1 Introduction and Account Opening

The Fair Everywhere Account consists of four parts – the Fair Everywhere Current Account, the Fair Everywhere EUR Wallet, the Fair Everywhere USD Wallet and the Fair Everywhere Corporate Mastercard® Card.

The Fair Everywhere Account is a current account intended for business use only and is designed for businesses with only minimal revenue coming from cash and cheque credits.

These terms and conditions explain how the Fair Everywhere Account works and explain our obligations to you and your obligations to us.

To be eligible for a Fair Everywhere Account, you must be at least 18 and have a residential address in the UK at which you reside. Your business must be a business registered in the UK. We do not accept businesses with a PO Box or Mailbox address; nor do we accept businesses where a company is listed as a director. By law, we must check your identity and perform relevant checks on your business. We will do so by searching your record at identity authentication companies and fraud prevention agencies. The agencies will keep a record of our search. We may use an automated scoring system as part of our verification process or we may ask you for documentary evidence. We may also need to visit your business premises. These checks are in accordance with the EU Money Laundering Directive 2015/849/EC. If we suspect that you have given us false or inaccurate information, we may record our suspicions at fraud prevention agencies and may pass information about you to law enforcement agencies. If you would like details of the organisations with which we share information, please tell us by e-mail or post.

The Fair Everywhere Account is not available to businesses providing certain goods and services such as pornography, prescription drug selling – including any form of supplements such as diet pills, narcotics, weapons, gambling, digi-box or streaming businesses, money service businesses, charities, commodities such as precious stones and metals, or those goods and services which are prohibited by law or, at our sole discretion, are otherwise doubtful from a risk, compliance or reputational perspective. The Fair Everywhere Account cannot be used for any client money services. We may not refund application fees where these clauses apply to the application in question or the application is withdrawn by you, or information is falsified.

You must only make an application for a Fair Everywhere Account when to do so is in agreement with the terms of your company’s Articles of Association or Memorandum of Association or both, or other document or agreement that defines your business or company's constitution. Fair Everywhere may decline any Fair Everywhere Account application at its sole discretion.

Should your application be submitted by a third party, for example an introducer that you have chosen to use, Fair Everywhere will not be responsible for any information provided by that third party or costs that you may have incurred from using that third party, in relation to Fair Everywhere, the account or its operation.

If an insolvency event occurs in relation to your business, then you agree we may:

  • Decline to act on any instructions from you or any other party unless you have previously obtained an appropriate validation order from the Court or we have been authorised to act on such instructions by a third party (such as an appointed insolvency practitioner) from whom we should obtain authority.
  • Ask you to return your Fair Everywhere Corporate Card(s).
  • Set up a separate account or accounts in your business name to which any incoming payments may be credited

In so doing, we will not be held liable for any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you or your administrator. You must inform us if you or your business enters into an insolvency event, within 7 days of entering into the event.

  • By electronic funds transfers including BACS and Faster Payment
    • We do not accept payments in third party names.
    • Proof of source of funds may also be requested.
  • By cheque in GBP payable to your business or by cash in GBP at Barclays branches or by cash in GBP at a Post Office, using only the barcode on the bank GIRO slips supplied by Fair Everywhere. The amount will be credited to your Current Account after 8 business days unless we receive notice of non-payment (cheque); we are waiting for proof of source or we believe you have committed fraud. Cash paid in at a Post Office will be credited after 2 business days. We do not accept cheques payable to a third party and endorsed in your favour. All cheques must be paid in at Barclays branches. Any cheques received at Fair Everywhere offices will be returned to your postal address. The maximum amount of cash allowed to be paid in is £500 per week. We may block accounts where excessive credits are made.

If money is paid into the account from abroad, we will tell you the original amount received and any charges. If the sender has agreed to pay all charges, we will not charge you when we pay the money into your Current Account. Any non-GBP currency received will be converted into GBP by Barclays. Should the credit subsequently be rejected for whatever reason, the money will be converted back to the original currency before being returned. You will be liable for any losses incurred due to currency exchange fluctuations and charges applied by the relevant banks. We do not accept foreign cheques. However, should such a cheque be accepted at Barclays they will be subject to recourse and cannot be considered cleared funds as such items are subject to differing clearing rules. Any credit from a foreign cheque will not be applied to your Current Account for 12 months from presentation. In the event that the foreign cheque received is subsequently returned unpaid we will debit your account with the amount originally credited, along with any losses, and costs, including exchange rate fluctuations and any other charges that we may have been incurred.

Clearing times for money loaded into your Current Account are as follows:

  • Cash and cheques at Barclays branches – 8 business days
  • Cash only at a Post Office – 2 business days
  • BACS – 3 business days from date payment requested by originator
  • Faster Payment – 1 business day from date payment requested by originator

If we are told, for example by another bank, that money has been paid into your account in error; we can take an amount up to the payment amount from your account. We do not have to ask you to agree to this, but will let you know if it happens. We will act reasonably and try to minimise any inconvenience to you.

There is no overdraft facility on your Current Account.

Withdrawals and Payments

You can take money from your Current Account:

  • By transferring money into your EUR & USD Wallets
  • By making transactions on your primary Corporate card
  • By transferring money onto your additional Corporate Cards;
  • By requesting closure of your account. We will arrange an electronic transfer to an account nominated by you.
  • By requesting us to send money abroad (some countries are excluded). Please note that the minimum amount you can send in one payment is £100 / €120 / $140.
  • By a regular bill payment / standing order (using Faster Payments), or by direct debit from your Current Account. We do not accept direct debits on your EUR or USD Wallets. We do not accept direct debits under the SEPA Direct Debit Scheme.
  • By faster payments to another UK bank account

You can cancel or change a bill payment / standing order or direct debit by going to our website or contacting us so we can do this for you. Cancellations or changes must be made 3 business days prior to the due date to prevent automatic payment. Money that has left your account via regular bill payment / standing order cannot be recalled. If you wish to cancel or change a direct debit, as well as telling us so that we can amend any further payments, please also tell the business or organisation the direct debit is with so they can make the amendment.

A business or other organisation you have a direct debit with will normally tell you 10 working days before changing the payment dates or amount of money they ask us to pay them from your account. We allow direct debit payments to be collected from your account on the date specified in the direct debit instruction. If you think there has been an incorrect direct debit payment you should tell us immediately so that we can arrange a refund. If you have a dispute about a direct debit you will need to resolve the dispute with the company or organisation directly.

If a regular bill payment / standing order or direct debit is due to be paid from your Current Account and the balance is insufficient we will not make the payment. We will text you to notify you that we have not made the payment. You must then make alternative arrangements for payment to the intended recipient. We may prioritise standing order payments so that certain payments are given higher priority than others. We will tell you if this is the case. We may cancel any direct debit where there are insufficient funds in your Current Account to cover the full payment.

You can make a same or next day one off payment through participating banks to another party over the phone, online or via the app. The funds will be available to the recipient almost immediately once sent out of your account (same day payment) but it may take up to 1 business day (next day payments). Please see section 10 for fees payable.

You cannot cancel a same day or next day payment once the funds have been debited from your Current Account.

We may refuse to make a payment from your account or ask for further information if we reasonably believe that doing so may cause us to breach a legal requirement or expose us to action from any government or regulator. We may also refuse to act on any instruction you give us including payment instructions where we believe that:

  • the instruction is incomplete
  • valid consent has not been given
  • you or someone else is using the account illegally, fraudulently or outside the terms of these Terms and Conditions

  • there are insufficient funds in the Account to process the payment

If there are sufficient funds available on your EUR Wallet, USD Wallet or on your Corporate Card we will transfer the shortfall amount into your Current Account. We may also seek reimbursement of the shortfall from any other account that you have with us, from another payment method that you may nominate at that time, or from any funds that you subsequently pay into your Current Account, EUR & USD Wallets or Corporate Card.

  • Entering your PIN or providing any other security code,
  • Providing the Corporate Card details and / or any other details as requested,

All transactions require authorisation. We will not normally authorise a transaction if the balance on your Corporate Card is insufficient to cover the transaction and any related transaction fee.

You have 13 months to notify us of an unauthorised or incorrectly authorised payment transaction on your Corporate Card.

Our liability

We cannot guarantee that a retailer will accept your Corporate Card or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction because of a system problem, events outside our reasonable control, or because we are concerned about misuse of your Corporate Card. Accordingly, we shall not be liable if a retailer refuses to accept your Corporate Card, if we do not authorise a transaction, or if we cancel or suspend use of your Corporate Card. Unless otherwise required by law, we shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer as a result of your total or partial use of, or inability to use, your Corporate Card, or as a result of the use of your Corporate Card by any third party. If you do not use your Corporate Card in accordance with these terms and conditions, or if we find that you are using your Corporate Card fraudulently, we reserve the right to charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur in taking action to stop you using it and to recover any monies owed as a result of your activities.

We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you buy with your Corporate Card. Any disputes about purchases made using your Corporate Card must be settled with the retailer concerned. If you use your Corporate Card to make a purchase, you cannot stop that transaction.

Liability for losses

If you act fraudulently or without reasonable care, you will be responsible for all losses on your Fair Everywhere Account. (This may apply, for example, if you do not follow the advice in this section or violate these terms and conditions.)

Unless we can show that you have acted fraudulently or without reasonable care, your liability for misuse of your Corporate Card will be limited as follows:

  • If someone else uses your Corporate Card before you tell us that it has been lost or stolen or that someone else knows your PIN, the most you will have to pay is £35.
  • If someone else uses your Corporate Card details without your permission, and your Corporate Card has not been reported lost or stolen, you will not be liable for those transactions.
  • If someone else uses your Corporate Card details without your permission for a transaction where the cardholder does not need to be present (for example, buying something over the internet), you will not be liable for those transactions.
  • If your Corporate Card is used before you have received it, you will not be liable for those transactions.

If you have acted with reasonable care (as defined in this section) and have not acted fraudulently, you will not be liable for losses caused by someone else which take place on your online account service.

  • If we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms and conditions or failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen.
  • We will not be liable for any default resulting from any abnormal or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control (such as acts of God, terrorism, war, government action or natural disaster), the consequences of which would have been unavoidable despite all our efforts to the contrary.
  • We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Card; and/or for breach of our statutory obligations, including any applicable rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. However, we will not be liable for any default where it is a result of our duty to comply with any applicable laws of the European Union or the United Kingdom.

6 Protecting your Fair Everywhere Account

In this section, ‘you’ includes your authorised users.

We will co-operate with other industry organisations to provide secure and reliable account and payment systems that you can trust.

Taking care

Taking care of your Corporate Card, PIN and other security information is essential to help prevent fraud and protect your Fair Everywhere Account. Please make sure that you follow the advice given below.

Do not let anyone else use your Corporate Card, and do not tell anyone else your PIN, password or other security information.

We will never ask you to tell us your PIN. If you are in any doubt about whether a caller is genuine, or if you are suspicious about them, take their details and call us.

When you change your PIN at an enabled ATM, choose your new PIN carefully. Avoid selecting a PIN that can be compromised using other information about you, such as numbers from your date of birth or house number.

Memorise your PIN, password and other security information, and securely destroy the notice as soon as you receive it.

Always take reasonable steps to keep your Corporate Card safe and your PIN, password and other security information secret at all times.

Never give away your Fair Everywhere Account details or other security information.

Keep your Corporate Card receipts and other information about your Fair Everywhere Account, such as statements, safe and destroy them carefully.

You must sign the signature strip on the back of your Corporate Card as soon as you receive it.

If your Corporate Card is lost or stolen, if you suspect that it has been used by someone other than you, or that someone else knows your PIN, password or other security information, you must tell us as soon as you can by emailing or calling us on our 24 hour lost and stolen card helpline found in Section 12. We will take immediate steps to try to prevent your Corporate Card from being used.

Treat your Corporate Card like cash. If it is lost or stolen, you may lose some or all of the money on your Corporate Card.

Upon request, we will investigate any disputed transactions or other misuse of your Corporate Card. We may need more information and assistance from you for this. We will immediately refund the transaction amount and associated charges that were not authorised by you, provided you have kept your Corporate Card and PIN secure, you have not acted fraudulently, and you have acted with reasonable care. However, if the investigation shows that any disputed transaction was authorised by you, that you did not keep your Corporate Card or PIN secure, or that you have acted fraudulently, we may reverse the refund and charge you an administration fee to your Current Account.

7 Online account / Mobile app

Online account / Mobile app is safe and convenient if you take a number of simple precautions. Please be sure to follow the advice given below.

Keep your PC/Mobile telephone/Tablet secure, you must let us know if these are lost or stolen. Use up-to-date anti-virus and spyware software and a personal firewall.

Keep your password secret.

We (or the police) will never contact you to ask you for your online account password or card PIN.

Treat emails received from senders claiming to be us with caution and be wary of emails or calls asking you for any personal security details.

Always access our website by typing our website address into your web browser. Never go to our website from a link in an email and then enter personal details.

Once you have logged in to the Mobile app, do not leave your mobile device unattended or let any else use your mobile device. Also ensure that you log out of the Mobile app once you have finished and do not leave the Mobile app running in the background whilst logged in.

You may be responsible for unauthorised payments made from your accounts if you have not kept your mobile devices and your security details safe.

You should also tell us if your mobile telephone is lost or stolen; you know or suspect that someone else has access to your text messages; or your mobile telephone number changes.

14 Compensation

The Corporate Card is an electronic money product and although it is a product regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). No other compensation scheme exists to cover losses claimed in connection with the Corporate Card. This means in the unlikely event that Fair Payments Limited becomes insolvent the funds held on your Corporate Card may become valueless and unusable and as a result you may lose your money. However as a responsible e-money issuer, Fair Payments Limited ensures that, once it has received your funds, they are deposited into a secure account specifically for the purpose of redeeming transactions made by your card. In the unlikely event that Fair Payments Limited becomes insolvent, these funds should be protected on your behalf.

15 Assignment / transfer

We may assign the benefit and burden of these terms and conditions to another company at any time, on giving you at least 60 days prior notice. If we do this, your rights will not be affected.

We may transfer your Corporate Card facility to a card issuer other than Fair Payments Limited at any time, on giving you at least 60 days prior notice. If there are new terms and conditions, we will provide these to you. Unless you advise us within the 60 day period that you do not want the new Corporate Card, you agree that we can transfer the balance on your existing Fair Everywhere Corporate Card to the new card when you activate it.
