We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for the issuance of electronic money (FRN 900010).

We advise that before using an Authorised Account Information Service Provider, you ensure that the Authorised Account Information Service Provider is authorised by a Regulator to provide Account Information Services. In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority’s register (available at https://register.fca.org.uk/) will tell you whether a company is authorised. You must provide your explicit consent or share your Online Portal credentials with the Authorised Account Information Service Provider each time an access to your Parent Account is required for them to provide you with Account Information Services. You should always consider the implications of sharing your Online Portal credentials and your personal information.
3.8 If an Authorised Account Information Services Provider requests access to your Parent Account to provide you with Account Information Services using your Online Portal credentials, we will assume that you have given consent to do so. Please note we are obliged to provide access to your Parent Account if it is requested by an Authorised Account Information Service Provider and can only refuse access in certain circumstances.

4.6 The named Cardholder must sign the Card immediately once received. All Cards can be activated online by logging into nimbl.

4.8 You are responsible for the use and safekeeping of all Cards issued to your Account under this Agreement and any fees or charges that Cards may incur.
4.9 The PIN will be revealed to you when you activate the Card.

The Cardholder should also not reveal their PIN to anybody. We will not reveal the PIN to a third party. If the Cardholder forgets their PIN you can view the PIN on the Website or via the App. The Cardholder can change their PIN at any UK ATM.
4.10 When selecting or changing the PIN, the Cardholder must not select a PIN that may be easily guessed, such as a number that:
4.10.1 is easily associated with the Cardholder, such as their telephone number or birth date; or
4.10.2 is part of data imprinted on the Card; or
4.10.3 consists of the same digits or a sequence of running digits; or
4.10.4 is identical to a previously selected PIN.
5. USING YOUR ACCOUNT AND ACCOUNT STATEMENTS
5.1 Your Account can be managed via the Online Portal and via the App (standard network charges may apply) to apply for a Child Account, view your Account balance, top-up your Account, transfer funds between your Account and a Child Account and vice versa, transfer funds between a Child Account and a Child Savings Account, view the balance of your Child Accounts, view the transaction history of your Child Accounts, set up and cancel regular transfer from your Account onto a Child Account, and view and update a Child Account spend limits, view and update your and the Cardholders personal information, change or request reset of your Account password or a Child Account password, activate a Card or view a card PIN.
5.2 Your Account cannot be used to make any purchases.
5.3 You can control where a Card is used for purchases and can turn off ATM usage for a Card.
5.4 We will make your monthly Account statements available through the Online Portal, you will be notified of the availability of new statements via email and push notifications.
6. USING THE CHILD ACCOUNT
6.1 The Available Balance on the Child Account associated to the Card will not earn any interest.
6.2 A Child Account can be used to transfer funds back to the main Account or to a Child Savings Account. The Cardholder will need to authorise each transaction. We will treat the transaction genuine if:
6.2.1 the transaction was authorised from the Online Portal while the Cardholder was logged in;
6.2.2 the transaction was authorised from the App registered to the Child Account
7. USING THE CARD
7.1 A Card can be used at any Merchant (fees apply, see paragraph 16) to make purchases in-store, via the internet or over the phone. It can also be used to obtain cash through ATMs. The Cardholder can authorise transactions on the Card at any Merchant by entering their PIN or other security code, if the Merchant does not accept chip and PIN authorisation, the Merchant may allow the Cardholder to authorise the transaction by signature of the receipt. A transaction can also be authorised by tapping the Card against a Contactless enabled reader. You can make 5 consecutive Contactless transactions after which any Contactless transactions will be declined and you will be required to enter your PIN to authorise the transaction.
7.2 Once a payment has been authorised from a Card, we cannot change or cancel it. We cannot cancel authorised payments that have not yet been processed. A Cardholder may be able to cancel transactions that have been authorised for a future date (including recurring transactions) by contacting the retailer before the date on which the payment is due to be made. We may refuse to execute a transaction if the transaction is unlawful or fraudulent and/or there is insufficient Available Balance. If we refuse to execute a transaction, you or a Cardholder can check the Child Account to ensure there was enough Available Balance to cover the transaction, or you can ask us why we have not executed a transaction by contacting Customer Services. Unless the law prevents us, we will explain why and we will also tell you what you or the Cardholder can do to correct any errors in the transaction.
7.3 When making an online transaction, the billing address must match the address of the Account Holder otherwise the transaction may be rejected.
7.4 The Card is a prepaid card, which means that the Available Balance will be reduced by the full amount of each transaction and authorisation, plus any applicable taxes and charges, including additional ATM charges if any. A Card must not be used if the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance. If, for any reason, a transaction is processed for an amount greater than the Available Balance on the associated Child Account, you must repay us the amount by which the Full Deductible Amount exceeds the Available Balance of a Card immediately after receiving invoice notification from us. Should you not repay this amount immediately after receiving invoice notification from us we reserve the right to take all steps necessary, including legal action, to recover any monies outstanding.
7.5 Due to security safeguards, Merchants that accept the Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all of the transactions that are made. There are some circumstances where Merchants may require the associated Child Account to have an Available Balance greater than the value of the transaction the Cardholder wishes to make. The Cardholder will only be charged for the actual and final value of the transaction made. Merchants request this as they may need to access more funds than the Cardholder initially planned to spend. For example:
7.5.1 hotels, rental cars, and
7.5.2 internet Merchants – certain internet Merchant sites will, on registration or at checkout stage, send a request for payment authorisation to verify if funds are available. This will temporarily impact the Available Balance of a Card. A Cardholder should bear in mind that many sites will not deduct payment until goods are dispatched so consider this when checking Available Balance to make sure a Cardholder always has sufficient funds available to cover purchases.
7.6 There are some circumstances where Merchants may not be able to seek authorisation from us for the full value of the transaction. In such circumstances you should ensure the Child Account has sufficient funds available to complete the transaction. For example: Contactless ticketing on barriers at Transport for London.
7.7 A Card cannot be used in situations where it is not possible to obtain online authorisation that a Cardholder has sufficient balance for the transaction. For example: transactions on trains, ships, and some inflight purchases.
7.8 A Card cannot be used at self service petrol pumps, it can be used to pay by taking it to the cashier.
7.9 A Card cannot be used for travel at any London underground barriers but can be used to purchase and top up an Oyster travel card at any London underground station.
7.10 A Card must not be used as a form of identification and must not be used for any illegal purpose or in any manner prohibited by law.
7.11 We may ask you to surrender the Card at anytime for a valid reason in accordance with the provisions in paragraph 20 of this Agreement. If we do so, we will give you back any Available Balance in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Agreement.
7.12 If a Merchant agrees to give a refund for a purchase made using a Card, we will credit the balance of the Child Account when we receive the funds from the Merchant.
7.13 You or your child may be asked to approve some online transactions with 3D Secure. Please see full 3D Secure Terms and Conditions

13. ACCOUNT HOLDER LIABILITY AND AUTHORISATIONS
13.1 We may restrict or refuse to authorise any use of any Cards including transactions in any legal jurisdiction if using the Card is causing or could cause a breach of this Agreement or if we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that either the Cardholder or a third party has committed or is about to commit a crime or other abuse in connection with the Card.

17. UNAUTHORISED AND INCORRECT TRANSACTIONS
17.1 If you have a reason to believe that a transaction for which a Card was used is unauthorised or has been posted to the Cardholder’s account in error, you must immediately contact Customer Services, but in any event within 13 months of the date of the relevant transaction. Any delay in notifying us makes it more difficult for us in investigating the transaction. If you dispute a transaction, the Merchant must be able to prove that the transaction took place. A Cardholder cannot report any unauthorised transactions.
17.2 We will by the end of the next Working Day refund the amount including any fees and restore the Cardholder’s account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised transaction had not taken place.
17.3 We are not obliged to refund the unauthorised sums to you if we have reason to believe you and/or a Cardholder have acted fraudulently, and we may notify the police, or any other authority permitted by law. If we don’t provide a refund by the end of the next Working Day but subsequently confirm that the transaction was unauthorised, we will refund the sums to the Cardholder straight away.
17.4 We will have no further liability to you once we have refunded the unauthorised sums to the Cardholder. If we subsequently discover that the Cardholder was not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the transaction, including any fees, to the Child Account.
17.5 The Cardholder will be liable for all unauthorised transactions made from their account(s);
17.5.1 if they have acted fraudulently; or
17.5.2 if the transaction was made because they deliberately or with gross negligence failed to keep their Card or Card details secure or their PIN or other security information secret; or
17.5.3 where you have failed to notify us without undue delay on becoming aware that a Card or security information related to a Card has been lost or stolen.
17.6 A Cardholder will not be liable for unauthorised transactions from Child Account after you have told us that a Card has been lost, stolen or compromised.
17.7 Where a Cardholder has agreed that another person in the EEA can take a payment from their Card (e.g. if a Card details have been given to a retailer for the purpose of making a payment for renting a car or booking a hotel room), we can be asked to refund a payment if all the following conditions are satisfied:
17.7.1 the authorisation given by the Cardholder did not specify the exact amount to be paid;
17.7.2 the amount that has been charged to a Card was more than the Cardholder reasonably have expected to pay, based on the circumstances, including previous spending patterns; and
17.7.3 you on behalf of a Cardholder make a refund request within eight weeks of the date when the payment was charged to their Card.
17.8 We may ask you to provide information as is reasonably necessary to verify that conditions in 17.7.1 – 17.7.3 are satisfied.
17.9 If you ask us to make a refund under paragraph 17.7 then, within 10 Working Days of the date we receive your request (or if we ask for more information under paragraph 17.8, within 10 Working Days of the date we receive that information) we will either:
17.9.1 refund the payment in full; or
