If the Confirmation of Payee service suggests details are incorrect, you should only proceed if you have checked the account details with the intended recipient and you are confident that the account is legitimate.

It’s important to note that if a payment is credited to an unintended recipient, we may not be able to recover the funds and return them to you. We aren’t liable for any loss you suffer arising from a mistaken payment unless contributed to by our gross negligence, criminal conduct, fraud or wilful misconduct.

(h) If we’re informed that your payment can’t be processed by a Biller, we’ll:
(i) advise you of this;
(ii) credit your account with the amount of the payment; and
(iii) take all reasonable steps to help you make the payment as quickly as possible.

(d) Future-dated payments which fall on a date that’s not a Banking Business Day will be paid the next Banking Business Day.
8.4. Liability for BPAY payments
8.4.1. Overview
(a) We’ll take reasonable steps to ensure your payments are processed promptly by BPAY payment participants. You must promptly tell us if you:
(i) become aware of any delays or mistakes in processing your payment;
(ii) didn't authorise a payment that’s been made from your account; or
(iii) think that you’ve been fraudulently induced to make a payment. We’ll attempt to rectify these scenarios in relation to your payments in the way described in this clause 8.4.
(b) We won’t be liable for any loss or damage you suffer because of using BPAY payments except as set out in this clause 8.4 and unless contributed to by our gross negligence, criminal conduct, fraud or wilful misconduct.
(c) You must provide us such assistance as may be reasonably necessary to conduct investigations in respect of any mistaken, unauthorised or fraudulent payments.
(d) The longer the delay between when you tell us of the error and the date of your payment, the more difficult it may be to correct the error. For example, we or your Biller may not have sufficient records or information available to us to investigate the error. If this is the case, you may need to demonstrate that an error has occurred, based on your own records, or liaise directly with the Biller to correct the error.
(e) Subject to paragraphs 8.4.2 to 8.4.5, payments are irrevocable, unless the payment is:
(i) a mistaken payment referred to in paragraph 8.4.2;
(ii) an unauthorised payment referred to in paragraphs 8.4.1 (a) to 8.4.1 (c); or
(iii) a fraudulent payment referred to in paragraph 8.4.4.
No refunds will be provided through BPAY where you have a dispute with the Biller about any goods or services you may have agreed to acquire from the Biller. Any dispute must be resolved with the Biller.
8.4.2. Mistaken payments
If a payment is made otherwise than in line with your instructions (if any), we’ll credit that amount to your account. However, if you were responsible for a mistake resulting in that payment (e.g. due to entering the wrong details as part of a payment instruction) and we can’t recover the funds within 20 Business Days of us attempting to do so, you must pay us that amount.
8.4.3. Unauthorised payments
(a) If a payment appears to be made by you, or appears to be made on your behalf, but has been made without your authority, we’ll credit your account with the amount of that unauthorised payment. This doesn’t include a payment where the payment instruction was made by you or by anybody with your knowledge or consent. Further, in all cases, you must pay us the amount of an unauthorised payment if the payment was made because of you not complying with any relevant security requirements.
(b) If we can recover part of an amount you’re required to pay us under paragraph 8.4.3(a) from the payment recipient, you must pay us the amount that we can’t recover.
(c) If you tell us that a payment made from your account is unauthorised, you must give us your written consent (in a form we may specify), consenting to us obtaining from the payment recipient information about you, including your Customer Reference Number and such information as we reasonably need to investigate the payment. If you don’t give us that consent, the payment recipient may not be permitted under law to disclose to us the information we need to investigate or rectify that payment.
8.4.4. Fraudulent payments
If a payment is made because you were fraudulently induced into making that payment, and any other person involved in the payment committed, had actual knowledge of, or with reasonable diligence should have detected, the fraud, then that person should refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment. However, if that person doesn’t refund you the whole amount of the fraud induced payment, you must bear the loss.
8.4.5. Resolution principles
(a) A payment that falls into more than one of the categories described in clause 8.4 will be handled as follows:
(i) if a payment you’ve made falls within the type described in paragraphs 8.4.3 (a) to 8.4.3 (c) (Unauthorised payments) and:
(A) paragraph 8.4.2 (Mistaken payments); or
(B) paragraph 8.4.4 (Fraudulent payments)
then we’ll apply the principles set out in paragraphs 8.4.3 to (Unauthorised payments).
(ii) If a payment you’ve made falls within both the types described in paragraphs 8.4.2 (Mistaken payments) and 8.4.4 (Fraudulent payments), then we’ll apply the principles set out in paragraph 8.4.4 (Fraudulent payments).
9. PayID®
9.1. About PayID

(a) register a PayID and use it to receive payments from people who have accounts at participating financial institutions; or
(b) make a payment to a PayID as an alternative to using a person’s BSB and account number.
9.2. Making payments to a PayID

(b) You must input the correct PayID details and check the payee’s PayID name before making a payment. If you make a payment to the wrong PayID, the funds may be sent to an unintended recipient and you may not be able to recover the money.
9.3. Creating a PayID
(a) A PayID can be created by linking a unique identifier to an eligible account through Solo Money. The PayID types we currently offer are mobile numbers and email addresses. We won’t create a PayID for you without your consent.
(b) You must have an eligible account and either own or be authorised to use the PayID to register it through Solo Money.
(c) A PayID can only be registered with one financial institution at a time and linked to a single account. You can create multiple PayIDs and link them to the same account or to multiple accounts, provided that each PayID is different and the nominated account is eligible.
(d) When you create a PayID, we’ll generate a PayID name using the details held for your account for your review. We’ll ensure that the PayID and the details linked to it (i.e. the PayID name and underlying account details) will be correctly recorded in the central register managed by NPPA. Your PayID name will be made available to parties who use the PayID service. Your PayID details may also be used for screening, disputes and investigations.
(e) To the extent that the creation and use of your PayID details constitutes a disclosure, storage and use of your personal information, you acknowledge and agree that you consent to that disclosure, storage and use. You also acknowledge that we may monitor your PayID use to manage the risk of misuse and fraud.
(f) If you try to create a PayID and identify that it has already been registered by another person and you believe that the other person is not entitled to use it, you can ask us to raise a dispute. We can’t disclose to you details of any personal information in connection with PayIDs that are already registered.
(g) You must:
(i) only create and keep a PayID if you are entitled to use it;
(ii) notify us if you’re aware of or suspect unauthorised use of a PayID;
(iii) close a PayID if you’re not authorised to use it;
(iv) be able to provide us information about your entitlement to use a PayID if requested from time to time;
(v) keep your PayID details up to date and notify us if any relevant details change;
(vi) make sure your customers are aware of any relevant changes to your PayID;
(vii) use the PayID logo in accordance with the brand standards made available by NPPA from time to time if you use the logo for commercial purposes.
9.4. Updating a PayID
(a) After you have successfully created a PayID through Solo Money, you can:
(i) lock the PayID to temporarily disable it from being used;
(ii) unlock the PayID where it has previously been locked by you;
(iii) update the linked account where that account is accessible through Solo Money;
(iv) close the PayID;
(v) initiate a transfer to another financial institution (subject to paragraph 9.4(b) below).
(b) Transferring your PayID to another financial institution is a two-step process. You must first initiate the transfer through Solo Money. Once you’ve taken this step, the transfer can only be completed after you’ve asked the other financial institution to process the transfer request by creating a new PayID for you. The new PayID must be created within 14 days, otherwise your transfer request will be cancelled and your PayID will remain active.
(c) If you have a PayID with another financial institution and you want to transfer it to us, you need to ask the other financial institution to transfer your PayID to us. We can’t transfer it for you. Once you have requested the other financial institution to transfer the PayID, you can create a PayID through Solo Money.
(d) If you instruct us to transfer, lock or close a PayID or update the linked account for a PayID, the existing linked account will be able to receive payments to the PayID until your request has been processed. Subject to the two-step process applicable to PayID transfers described in clause 9.4(b), we’ll generally process your request promptly. Once we’ve processed your request to lock or close your PayID, you won’t be able to receive payments using it, transfer it to another financial institution or otherwise update it.
(e) We may, acting reasonably, lock or close your PayID at any time including because:
(i) we suspect that you may not be entitled to use the PayID;
(ii) we believe that fraud has occurred or is occurring, or the PayID is being used in a way that may cause loss to you, us or a third party;
(iii) there is a conflict or dispute relating to the PayID; or
(iv) the PayID is inactive.
10. PayTo®
10.1. Creating a Payment Agreement
(a) PayTo allows payers to establish and authorise Payment Agreements with a Payee who offers PayTo as a payment option.
(b) If you choose to establish a Payment Agreement with a Merchant or Payment Initiator that offers PayTo payment services, you’ll need to have opened a Solo Money Account with us and the Payee will need to offer PayTo payment services. You’ll be required to provide the Payee with your personal information including BSB/Account number or PayID. You’re responsible for ensuring the correctness of the BSB/Account number or PayID you provide to the Payee for the purpose of establishing a Payment Agreement. Any personal information or data you provide to the Payee will be subject to the privacy policy and terms and conditions of the relevant Payee.
(c) The Payee will submit details of the Payment Agreement to their financial institution for their information and for it to be recorded in the Mandate Management Service. The details of the Payment Agreement will be recorded in the Mandate Management Service for NPP Payments to be processed in accordance with them. We’ll notify you of the creation of any Payment Agreement established using your account or PayID details through the Solo by MYOB app and/or any other method contemplated by these Terms and Conditions. We will also provide details of the Payment Agreement, including the Payee named in the Payment Agreement, the payment amount and payment frequency, which you must confirm are correct or if they are incorrect, decline the Payment Agreement and contact the Payee requesting that they amend and resubmit the Payment Agreement. If you confirm the details in the Payment Agreement are correct, we’ll record your confirmation against the record of the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service and the Payment Agreement will then become effective. If you see that the details in the Payment Agreement are incorrect, and decline the Payment Agreement, we’ll note that against the record of the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service and the Payment Agreement will be cancelled.
(d) We’ll process payment instructions in connection with a Payment Agreement, received from the Payee, only if you’ve confirmed the associated Payment Agreement. Payment instructions may be submitted to us for processing immediately after you’ve confirmed the Payment Agreement so you must take care to ensure the details of the Payment Agreement are correct before you confirm them. We won’t be liable to you or any other person for loss suffered because of processing a payment instruction submitted under a Payment Agreement that you establish, unless contributed to by our gross negligence, criminal conduct, fraud or wilful misconduct. If a Payment Agreement requires your confirmation within a timeframe stipulated by the Payee, and you don’t provide confirmation within that timeframe, the Payment Agreement may be withdrawn by the Payee.
10.2. Amending a Payment Agreement
(a) Your Payment Agreement may be amended by the Payee, or by us on your instruction.
(b) When the Payee requests an amendment to the Payment Agreement and it needs your authorisation:
(i) The Mandate Management Service will notify us of the Payee’s proposed amendment to the terms of Payment Agreement and we’ll notify you of those proposed amendments through the Solo by MYOB app and/or any other method contemplated by these Terms and Conditions for your approval. These amendments may include variation of the payment amount, where that is specified in the Payment Agreement as a fixed amount, or payment frequency. You may confirm or decline any amendment request. If you authorise the amendment, we’ll record the confirmation against the record of the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service and the amendment will then be effective. If you decline the amendment, we’ll record this decision, notify the Mandate Management Service and the amendment won’t be made. A declined amendment request will not otherwise affect the Payment Agreement.
(ii) Amendment requests which aren’t authorised or declined within five calendar days of being sent to you, will expire. If you don’t authorise or decline the amendment request within this period of time, the amendment request will be deemed to be declined.
(c) If you decline the amendment request because it doesn’t reflect the updated terms of the Payment Agreement that you have with the Payee, you may contact the Payee and have them resubmit the amendment request with the correct details. We aren’t authorised to vary the details in an amendment request submitted by the Payee.
(d) You can only request that we amend your name or account details in the Payment Agreement after it has been established. Account details may only be replaced with the BSB and account number of an account you hold with us through Solo Money. If you want to amend the account details to refer to an account with another financial institution, you may give us a transfer instruction (see clause 10.4). We may decline to act on your instruction to amend your Payment Agreement if we aren’t reasonably satisfied that your request is legitimate. You may not request us to amend the details of the Payee, or another party.
(e) We may amend your Payment Agreement, if you instruct us to do so, provided that we are reasonably satisfied that such amendment is in line with these Terms and Conditions.
10.3. Pausing your Payment Agreement
(a) You may instruct us to pause and resume your Payment Agreement through the Solo by MYOB app. We’ll act on your instruction to pause or resume your Payment Agreement promptly by updating the record of the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service. The Mandate Management Service will notify the Payee’s financial institution of the pause or resumption. During the period the Payment Agreement is paused, we won’t process payment instructions in connection with it. We won’t be liable for any loss that you or any other person may suffer because of us, in line with these Terms and Conditions, pausing a Payment Agreement that is in breach of the terms of an agreement between you and the relevant Payee.
(b) Payees may pause and resume their Payment Agreements. If the Payee pauses or resumes a Payment Agreement which you’re a party to, they’ll notify their financial institution and update the Mandate Management Service. We’ll promptly notify you of a pause and of any subsequent resumption through the Solo by MYOB app. We won’t be liable for any loss that you or any other person may suffer because of the pausing of a Payment Agreement by the Payee.
(c) We may pause and resume your Payment Agreement as we consider reasonably necessary to prevent or investigate any suspected fraud, unlawful activity, misconduct, or any suspicious activity. We’ll give you notice through the Solo by MYOB app where we’ve exercised our right to pause or resume your Payment Agreement, including the grounds for exercising this right. We may also pause your Payment Agreement where we reasonably suspect you have breached these Terms and Conditions. We may also pause your Payment Agreement if your account is no longer eligible to be used to process a payment initiation request. We’ll notify the Mandate Management Service to update your record and the Mandate Management Service will notify the Payee’s financial institution of this update. While your Payment Agreement is paused, we won’t process payment instructions in connection with your Payment Agreement. We must use reasonable endeavours to investigate any decision to pause and/or resume your Payment Agreement due to a suspected fraud, unlawful activity, misconduct or any suspicious activity as soon as reasonably practicable. We have the authority to keep a service paused until such a time that we are satisfied that the relevant issues are resolved to our reasonable satisfaction.
(d) If your Payment Agreement has been paused because your account is no longer eligible for PayTo, and you amend the Payment Agreement to link it to an eligible BSB and account number, your Payment Agreement will automatically resume.
10.4. Transferring your Payment Agreement
(a) When available, you may elect to have payments under your Payment Agreement made from an account at another financial institution if PayTo is offered by that financial institution. You may do this by selecting “Transfer your Payment Agreement” in the Solo by MYOB app. We’ll give you a Transfer ID to give to your new financial institution to enable them to complete the transfer.
(b) Your new financial institution will be responsible for arranging your authorisation of the transfer of the Payment Agreement and also updating the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service. The updated Payment Agreement will become effective when it’s updated in the Mandate Management Service.
(c) Until the transfer is completed, the Payment Agreement will remain linked to your account with us and payments under the Payment Agreement will continue to be made from your account with us. If the other financial institution doesn’t complete the transfer within 14 calendar days of when the Transfer ID was issued, the transfer will be deemed to be ineffective and payments under the Payment Agreement will continue to be made from your account with us.
(d) To transfer a Payment Agreement that you have with another financial institution to us, you’ll need to obtain a Transfer ID from that institution and give it to us through the Solo by MYOB app. We’ll use reasonable endeavours to arrange a transfer within 14 days of receiving your instruction to process a Transfer of a Payment Agreement from another financial institution. We don’t guarantee that all Payment Agreements will be transferrable to us. If we can’t complete a transfer, we will notify you. The transfer of a Payment Agreement will become effective when it’s updated in the Mandate Management Service by us.
10.5. Cancelling your Payment Agreement
(a) You may instruct us to cancel a Payment Agreement on your behalf through the Solo by MYOB app. We’ll act on your instruction promptly by updating the record of the Payment Agreement in the Mandate Management Service. The Mandate Management Service will notify the Payee’s financial institution or payment processor of the cancellation. Before cancelling you should consider whether cancelling will breach the terms of an agreement between you and the relevant Payee because you’ll be liable for any loss that you suffer because of that breach (for example, any termination notice periods that haven’t been adhered to). We won’t be liable to you or any other person for loss incurred because of the cancellation of a Payment Agreement.
(b) Where your account is no longer eligible for PayTo, you won’t be able to cancel your PayTo Payment Agreement. In these circumstances, you can contact us through the Solo by MYOB app to request that we cancel the Payment Agreement on your behalf.
(c) Payees may cancel Payment Agreements. If the Payee cancels a Payment Agreement which you’re a party to, we’ll promptly notify you of that cancellation through the Solo by MYOB app. We won’t be liable to you or any other person for loss incurred because of the cancellation of your Payment Agreement by the Payee.
(d) We may cancel your Payment Agreement to prevent fraud, unlawful activity, misconduct, any other suspicious activity, if we believe it’s reasonably necessary to do so to comply with our obligations under Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Laws, or if your account is no longer eligible for PayTo. You may also request us to cancel a Payment Agreement on your behalf if you don’t have access to do so yourself through the Solo by MYOB app. We’ll notify the Mandate Management Service to update your record and the Mandate Management Service will notify the Payee’s financial institution of this update. We’ll notify you of this cancellation.
10.6. Payments under a Payment Agreement
(a) Once a payment has been made under a Payment Agreement it is irrevocable. Refunds and reversals won’t be provided by us, PayTo or the NPP where you have a dispute with a Payee about any goods or services you have agreed to or acquired from the Payee under a Payment Agreement.
(b) If you have any complaints about goods or services purchased using a Payment Agreement you must resolve the complaint directly with the Payee.
(c) If you become aware of a payment being made from your account, that’s not permitted under the terms of your Payment Agreement you should contact the Payee to resolve this matter. If you’ve made reasonable attempts to resolve this matter, we may, at our discretion, raise an enquiry with the Payee’s financial institution to recover funds on your behalf.
10.7. Migration of Direct Debit arrangements
(a) Payees who have existing Direct Debit arrangements with their customers, may establish Payment Agreements for these, as Migrated DDR Mandates, to process payments under those arrangements through the NPP rather than BECS. If you have an existing Direct Debit arrangement with a Payee, you may be notified by them that future payments will be processed from your account under PayTo. You’re entitled to provide prior written notice of variation of your Direct Debit arrangement and changed processing arrangements, as specified in your Direct Debit Service Agreement, from the Payee. If you don’t consent to the variation of the Direct Debit arrangement you must advise the Payee. We aren’t obliged to provide notice of a Migrated DDR Mandate to you for you to confirm or decline. We’ll process instructions received from a Merchant or Payment Initiator based on a Migrated DDR Mandate.
(b) You may amend, pause (and resume), cancel or transfer your Migrated DDR Mandates, or receive notice of amendment, pause or resumption, or cancellation initiated by Payee, in the manner described in clauses 10.3, 10.4, 10.5.

(ii) these details may be disclosed to the financial institution or payment processor for the Payee, for the purposes of creating payment instructions and constructing NPP Payment messages and enabling us to make payments from your account.
11. Direct Debits
11.1. Setting up a direct debit
(a) A direct debit is a transaction debited to your account by another person (the ‘Debit User’), under an arrangement that you and the person have entered into.
(b) The Debit User sets the frequency, amount and dates on which amounts are drawn from your account.
(c) A direct debit is different from a scheduled payment or a recurring payment made using your Card.
11.2. Cancelling a direct debit

(b) You may also request us to suspend or cancel an individual direct debit. If you do, we’ll take this action within one Business Day.

(b) If we, at our sole discretion give you an Unarranged Limit so that the direct debit can be processed, you’ll incur the fees and charges that apply to Unarranged Limits.
12. Debit Card
12.1. About the Card
(a) You may request a Card to be linked to an eligible Solo Money Account at any time. Schedule 1 sets out which accounts are eligible for Cards.
(b) A physical Card will be sent to you, at the address we hold on file, within 10 Business Days of request. You must –
(i) sign the Card as soon as you receive it; and
(ii) activate the Card after you receive it, within 90 days of the date of issue. If you do not activate your Card, your Card will be cancelled, and you will need to request a new Card in accordance with clause 12(a). By activating a Card before receiving it, there is a risk that you will become liable for unauthorised transactions if the Card is misplaced or stolen on its way to you.
(c) Cards can be used to make purchases through chip (and PIN), magstripe and card-not-present transactions (e.g. online transactions) from merchants who can process payments from the Card Scheme. Cards can also be used to withdraw cash at ATMs which display the Card Scheme’s logo.
(d) You can make contactless transactions with a Card at merchant terminals that allow contactless payments. A contactless transaction is when you hold your card near a contactless terminal and don’t need to insert or swipe your Card.
(e) All Cards are digital-enabled and you may choose to add your Card to a compatible digital wallet on certain devices. When a Card is added to a digital wallet, it may be used for contactless transactions with participating merchants in accordance with clause 12(d).
(f) Only one Card may be issued per account, at a time.
12.2. Using the Card
(a) We may, acting reasonably, change the daily transaction limit for the Card or put temporary or permanent blocks preventing transactions from being processed to certain merchants, categories of merchants or geographical regions. We may do this for a number of reasons, including where we believe there is a high risk of fraud or criminal activity associated with the merchant or region or where we are obliged by law to take such action.
(b) We don’t warrant that merchants or ATMs displaying the Card Scheme’s logos or other promotional material will accept the Card and we don’t accept responsibility should a merchant or other party refuse to accept the Card. You should confirm with the relevant party that they are able to accept the Card before initiating a transaction.
(c) We aren’t responsible for any defects in the goods and services you acquire using the Card. You acknowledge that all matters regarding the goods and services you obtain from merchants must be addressed to the merchants.
(d) If you close the account which the Card is linked to, the Card will be cancelled.
12.3. Recurring payments
(a) You may use the Card to set up recurring payments with a merchant by authorising the merchant to process a regular payment using the Card number. The recurring payment will be processed as a Card transaction rather than as a direct debit.
(b) If your Card details change for any reason, you must request the merchant to change the details of the recurring payment to ensure payments under the arrangement can continue. If you don’t inform the merchant of the change to your Card details, the payment won’t be processed and the merchant may not provide you with the relevant goods and services. There may also be additional fees and charges imposed by them.
(c) If you want to cancel the recurring payment, you should contact the merchant at least 15 days before the next scheduled payment and retain a copy of this cancellation request.
(d) If you close the account linked to the Card or cancel the Card for any reason, you must immediately contact the merchant to change or cancel your payment arrangements.
12.4. Pre-authorisations
A merchant may request a confirmation from us that there are sufficient funds in your account to cover the anticipated cost of goods or services supplied by them. Where this is the case, the available funds in your account will be reduced by the amount of the anticipated cost of goods or services. The actual amount payable to the merchant may be different to the anticipated cost. Your balance will reflect any changes once the transaction has been processed.
12.5. Foreign Currency Transactions
(a) Foreign currency transactions processed using the Card may involve a conversion (for example, from an overseas currency into Australian dollars) and incur a foreign transaction fee. Foreign currency transactions include:
(i) where the Card is used overseas at an ATM or merchant;
(ii) any transaction that involves a conversion by the merchant even though the transaction is denominated in Australian dollars (for example, where the merchant processes their payment outside of Australia); and
(iii) a refund or chargeback (as described in clause 12.8(d)) processed in connection with the above transactions.
(b) When a foreign currency transaction is processed, the transaction is either converted into:
(i) Australian dollars at a rate determined by the Card Scheme (where the transaction is processed in United States dollars);
(ii) United States dollars and then into Australian dollars at rates determined by the Card Scheme (where the transaction is processed in a currency other than United States dollars).
(c) The Card Scheme uses either a wholesale exchange rate or government mandated exchange rate to determine the conversion rate that will apply to the foreign currency transaction on the day it is processed. The rate applicable on the day the transaction (including a chargeback or refund) is processed may be different to the rate applicable when the transaction originally occurred.
(d) The foreign transaction fee applicable to foreign currency transactions can be found in Schedule 2 to these Terms and Conditions. Each foreign transaction fee you incur will be shown as a separate amount on your statement.
(e) Where a chargeback is processed in connection with a foreign currency transaction, the foreign transaction fee charged to the original transaction will be reversed.
(f) Some overseas merchants and ATMs charge a surcharge for making a transaction using your Card. Once you’ve confirmed that transaction you’re not able to dispute the surcharge. The surcharge may appear on your bank statement as part of the purchase price.
(g) Some overseas merchants and electronic terminals give you the option to convert the value of the transaction into Australian currency at the point of sale, also known as‘Dynamic Currency Conversion’. If you accept this option, once you have confirmed the transaction you’re not able to dispute the exchange rate applied. Regardless of who completes the currency conversion, the foreign transaction fee will apply.
12.6. PIN and Security
(a) You must choose a PIN for the Card. A PIN can be set up and changed at any time within the “Cards” section of the Solo by MYOB app.
(b) You must follow the instructions for choosing a secure PIN. You must also keep the PIN confidential and not disclose it to any other person.
(c) For the Card and PIN to operate effectively, you must not tamper with or damage the Card in any way.
12.7. Loss, theft and misuse of the Card
(d) If you believe the Card has been misused, lost or stolen, you must log into the Solo by MYOB app, freeze the Card and report the Card as lost, stolen or damaged.
(e) We’ll acknowledge your notification by giving you a reference number. You must keep this reference number.
12.8. Liability for unauthorised transactions on your Card
a) You won’t be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions where it’s clear that you haven’t contributed to the loss. You also won’t be liable for unauthorised transactions where:
(i) you haven’t activated the original or replacement Card but a transaction has been processed using the Card;
(ii) you have previously informed us that the Card has been misused, lost or stolen and you have requested to freeze or cancel the Card;
(iii) a transaction has been debited more than once to your account without your authorisation; or
(iv) our systems are malfunctioning in a manner that caused the unauthorised transaction to be processed.
b) Our liability in respect of unauthorised transactions in the circumstances described in clause 12.8(a) is limited to correcting any errors and refunding any fees or charges imposed on you.
c) You’ll be liable for loss arising from unauthorised transactions where:
(i) you don’t take reasonable steps to protect your PIN;
(ii) you provide the Card and/or PIN to another person; or
(iii) you delay notifying us that the Card has been lost, stolen, damaged or misused.
d) You can ask us to reverse a payment made using the Card if you believe a transaction on the Card was:
(i) unauthorised; or
(ii) for goods or services that were ultimately not delivered by the merchant or didn’t match the description given by the merchant (and no refund or credit note was offered by the merchant).
This is known as a ‘chargeback’. A chargeback for a transaction processed by the Card Scheme will be processed in accordance with the Card Scheme Rules.
e) If you want to recover the funds for unauthorised transactions on your Card, you must instruct us to process a chargeback within 120 days of the relevant transaction and provide us with any information we require for the purposes of the chargeback. If you instruct us outside of this timeframe, we may not be able to recover the funds.
(f) If the chargeback is declined in line with the Card Scheme Rules, we’ll notify you and give you a reason for the decision where the Card Scheme has made this available.
12.9. Card Expiration
(a) We’ll issue a replacement Card before your current Card expires.
(b) When you receive the replacement Card, you must:
(i) complete the steps set out in clause 12.1(b); and
(ii) destroy your previous Card by cutting it into several pieces and disposing of it securely.
12.10. Replacement Cards
(a) You may request a replacement Card through the Solo by MYOB app if your Card has been lost, stolen or damaged.
(b) We may issue a new Card to you at any time.
(c) We reserve the right not to re-issue a Card to you.
12.11. Card revocation and cancellation
(a) Youmay cancel the Card at any time through the Solo by MYOB app. You’ll be liable for any transactions you make or initiate using the Card before or after the Card’s cancellation.
(b) We may cancel the Card at any time without giving you prior notice, if we (acting reasonably) believe that ongoing use of the Card may cause loss to you or us. Once we’ve advised you of the cancellation, you must stop using the Card and destroy it immediately by cutting it into several pieces and disposing of it securely. You’ll be liable for any transactions you make or initiate using the Card once we’ve advised you of the Card’s cancellation.
(c) All Cards are issued at our discretion and we may determine the level of functionality made available in our Cards. We may choose not to provide you with a Card.
(d) All Cards remain our property.
