If you are in doubt whether a message is genuine, you should contact WALCY Customer Services.

5.6 Failure to comply with condition 5.5 may affect your ability to claim any losses in the event that we can show that you have intentionally failed to keep the information safe or you have acted fraudulently, with undue delay, or with gross negligence. In all other circumstances, your maximum liability shall be as set out below.

5.7 You must change your password regularly (at least every three (3) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your WALCY Platform Account. You should not choose a password that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about you or a password that has a meaning. You should ensure that you never allow anyone to access your WALCY Platform Account or watch you accessing your WALCY Platform Account. You must comply with the security procedures we tell you about from time to time.

We will notify you of any suspension or restriction and of the reasons for such suspension or restriction in advance or, where we are unable to do so, immediately after the suspension or restriction has been imposed unless notifying you would be unlawful or compromise our reasonable security interests. We will lift the suspension and/or the restriction as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension and/or restriction have ceased to exist.

5.10 If we think your WALCY Platform Account is at risk of fraud or a security threat, we will use the fastest and most secure way of contacting you using the details you have provided to tell you what you need to do to help deal with that risk.

5.11 You must always ensure that your login details are not stored by or cached, or otherwise recorded.

5.12 You must notify us of any change in the business details you have previously provided to us as soon as possible (including where there is a change of Control of you) by contacting WALCY Customer Services or updating the details in your WALCY Platform Account. Where there is a change of Control of you, such notification must include details of the new Controller for our consideration. You will be liable for any loss that directly results from any failure to notify us of a change in your business. We will need to verify your new business details and may request relevant KYC information/documents from you as applicable.

5.13 We reserve the right at any time to satisfy ourselves as to your business details (for example, by requesting relevant original documents), including for the purposes of preventing fraud and/or money laundering. You will respond to such requests as soon as reasonably possible.

We do not provide loading services and are not responsible for the funding payment until the relevant funds are received by us.

WALCY Global Accounts

7.3 We will contact you if you are eligible for a WALCY Global Account. If you wish to apply for a WALCY Global Account, you will need to contact WALCY Customer Services and provide us with any information that we request so that we can identify you, verify your identity, and conduct fraud checks, sanctions checks, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism checks, and any other checks as required by Applicable Law and our internal procedures.

7.6 The electronic money held on your Wallet and/or WALCY Global Account does not earn any interest. Electronic money accounts are not regulated bank accounts. In entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) does not apply to your Wallet and/or WALCY Global Account. In the unlikely event that we become insolvent, you may lose the electronic money held in your Wallet. However, UK national legislation applies to us, and these are designed to ensure the safety and liquidity of funds deposited in electronic money accounts.

7.7 The electronic money in your Wallet and/or WALCY Global Account belongs to the legal entity that is registered as the WALCY Platform Account holder. Except for the Authorised User(s) who may access the WALCY Services on your behalf, no person or entity other than the WALCY Platform Account holder has any rights in relation to the funds held in a Wallet and/or WALCY Global Account.

7.8 Your Wallet and/or WALCY Global Account may be subject to limits related to uploads, payments, and withdrawals limits, depending on your country of residence, the country where a third party is paying you from, regulatory requirements, any pending verification queries related to your Wallet and/or WALCY Global Account and other factors used by us to determine such limits from time to time at our sole discretion.

(a). Exchange Now: where you exchange money instantly at a mid-market or best available rate as determined by us; or

(b). Exchange Later: where you can swap between two currencies at a price agreed between you and us or other businesses on the WALCY Platform.

Exchange Now

8.2 Before initiating an FX Transaction via Exchange Now, you will be provided with a quote detailing the amount to be debited either directly from your Wallet, WALCY Global Account, or your Nominated Account, at your selection, and the exchange amount to be provided, along with the Exchange Rate. You acknowledge that a price quotation pursuant to this request does not constitute an offer to enter into a FX transaction.

8.3 Your WALCY Global Account is an electronic money account with a unique virtual IBAN that is provided via our Payment Services Providers and allows you to:

(a). make a Payment Transaction to a Beneficiary in accordance with clause 9 below; or

However, we reserve the right to reject your offer to enter into a FX Transaction for any reason, including but not limited to where you have exceeded or would exceed a predetermined limit imposed on you under this Agreement, where you do not have cleared funds within your Wallet, WALCY Global Account, or Nominated Account to facilitate the transaction, or where we have provided you with a wrong quote, or where the market rates change, in which cases we may also provide you with a new quote.

8.4 When initiating a FX Transaction, you will need to ensure that sufficient cleared funds have been transferred to your Wallet or WALCY Global Account (in accordance with the process set out in clause 8.2). In the event that a FX Transaction is initiated to a value greater than cleared funds within your Wallet or WALCY Global Account and sufficiently cleared funds have not been transferred to your Wallet or WALCY Global Account within the timeframe specified in the WALCY Platform when initiating a FX Transaction, the FX Transaction will be canceled and we may charge you an administration Fee.

8.5 We may change the quoted Exchange Rate at any time, and said change shall come into effect immediately without notice. You acknowledge that you do not have the right to object to such a change to the Exchange Rate.

8.6 Where you have made an error when initiating a FX Transaction, you agree to make a request by contacting WALCY Customer Services as soon as practicable to either correct or cancel the FX Transaction.

8.7 Where the FX Transaction fails or is canceled for any reason, including where the FX Transaction is rejected by one of our Payment Services Providers, or pursuant to clause 8.6 above, we do not guarantee that the amount or currency returned to you shall equate the sell amount or currency you sent us when you initiated the FX Transaction. Reversal or chargeback Fees may apply in this instance, which will be deducted in accordance with clauses 16.3 and 16.4.

8.8 We will issue an electronic confirmation via email and notify you via the WALCY Platform once the FX Transaction has been concluded. Failure by us to issue a confirmation will not prejudice or affect the relevant FX Transaction. We will not bear any liability whatsoever resulting from the failure to issue a confirmation.

Exchange Later

8.9 If:

(a). you make an offer for a FX Transaction via Exchange Later, and it is accepted by us or another WALCY customer via the WALCY Platform prior to its expiry or withdrawal by you; or

(b). you accept an offer for a FX Transaction via Exchange Later placed by another WALCY customer on the WALCY Platform prior to its expiry or withdrawal by said WALCY customer,

8.10 In order to complete a FX Transaction by accepting an offer via Exchange Later under 8.7(b) above, you must either (a) send the relevant funds to the designated WALCY bank account as instructed via the WALCY Platform, or (b) fund the FX Transaction via your eWallet or WALCY Global Account before closing of business on the same Business Day you accepted the counterparty’s offer.

8.11 If this clause 8 is breached and/or a FX Transaction via Exchange Later is defaulted by you after an offer you made has been accepted by a counterparty or after a counterparty offer has been accepted by you, your access to the WALCY Platform may be restricted, and you may be completely or partially restricted from making FX Transactions via Exchange Later in the future.

8.12 We shall not be responsible to you and shall bear no liability whatsoever for any failure of another WALCY customer to complete a FX Transaction with you via Exchange Later.

9. Payment Transactions

9.1. Within the WALCY Platform, you can select to make a Payment Transaction to a Beneficiary before initiating a FX Transaction in accordance with clause 8 above.

9.2. To initiate a Payment Transaction, you will need to add a Beneficiary in the WALCY Platform by either selecting an existing Beneficiary or adding a new Beneficiary in accordance with the requirements listed on the WALCY Platform from time to time. You should only send money to a Beneficiary you know, and it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the Beneficiary details you have provided are correct. Once the funds are debited from your Wallet or WALCY Global Account (as applicable in accordance with clause 8.2), you will not be able to cancel or reverse the Payment Transaction.

9.3. You can carry out a transfer to a Beneficiary residing in any of the countries currently supported by us. To view a list of these countries, please contact the WALCY Customer Services. We may make changes to this list at any time without following the procedure set out in clause 22 of this Agreement.

9.4. When initiating a Payment Transaction, you will need to ensure that sufficient cleared funds have been transferred to your Wallet or WALCY Global Account (in accordance with the process set out in clause 8.2). In the event that a Payment Transaction is initiated to a value greater than cleared funds within your Wallet or WALCY Global Account, the transaction will not be processed.

9.5. Payment Transactions may be subject to certain limits due to security, regulatory, and legal requirements. We are not responsible for any loss or delay resulting from the impact of these limits. You should be aware that the Beneficiary of a payment may also be subject to withdrawal limits and that this may affect the Beneficiary’s access to the funds you intend to send.

9.6. Subject to clauses 9.5 and 9.7 and except where a Payment Services Provider or we are required to undertake further transaction monitoring checks, we shall ensure that all Payment Transactions are settled within three (3) Business Days provided that we have received the relevant funds from you before 17:00 on a Business Day. If we receive the relevant funds after 17:00 on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, the funds will be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

9.7. To transfer money via a Payment Transaction to a Beneficiary, we may use one of our Payment Services Providers to complete the transfer. Therefore, when providing this service, the funds will be instantly credited to the relevant Payment Services Provider. The Payment Services Provider shall then be responsible for ensuring the onward transmission of the payment to the Beneficiary. Without prejudice to clause 17, our obligations under this Agreement for the onward transmission of funds shall be complete once such funds have been credited by us to the relevant Payment Services Provider. Therefore, once such credit has been made by us, we shall not be responsible for the onward transmission of such funds by that Payment Services Provider.

9.8. If for any reason we are unable to process or complete a Payment Transaction, you will be informed in a timely manner, and where possible, we may provide you with the reasons for the refusal and an explanation of how to correct any errors.

10. Withdrawals

10.1. You can request a Withdrawal of all or part of the funds held in your Wallet(s) or WALCY Global Account at any time via the WALCY Platform. Withdrawal methods are payment services provided, at least in part, by third-party financial institutions (for example, the bank where you hold your Nominated Account). We do not guarantee the availability of any particular Withdrawal method and may make changes to or discontinue a particular Withdrawal method at any time as long as there is at least one Withdrawal method available to you.

10.2. Where the Withdrawal payment is received by you through the involvement of third-party financial institutions (such as the bank where you hold your Nominated Account), we shall not be responsible for the Withdrawal payment once the withdrawn funds are received by your third party financial institutions.

10.3. Your Wallet(s) or WALCY Global Account may be subject to Withdrawal limits. These limits can be based on the legal and regulatory requirements of the jurisdiction you are in. Before uploading any funds into your Wallet(s) or WALCY Global Account, you must ensure that your current withdrawal and spending limits meet your Withdrawal and spending requirements, as we legally cannot allow you to exceed these limits. If you require any further information on such limits, please contact WALCY Customer Services.

10.4. We may decline a Withdrawal request if it exceeds the current limit and if you have any outstanding identity verification requests on your Wallet(s) or WALCY Global Account. In such circumstances, we would require you to satisfy any outstanding verification requests prior to allowing a Withdrawal of funds or to otherwise cooperate with us as required to satisfy such requests.

10.5. For the purposes of a Withdrawal transaction, we are a payer and not a payment services provider.

10.6.You must not make a Withdrawal to a bank account if you are not the named holder of a said bank account.

10.7. You must ensure that the payment details confirmed by you when withdrawing funds are correct and complete. We will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong account where this is due to you providing and/or confirming incorrect payment details. You must ensure that the account number, sort code, IBAN, and/or BIC/SWIFT are correct. If you have withdrawn funds to the wrong account, you may request that we assist you in reclaiming the funds. However, we may charge you an administration Fee, and we cannot guarantee that the reclaim efforts will be successful.

11. Receiving Funds in your WALCY Global Account

11.1. If you receive funds in your WALCY Global Account, a notification message will be sent via the WALCY Platform and via email. Each transaction is given a unique transaction ID and shown in the transaction history. We will not alter or amend the information displayed in your online transaction history. You should regularly reconcile incoming and outgoing payments with your own records.

11.2. You should be aware that receipt of funds to your WALCY Global Account does not necessarily mean that these transactions cannot be reversed.

This policy applies to every transaction made from, made to, from or with Walcy’s platform. This policy document is subject to amendments, and the updated policies shall be published on Walcy’s website. The continuity of usage of Walcy’s service vestiges the acknowledgment and acceptance of the application of our disputes and refunds policy.

1.1. What qualifies as a dispute?

A dispute in the context of Walcy’s transaction refers to a situation where you as a user can challenge the validity or correctness of a transaction. If you haven’t received what you paid for, are experiencing issues with a purchase, or suspect your account has been compromised, you can file a dispute. The source of disputes can be from illicit transactions, detected fraudulent transactions, billing/invoice discrepancies, and product/service issues.
For pending transactions, simply go to the transaction details and select “Report issue” to start the dispute process.

1.2. Turnaround Time for Transactions

The standard turnaround time (TAT) for processing transactions can vary depending on the currencies involved. Generally, transactions are completed within 2-4 working days. However, specific TATs may differ based on factors such as the destination country, the banks involved, payment processing systems involved, and the type of currency.

1.3. Fees and Contractual Agreements

The fees associated with transactions and services are based on the contractual agreement between Walcy and its clients. These fees can vary from client to client, reflecting the customized nature of our service agreements. It is important for clients to review their contractual terms to understand the specific fees applicable to their transactions.

2. BEFORE DISPUTING A TRANSACTION, PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

2.1. Review the merchant’s terms and condition document:

Some purchases, for instance, flight tickets, movie reservations, car rentals, event bookings and hotel reservations, the merchant’s terms might render the transaction to be non-refundable.

2.2. Try dealing the transaction issue with the merchant first:

We recommend dealing first with the merchant is the foremost way to deal a dispute and is much faster way to get your funds reverted to you. However, albeit merchants are non-responsive, it ensures you have at least tried for managing the dispute.

2.3. Congregate Evidence:

For us a detailed information about the transaction and your efforts to communicate with the merchant will assist us in building a robust case for your dispute.
Collect evidence that provides valuable insights into your issue, such as transaction details, the anticipated delivery date, and any correspondence exchanged with the merchant.
We encourage you to upload photos, screenshots, and PDF documents to support your case. Please note that we are do not to accept video or audio recordings; therefore, we recommend using email or text messages for your communications with the merchant.
