A Visa Business payment card is a Visa payment card that can be used worldwide wherever Visa cards are accepted. It can be used online, in shops, over the phone, or to withdraw cash from an ATM.
A Visa Business payment card can only be used to pay with money deposited in advance, so make sure You have a sufficient balance on Your Visa Business payment card account before You make any transfers or pay with Your card. Funds held in a Visa Business payment card account are not bank deposits and do not earn interest.

You may also be asked to confirm Your residence address, provide Your identity documents, e.g. a passport, driving licence, national ID document, utility bills, bank account statements, and other documents to the Distributor. The Distributor may also need to carry out checks on You electronically.

The Visa card is delivered to Your address within 60 (sixty) days of Your order. If You do not receive Your Visa card within one calendar month, You must notify the Distributor.
If it is determined that You did not receive your Visa card through no fault of Your own, the card You were sent will be permanently blocked and a new card will be made and sent free of charge to You. If you do not receive a second card, You will be able to collect the new card from the Distributor's Customer Service Centre.

The time taken to credit funds to Your Visa payment card account will depend on the method of deposit used. You cannot pay into your account by a balance transfer from a credit card. You may only pay in funds up to your maximum account balance.
A fee may apply for payments into Your account, please refer to the Fees and Limits table (Section 33). Certain minimum and maximum limits and usage requirements apply to Your account and card; such limits and requirements are detailed in the Fees and Limits table (Section 33).

If an overpayment has been made to Your account in error, we or, at our request, the Distributor shall be entitled to debit the overpayment from Your account.
8. What transactions can I make?
You can use your Visa Business payment card to authorise the following transactions to merchants that accept Visa payment card payments:
- Chip and PIN card payments by inserting a Visa Business payment card into the terminal and entering Your PIN;
- Magnetic stripe card payments at any point of sale where chip and PIN cards are not accepted by signing the sales voucher;

You confirm the e-wallet transaction with the mobile phone's security protocol, which may include biometric information such as a fingerprint or facial recognition on the mobile phone.
Like in case of other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a third party or ATM will accept Your card.
You may also be asked to enter a one-time confirmation code or other security information, including, if available and if You choose this method of identification, biometric information to confirm a transaction or to make changes to Your account. One-time confirmation codes will be sent to the mobile phone number registered in your account.
Once Your transaction has been confirmed, we will deduct the amount of Your transaction from the funds in Your Visa payment card account. Fees may be deducted at the time of transaction confirmation or after the transaction has been confirmed through the Visa system. You can view a detailed statement of each transaction, including fees, in your account at bank.paysera.com or on the Distributor's mobile app.
Once the transaction has been confirmed, the funds will be transferred to the merchant within 3 days and to the bank or financial institution on the day the confirmation was received or on the later transaction payment date specified by You. Transaction funds for card transactions will be credited when the merchant or ATM operator provides us with instructions for the transaction.
9. Can I cancel a transaction?
Generally, You cannot cancel a transaction that has already been confirmed. However, You have the possibility to cancel a transaction if the transaction You have confirmed is to be executed in the future (future date). However, if a specific date is indicated, You cannot cancel a payment order at the end of the business day before the specified transaction date.
To cancel a permanent confirmation of a Visa Business payment card, You must notify the merchant before the end of the business day prior to the day on which the transaction was due to be executed and, if necessary, provide the Distributor with a copy of the notice.
If You cancel a transaction in accordance with the procedures described in this section, we or, at our request, the Distributor may apply a Cancellation fee (see table "Fees and Limits" (Section 33)).
10. Can I pay for things in a foreign currency?
The main currency of Your Visa payment card is euro. If You make a payment or withdraw cash from an ATM in any other currency, we will convert the amount of the transaction into euro at the exchange rate set by Visa on the day the transaction is processed. The transaction processing date does not have to be the same day as the transaction date.
If You use Your card whose primary currency is euro to pay in a European country whose national currency is not euro, Your service provider may indicate the applicable exchange rate and the amount in euro, as well as the percentage difference between the card system's rate and the European Central Bank's (ECB) rate
An international transaction fee will apply to each of these transactions (see the Fees and Limits table (Section 33)).
When adding funds to the Visa Business payment card account in a currency other than euro, the amount shall be automatically converted according to the Distributor's exchange rate in force at the time, which is regularly updated and published on the Distributor's website.
Any changes to the exchange rate used to convert foreign transactions will be made immediately. You can find the exchange rate for a transaction made in a currency other than euro on a given date here.

You may not use your card for illegal purposes. It also cannot be used for a limited number of specified transactions. Please see Article 9 of the General Payment Services Agreement for more information.

- the amount of the transaction shown in the currency in which the transaction was paid or debited to the account;

In addition, You may be asked to enter a one-time confirmation code or other security information, including, if available and if You choose this method of identification, biometric information to access Your account. One-time confirmation codes will be sent to the mobile phone number registered in Your account.
13. How long is the Visa Business payment card valid for?
Your Visa Business payment card is valid for 4 years. After the expiry date, You will no longer be able to use the card. If Your card is cancelled or expires, this agreement will be terminated and not renewed.
Upon expiry of the card(s), a new card(s) will be issued automatically (provided that payment transactions have been made with the card and/or through the Paysera Account within 90 days prior to the expiry date), by sending the card(s) to the address You have indicated in the Distributor's system.
If You wish Your new Visa payment card(s) to be delivered to a different address, You must indicate this in Your account in the Distributor's system at least 30 days prior to the expiry date of the card(s) in accordance with the instructions in the Distributor's system.

If for any reason a transaction is made with an insufficient balance on Your Visa Business payment card account, You will be obliged to reimburse us the insufficient amount, unless this is due to an error on the part of the merchant to whom You made the payment.
We or, at our request, the Distributor may deduct the missing amount from any card You have linked to us or from funds in Your Paysera Account.
The missing amount can be deducted from the funds You later transfer to Your Visa Business payment card account. We may suspend the use of the cards until the missing amount is covered.
15. What to do if my account has been debited with more money than it should have been or a commission fee has been charged for transactions I don't recognise?
If You decide to dispute a transaction that has been made with Your card, You should first contact the merchant, as this may be the quickest way to resolve the problem. If You are unable to resolve the dispute with the merchant, or if the dispute arises from any other transaction on Your Account, You should contact the Distributor immediately, but at the latest within 13 months from the date on which You became aware of the unauthorised or improperly executed payment transaction.
When You inform the Distributor that You have not authorised a payment in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, that You have taken all reasonable steps to protect Your personal security information, that Your Card is stored securely, that You have not disclosed Your PIN or security details to anyone, and that You have not committed any illegal acts, the Distributor shall, on our request:
(a) refund You the amount of the unauthorised payment; and
(b) restore the account balance to the state it would have been in if the unauthorised payment had not been made.
Apart from these obligations, we and our Distributor will have no other liability to You. In cases where the recipient details provided by You are incorrect, we will not be liable for the non-execution or improper execution of the payment transaction, but we will try our best to recover the funds from the payment transaction and our Distributor will notify You of the result.
You may be entitled to claim a refund in relation to transactions where:

- we are liable for any transaction that is not executed or not executed properly. In such circumstances, we will refund You the amount of the payment transaction that has not been executed or has been executed incorrectly and the Distributor will restore the balance of the payment account to the state it would have been in if the incorrect payment transaction had not been executed. We will also refund You (a) any direct commission fees for which You are liable and (b) any interest You are liable to pay as a result of the non-executed or improperly executed payment transaction; or
- the exact amount was not specified at the time of authorisation of the pre-approved transaction and the amount charged is higher than could reasonably have been expected given the previous card spending patterns and the circumstances of the transaction. We will refund the full amount of the payment transaction or provide reasons for refusing to refund the amount of the payment transaction. We will refund or provide reasons for refusing a refund within 10 working days of receipt of the refund request or, if applicable, within 10 working days of receipt of the additional information requested. In these circumstances, a refund claim will not be accepted if the amount of the transaction was scheduled at least 4 weeks before the date of the transaction, or if the claim is made more than 8 weeks after the amount was deducted from Your account.

The use of Your card will be suspended immediately and Your Visa payment card account will be blocked. If You later find Your card after reporting it lost, You can no longer use it.

All funds will be refunded in euros to the bank account of Your choice. We and our Distributor reserve the right to require You to provide proof that the bank account belongs to You before transferring funds to the account.

If it is not possible to make a refund to the account You have specified for reasons beyond our and our Distributor's control, You will be notified immediately. The Distributor will then ask You to provide an alternative account or to provide additional information required to make the refund (execute the payment).
Section 28 sets out the circumstances in which we do not make refunds.
22. Is the money in my Visa Business payment card account as protected as in my bank account?
The account and the card linked to it are electronic money products and, although our activities are supervised by the Bank of Lithuania, they are not covered by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Republic of Lithuania. There is no other compensation plan in place to cover losses related to the account and the linked card. However, we assure You that all funds received by You will be held in a separate account to protect Your funds from claims by our creditors in the event of our insolvency.
23. What if I have a complaint?
If You are not satisfied with Your card or account, or the way it is being handled, You can contact the Distributor's Customer Service to resolve Your issue. All your complaints will be dealt with quickly and fairly.
The Distributor will respond to any questions about Your complaint by email and/or registered letter. A reply will be provided within 15 working days of receipt of Your complaint.

30. Am I permitted to give access to third party providers?
You may allow regulated Third Party Providers (TPPs) (including Account Information Service Providers (AISPs) and payment initiation service providers (PISPs)) access to Your Visa payment card account to make payments, obtain account balances, or obtain information on previous transactions.
Before giving access to a TPP, You should:

(b) check what level of access You are consenting to, how Your account will be used, and the extent to which Your data will be shared with third parties; and
(c) familiarise yourself with Your obligations and rights under the TPP agreement, in particular Your right to withdraw consent to access Your account.
We may refuse to allow a TPP access to Your account when the Distributor is concerned about fraudulent or unauthorised access.
We and our Distributor are not party to, and are not responsible for, any agreement between You and a TPP. Subject to any rights You may have to a refund under these Terms and Conditions, we and our Distributor are not responsible for:
(a) any loss whatsoever, as a result of using a TPP and entering into a TPP agreement; and
(b) any actions that the TPP takes in relation to suspending or terminating Your use of their service or for any resulting losses.
