For some deposit methods such as Card, we will credit the E-Money funds to your E-Wallet as soon as possible subject to our right of reversal.

If an E-Wallet is subject to a reserve, we will give provide notice specifying the terms of this reserve. These terms may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into an E-Wallet is held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of E-Money is held in reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with the E-Wallet. We may, subject to clause 17 below as applicable, change the terms of this reserve at any time by giving notice of these new terms.

5.9 If the balance of your E-Wallet is negative for any reason (or if there are any other past sums due to us), we may set off the negative balance by deducting amounts you owe us from funds you receive into your E-Wallet, or funds you attempt to withdraw or send from your E-Wallet.

In such circumstances, if your E-Wallet has insufficient available balance, we shall credit your E-Wallet using the selected Mobile Money Account in order to cover the full value of your Payment Transaction and the relevant fees (as set out in the Fee Schedule).

6.4 If there is insufficient E-Money available in your E-Wallet to cover the Payment Transaction, we will block the Payment Transaction and you will receive a notification confirming that you have “insufficient balance”.

6.5 Where any payment out of your E-Wallet is made in a currency other than US Dollar, we are entitled to debit your E-Wallet balance in US Dollar in the amount equivalent to the Payment Transaction amount, converted into US Dollar using the currency exchange rate you agreed with us before the relevant Payment Transaction is executed.
