The above is not a final and complete list and we may change or stop any of above methods or we could be adding other methods, which we might make available to you at any time without informing you or without any prior notice.

  • SEPA Direct debits from a Saurus account

You can set up SEPA direct debits from your Saurus account authorising the organisation taking direct debit payments from your current account(s) with us. You can check our detailed Term and Conditions for SEPA Direct debits here.

  • Authorisation for outgoing Payments

 When we execute an outgoing payment (hereinafter payment), it is your responsibility to ensure you provide correct recipient account details and amount and you are responsible if you give us incorrect instructions or you make the payment more than once, and we will not be liable for any loss or any damages direct or indirect or incidental that this may cause to you Although we will try to get your money back, we are not always capable to do this, and we will charge you a fee for tracing, recalling and cancelling a payment.

We may not execute or process an outgoing payment if:

  • Your Saurus account does not have sufficient funds to cover the payment.
  • Your Saurus account has reached its limits of use.
  • Your account is suspended or closed.
  • we believe it is required in compliance with any applicable law
  • We suspect fraudulent activity on your Saurus account.

We will notify you through the app of the refusal (unless the law or regulation or any appropriate or competent authority prevents or recommends us to do so) as soon as reasonable possible.

If, for any reason, a payment is processed for an amount greater than the available funds on your Saurus account, you must repay us the balance immediately after receiving a notification from us. Should you not repay this amount immediately we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, such as debit your due amount to us onto any of your current accounts with us, including legal action and/or closing your Saurus account to recover any monies outstanding.

  • How long it takes to make a payment

We understand that when you make a payment, it is very important to you that the recipient of your payment receives it within a reasonable time. However this time will depend on when (working day or holiday, working hours or out of working hours, before or after our working days cut-off time that we set from time to time) you tell us to make the payment and on the network load on the cloud, on our Electronic Money Institution (EMI) partner executing it in a timely manner and potentially depends on any 3rd party clearing banks and depends on our EMI partner correspondence bank execution time.

For example, the average timing is:

  • If you make a payment from your Saurus account to another Saurus account with the same currency (example EURO payment to another EURO account with us or GBP payment to another GBP account with us), in this case the recipient is aimed to receive it in less than a minute or so, depending on our network load.
  • If you make a payment from your Saurus account on an Android smartphone with our Bumping technology to another Saurus account on an Android smartphone with the same currency (example EURO payment to another EURO account with us or GBP payment to another GBP account with us), in this case the recipient is aimed to receive it almost instantly, depending on our network load.
  • By UK Faster Pay payments are aimed to be received in minutes.
  • If you make a payment to someone else’s 3rd party current account in the same currency within Europe for EURO or within UK for GBP it is aimed to be received on average the next business day.
  • If you want to make a payment from a Euro account with us or form a EURO account with a 3rd party to a GBP local current account with us, it will not be received simply because your GBP account with us is a local GBP account and does not have an IBAN associated with it but rather a sort code and an account number which is strictly for use within the United Kingdom locally. You could however use in future, if and when available our FX (foreign exchange) feature to send EUROs to the FX method and exchange and send it through the FX local transfer method into your GBP account with us.
  • If you want to make a transfer from your Euro or GBP account with us, through our future FX feature, if and when available, it is aimed to take a day or two but it could last on average up to four business days depending on which of the foreign currency that we aim to make available to you in future and on the processing time of any 3rd party partners.
  • Transfer money between Saurus users

We aim for you to send and receive money virtually instantly between yourself and another Saurus user, choosing them from the Saurus users contact list, or by using our Bumping feature between Android smartphones, whereby the payment will aim to be received virtually immediately.

We aim to allow you to transfer money instantly between our nearby Android users through our licensed patent pending “Bumping” technology in a more secure way than current transfers by both Android smartphones sending a separate transaction request to our infrastructure (assuming both have internet access) and whereby our infrastructure verifies and consolidates these 2 as one transaction if both fully match and authenticate.

  • Payments made in error

If you suspect an incorrect or unauthorised payment has been made from your account with us (for example a direct debit previously cancelled), you have to contact us immediately such that we can assist you in as far as we can to ensure this does not happen again, but we will not be liable for any loss as it is your responsibility to ensure the 3rd party you previously authorised to collect monies from your account was notified by you and stops collecting monies from your account.

If we make a payment into your account by mistake, we will take out from your account the same amount without asking you and if we take an amount out from your account by mistake we will refund the same amount back into your account as soon as we notice it ourselves or by you informing us about it. Depositing the monies back into your account, in this last case is the sole remedy in for this case and no other liabilities or damages are attributable to us other than returning the funds in this event.

If you made an incorrect payment introducing incorrect details, we will make reasonable efforts to recover your money, but we might charge you a fee to cover our costs. We will tell you how much you will have to pay in order to recover that money, although we will not be able to give you any guarantee that the money will be recovered. We will send you a form that you will have to fill up with the information of the payment to help you reclaim the money, but we will not be responsible for any loss as it is your responsibility to ensure that the introduced details are correct.

  • How is your money protected?

We issue the equivalent electronic value of the money we receive in your account or that you add in e-money, and we place it into our “client money bank account” that we hold with a large commercial bank associated to our EMI partner, keeping your money separated from our own money, that way even in a case of insolvency of our company your money would be protected and would be paid to you from our “client money bank account”. Therefore, as we use this system to protect your money, it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. We aim to introduce over time additional protection mechanism as a result of more data collected that will help us to take more automated decisions to protect our users funds even better from or any potential or suspected fraud or suspected illegal activity.

  • How do you close your account?

You can end this Agreement and close your account at any time by contacting our Customer Services or in future also through the App and it is your sole responsibility to transfer any of your available funds (minus any payments or fees to us, if any) with us to another account before closing it.

You might still have to pay some charges which will be deducted from your funds before closing your account or deducted automatically from the total funds you would be transferring out of your account prior to closing it.

  • Closing or suspending your account

 We may close or block your account without notifying you if:

  • Any of the statements you made when you created your Saurus.com account or thereafter at any time in the future become false, inaccurate or misleading in any way. It is your sole responsibility to keep all the information you provided to us up to date, including but not limited your country of residence or fiscal residency and your ID document to be upload when you replace an expired ID document and so forth.
  • You break the terms of any Agreement with us in any way.
  • We deem, at our sole discretion, that you are no longer entitled to have an account with us.
  • We suspect you are using our account for criminal or fraudulent purposes.
  • We deem, at our sole discretion, that your behaviour towards any of our team makes it difficult to deal with you for any reason without any prior notice.
  • If we have good reason to believe that your use of your account with us could
  • directly or indirectly damage our reputation, our image, our brand, our software, systems or hardware or any of those previous listed applied to any our business partners, such as but not limited to our EMI partner, our EMI correspondent bank, our EMI CARD provider (i.e. Mastercard or any other).
  • If we believe that we have to do it to remain in compliance with any Agreement or contract that we may have with 3rd parties or to comply with any law or regulation, or court order or as instructed or recommended by any regulator with jurisdiction.

If any of the events listed above, or any additional one that we deem critically important even if not listed herein or in any such additional T&Cs, happen and there are funds remaining in your account, we aim to transfer these to any 3rd party current account on your name with any 3rd party or with a high-street bank within 30 days since you provided an alternative account to transfer those funds or any such other time frame that the law states. If however any competent authority instructs or recommends us to freeze your funds or your account, than we will comply with such instruction or recommendation even if it comes with a no notice to you.

We may also decide to close or suspend temporarily or permanently your account for any other reason, in that case we aim to notify you through our app by notification and/or by email unless we were instructed or recommended not to do so by any competent authority, our provider or our own Compliance team.

  1. Saurus Personal Card
  • Type of card

The Saurus.com (Saurus) card is a Mastercard Debit Card. Please be advised that additional terms and conditions apply for the use of Debit Mastercard, which you can read here.

The maximum amount that you can spend with your card will depend on the limits that applies to your card, you can find those limits here.

  • Apply for, receive and activate a card

Upon your request through our Saurus app we aim to issue a Saurus.com (Saurus) card associated with your account. The card will be posted to your home address as provided by you during the account creation process and which we aim that you can amend, correct or change if you move house at any time in future.

We aim for you to receive the Saurus card with a welcome letter with the instructions on how to activate your personal card through the Saurus App. Once it has been activated, you can access your card PIN through the Saurus App. It is your responsibility to keep the PIN and card details safe at all times.

Be advised that the Saurus App is aimed to allow you access to the original PIN when the card was issued to you and that if you change the PIN at any ATM machine that it is your responsibility to keep that PIN in a safe place as the Saurus app will not have that changed PIN. You will be however be able to recover or retrieve your PIN if you changed it and forgot it, through the Saurus App but a PIN number retrieval FEE will apply in most cases, depending on which type of account you hold with us (i.e. which type of monthly subscription account or a pay as you go account or any such other future account type).

  • Using your Saurus card

 Your Saurus card can be used:

  • At any merchant to make purchases fees may apply)
  • Via internet to make purchases (3D secure fees may apply)
  • To obtain cash through ATMs worldwide (fees apply, see point 5)

When making purchases online, to ensure the online payments you make are secure (Strong Customer Authentication), we may ask you additional information or ask you for a security code (3D secure) that will be send to you by notification or by email (or any such other means at our sole discretion) as additional security in order to confirm you are the person performing the payment before the payment is accepted for execution.

You will need to authorise a transaction when paying in any Merchant by entering the PIN the first time you make a merchant POS (point of sale) payment or thereafter too over a certain amount, or it can also be done paying though contactless, and once you have authorised a transaction, you will not be able to withdraw your consent to that transaction for any reason whatsoever so please be careful and do not authorise any payments lightly and be vigilant and take your time to read and check before you authorise and card payment. Also, please protect your card inside a metal box as to avoid any contactless fraudulent charges on your card as those do not require any authorisation other than the proximity of your card to any POS device, so protect your card such that malicious people cannot get near your card even contactless by shielding your card in a metal cards box. It your sole responsibility to protect your card from any fraudulent use or charges.

In some occasions, the merchants (especially hotels or car rentals) may need to access more funds that you are supposed to pay at first instance, in example to cover potential liabilities, and they may require us to authorise all the transactions you make. This is because they need to know if you have sufficient funds to cover the possible transaction, so make sure you only enter your PIN when you agree to all terms and conditions of the merchant because by entering your PIN you herewith authorise us to automatically authorise any and all transactions from any merchant where you entered your card PIN.

Regarding the internet merchants, some sites may, on registration or at checkout stage, send a request for payment authorisation to verify if funds are available on your card. This may temporarily affect the available balance. They may not deduct the amount from your Saurus card until goods are dispatched but you should be aware of any previous authorised payment that you did and such amount still has to be deducted from your available fund on your card account when you are making other follow on purchases and remember that it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you have enough balance or funds in your Saurus account and or in your card account to cover all your purchases.

The Saurus card can be used to make payments in other currencies than the card currency, such as when you are abroad, and the amount deducted from your card account will be converted using our card provider and/or EMI provider exchange rate and FX mark-up, which can fluctuate and change between the time you authorise the transaction and the time it is deducted from your account.

  • Virtual Card

A Saurus Virtual Card is a payment debit card that only exists virtually. Therefore, it hugely will help you in keeping your physical card details secure as you do not have to have it with you.

To get a Saurus virtual card, go to the app and open the card section and go to “get a new card”, and select a virtual one. Then your virtual card will be automatically activated and you will be able to use it shortly after auto-activation as normal through your smartphone.
