Terms and Conditions - Personal | BuildMyCreditScore A

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using Currensea

These legal terms are between you and Currensea and by using the Currensea card and Account, you agree to them. Where you sign up on behalf of a business, these terms will apply to both you and the business. You should read this document along with our Privacy Policy. It’s important that you understand these T&Cs, so if you have any questions please contact us at help@currensea.com or call 020 3319 6588 and we will be happy to explain.

What is Currensea?

We are Currensea, a payment service that lets you connect your existing Bank Account to your Currensea card. The Currensea platform powers a number of different Currensea Services. The specific Currensea Services available to you will be shown when you sign up to Currensea.

This bit is important: when you create a Currensea Account, it is not a bank account. It is a payment card and online dashboard or mobile app, connected to your Bank Account via Open Banking. You can only have one Currensea Account in your name or, in your business’ name. Therefore:

any reference in these terms or on our website to your “Currensea Account” means your Currensea card and the online dashboard or mobile app
any reference in these terms or on our website to your “Bank Account” means your separate bank account which is linked to your Currensea Account
any reference in these terms or on our website to your “Card” or “Currensea card” means your Currensea Mastercard debit card (this may be a physical or virtual card depending on what you choose when you sign up)
You must have an active direct debit when you authorise the payment until the payment has been debited from your linked bank account
for other defined terms please see the glossary at the end of these T&Cs

How to contact us

You can reach us by email at help@currensea.com or via the contact form on our website and in your Currensea dashboard.

How Currensea works

When you sign up to Currensea, you link your Bank Account through your bank's secure online banking platform or mobile application. We perform a check on your linked Bank Account to ensure it meets our eligibility criteria. Once linked, you provide us with the authority to debit your linked Bank Account for transactions made using your Currensea card. Authorised spend using your Currensea card, will be taken as consent to debit your linked Bank Account for the GBP/£ equivalent amount, based on the exchange rate.

For each transaction made, we will send an email to the email address you have provided, identifying the merchant and the amount of the transaction. Where used abroad, the email will also show the exchange rate used and the GBP/£ amount that will be debited from your Bank Account.

You have also authorised us to access information from your Bank Account, based on the usage conditions in our Privacy Policy. This authorisation and your Bank Account link is reconfirmed by you each time you access the App or use your Currensea card. You can update your linked Bank Accounts via the App at any time.

Costs of using Currensea

Currensea is a platform powering different Currensea Services. Costs for these are:

Currensea Direct Debit Travel Card

The Currensea Direct Debit Travel Card is a debit card designed to save you money on international purchases. Our consumer rates can be found here and our business rates can be found here.

Please note that the rate may change throughout the day, but we will let you know what rate has been applied to your transaction in your confirmation email. You can also check the rate via the transaction list in your Currensea dashboard or mobile app.

We don’t charge any fees to use your Currensea card abroad. However, an additional rate applies to ATM withdrawals over a certain amount per month, depending on your pricing plan. Please see our ratestable for more information. Please note, some ATM providers may charge a separate transaction fee.

For money transfers, there is a flat fee per transfer, please check the rates table below. We will let you know how much each transfer will cost before you complete the payment.

BuildMyCreditScore A Debit Card

The BuildMyCreditScore A Debit Card is a debit card designed to help build your credit score through everyday spend, in addition to providing all the benefits of the Currensea Essential plan. There is a charge for the BuildMyCreditScore A Debit Card of £4.99 per month. You can cancel your BuildMyCreditScore A Debit Card at any time, though you will not be refunded for any month or part of a month during which you cancel your subscription. If you use your BuildMyCreditScore A Debit Card to make purchases in foreign currencies or for money transfers, additional fees may apply. Our consumer rates can be found here.

We don’t charge any fees to use your BuildMyCreditScore Debit Card abroad. However, an additional rate applies to ATM withdrawals over a certain amount per month, depending on your pricing plan. Please see our Rates table for more information. Please note, some ATM providers may charge a separate transaction fee.

Using Currensea

When using your Currensea card to make a transaction, you must have enough funds available in your linked Bank Account. We’ll check the balance of your Bank Account to ensure there are sufficient funds before approving the transaction. Once a transaction has been authorised, we are immediately entitled to collect the funds which will be collected from your bank account via Direct Debit or Faster Payment. If we are unable to collect the funds from your Bank Account, we may charge you for late payment. Your Currensea Card is not a credit card and is not intended for borrowing.

You will need the Currensea app to authenticate online payments. If you don’t have the app then we may send an SMS to your registered mobile. This isn’t always reliable if you are not in the UK so we strongly suggest you download the app if possible.

When transferring funds abroad, you will need to have the relevant amount of funds in your bank account. These funds will be transferred using Open Banking during the transaction via the dashboard or app. We may ask for information about the payment you are making or where the funds are from. Currensea does not accept any liability if you enter the incorrect beneficiary details and the transaction is successful. Therefore, we urge you to check and confirm the details before making any payments.

When using a business Currensea card you must ensure that the business has sufficient funds available in the linked Bank Account. If we are unable to collect the funds or the payment was not authorised by the directors (for a Ltd), members (for a LLP) or partners (for a partnership), they are also liable to cover the payment. Directors, members and partners must therefore be made aware of these terms before signing up for your business Currensea card.

If the Direct Debit or Faster Payment is unsuccessful, we’ll contact you regularly and keep trying to collect the funds, or request that these are sent to us via Faster Payment. If we have still not received the funds after 7 days, we will charge a late payment fee of up to £35 and apply a compounded monthly fee of 25% on funds outstanding after 30 days (at the original unsuccessful payment date, and which will include the late payment fee). Your Currensea card will be blocked until outstanding funds are repaid. Currensea reserves the right to refer any outstanding payments, including any additional fees, to a third party. If further fees are applied by those third parties, these will also be added to the balance. Outstanding payments may be reported to credit reference agencies and negatively impact your personal or business credit score.

You can keep track of how much you are spending via the transaction list in your Currensea dashboard or mobile app.

Spend on your Currensea card is subject to our Fair Use Policy. We may block a transaction if:

we suspect any criminal or fraudulent activity on your Currensea card (to protect you)
we’re not legally allowed to process the transaction
the transaction takes you over your Currensea spend limits
you don’t have enough funds in your linked Bank Account
we’ve had to apply a fee due to uncollected funds
your spend is not in-line with our Fair Use Policy
the transaction is for a non-permitted purchase. Details of non-permitted purchases can be found in our Fair Use Policy

If we do block a transaction, we'll let you know as soon as possible via email. Therefore, please ensure your contact details are correct.

Limits

Spend limits will be based on your balance and transaction history, as well as other profile or business information.

Your spend limits can be viewed in your Currensea dashboard or mobile app. These limits may change over time, and we will let you know if they do. Please note, your Currensea card cannot be used for ATM withdrawals in the UK.

Please contact us at help@currensea.com if you want to discuss your limits.

Keeping your card safe

You must always keep your Currensea card and its details safe and never let anyone else use them. You should memorise your PIN and other security information and keep them secret at all times.

You must only ever reveal your card number to make a transaction, report the loss or theft of the card, or if we ask you to. We’ll never contact you to ask you for your passwords or full security details. When we contact you, we’ll always check we’re corresponding with the right person by asking you several security questions associated with your Currensea Account.

If your Currensea card is lost or stolen, or you see unrecognised transactions, you must freeze it immediately via your Currensea dashboard or mobile app and contact us at help@currensea.com as soon as possible. If you need a new card, we may charge you £5 for a replacement.

We’ll usually refund you for any unrecognised transactions, unless:

you didn't keep your Currensea card and PIN safe (as we have told you above)
you broke the terms of these T&Cs or website Terms of Use
the unrecognised transactions are over 13 months old
you acted fraudulently or with intent or gross negligence
the losses are not the direct result of our actions

Authorised transactions

All spend using your Currensea card is deemed as authorised, thereby giving us the authority to take the funds from your linked Bank Account via Direct Debit or Faster Payment. This means you must always have an active direct debit.

You will receive an email notification each time a transaction takes place using your Currensea card or a daily summary of transactions. If you did not authorise the transaction, you must freeze your card via your Currensea dashboard or mobile app immediately and contact us at help@currensea.com as soon as possible. If you have been a victim of fraud, we will usually refund any money you have lost, unless you acted fraudulently or with gross negligence (as listed above).

Purchase protection

For your protection, Currensea supports Mastercard™ chargebacks. This may help you reclaim funds if:

your goods do not arrive
your goods arrive damaged
your goods are different from how they were described
the merchant has ceased trading

If you need to raise a chargeback, please contact us at help@currensea.com.

Rewards and Benefits

We may offer rewards and benefits for things like referring a friend or using your Currensea card with specific merchants. We reserve the right to withdraw or change these offers at any time without notice.

We expect you to enter accurate information when required by our partners in order to collect associated benefits or rewards. Failure to do so may result in the reward being declined or removed.

Our Currensea Direct Debit Travel Card Plans

We offer plans for both personal customers and business customers.
Details of our personal plans can be found here, if you’re looking for our business plan please check here.

When you subscribe to one of our paid plans, you are committed for 12 months. Payment is collected via your Currensea Direct Debit. If you choose to end the agreement before the 12-month term has elapsed, you will be charged for any outstanding payments. You can upgrade your plan at any time through your Currensea dashboard or mobile app.

Your subscription will automatically renew after 12 months. To prevent this, please get in touch at least 30 days before your subscription is due to end.

Giving back

Our Giving Back feature provides a simple and convenient way to give back to a charity of your choice. This includes environmental charities which allows you to offset some of the environmental impact associated with your travels. You can find out more about Giving Back here.

We can withdraw or change the terms of this initiative at any time, without letting you know in advance.

The Giving Back feature may not be available for all customers, and we do not guarantee that you will be able to make donations to your chosen charity for the duration of your agreement with us.

When you choose to make donations to a charity you also agree that the charity can contact you from time to time with information about the good works your donations are helping them to do. You can opt out of receiving this information at any time.

How to make a complaint

If you have a complaint, please contact us at help@currensea.com and we'll do our best to fix the problem.

If you're still not happy, you can refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. For more details, you can visit their website at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

Making changes to this agreement

This agreement will be available on our website and through your Currensea dashboard or mobile app. If we make any changes, we'll give you two months' notice (unless the change is urgent or due to legal requirements).

If you don't agree to these changes, let us know by contacting us at help@currensea.com. Once we have checked there are no uncollected payments, we'll close your Currensea Account.

Ending the agreement

To close your Currensea Account and cancel your Currensea card, you need to get in touch with us by emailing help@currensea.com. Cancelling your direct debit is not the same as ending your agreement with us. We’ll need to ensure there are no uncollected payments before we can end the agreement. Once we've ended it, your Currensea card won't work and you won't be able to access your Currensea dashboard or mobile app.

We can end the Currensea agreement (and stop providing any services) by giving you at least two months' notice. We may end the agreement or stop you using your Currensea card immediately (and retain any subscription paid) if we believe you've:

broken the terms of this agreement or website Terms of Use
used your Currensea Account to break or attempt to break the law
given us false or inaccurate information at any time
put us in a position where we might break the law
been abusive to anyone at Currensea or a member of our community
tried to access a Currensea Account other than your own
allowed anyone else access to your Currensea card, Currensea dashboard or mobile app
attempted to get around usage restrictions set by your Bank Account

Cashback

These Cashback Terms and Conditions form an agreement between you and us, Currensea Limited (referred to in this Agreement as Currensea, or “us”, “we” and “our”). We recommend that you read these Terms and Conditions carefully.

By registering to use, and/or access any part of our cashback services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

These Terms and Conditions operate alongside our Privacy Policy, and govern your access to, interaction with and use of our services, including our website, mobile application, and cashback programme(s) and any further or supplemental services we may invite you to use or participate in from time to time.

Currensea Limited

When you start using our cashback offers, you are bound by these terms.
Our registered company details are as follows:

Company Name – Currensea Limited

Registered Address – 4 Claridge Court, Lower Kings Road, Berkhamsted, United Kingdom, HP4 2AF

Our Services

Our services allow you to earn cashback on transactions that you make on participating merchant’s websites. This cashback forms part of a sum of money paid to us by the relevant merchant in the form of commission. For the avoidance of doubt, if, despite your use of our services, we do not receive the anticipated commission for any transaction(s) for any reason, we will have no liability to pay the cashback for that transaction(s) to you.
We reserve the right to add, remove or change participating merchants, or methods of earning cashback at any time and in our sole discretion. Furthermore, the rate of cashback, along with any specific restrictions or terms and conditions, may change from time to time. The current offers and terms will be displayed clearly on our website and mobile application. Any transaction you undertake will be subject to the published terms and conditions at the time of the transaction which may differ from those published at a sooner or later date.
On participating websites:
1. When you visit a merchant’s website by clicking through from our site, the visit is tracked using cookies and other technologies and credited to our services.
2. When you make a purchase having clicked through from our site, this is tracked – provided that you complete the purchase in a single uninterrupted browsing session.
3. When the merchant confirms that the transaction has taken place, and that any period for the transaction to be cancelled, refunded or otherwise reversed has passed, the merchant pays a commission to us – from which we allocate you a reward in the form of cashback.
Card-linked offers:
1. Your Currensea card is automatically linked to all available card-linked offers listed on our “Shopping Offers” page. Our innovative approach eliminates the hassle of you activating offers individually.
2. By making a purchase using your Currensea card from participating merchants, you accept these Terms and Conditions, and agree that Currensea may share your transaction data, including transaction date, time and amount, with the merchants and our Third Party Service Providers to facilitate the cashback reward. Currensea will not share or disclose any of your personal information without your consent. Cardholder(s) may opt out at any time by contacting help@currensea.com.
3. You are eligible to earn cashback when you use your Currensea card to make a Qualified Purchase. A “Qualifying Purchase” is a purchase from the participating Merchant using a Currensea Card that satisfies the terms associated with a Card Linked Offer and these Terms and Conditions.

Using Our Service

You may register one account, you may not register multiple accounts in your name.
Transactions may not be confirmed immediately, and/or cashback may not be visible for 90 days or more. During this period, any cashback is in suspense until such time as all statutory or other permitted periods have passed within which a transaction may be reversed or refunded, including but not limited to product returns or booking cancellations. In circumstances where the qualifying transaction is reversed or refunded, some or all of the pending cashback will be removed from your account.
Once cashback has been confirmed, it will be shown as cashback earned in your account and the cashback will be added to the “Earnings” section of your dashboard. The balance does not represent sums of money held as deposits on your account – rather it represents a balance which may be converted into a payment to you, if and when you request this. Where you do request this, it may take up to 2 working days for the cashback to show in your linked bank account.
We are not in any way liable for the use of your card at a participating venue or elsewhere, nor for any issues you may encounter with the particular merchant or venue. Furthermore, we are not liable for any errors or omissions in rewards of cashback, including but not limited to issues arising from a lack of accuracy of information we may receive from a participating merchant or venue.
Cashback can only be earned on card transactions made with your Currensea card.
You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any terms attached to an advertised offer. There can be various reasons that a transaction with a participating merchant or venue may not be properly detected or verified and your use of the services is subject to your acceptance that there may be transactions which are not ultimately credited with cashback. If you believe that a transaction and resulting cashback has not properly been recorded and accrued to your account, you should contact help@currensea.com within 30 days of the disputed transaction taking place. We will then aim to investigate any disputes within 30 days.
The reasons cashback may not accrue include, but are not limited to, technical problems with e-commerce systems, and/or payment processing technology. It may also be that steps required of you and provided for in the terms and conditions have not been observed. You accept that while we use reasonable care and skill to operate our services, neither we nor our participating merchants can be held liable for rewards not accruing despite our reasonable efforts. Our decision in each such matter will be final. You must lodge a missing cashback claim with help@currensea.com within 30 days from the date of the transaction, this includes any untracked or incorrect payments. For declined claims, you must contact us within 30 days of the cashback being declined.
Where we require your assistance in providing information in respect of a transaction or your use of any of our services, you agree to provide all reasonable information and assistance we may require, promptly and accurately.
We further unconditionally reserve the right to not pay, or to require that cashback is forfeited where:

1. A commission is received by us in relation to a transaction which has not been completed on your Currensea card.
2. Commission is not received by us as anticipated from a participating merchant for any reason.
3. The transaction is cancelled, refunded or otherwise reversed after it takes place, for example where a product is returned.
4. We received a sum(s) from a merchant relating to an account which has been:

1. Suspended.
2. Associated with any fraud or breach of these terms.
3. Used to make purchases for other persons beyond that permitted in our discretion.
