The Prepaid Card will be restricted to only work with certain merchants; these have been notified by us to the Organisation separately. This list may change from time to time and the Organisation will be notified accordingly.
1.2 Before using the Prepaid Card you need to make sure there are enough funds loaded on it for the payment you wish to make with it. Any balance of funds on the Card can be returned to the WEX Europe Account held on behalf of the Organisation for the Organisation to use for loading new Prepaid Cards.
1.3 Your Prepaid Card is not a credit card and is not in any way connected to your bank account. You will not earn any interest on any funds loaded on your Prepaid Card or held in the WEX Europe Account.
2. APPLYING FOR AND ACTIVATING YOUR PREPAID CARD
2.1 To apply for a Prepaid Card you must be at least 18 years old and a UK resident. We may ask to see the evidence you or your Organisation hold to evidence who you are and your address. For Organisations we may ask to see evidence of the identity of Directors, major Shareholders and/or contract signatories. We may ask for documentary evidence to prove this and/or we may carry out checks on you and your Organisation electronically. Such evidence may be provided on your behalf by your Organisation.
2.2 In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency who may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected.
2.3 The card can only be used by you. It is not transferable and you are not permitted to allow any other person to use the card.
2.4 By using the Prepaid Card you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
3. LOADING YOUR PREPAID CARD

3.2 Funds will be made available to you or your Organisation in your WEX Europe Account by 8:00pm on the Business Day they are received in to the relevant bank account (as notified to the Organisation separately) as cleared funds, provided they are received by 5:00pm on that Business Day. Funds received after 5:00pm will be loaded in to your WEX Europe Account the next Business Day by 8:00pm.

4. USING YOUR PREPAID CARD
4.1 You can use the Prepaid Card to make online or telephone payments to merchants who accept MasterCard.

This list may change from time to time and you or the Organisation will be notified accordingly.
4.2 A Limit may be applied to the amount of the payment which can be made with your Prepaid Card for your protection. Such limit (if any) has been notified to you or the Organisation (as the case may be) separately.
4.3 A Prepaid Card can be requested by you on behalf of your Organisation through the WEX Europe online portal, provided you have been granted the relevant access rights. Prepaid Cards can also be automatically requested and used by your Organisation’s business systems to automate the payment of suppliers, provided your Organisation has carried out the relevant technical integration with us and been provided with the relevant security information by us.
4.4 Detailed instructions on how to use your Prepaid Card have been notified by us to you or the Organisation separately.
4.5 The payment made using your or your Organisation’s Prepaid Card shall be in the Denominated Currency of the Prepaid Card.

Details of fees have been notified to you or your Organisation (as the case may be) separately.
4.6 We will deduct the value of your payment from the balance on your Prepaid Card as soon as it is made. We will also deduct any applicable fees as soon as they become payable by you. These may be deducted from the Prepaid Card or the WEX Europe Account balance. See Section 12 for information about fees.
4.7 The Prepaid Card belongs to us. We may ask you not to use your Prepaid Card and to destroy the information which your Prepaid Card consists of. We may at any time suspend, restrict or cancel your Prepaid Card or refuse to issue or replace a Prepaid Card for reasons relating to the following:
- we are concerned about security of your account or Prepaid Cards we have issued to you;
- we suspect your account is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner;
- or we need to do so to comply with the law.
If we do this, we will tell you as soon as we can or are permitted to do so after we have taken these steps. We will issue you with a replacement Prepaid Card if after further investigations we believe that such circumstances no longer apply.
4.8 Like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a payee will accept your Prepaid Card.
4.9 We may refuse to effect a payment:
- if we are concerned about security of your Prepaid Card or we suspect your Prepaid Card is being used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner;
- if sufficient funds are not loaded on your Prepaid Card at the time of a transaction to cover the amount of the payment and any applicable fees;
- if we have reasonable grounds to believe that you are acting in breach of this agreement;
- if we believe that a payment is potentially suspicious or illegal (for example, if we believe that a payment is being made fraudulently);
- or because of errors, failures (whether mechanical or otherwise) or refusals by merchants, payment processors or payment schemes processing payments.
- If it would result in the Organisation, WEX Europe or MasterCard breaching national or European Law
If we refuse to authorise a payment, we will, if practicable, tell you why immediately unless it would be unlawful for us to do so. You may correct any information we hold and which may have caused us to refuse a payment by contacting us on 0845 200 37786 or +44 203 059 1207 from outside the UK.

To do so, you or your Organisation must send us an e-mail to your WEX Europe Account Manager requesting redemption and indicating the amount to be redeemed.

10.2 All refunds will be returned to your Organisation or you on the payment instrument that you used to fund the WEX Europe Account. We reserve the right to see proof of your ownership of the payment instrument before transferring the funds to it.

– You are requesting redemption before termination or expiry of this agreement; or

10.4 Where the currency of the refund amount is different to the currency of the payment instrument that you used to fund the WEX Europe Account we will convert this before we refund you. Please note that exchange rates vary and also contain a buy / sell spread and therefore the exchange rate on any refund you receive will differ from the rate when you loaded onto your Prepaid Card. We will apply our standard rate on the day and will inform you of the exchange rate at the time of the refund.
10.5 It should be noted that the funds for redemption can be withheld if there are security or legal reasons for doing so. Refunding Transactions

– the transaction was not authorised under this agreement;
– we are responsible for a transaction which was incorrectly executed and notified to us in accordance with section 8 above;
– a pre-authorised transaction did not specify the exact amount at the time of its authorisation and the amount charged by a supplier is more than you could reasonably have expected taking into account normal spending patterns on the Prepaid Card or the circumstances of the transaction. A claim for a refund in such pre-authorisation circumstances will not be accepted if the amount of the transaction was made available to you at least 4 weeks before the transaction date or if the claim is made more than 8 weeks after being debited to your account.
11. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
11.1 We may change these terms by notifying you by e-mail or other agreed means at least 60 days before the change is due to take effect.

In such circumstances we will refund any balance on the Prepaid Card in accordance with section 10 above and you will not be charged a Refund Fee.

12.6 You agree that once we make this Shortfall known to you, we may charge you for the Shortfall amount. We may charge the amount of the Shortfall from your WEX Europe Account, any other Prepaid Cards that you hold with us, to any other payment method which you may designate at that time, or any payment methods you may have used in the past or have registered with us, or against any funds which you may subsequently load onto your Prepaid Card or on any additional Prepaid Card ordered by you.
