  1. Acceptance and agreement to terms and conditions
    1. The Agreement is between you and DCBank and governs the use of the Card. You should keep a copy of this Agreement with your important records. The Agreement shall come into effect on the date that is the earlier of (i) the date that we issue you a Card, (ii) the date that the Card is activated or (iii) the date of the Card’s first use.
    2. You will receive a Card issued by DCBank. You must immediately, and before using the Card, sign the back of the Card. By signing this Agreement, loading a balance in the Wallet, or by activating or otherwise using the Card, you, as the Cardholder, acknowledge having (i) received and read the entire Agreement, (ii) accepted its terms and conditions, and (iii) agreed to the fees that are detailed herein.
    3. You may receive a temporary “instant issue” Card issued by DCBank. Subsequently you may receive (to the address you provided) a permanent Card with your name on it. Once you receive and activate the Card, your temporary Card will no longer be active. You may also have more than one permanent Card from time to time.  
TO AVOID PROBLEMS WHEN USING YOUR CARD, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE YOUR CARD IN THE SITUATIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.2 AND 4.3 OF THIS AGREEMENT.  The Card may allow you to access certain products and services provided by third parties other than DCBank, including, among other things, Third Party Services. DCBANK DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LENDING, AND DCBANK DOES NOT CHARGE FOR ANY LOANS PROVIDED BY ANY THIRD PARTY. The terms and conditions applicable to the Third Party Services that are accessible through the Card are contained in the agreement(s) between you and the third party provider of such Third Party Services and DCBank is under no circumstances a party to any such agreement(s). This Agreement only relates to the Card, the fees payable or deductible as a result of the use of the Card, and any other matters expressly described in this Agreement.
  1. Ownership of the Card
    1. The Card belongs to us and you cannot transfer it or the Wallet to anyone else without our consent. The Card is for your use alone and you must comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You must return the Card immediately when we request it.
    2. You are responsible for all transactions initiated by use of the Card and for all losses as set out in Section 6. If you permit someone else to use the Card, you agree that we may refuse to authorize any transactions initiated by such person with the Card. However, if we authorize transactions by another person, we may treat such person as authorized by you to use the Card and you authorize us to debit the amount of such transactions from the Funds Available.
  2. Using The Card
    1. The Card is a prepaid card, which means the Wallet must be loaded or preloaded with a certain amount of funds prior to use of the Card.  Your card is not a credit card. We will only honour transactions up to the amount of the Funds Available. You must always make sure you have sufficient Funds Available to cover the transaction.
    2. Except as provided in Section 5.3 below, the transaction will likely be declined if the Funds Available on your Card are not sufficient to complete the transaction, including any associated fees and taxes. You can ask the merchant if they will accept a split tender transaction. This will enable you to use the amount up to the amount of Funds Available and cover the difference with another form of payment. Merchants are not obliged to accept split tender transactions.
    3. Certain merchants may place a hold on the Funds Available by way of a pre-authorized charge.  This may happen when you rent a car, reserve a hotel room or pay for gas at the pump. You are able to use your Card in these situations, however, the amount of Funds Available will be reduced by the amount of the hold and, as a result, will not be available to you until the merchant releases the hold.  For this reason, we recommend that you do not use your Card in these situations. You can still use your Card to pay for these services when the transaction is completed. For example, you can use your Card when you return the rental car, when you check out of your hotel room, or when purchasing gas.
    4. Any funds which are loaded in the Wallet: (i) are not on deposit with DCBank; (ii) do not establish a separate individual deposit account; (iii) do not earn interest; and (iv) are not insured deposits under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.
    5. You may access any Funds Available to complete POS Transactions. The Card includes a PIN and can be used to access any Funds Available to obtain cash at ATMs displaying one of the card network logos or other acceptance marks that are on the Card. When you use the Card, the amount of the purchase plus any applicable fees and taxes for the POS Transaction or ATM transaction will be deducted from the Funds Available.
    6. We may, in our sole discretion and at any time, restrict your ability to conduct an ATM transaction or otherwise modify your use permissions in an ATM Transaction, which may include limiting the amount of funds that you can withdraw in such ATM transaction. 
    7. The Card will be valid and usable until the Funds Available are depleted or until the expiry date associated with the Card. Notwithstanding the expiry date associated with the Card, your right to use the Funds Available that are loaded in the Wallet will not expire. When the Card expires, you can obtain another Card by calling a Customer Service Representative. In order to load the Wallet, you may visit the merchant where you received the Card (if applicable) or you may otherwise visit the Website for additional options.
    8. You agree to comply with all laws and not to use the Card for any illegal transactions, including the purchase of goods or services forbidden or not available to minors.
  3. Funds Available on the Wallet
    1. The Wallet may be associated with one or more Cards. You may only load the Wallet and use a Card up to the amounts described in the Limits Table above. You acknowledge and agree that DCBank may from time to time and at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, amend the maximum amounts and limits provided in the Limits Table for any given period, with or without notice to you.
    2. The time before funds become available may vary.
    3. Your Card can only be used if the Funds Available on your Card are sufficient to cover your transaction, including any associated fees and taxes. Otherwise, the transaction will in most cases be declined. However, if an authorization should occur for any amount over the amount of Funds Available, due to an offline transaction or for any other reason, you acknowledge and agree that you are required to immediately repay us the amount that exceeds the Funds Available, regardless of how it was incurred. If you do exceed the Funds Available and don’t repay us the amount due plus any applicable fees within 30 days, you agree that we can share information about you and your use of the Card with consumer reporting agencies.
    4. The Funds Available will decrease each time you use your Card for a transaction, or any time one of the fees identified in Section 7 are deducted.
    5. If you do not have any Funds Available and you attempt three transactions while the Card has insufficient Funds Available, we will disable the Card to prevent any further transactions until you have a positive balance of Funds Available.
    6. You may obtain information about the Funds Available by calling a Customer Service Representative at the number listed on the first page of this Agreement. For details on the transactions, you made on your Card or to obtain a copy of the Agreement you can access the Website listed on the first page of this Agreement. To access the DCBank information you will need your user ID and password, or other online authentication as allowed by DCBank from time to time.
    7. It is your responsibility to obtain a paper record of each POS Transaction or ATM transaction for which you use the Card and ensure that it is accurate. DCBank is not responsible for providing you with any transaction record or periodic statement. If you identify an error in any transaction record, you must address such error with the applicable merchant or ATM operator. Furthermore, you must notify a Customer Service Representative by contacting the number listed on the first page of this Agreement within 30 days after the receipt is issued on which the problem or error appeared, failing which DCBank will not have any responsibility to assist you to rectify the situation.
    8. If you mistakenly receive cash or credit that belongs to DCBank, a merchant or other party, you agree to reimburse DCBank for any such error or allow DCBank to correct such error by adjusting the amount of the Funds Available.
  4. Your responsibility for lost, stolen or misused cards
    1. You must take reasonable care to safeguard the Card and your PIN against loss, theft or misuse. You must not allow any person other than a Cardholder to use the Card. If you authorize or permit someone else to use the Card and/or PIN, you will be liable for all resulting transactions and any fees and losses incurred, even if the other person was a minor or did not comply with any limitations you placed on their use of the Card. You will be liable for all charges incurred in connection with the unauthorized use of the Card.
    2. If you lose a Card, someone might be able to use the Card to access Funds Available. A Card may be used without a PIN to make purchases. You are solely responsible for the care and control of the Card and for maintaining the confidentiality of your PIN. You can safeguard your PIN by:
      1. Not voluntarily disclosing it to anyone, including friends or family members;
      2. Keeping your PIN separate from the Card; and
      3. Not choosing a PIN selected from easily accessible information such as your name, date of birth, telephone numbers, address or social insurance number.
    3. You must notify aCustomer Service Representative by telephone within twenty-four (24) hours if you learn of the loss, theft or misuse of the Card, or if you know or suspect that someone else knows your PIN.

      1. You did not contribute to the unauthorized use;
      2. You used reasonable care to safeguard the Card and your PIN, and

If you do not meet the above conditions, you will be responsible for all the charges incurred in connection with the unauthorized use.

  1. You agree to cooperate and help with any investigation that we conduct regarding the unauthorized use you reported before we will consider reimbursing you for any losses. This cooperation may include filing a report with law enforcement authorities.
  2. If you report to us an erroneous Card transaction and our investigation reveals that it was not the fault of the merchant or ATM operator, we apply the Charge Back Fee described in the Card Fees Information Box above to the amount of Funds Available.
  3. The toll-free number to call to notify aCustomer Service Representative is listed on the first page of the Agreement. If you give aCustomer Service Representative your name on the Card and the Card number, DCBank will refund any remaining Funds Available after we process all transactions that were completed before we had an opportunity to act on your information.

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PREPAID CARD
Features and benefits of this prepaid card: There’s no credit check needed to obtain this prepaid card. You don’t need a bank account to obtain or use this card so it’s a great option if you don’t have (or don’t want) a traditional banking relationship. This card is available to individuals who are unable to obtain a credit card for making purchases due to unsatisfactory/ no credit history. Our prepaid cards can be used almost anywhere that major payment methods are accepted. You can use it for in-store and online purchases. It can be used as a budgeting tool to avoid overspending since you can’t spend more than you have loaded to the card. There’s no chance of incurring debt since you’re only spending money that has been loaded onto the card. You can avoid overdraft or overlimit fees since your card stops working once it reaches a $0 balance. There are no non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees if your account is too low to make a purchase. With these types of fees being $45 on average, overlimit/NSF fees can add up quickly. There are no hidden fees. All of our fees are clearly outlined below so you know up front exactly what you’ll be charged for use of the card. Please ensure that you review these fees carefully before you choose our card. This card is safer than cash and has a zero-liability guarantee. You are not “locked-in” to this product. You can transfer out your money and stop using this card at any time and once you do, no further fees will apply. These product features above won’t apply equally to everyone since not everyone needs these features or they can access similar benefits with other products. However, the prepaid card offers ease of use and wide payment acceptance without the risk of overspending!  Reasons why this prepaid card may not be right for you: You won’t earn interest on the funds loaded to the card. This card may not be the right choice for you if you intend to deposit a large balance on the card and leave it unused for a long period of time. Prepaid card activity is not reported to credit agencies so you can’t use this product to help build up your credit.  This product may not be right for you if need a low fee or no fee product since it could be potentially more expensive than a traditional debit or no fee credit card.
