8. Managing and operating the YouBiz Account

Delegating access to your YouBiz Account. You can authorise other people to carry out certain activities on your behalf. The three different categories of authorised persons are finance user, accountant user and general user. We will treat all instructions and actions by authorised persons within the limits of their authority as valid and legally binding.

Admin user. This is generally the person who first signs up for YouBiz on behalf of the business. This person will have unrestricted access to the YouBiz Account and YouBiz Services. This person is able to control access to the platform for all other users (only the admin user can add additional users to the platform). This person is not able to unilaterally appoint another admin user.

Finance user. This person is authorised to make payments within or out of the account (including by using your Cards) and make currency exchanges.

Accountant user. This person is authorised to view all transactions and make internal transfers in the YouBiz Account (i.e. this person can make currency exchanges and transfer funds between internal YouBiz accounts on the platform). This person is not able to make payments out of the YouBiz Account to an external party without prior approval of the finance user or admin user.

General user. This person is only authorised to use the specific Card assigned to them (as defined below) and view their own transactions made on the Card only. This user will not have access to any other Cards, or to other features such as transfers and exchanges.

Cards. After you receive your Card, you must:

• activate your Card in the YouBiz Dashboard within the stipulated time frame; and

• sign the signature panel on the back of the Card immediately and keep the Card safe.

We shall not be responsible / liable to you for any discrepancy between the signature appearing on the Card and the corresponding sales slip or for any reason(s) the Card is not accepted. You acknowledge and agree that any discrepancy between the signature appearing on the Card and the corresponding sales slip shall not by itself be a ground for disputing the validity of the sales transaction.

Validity Period. Your Card shall be valid for the period (“Validity Period”) stated on the Card and shall expire on the first day of the following month indicated on the face of the Card. You agree and understand that the Validity Period may not be extended.

Delivery of your Card. All Cards shall be delivered to the registered or office address stated in your application. Delivery to postal boxes shall not be accepted.

Your use of the Card is subject to certain obligations and limits. You must:

• keep your Card safe;

• ensure that your YouBiz Account has sufficient balance to successfully carry out the intended transaction;

• always remember to take your Card back after using it;

• not allow any unauthorised person to use your Card;

• not give your Card number and details to any unauthorised person; and

• not leave your Card in an unattended wallet, purse or vehicle or anywhere where another person could remove your Card without being noticed.

Replacing your Card. If your Card is lost, stolen, damaged or defaced, you may apply for a replacement Card from us. The Card replacement and delivery fee is set out in paragraph 9 below. For replacement of damaged or defaced Cards, you may need to produce the damaged or defaced Card. We’re not responsible for any losses that occur as a result of your Card being lost or stolen.

 

9. Fees

The fees payable for the YouBiz Services shall be set out in a separate fee schedule.

Fees charged by other banks. In addition to the above, do note that when you are performing transactions involving external bank accounts (e.g. making a payment to an overseas supplier’s bank account), the external bank may sometimes deduct their fees from the payment you’re sending or receiving. This could mean that you or the person you are paying receives a lower amount than expected (e.g. you or the person you are paying may only receive $95 when the amount sent was $100 because the other person’s bank has deducted a $5 fee).

 

10. Your YouBiz Account balance

Reported balances and available funds are only approximate real time balances. While we endeavour to provide you with up-to-date information about your account balance as far as possible, balances and available funds reported through the YouBiz Dashboard are only approximate real time balances, not the settled balances, and may not include pending debits and credits.
No interest. No interest will accrue or be payable to you in respect of the amounts standing to the credit of your YouBiz Account.

 

11. Sending, spending or exchanging money

When you send, spend or exchange money, you acknowledge and agree that you’re authorising us to execute each relevant transaction. After you have effected any transaction, you’ll not be able to cancel the transaction, except as provided for by any applicable law.

 

12. Receipts

We provide you with a digital record for all transactions, accessible through the YouBiz Dashboard. We don’t provide you with any physical receipt or any other written confirmation in respect of your transactions. We also recommend that you ask for a copy of the receipt from each relevant merchant you’ve transacted with.

 

13. Pre-authorisation

A pre-authorisation is a temporary hold placed by a merchant on your Card, and reserves funds for a future payment transaction. Such transactions are commonly carried out by hotels and car rental companies. The temporary hold may be for up to (30) thirty days and may be for an amount greater than the final bill. You’ll not be able to spend this temporarily held sum during this period. We’re not able to release such sum without the merchant’s authorisation, and in some situations, the withheld sum may also include an additional 20% to cover taxes and service charge.

 

14. Fraudulent, illegal or criminal activity

Suspension or termination of your YouBiz Account and Card. We may suspend or terminate your YouBiz Account and Card if we suspect you’re involved in any fraudulent activity, money laundering, terrorism financing or other criminal and/or illegal activity or if we suspect you to be in breach of the Terms.
Reversal of payment transactions. We also have the right to suspend, or later reverse, the processing of any payment transaction if we suspect that the payment transaction involves any fraudulent activity, money laundering, terrorism financing or other criminal and/or illegal activity or if we suspect you to be in breach of the Terms. In such an event, you agree that you shall not hold us liable for any withholding of, delay in, suspension of or cancellation of, any payment by or to you.

 

15. Transactions

You’re responsible for all transactions effected with your YouBiz Account regardless of whether such activity is actually carried out or authorised by you.

Your intended merchant or recipient has the right to choose to accept or decline any payment method. In the event a merchant or recipient does not accept the Card or YouBiz Services as a valid payment method, we shall not be liable for any losses incurred by you as a result of the merchant or recipient’s refusal to accept such payment. Any unclaimed, refunded or declined sums will be returned to you through the original payment method within 30 days of the date you initiated payment.

Transaction notifications.

Please contact us immediately if any of such notified transactions were not conducted by you.

Liability for losses. You shall be liable for all losses incurred as a result of unauthorised transactions if:

• you’ve acted fraudulently;

• you’ve intentionally or negligently compromised the security of your YouBiz Account; or

• you’ve compromised the security of your account by an unauthorised disclosure of your Credentials.

16. Exchange rates

Foreign Currency Transactions. Apart from Singapore dollar transactions, you may also transact in other foreign currencies (“Foreign Currency Transaction”). If you make a Foreign Currency Transaction, we’ll either settle such transaction in the relevant foreign currency, or such other foreign currency and/or Singapore dollar balances as may be available in your YouBiz Account. If such a transaction is settled using other foreign currency and/or Singapore dollar balances, the applicable sums from such balances will be exchanged to the relevant foreign currency at the rate of exchange applicable at the relevant time of the transaction.
