Using Your Transactional Account

You can only use Your Transactional Account through Our Platform or by making use of Your Lula Card.

We will not carry out payment instructions if there is no available balance or insufficient funds in Your Transactional Account. In the event of Us carrying out a payment instruction and there is no available balance or insufficient funds in Your Transactional Account, You must immediately repay the unauthorised overdrawn amount to us.

Your Lula Card

You can use Your Lula Card for the following:

• Withdraw cash from an ATM and selected point of sale (POS) devices;
• Get an account balance at an ATM or a selected POS device;
• To pay for goods and services from suppliers who accept the card;
• To pay for goods and services purchased on the internet;
• To pay for subscriptions and membership fees using repeat payments (it is Your responsibility to inform the merchant/service provider if the card number or expiry date changes);
• Purchase fuel at retailers that accept cards.

The Lula Card PIN is private and it is Your responsibility to keep it private. You must not disclose Your PIN to anyone.

We are not liable for any loss You sustain due to Your failure to keep Your PIN safe.

Only the person named as the authorised cardholder may use the Lula Card.

You may not transfer the Lula Card to any other person or allow any other person to use the Lula Card

If You lose Your Lula Card, certain fees for a new card will apply as per Our Pricing Guide.

The Lula Card is valid until the last day of the month of the expiry date shown on the Lula Card as the valid date.

Fees

If You are on the Unlimited Transactional Account plan, a monthly fee will be deducted from Your Transactional Account on the last day of each month.

If there is no money in Your Transactional Account, We will deduct the outstanding fee as soon as there is money in Your Transactional Account.

If You don’t pay your monthly fee, We reserve the right to suspend Your Transactional Account.

Some further fees apply to Your Transactional Account. You can view Our latest Pricing Guide here.

If there is a dispute between You and a supplier, Our right to charge Your account will not be affected. You do not have the right to instruct Us to refuse to pay the supplier or request a charge-back of payment already made to the supplier.

Any payment that We have made to a supplier is final and irreversible, unless:

• Allowed by the payment provider;
• There was a duplication in payment due to an error by the supplier; or
• You can provide proof that the dispute with the supplier is settled.

You will be responsible for:

• All unauthorised card-based transactions until We are notified of the loss or theft of the card;
