We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents like a passport.

You will receive a UPI® Prepaid or Debit Card (“the Card”) with your Deposit Account. You acknowledge and agree that the funds accessible through the use of the Card are limited to the available funds in your Deposit Account. You agree to sign the back of the Card immediately upon receipt. The expiration date of the Card is identified on the front of the Card. The Card is the property of the Issuer and must be surrendered upon demand. The Card is non-transferable and may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law.
Activate the Card
You must activate the card before it can be used. To activate your card, you need to follow the instruction available in the letter provided with the card. You may activate it online at cellfundsgo.com or through the Web Mobile App.
Personal Identification Number
You will not receive a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) with the Card. However, you will be prompted to select a PIN when you activate it. See the activation instructions in the “Activate the Card” section. You should not write or keep your PIN with your Card. Never share your PIN with anyone. When entering your PIN, be sure it cannot be observed by others and do not enter your PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious. If you believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you should advise us immediately.
Authorized Card or Deposit Account Users
You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of the Card or Deposit Account. If you permit another person to have access to your Card, Card number(s), Deposit Account number(s), or PIN, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by those persons. You are wholly responsible for the use of your Deposit Account according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Secondary Cardholder
You may request an additional Card for another person
Your Representations and Warranties
By activating the Card or by retaining, using, or authorizing the use of the Card provided with the Deposit Account, you represent and warrant to us that: (i) you are at least 18 years of age (or older if you reside in a country where the majority age is older); (ii) you have provided us with a verifiable address (not a P.O. Box); (iii) the personal information that you provide to us in connection with the Deposit Account is true, correct and complete; (iv) you received a copy of this Agreement and agree to be bound by and to comply with its terms; and (v) you accept the Card.
Cash Access and Transaction Limitations
With your PIN, you may use the Card to obtain cash from your Deposit Account at any Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) or any Point-of-Sale (“POS”) device, as permissible by a merchant, that bears the UPI®, or NYCE® Acceptance Marks. All ATM transactions are treated as cash withdrawal + transactions. You may use the Card at an ATM and withdraw funds at a participating bank (“Over the Counter” or “OTC” withdrawals). ATM and OTC cash withdrawals, funds withdrawn at a POS, and purchases are all subject to the $2,500 maximum amount that can be spent on the Card per day.
Transaction Type Frequency and/or Dollar Limits*
ATM Withdrawal No limit to the number of times per day, Up to $1,000.00 per day*
Cash Back at POS No Limit to the number of times per day, Up to $500.00 per day*
Card Purchases (PIN) No limit to the number of times per day, Up to $5,000.00 per day
*Daily limits refer to 24-hour rolling timeframes (for example, Tuesday 2:00 pm – Wednesday 2:00 pm). ATM and POS device owner-operators, merchants, and participating banks may impose their own fees and lower limits on cash withdrawals.
You may use the Card to purchase or lease goods or services everywhere UPI® Cards are accepted as long as you do not exceed the available balance of your Deposit Account. Some merchants do not allow customers to conduct split transactions where the Card is used as partial payment for goods and services and the remainder of the balance is paid with another form of legal tender. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available in the Deposit Account to the Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping the Card, the Card is likely to be declined.
If you use the card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”), the transaction may be preauthorized for an amount up to $75.00. If the Card is declined, even though you have sufficient funds available, you should pay for your purchase inside with the cashier. If you use the Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the transaction may be preauthorized for the purchase amount plus up to 20% or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. A pre-authorization will place a “hold” on those available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed. It may take up to seven (7) days for the hold to be removed. During the hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount.
All transactions relating to car rentals or hotels are not authorized.
If you use the 16-digit Card number without presenting the Card (such as for mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make with the Card. The Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may not use the Card for any illegal online gambling or any other illegal transaction.
Each time you use the Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in the Deposit Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available in the Deposit Account, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees.
You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of the Card. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies. If you obtain funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which the Card was issued, the amount deducted from the available balance of your Deposit Account will be converted by UPI into an amount in the currency of the Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by UPI from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.
Receipts
You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using the Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.
Card Replacement
If you need to replace the Card for any reason except at Card expiration, you can do so by calling 888-363-1895 or through the Web Mobile App to request a replacement card. You will be required to provide personal information which may include your Deposit Account number, 16-digit Card number, full name, transaction history, copies of acceptable documentation, etc.
Card Expiration
The Card will expire no sooner than the date printed on the front of it. You will not be able to use the Card after the expiration date; however, a replacement Card will be automatically mailed to you prior to the expiration of the Card. If you need a Card replacement for any reason other than the Card’s expiration, you may request one at any time by following the procedures in the section labeled “Card Replacement.”

Approved Transfers are automatically debited from the sender’s Deposit Account and typically deposited to the recipient’s Deposit Account within seconds. Internal Transfers will be monitored and may be held, delayed, or blocked if, in CellFundsGo’s sole discretion, completing the transfer could result in fraud or another form of financial harm. CellFundsGo may require additional information to complete an Internal Transfer.
You must make sure the recipient’s email address; mobile phone number or Account Number is entered accurately to ensure the Internal Transfer is sent to the correct recipient. The obligation to pay the Internal Transfer will not be excused by an error in the information entered.
Please note: The email address, mobile phone number or Account Number entered during the Internal Transfer will display in your transaction history and on your statement for your reference. A reference field is also available to add a personalized message to the recipient. These messages will be visible in your online transaction history but will not be included on your monthly statement.

An Internal Transfer cannot be canceled if sent to another CellFundsGo member once the transfer is complete.
Liability for Internal Transfers
You are liable for any Internal Transfer sent from your Deposit Account except in the case where the Internal Transfer was unauthorized, or the Internal Transfer was not properly executed according to your instructions. This means you are liable for any transaction made using Internals Transfer, even if you are unsatisfied with an exchange of goods or services.

If we ask you to put your request in writing, you will need to tell us; the name of the payee, the dollar amount of the payment, and the date of the payment. If written stop payment notification is required but is not received within fourteen (14) days, only the first payment you notified us of will be stopped, and future payments will not be stopped.
Notice of Varying Amounts
If these regular payments you make may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you the transfer date and the amount of the transfer ten (10) days before each payment is scheduled to take place. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits you set).
Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer
If you order us to stop a preauthorized payment three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
Contact us at once if you believe your Card, PIN, or Deposit Account number has been stolen. Telephoning is the best way to minimize your possible losses. If your Card, PIN or Deposit Account number has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Deposit Account without your permission, call 1-888-363-1895.
Also, if you become aware of and/or your statement shows transactions that you did not make, notify us at once following the procedures stated in the section labeled “Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors“. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after you become aware of the transaction(s) and/or the statement was made available to you, you may not get back any of the value you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking value if you had notified us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods. If your Card, PIN, or Deposit Account number has been lost or stolen, we will close your Card and/or CellFundsGo Account to keep losses down and send you a replacement Card and/or Deposit Account number.
If your Deposit Account changes you must immediately notify your employer or any other payors or merchants. You must provide them with your new CellFundsGo Account number to ensure that your direct deposit and/or ACH Debit activity continues uninterrupted.
Our Liability for Failure To Complete Transactions
If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Deposit Account or Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you; we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
– If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in your Deposit Account to complete the transaction.
– If a merchant refuses to accept your Card or Deposit Account number;
– If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
– If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
– If access to your Card or Deposit Account has been blocked after you reported your Card or Deposit Account number lost or stolen;
– If there is a hold or your funds are subject to a legal or administrative process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
– If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
– If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, power failure, strike, labor dispute, critical service provider failure, computer breakdown, telephone line disruption, government or regulatory action, or a natural disaster) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
Confidentiality
We may disclose information to third parties about your Deposit Account, Card or the transactions you make:
Where it is necessary for completing transactions.
In order to verify the existence and condition of your Deposit Account or Card for a third party, such as a merchant.
In order to comply with a government agency, court order, or other legal or administrative reporting requirements.
If you consent by giving us your written permission.
To our employees, auditors, affiliates, service providers, or attorneys as needed.
As noted in the CellFundsGo Privacy Policy and Bank Consumer Privacy Notice(s); or

Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, call 1-888-363-1895 or email us at [email protected] as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed in the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
Tell us your name, Deposit Account number and/or 16-digit Card number.
Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you provide this information orally, we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Deposit Account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes to complete the investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and you do not provide it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your Deposit Account.
For errors involving new Deposit Accounts; transactions with a merchant’s POS terminal, whether in-person, online, by telephone, mail, or otherwise; or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Deposit Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your Deposit Account for the amount you think is in error. For errors involving unauthorized preauthorized debits (“ACH”), we will ask you to complete and sign an “Affidavit of Unauthorized ACH” and return it to us to assist in our investigation.
We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. Copies of the documentation used in the investigation may be obtained by contacting us at the phone number or address shown at the beginning of this section.

General Funds Availability
Information contained in this section is provided to assist you in understanding our Funds Availability Policy. All deposits into accounts opened through the Bank are processed at a Bank processing facility.
We make funds available according to the type of deposit and when the funds are applied or credited to your Deposit Account. Some types of deposits may not be available for immediate use. When we delay the availability of funds or place a hold on a deposit made to your Deposit Account, you may not withdraw those funds, and we will not use them to pay any debts, such as ACH transfers or payments, Checkbook transactions, or transactions using your Card during the hold period. We have the right to refuse any deposit.
If final payment is not received on any item you have deposited into your Deposit Account, or if any direct deposit, ACH transfer credit is returned to us for any reason, you agree to pay us the amount of the returned item.
Availability

For purposes of these disclosures, our business days are Monday through Friday. Federal holidays are not included. Deposits received by midnight Mountain Time will be considered current-day deposits. Any deposits received after that time will be processed the following business day.
Same Day Availability
Funds received from preauthorized electronic payments or other preauthorized electronic payments will be available on the day the deposit is applied to your Deposit Account.

Longer Availability
Electronic transfers depositing into the Deposit Account initiated through the Mobile App or Website may take up to five (5) business days from the date of the initial request but will post on the payment date of the deposit once the money has reached the Bank and/or CellFundsGo.
