We may verify or re-verify your identity via electronic know-your-customer (e-KYC) processes. Where required, we may also obtain information about you from other sources whether directly or through public and private third parties, in order to verify your identity, your credit history (where required)  and to ascertain the accuracy of information provided by you. We are also required under the Applicable Laws to screen all individuals who use or intend to use the Card against our own internal lists and the relevant money laundering and terrorism financing information sources, as well as global lists or databases provided by local or foreign authorities for the purposes of determining if there are any money laundering or terrorism financing risks in relation to the such individuals.

We further reserve the right to reject, terminate and/or decline your Card application at our sole and absolute discretion and/or if our records show that you have had a bad card account with us in the past in relation to any type of prepaid card issued by BigPay or if any of your previous prepaid card(s) or prepaid card account(s) issued by BigPay has been monitored by us due to unusual, irregular, suspicious, fraudulent and/or unauthorized activities or suspected misuse, or has been blocked, cancelled or terminated by us in relation to the same. Whilst the application for the Card is open to all customers who meet the eligibility criteria, we reserve the right to reject ANY application for the Card and/or to decline to issue a Card at our sole and absolute discretion without assigning any reasons whatsoever, and our decision shall be final and conclusive.

Each time you use the Card to purchase goods or services, you authorize us to deduct your funds from your Card Account.

The Card is non-transferable and shall only be used exclusively by you as the Cardholder. Your Card shall not be pledged by you as security for any purpose whatsoever. You shall not give the Card or your Card Account number to other third parties or allow them to use it for charges, identification or any other purpose.

Your Card usage is limited to a maximum of the Card Limit (depending on which Card Limit we have approved for you). If you opt for any optional services provided by us (if applicable), then you may have to maintain a minimum amount as specified in connection with the use of those services. We may further set certain limits and thresholds for specific use categories (within the Card Limit) which you cannot exceed whether daily, monthly or so on.

Regardless, BigPay will provide you information about pending debits and credits when they become available.

You should frequently review your Card Account to check and verify your Available Balance before using your Card. You must always ensure that there are sufficient funds in your Card Account to pay for each transaction and to cover the total amount transacted on your Card Account, including purchases, recurring transactions, cash withdrawals (subject to any restrictions stipulated or  imposed by us, the MAS or pursuant to Applicable Laws), fees and other charges. If the total amount in your Card account is insufficient, your transaction will be declined and in the case of recurring declined transactions, you would have to make your own arrangements for payment with the recurring merchant. If you have not paid any of the fees (as may be applicable), your Card cannot be used and we will be entitled to block, suspend and/or to terminate your Card account.

Without prejudice to the above, we shall not be responsible for the refusal of any Merchant or member institution of VISA to honor or accept your Card.

Take note, as part of our CDD requirements and security monitoring process, BigPay reserves the right to review your Card Account activities and any Transaction at any point in time in order to protect you and your funds and to ensure the validity, safety and security of your Account against money laundering, terrorism financing, fraudulent or illegal activities. As a provider of financial services, BigPay also plays an important role in the fight against financial crime, money laundering and terrorist financing activities and as a result, the Applicable Laws require us to obtain, verify and record personal and private information about our customers and to conduct periodic account reviews. These processes often include steps that involve additional verification and validation of identity, payment or funding sources and instructions, and of other Transaction information which may require us to contact you further for the relevant information, which may result in delay in the processing of a Transaction until such verification and validation is satisfactorily completed. In the event that your Transaction is subject to any process for additional verification and/or validation (including AML compliance checks), your Transaction may be put on hold while we collect and confirm the source of the funds and complete the verification and validation process.

 

We reserve the right to refuse to process Transactions for certain individuals, including without limitation, individuals from sanctioned or high-risk countries, individuals who have been blacklisted by any financial institutions, licensed banks or e-money issuers in Singapore or abroad, individuals who are included in our internal lists and the relevant money laundering and terrorism financing information sources, as well as global lists or databases provided by local or foreign authorities, and we are not obliged to give reasons for so refusing.

If the Card is used in a manner other than as permitted by this Cardholder Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, we may, at our option and without waiving any of our rights, recognize the transactions and debit or credit the Card accordingly. Any online betting and/or gambling activities are prohibited and you agree that we do not owe you any duty and/ or obligation whatsoever to monitor and block the use of the Card for any unlawful activities. If we do find that your Card has been used for unlawful or fraudulent activity, we shall be entitled to suspend, block and/or terminate the use of the Card immediately without prior notice to you. Notwithstanding the above, BigPay reserves the right to block, suspend or decline any Transaction at its sole and absolute discretion.

Reloading (“Top-up to the Card”)

Additional value may be topped up to your Card subject to the limitations or maximum Card Limit as may be applicable. We may, from time to time, at our sole discretion or as may be deemed necessary, impose limits on the amount that can be topped-up on the Card Account or a minimum top-up amount for each top-up transaction or as may be required by law. You cannot top-up your Card in excess of the maximum Card Limit which has been stipulated and approved for your Card. We shall not be responsible or held liable for any disputes (or loss) in relation to any excess funds if you attempt, have attempted or actually topped-up in excess of the maximum Card Limit, and we reserve the right to take any action that we may deem necessary, including blocking, suspending and/or terminating and cancelling your Card if we find you have persistently attempted to do so, despite the Card Limits stipulated for the Card.

In the event of any excess funds reloaded by you, we will either refund the excess amount by cheque or by depositing it into your designated personal bank account (provided you have given us your banking account details) or via other channels as determined by us or credit the same back into your Card Account if your balance has dropped sufficiently at our sole and absolute discretion and in accordance with our internal company policies. Note that even if you have topped up your Card account in excess of the Card Limit, you can still only transact and use the Card up to the maximum of the Card Limit.

Notwithstanding and irrespective of the above, we reiterate and remind you that you can only reload and top up your Card subject to the limitations or maximum Card Limit(s) that have been stipulated, approved and/or imposed by us, and we reserve the right to take any action as we deem necessary or even terminate and cancel your Card in relation to non-adherence of the same. In addition, we reserve the right to debit your Card for any funds which have been topped up to your Card in excess or erroneously.

All reloads and/or top ups of funds shall not be considered to have been made until all relevant funds have been received and processed as good value by us. Reloading of additional value to the Card may be delayed until we have actually received and processed the actual payment. During such delay, the amount transferred will not be available for you to use. We reserve the right to accept or reject any request to add additional value to the Card or any reload and top-up made onto the Card. Load service fees may be applicable and chargeable by our authorized reload agents.

For all our available Top-Up Channels, please refer to the Mobile App for details. Our Top-Up Channels are not exhaustive and may change or be replaced from time to time.

You agree that we shall not be liable to you in the event of delay in any loading of funds into your Card where such delay is not attributable to our fault.

We reserve the right to suspend, revoke and/or block any reloads or top ups to your Card which we discover and/or which we have been informed by any third parties (including the police, the MAS, VISA and/or other banking institutions or other relevant parties) to be irregular, suspicious, illegal or unauthorized, and we shall be entitled to take any action against you as may be deemed necessary for such transactions, including blocking suspending and/or terminating your Card and Card account.

We do not assume any additional responsibility or obligation in respect of the use of, or any transaction or eventuality involving, the Card Account. The Alert service does not free you from the responsibility of safeguarding the physical security and authorized use of your Card or Card Account, and it does not entail that BigPay will automatically be liable for any unauthorized Transaction(s) that may be charged to the Card Account. The SMS Alert service may be subject to a fee. Please refer to our Fee and Charges section on the Mobile App or our Website for any charges that may be imposed for the SMS Alert service. The SMS Alert service may be subject to additional terms and conditions, please refer to our Website under the SMS Alert service feature for further details.

Disputed Transactions – Goods/Services

We are not responsible and shall not be liable for the goods and services (including their delivery, performance, merchantability or fitness for purpose) purchased with your Card, whether at the Merchant’s premises, written instructions sent by mail, email, facsimile, telephone order, online via the internet or any other means by which you have authorized the use of your Card for the purchase of goods and services. We are further not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, fitness for purpose or any other aspect of the goods or services (including any defects or deficiency in any goods or services) purchased by you from Merchants with your Card. All disputes involving the same should be addressed directly to the Merchants from whom the relevant goods and services were purchased. You agree to settle all disputes directly with the Merchant who honored your Card or the member institution of VISA concerned and you shall pay us all amounts required under this Cardholder Agreement despite such disputes. You shall not be entitled to set-off or counterclaim against us or to withhold payment to us on account of such complaint or under any circumstances whatsoever in respect of your claim against the Merchant or the member institution of VISA. You shall not initiate any claim or take legal action against us for any claim you have against the Merchant or for any issues with regards the delivery, quality, safety, legality, fitness for purpose or any other aspect of the goods or services purchased by you from the Merchant. You should ensure that the transaction amount is correct before you before you sign the transaction, voucher or invoice slip or enter your personal identification number (“PIN”) or other identifying number or password at an electronic banking facility. By signing a transaction, voucher or invoice slip or entering your PIN or other identifying number or password at an electronic banking facility, you indicate your acceptance that the transaction amount is correct. In addition, BigPay reserves the right to block, suspend or decline any Transaction at its sole and absolute discretion.

Internet Transactions

If you use your Card to purchase goods and/or services through the online internet sites or portals, you shall be solely responsible for the security of such use at all times. You agree that the entry of your Card information on the internet shall be sufficient proof of the authenticity of such instructions. We are under no obligation to verify the identity or the authority of the person entering your Card information and we shall not be liable for acting on such use of your Card regardless of whether the person is authorized or unauthorized and regardless of the circumstances prevailing at the time of the transaction. However, we reserve the right not to process any such transaction over the internet if we have any reason to doubt its authenticity or if in our opinion it is suspicious in nature, unlawful or otherwise improper to do so or for any other reason. Notwithstanding the above, BigPay reserves the right to block, suspend or decline any Transaction at its sole and absolute discretion. For all transactions processed via the two factor authentication mechanism, we shall not entertain any disputes from you with regards to the fact that you did not authorize or participate in the transaction nor will you be able to raise a chargeback claim for such transactions which have been processed under the two factor authentication mechanism. In such cases of two factor authentication transactions, we will only allow chargeback due to no authorization, processing errors, service not rendered and other card acceptance violations as stipulated in the VISA card chargeback rules.

ATM Transactions and Personal Identification Number (“PIN”)

Subject to any restrictions stipulated or imposed by us, the MAS or pursuant to Applicable Laws, for the purposes of effecting cash withdrawal using the Card at any ATM under the VISA payment network, you must use your PIN. You may set and change the PIN through the Mobile App or any other mode as determined by us from time to time.

The PIN is strictly confidential and you should never disclose your PIN to any person under any circumstances or by any means whatsoever. You should not keep any written record of your PIN at any place or in any manner which may enable a third party to have access to it and/or make use of your Card. Failure to comply with this requirement will expose you to the consequences of theft and/ or unauthorized use of your Card, for which we will not be in any way be responsible or liable to you. You shall hold us free from all claims and liabilities from all parties whomsoever arising from the use of your PIN whether authorized or otherwise.

Pay without a PIN

Contactless Payment allows you to pay amounts up to SGD300 without entering your PIN on applicable Contactless Readers. You can pay at applicable Contactless Readers which are contactless enabled.

 

The first time you make a Contactless Payment, you may be asked to enter your PIN. After that, you can pay amounts up to SGD300 via the Card’s contactless functionality. When you make a Contactless Payment, you must check the amount and hold your Card against the Contactless Reader. The Contactless Reader will show whether the payment has been successful.

 

We may also require other activation and/or authentication procedures as we may at our sole and absolute discretion prescribe from time to time. When you tap, wave or touch your Card against the Contactless Reader, you are giving authorization for the transaction to be charged to your Card Account and for funds to be deducted from your Card in respect of the said transaction.

 

Cardholder’s may use the Card to effect any number of Contactless Payments on Contactless Readers provided that the value of such Contactless Payment(s) does not exceed the daily limit of SGD300. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cardholder cannot use the Card for any Contactless Payment which exceeds the daily limit of SGD300. The Cardholder must enter his PIN for any transaction in excess of SGD300.

 

After a number of payments, you may be asked to enter your PIN again for security reasons. If Contactless Payments are made after your Card has been lost or stolen, it will be treated in the same manner as stated in the ‘Disclosure of loss of PIN, or Loss, Stolen, or Unauthorized Use of Card’ section below

 

You cannot use the contactless function of the Card or make Contactless Payments for card-not-present transactions, online transactions, e-commerce transactions, recurring bill payments, cash advance transactions, funds transfer transactions, transactions performed or to be performed at any ATM. The Card also cannot be tokenized on mobile devices for any forms of Contactless Payments.

 

Any usage of a Card at any Contactless Reader, if and where permitted by BigPay shall be subject to such terms and conditions as BigPay and VISA may agree from time to time.

 

Disclosure of loss of PIN, Loss, Stolen, or Unauthorized Use of Card

You shall be and remain liable to us for any goods and services supplied by the merchants and cash withdrawals through the use of your Card whether or not you have authorized such usage. You shall use all reasonable precautions to prevent disclosure of the PIN to any unauthorized person or the loss, theft or unauthorized use of your Card.

In the event of disclosure of your PIN to any unauthorized person or the unauthorized use of your Card or your Card is lost or stolen, you must immediately freeze your Card via the Mobile App. Alternatively, you may email us at support.sg@bigpayme.com to cancel your Card Account. You Card will be blocked once you have “frozen” it in the Mobile App. Alternatively, if you may email us at support.sg@bigpayme.com, we will block your Card upon receipt of your notification. You should then send a confirmation in writing to us. As a matter of prudence, we advise you to lodge a police report immediately to substantiate your claim.

We may at our discretion on a case-to-case basis ask you for a copy of the police report confirming the incident. If we do indeed require the police report, and you are not able to provide us with a copy, we may not be able to proceed with our investigations and we shall not be responsible or be held liable for any disputes or loss suffered by you in relation to any transactions incurred from unauthorized usage of the Card. You shall be and remain liable for all transactions incurred from unauthorized usage of the Card, where investigations made by us or the police reveal that you are a party in the procurement of any merchandise or services from the merchants effected through the use of the Card by the use of any unauthorized person. You shall be liable for such unauthorized transaction before we receive written notification of the loss or theft. We may at our absolute discretion, resolve that your liability be limited to SGD1000 provided you are not found to be negligent or have not acted fraudulently.

We shall not be responsible and shall not be liable for any transaction as a result of the loss or theft or misuse of the Card, occurring prior to you reporting the loss or theft of the Card to us.

Without prejudice to our rights and notwithstanding that you may have exercised all reasonable precaution to prevent the loss or theft or unauthorized use of your PIN or your Card, and you have reported the loss or theft or unauthorized use thereof, you shall remain liable to us if you have acted fraudulently or if you were involved in the procurement of goods or services supplied by any merchant, cash advance or ATM transactions through the use of your Card by any person or if you have failed to inform us upon discovering that your PIN or Card has been lost or stolen or used for purposes unauthorized by you.

If you later find the lost or stolen Card, you should not further use the Card but shall cut it into half and dispose of it immediately or return the same to us. Upon the loss or theft of your Card or upon discovery that an unauthorized person or persons have acquired knowledge of the PIN or use of your Card not authorized by you, you may request us to issue a replacement Card and we shall have the right at our sole discretion to accept or to refuse such request without having to assign any reason whatsoever. We are under no obligation to issue a replacement Card automatically following its loss or theft.

Any replacement Card will be subjected to a replacement card fee, unless waived by us at our sole discretion. If we approve your request for a replacement Card, and upon proper verification, we will issue a new Card to you with a new account number. The balance of funds from your previous lost or stolen blocked Card Account will be transferred to the new Card Account accordingly. If we do not issue you a replacement Card, the balance in your lost or stolen Card will be refunded to you (less any applicable fees and charges) after fourteen (14) business days via cheque or by depositing it into your bank account (provided you have given us your banking account details) or in any other manner in accordance with our internal policies. BigPay will refund Available Balances in SGD only.

Card to Card Transfer (P2P)

P2P is not intended to be used for business, commercial or Merchant transactions and such use may be discontinued without notice by us at any time. We may reverse or place a hold on your transactions or place funds in reserve if evidence of business, commercial or Merchant use is discovered. If you receive and accept a P2P transfer, you are liable to us for not only the payment, but also any third-party fees that may result from a later invalidation of that payment for any reason, including, without limitation if you lose a claim or a chargeback, or if the payment is reversed. We reserve the right to charge your payment credential or take any other legal action to collect the funds to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Laws. Use of P2P may subject you to fees, including, without limitation, those from third parties, such as reversal charges or other fees for insufficient funds if your attempted payment is rejected. P2P must be used in compliance with Applicable Laws and may not be used in connection with any illegal or illicit transaction. In addition, payments relating to the following activities are prohibited regardless of whether the activity is illegal in your location: (a) weapons, ammunition or explosives; and (b) gambling, games of skill, lotteries, raffles or fantasy sports. If illegal, illicit or otherwise prohibited transactions are reported or discovered, we reserve the right to take action including without limitation the following, without notice to you: place a hold on your transactions, place your funds in reserve, limit your ability to use payments features through the BigPay App, report the activity to the authorities or deactivate your account entirely. P2P use is at your sole risk and we assume no responsibility for the underlying transaction of funds, or the actions or identity of any transfer recipient or sender. Disputes regarding funds are between you and the sender of a payment. If a sender files a claim for a chargeback after a P2P transaction, we are not responsible for determining the veracity of claims or the disposition of the payment.

Disclosure of Passwords, Unauthorized Access

If you wish to update your profile and personal data, including but not limited to, mailing address, contact details, phone numbers, email address, and other personal particulars, you may do so by contacting our customer service. We may from time to time first verify your identity through the security protocols established by us (and which may be changed from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion) before your profile and personal information can be updated. You shall at all times keep all your passwords and security codes, security questions, security answers (including but not limited to those used for verification and authorization purposes and for access into your Card Account) secret and you shall use all reasonable precautions to prevent disclosure of the same to any unauthorized person, or third party. We shall not be responsible and shall not be liable for any loss suffered or in relation to the transactions on your Card Account or for any unauthorized transactions on your Card, if you disclose any of your passwords, security codes, security questions, security answers or any of your personal details to unauthorized parties or third parties.

Notwithstanding the above, BigPay reserves the right to block, suspend or decline any cash withdrawal Transaction at its sole and absolute discretion.

You must ensure that you do not share access of your Account with any person other than yourself and keep your login details safe. It is your responsibility to keep your Account secure and be responsible for Transactions carried out using your Account. You should never conduct any Transactions on behalf of any third parties or allow any other individual to conduct a Transaction on your behalf. You should never use the Mobile App or submit any Transactions on a ‘jailbroken’, ‘rooted’ or otherwise modified device.

  • you have acted fraudulently;

  • you have intentionally or negligently compromised the security of your Account or failed to keep the details you use to access the Account secure; or

  • otherwise due to termination by BigPay due to Events of Default or due to suspicious, fraudulent, unusual, irregular or unauthorized activity.

 

If our investigations result in any special circumstances deviating from the above and affect the outcome of your liability and/or eligibility for a refund, we will notify you. Note that we have no responsibility towards you for any loss caused by unauthorized access prior to you notifying us. A charge may also be applied for any refund request if the unauthorised use, loss, theft or misuse of the Account was caused by your error, carelessness or negligence.

 

In cases where we have reason to believe that you have acted fraudulently, we may decide not to allow any refund to you, investigate the circumstances further or even forward the matter to the law enforcement authorities, including the MAS. If an investigation (whether by us or the authorities) results in a finding of fraud by you, we may charge you for costs incurred by us in carrying out such investigation and further deduct these monies from your Account. If you think you have been or might be a victim of fraud, please contact us immediately.

 

We also regularly monitor the apps distribution platforms and will report fake mobile applications to the app distribution platforms for their further action to prevent such fake mobile applications from being made available for download by users. We also monitor sources identifying fake/phishing websites and will take the necessary action to report the same to the appropriate parties (overseeing or hosting these sites) for the same to be taken down in order to safeguard users from falling prey to scams or fraud sites guising as BigPay’s official website. In any event, users can validate the authenticity of the Mobile App through Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store, as the mobile application is signed by the Big Pay developer account. Notwithstanding, you must only download the Mobile App from either Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play Store. You must not download the Mobile App from any other app sites, websites or app forums as they will probably be fake or phishing sites which we do not authorize or approve to publish the BigPay App.

 

Please further read the ‘Security Alert’ provided under the ‘Security & Legal’ page on the Mobile App for further awareness on online transaction risks.
