but only if the Customer is a sole trader) or the User. Only the individual for whom the User Account was created can hold and operate the User Account, i.e. only the User shall be entitled to login to User Account.
- Neither the Customer nor the User can have more than one User Account in the System. If for any reason multiple User Accounts for a Customer or a single User have been created in the System, MultiPass will notify the User and will close or merge such User Accounts leaving only one User Account operating. If MultiPass discovers that the Customer or a User have deliberately opened multiple User Accounts (whether by fraudulent means or otherwise) then, in addition to any other rights MultiPass may have, MultiPass may immediately terminate this Agreement or suspend the performance of its obligations hereunder.
Fees
- The base Fees for the Customer’s use of our Services are available on the MultiPass Website. Depending on the Customer’s risk scoring rate the Customer may be required to pay higher fees in connection with some or all Payment Transactions, and all higher Fees will be communicated to the Customer directly after the information and verification process for each Payment Order the Customer makes. In each case the Customer will be required to confirm that it is fully aware of and agrees to the Fees charged by MultiPass for the Services prior to the Customer’s confirmation of each Payment Order. Fees for currency conversion will be made available to the Customer before MultiPass processes the relevant Payment Order.
- MultiPass may change its Fees from time to time upon notification to the Customer. Save as set out below, or where the Customer has made the corporate opt-out pursuant to clause 4 of General Provisions section (in which case changes will take effect on such date as MultiPass shall stipulate) changes to the MultiPass Fees will take effect at least two months after the date on which MultiPass notifies the Customer of the change. The Customer will be deemed to have accepted the change to the Fees, unless the Customer notifies MultiPass prior to the date the changes take effect. However, if the Customer notifies MultiPass that it does not accept the changes to the Fees that will amount to the Customer’s notice to MultiPass to terminate this Agreement (in which case the sections below relating to termination will apply) and the Customer will cease to be able to use the Services with effect from the date on which the change in Fees takes effect.
- The section above does not apply to changes to interest and exchange rates where the changes to the actual interest or exchange rates arise from changes to a reference interest rate or a reference exchange rate set out in the Fees section or otherwise notified to the Customer by MultiPass, or where the change to the relevant interest or exchange rate is more favourable to the Customer.
- MultiPass shall deduct the Fees due to MultiPass for a specific Payment Transaction from the relevant Account at the execution of that Payment Transaction, either from funds the Customer has received into the Account or from funds the Customer attempts to withdraw or send from the Customer’s Account. The Fees will be indicated to the Customer before execution of the Payment Transaction (unless the rules of the specific payment instrument specifies otherwise).
- The Customer shall ensure that the funds held in the relevant Account are sufficient for deduction of the Fees and execution of the relevant Payment Transaction, otherwise MultiPass may not execute the Payment Transaction.
- MultiPass will deduct the Fees for a specific Payment Transaction in the same currency as the currency of the Payment Transaction and from the Account of the Customer which is debited or credited for the purposes of such Payment Transaction. If there are insufficient funds in such Account, MultiPass may deduct the Fees from such other Accounts of the Customer as MultiPass may choose in a different currency with applicable exchange rates.
- By default MultiPass will deduct any Monthly Fees in EUR or GBP.
- If the amount due from the Customer by way of Fees is in the currency that is different to the currency of the funds that the Customer holds in its Account, MultiPass will convert the amount that the Customer holds on its Account to the currency of the amount due from the Customer to MultiPass.
- MultiPass may freeze any amount in the Account(s) that is under dispute with the Customer or any third parties until such dispute is resolved to the satisfaction of MultiPass.
- The Customer may be liable for additional charges in connection with an executed Payment Transaction that are equivalent to the amount of charges MultiPass is required to pay on the Customer’s behalf by the recipient bank and/or its correspondent bank in relation to such executed Payment Transaction. The amount of such charges differs and is determined according to each bank's internal policies and regulations.
Opening of the Account. Customer Money.
- Where a Customer is allocated a User Account, the Customer or the User (as the case may be – see above) may use the User Account to apply to open individual Accounts on our System and otherwise use our Services.
- The opening of a particular Account by the Customer remains subject to MultiPass’ approval in each case, which may be given or withheld in MultiPass’ sole discretion.
- Each Account shall remain open until closed by the Customer or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Each Customer Account is for business use only, not for personal use and the Customer and the User attests that they are not using the Account for personal, family or household purposes. If the Customer uses an Account for personal purposes MultiPass may close the relevant Account immediately.
- MultiPass will charge an application Fee for any Customer that wishes to open an Account. The amount of such application Fee will depend on the risk profile of the Customer and MultiPass will communicate the level of the Fee to the Customer at the time of the application. The application Fee will be deducted from the initial transfer of funds by the Customer.
- Each Account will enable the Customer to transfer and hold money intended for transfers, carry out domestic and international electronic money transfers, receive money into the Account, pay for goods and services, perform other operations directly related to electronic money transfers and apply for Cards associated with such Account.
- The electronic money issued into a Customer Account(s) is issued in accordance with the UK Electronic Money Regulations 2011. The electronic money in a Customer Account belongs to the Customer as the Account holder. No other person or entity has any rights over the electronic money in a Customer Account and the Customer may not assign or transfer its Account to a third party or otherwise grant a third party any rights over the electronic money in the Account.
- All Customer Money held in a Customer Account shall be considered as the Customer's owned funds in electronic form and will not expire other than when an Account is closed (whether because the Customer closes its Account or this Agreement has terminated).
- The Customer Money held in an Account does not constitute a deposit and MultiPass will not, in any circumstances, provide any benefits (such as interest) associated with the period for which the Customer Money is held in the Account.
- When the Customer transfers funds into an Account and/or the Customer receives a payment into an Account, as soon as MultiPass receives the funds MultiPass shall place the funds into segregated safeguarding accounts held with authorised credit institutions (e.g. a UK bank or building society authorized by the FCA to accept deposits). These actions are taken to safeguard and protect the Customer Money in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
- As each Account is an electronic money account and not a bank account, the Customer acknowledges that the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the UK does not apply to any Account(s). Likewise, each Card is an electronic money product and the Customer also acknowledges that the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the UK does not apply to any Card.
Procedure to put funds into Customer Account(s)
- The Customer may put funds into Account(s) at any time by logging into the Account(s) through the User Account, following the procedure in the System and selecting a payment method in order to pay funds into the account that MultiPass shall stipulate. The Customer will also be asked to use applicable Identity Authentication Methods. Where the Customer puts funds into Account(s) MultiPass will issue the Customer with electronic money to the same value as the funds uploaded. MultiPass may charge a Fee for putting funds into Customer Account(s).
- MultiPass will the Customer electronic money as soon as possible after the Customre has put funds into its Account(s), although the actual timing may differ depending on the scheme through which the Customer has uploaded funds. Note that some payment schemes (e.g. direct debits) may be subject to reversal prior to MultiPass receiving the actual funds, and in such cases MultiPass will be entitled to deduct the reversed transaction from the balance of Customer Money in the relevant Account(s) or, if insufficient Customer Money in the relevant Account(s), require an immediate payment from the Customer to reimburse MultiPass for the negative balance and which the Customer undertakes to pay immediately on demand.
- The payment method the Customer chooses in order to put funds into its Account(s) is not a service provided by MultiPass and it is the Customer’s responsibility to select an appropriate payment method. MultiPass cannot guarantee that any payment methods will be available at any particular time, and MultiPass may add or remove payment methods over time. Often the payment methods available to the Customer will depend on the Customer’s location and the Customer Account(s) status with MultiPass.
- Where the Customer puts funds in an Account(s) MultiPass is a Payee and not a payment service provider for the purposes of applicable laws and regulation.
- So that MultiPass is able to verify the Customer’s identity for the purposes of applicable laws and regulation, the Customer shall only use a payment method where the Customer is the named account holder.
- From time to time MultiPass may apply limits on the funds the Customer is able to put into its Account(s), and this is generally for security reasons or otherwise to enable MultiPass to comply with applicable law and regulation. This may be greater than or less than the limits MultiPass applies on withdrawals from Customer Account(s).
Chargebacks on payments into the Customer Account
- Some payment methods the Customer may use to put funds into Customer Account(s) may allow the Customer to reverse (or ‘chargeback’) a transaction after the event. The Customer agrees only to exercise such rights where the Customer has not authorised a payment of funds into its Account(s) using the relevant payment method, and the Customer will not exercise any chargeback rights for other reasons, including if the Customer is in dispute with a third party or if the Customer does not have enough Customer Money in its Account(s). If MultiPass needs to spend time investigating a chargeback instructed by the Customer then MultiPass may charge the Customer a Fee for doing so.
Withdrawal of Customer Money from Account(s)
- At the Customer’s request, the Customer may at any time withdraw Customer Money held in its Account(s) (in whole or in part). The Customer may send any such withdrawal request in the form of a Payment Order for the transfer of the Customer Money from the relevant Account to any other payment account specified by the Customer or by any other means as may be allowed by MultiPass from time to time.
- For all withdrawals MultiPass will charge the Customer its regular Fee payable on a Payment Transaction and will not charge the Customer any additional Fees.
- MultiPass may require that Customer Money is withdrawn and paid to a bank or payment account held in the name of the Customer.
- If an Account is closed for any reason or there is no authorised User on such Account (or User Account), the Customer shall notify MultiPass of an appropriate payment account and MultiPass shall transfer the Customer Money held on such Account to the payment account indicated by the Customer within 3 Business Days from the date of the relevant notice to MultiPass from the Customer.
- If MultiPass fails to remit the Customer Money to the Customer at its request due to reasons beyond the control of MultiPass, the Customer shall be notified accordingly. In such instances the Customer shall immediately indicate another payment account or provide additional information necessary for remittance of the Customer Money (effecting of a payment) requested by MultiPass. If the Customer Money is not transferred from the Account because the Customer failed to provide to MultiPass details for the transfer, MultiPass will restrict access to such funds and will subsequently transfer the Customer Money to a payment account indicated by the Customer or User only subject to MultiPass’ successful Identification of such person. In such instances MultiPass shall also have the right to deduct from the Customer Money the costs incurred by MultiPass as a result of safekeeping the funds and any other documented losses.
Operation of the Account and associated Cards
- When an Account is opened for the Customer, the Account(s) will be assigned to the Customer’s User Account and MultiPass may set relevant limits for volume/ top-ups or other Payment Transactions (or associated monitoring) the Customer may make from the Account(s). Such limits may be further changed by MultiPass at its sole discretion and notified to the Customer via the User Account. Please note that if a Customer Payment Transaction exceeds the limits MultiPass sets on the Account(s), MultiPass shall be entitled to freeze the relevant Payment Transaction and request any information/documents from the Customer that may be required to verify the source of financing of such transaction and/or other documents/information to comply with mandatory law requirements. The Customer shall have the right to request that MultiPass decrease or increase the transaction limits applied to its Account(s). MultiPass will consider such requests based on the Customer’s risk profile. Any increases or decreases of the transaction limits MultiPass apply to Customer Account(s) may be permanent or temporary.
- Money in an Account may be held in multiple currencies. The Customer assumes the depreciation risk due to exchange rate fluctuations.
- When a transfer other than credit transfer SEPA is performed and the Customer makes a credit transfer from the Account to other payment accounts, MultiPass may be indicated as the Payer. However, the Payee may also be supplied with the following information, subject to the Payee's system:
- Detailed information about the Payer-Customer is given in the field of the primary Payer (if the Payee's system is supported by the relevant e-banking or payment system); or
- Detailed information about the Payer-Customer is given in the field of payment purpose.
- The Customer shall immediately notify MultiPass if it becomes aware that for any reason the Customer is not entitled to the funds held in its Account. Such funds will be frozen by MultiPass and will be further transferred to a person that has a legal right to such funds without any Customer's instruction. If MultiPass is unable to do so due to the insufficiency of funds held on the Account, the Customer shall compensate the difference within 3 (three) Business Days from receipt of MultiPass's request.
- The Customer (or the User acting on behalf of the Customer) will be able to check the outstanding balance and all the transaction history on its Account (debits, credits and charged Fees) for any period as well as get the Statement of Account and/or Statement of Card by logging in to the User Account. From time to time MultiPass may also provide the Customer with other notifications relating to its Account(s) via additional contact methods.
- MultiPass reserves the right to freeze a Customer Account, Card or Customer Money where MultiPass considers the Account or Customer Money is being used in contravention of applicable laws and regulation. In such instances MultiPass may be prevented by applicable laws and regulations from to communicating to the Customer the reasons why MultiPass has frozen the Account, Card or Customer Money and the Account, Card or Customer Money will remain frozen until MultiPass is legally permitted to unfreeze it and allow the Customer to conduct Payment Orders.
Issuance of Payment Orders
- References in this Agreement to a Payment Order shall be deemed to be references to:
- Payment Orders made to MultiPass to execute as a Payment Transaction; or
- in the case of Card transactions, Payment Orders made to the Issuer through MultiPass for the Issuer to execute. In such instances reference herein to MultiPass shall be viewed as references to MultiPass and/or the Issuer as the context may require.
- In order to execute a Payment Transaction, the Customer will be required to submit a Payment Order in the System or use its Card to process payment (which shall also be regarded as a Payment Order) and confirm its consent by a one-time Password received by SMS or other Identity Authentication Measures. As noted above, use of such authentication methods shall bind the Customer to the relevant Payment Transaction.
- The Customer shall execute Payment Orders in strict compliance with the procedure indicated in the System and on the MultiPass Website. The Payment Orders submitted by the Customer shall be clearly and unambiguously worded and express the intention of the Customer without any doubt. MultiPass shall be entitled to charge additional Fees to the Customer if the Customer makes an invalid transfer, invalid account crediting or indicates invalid payment transfer data and requests to revise the payment.
- The Customer shall only be able to cancel a confirmed same day Payment Order with MultiPass consent, which may be given or withheld by MultiPass at its sole discretion. The Customer shall only be entitled to cancel Payment Orders with future execution dates up to 5pm on the Business Day immediately preceding the future execution date. MultiPass will charge a Fee to cancel any Payment Order.
- The Customer is solely responsible for all Payment Orders and for checking they are correct. MultiPass shall have no liability to the Customer or any third party if MultiPass does not or cannot process the cancellation of a Payment Order.
- The Customer may set a future date for execution of a Payment Order and/or provide that a Payment Order shall be executed subject to an incoming transfer. If on the indicated date the amount of Customer Money in the relevant Account is sufficient, MultiPass shall execute the Payment Order. A transfer to another MultiPass Account shall be executed on the same day and, in case a future date for execution is set, until 12.00 AM on the specified date.
- If the Payment Order contains incorrect information, the payment will not be executed unless, in exceptional cases, MultiPass is able to correct the details of the Payment Order and effect it under the normal procedure on its own initiative. MultiPass will only make such corrections if MultiPass has enough information to make such corrections without any doubt, and MultiPass shall not be obliged to check a Payment Order or make any such correction.
- If the amount of Customer Money in a relevant Account is insufficient for execution of a Payment Order, the Payment Order will not be executed or processed. The System will attempt to execute the Payment Order for 5 (five) consecutive days following the receipt of the Payment Order. If after the expiry of this period the Payment Order has not been executed, it will be cancelled. If the amount of Customer Money in the Account is insufficient for a transfer in one currency, but there is a sufficient amount of Customer Money in another currency in the Customer’s other Account(s), the Customer may convert its Customer Money into the currency of transfer in question to procure its execution.

- A Payment Order shall be deemed to be received by MultiPass (and the time limit for execution of the Payment Order shall start to run) on the day of its submission and confirmation by the Customer, and, if such day is not a Business Day or receipt is outside of business hours (being 9am-5pm), the Payment Order shall be deemed to be received by MultiPass on the next Business Day.
- MultiPass shall be entitled to record and store any Payment Orders placed in the System and to record and store information on all Payment Transactions performed by the Customer. These records may be presented by MultiPass to the Customer and/or third persons (provided that they have a legitimate basis to request those, viewed in MultiPass reasonable opinion) as evidence confirming the submitted Payment Orders and/or executed Payment Transaction.
- MultiPass shall have the right to refuse to execute a submitted Payment Order if MultiPass has reasonable doubts that the Payment Order has been submitted by a User, or the documents provided to MultiPass are false or incomplete or the submitted Payment Order is otherwise illegitimate. In such instances, MultiPass shall have the right to request additional documents and information from the Customer to allow MultiPass to execute the Payment Order. In doing so, MultiPass will act with a view to protect its own and the legitimate interests of the Customer and/or those of any other relevant persons and as a result MultiPass will not be liable for any losses caused by its refusal to execute the submitted Payment Order.
- Before executinga Payment Order submitted by the Customer, MultiPass shall have the right to request the Customer to provide all relevant documents and information confirming the legal source of funds that are the subject of the Payment Order, legal background of the Payment Transaction, along with Identification information or other documents related to the Customer’s activities. The Customer shall comply with all such requests. If the Customer fails to provide the requested documents, then without prejudice to any other rights MultiPass may have, MultiPass may refuse to execute the Payment Order.
- MultiPass may execute the Payment Order in full or in part, suspend or cancel its execution if: (i) MultiPass reasonably considers such action to be in the best interests of the Customer; or (ii) if required under applicable laws or due to other reasons beyond the control of MultiPass. In such case MultiPass will inform the Customer immediately and provide reasons why MultiPass has taken such action, unless such notice is impossible for technical reasons, or if the law, a court or regulator prevents (or is likely to prevent) MultiPass from doing so.
- MultiPass will not accept and execute any Payment Orders if the Customer Money held in the relevant Account are seized, frozen or are subject to other limitations and MultiPass has documentary evidence confirming this.
- If the Customer Money that has been subject to the executed Payment Order has been returned due to reasons beyond the control of MultiPass (incorrect information in the Payment Order, the account of the Payee is closed, etc.), MultiPass shall credit the returned amounts to the Customer’s Account and the Fees paid by the Payer for execution of the Payment Order shall not be repaid and any other Fees and costs related to repayment of money shall be debited from the Customer’s Account (for example Correspondent Bank fees).
- Payment Transaction shall be performed by MultiPass according to the Unique Identifier and other information provided in the received Payment Order. MultiPass shall not be held liable for the Customer’s failure to provide the Unique Identifier and other information in the Payment Order and/or incorrectness thereof, and/or if the payment service provider of the Payee has set a different Unique Identifier for proper execution of such Payment Transaction. In such instances, MultiPass will make reasonable efforts to cancel the Payment Transaction and return the funds to the Account, but does not guarantee any particular outcome. Additional Fees may be charged by MultiPass for such assistance.
- MultiPass shall be entitled but shall not be obliged to check whether the Unique Identifier given in the Payment Order received by MultiPass corresponds to the name and surname (title) of the recipient. If MultiPass carries out the aforementioned verification and establishes an obvious discrepancy between the Unique Identifier provided to MultiPass and the name and surname (title) of the recipient, MultiPass shall have the right to refuse to execute such Payment Transaction and will inform the Customer accordingly.
