8. PAD Authorization

THIS SECTION PROVIDES AUTHORIZATION TO DEBIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS FOR AMOUNTS YOU OWE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING LINKED ACCOUNTS AND OTHER ACCOUNTS. PLEASE READ IT THOROUGHLY.

  1. You authorize Float, and any financial institution designated by Float, to issue and process pre-authorized debits (“PADs”) and debit and credit the bank account you have designated for such purpose (“Designated Account”) for: (i) in respect of the Charge Card Services, the full amount owing under each Periodic Statement on the due date set out on the Periodic Statement; (ii) Fees invoiced to you on the due date set out on the applicable invoice; (iii) any other amounts that may become due and payable under this Agreement, including any overdue amounts, interest, Fees and other charges, on the next regularly scheduled debit date; and (iv) in the event that this Agreement is terminated, all outstanding amounts will be debited on the termination date. In the event that we are unable to debit the Designated Account  for amounts described above we may debit other Linked Accounts or Other Accounts to satisfy such amounts. Except where required by applicable law or the NACHA Rules, you waive your right to receive pre-notification of the amounts of the PADs or any change in the amounts of the PADs and agree that you do not require advance notice of the amounts of PADs or any change in the amounts of the PADs before the debits are processed. Such waiver of notification is not applicable to any one-time or sporadic debits for which Float is required to obtain your authorization in accordance with Rule H1 of the Canadian Payments Association.
  2. For transactions governed under Payments Canada regulations, this is a business PAD. You must promptly tell Float, in writing, of any change to the Designated Account. You have certain recourse rights if any PAD does not comply with this authorization. For example, you have the right to receive reimbursement for any PAD that is not authorized or is not consistent with this authorization. To obtain more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.payments.ca. You may revoke this authorization at any time, upon providing 30 days’ notice, in writing, to Float or as Float may advise from time to time. You may obtain a sample cancellation form or further information on your right to cancel a PAD agreement at your financial institution, by contacting Float or by visiting www.payments.ca. This authorization applies only to the method of payment and you agree that cancellation of this authorization does not terminate or otherwise have any effect on any contract that exists between you and Float, including this Agreement.
  3. For transactions governed under NACHA rules, both parties agree to be bound by NACHA Operating Rules as they pertain to these transactions. You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law.  You agree not to dispute these scheduled transactions with your bank provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this authorization.
  4. You understand that this authorization will remain in effect until it is canceled in writing, and you agree to notify Float in writing of any changes in its account information or termination of this authorization at least 30 days prior to the next billing date. You acknowledge that any changes an authorized representative makes to account information via an online customer portal will be considered written notice of change and will constitute authorization to charge the new account in place of the account previously identified.
  5. If the above noted payment dates fall on a weekend or holiday, you understand that the payments may be executed on the next business day. You understand that because these are electronic transactions, these funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the above noted transaction dates, and that you will have limited time to report and dispute errors.  In the case the transaction is returned for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) you understand that Float may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again within 30 days, and you agree to an additional charge for each attempt returned NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized payment. You have certified that the provided business bank account is enabled for ACH transactions, and agree to reimburse Float for all penalties and fees incurred as a result of your bank rejecting ACH debits or credits as a result of the account not being properly configured for ACH transactions.

  3. Invoicing: Float will prepare and send to the Customer, at the then-current contact information on file with Float, an invoice for any Fees that have become due and payable. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated in an invoice, Customer will pay all invoiced amounts on the 1st day of the month following the invoice date, but in any event within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. This process does not apply to Fees payable in connection with the Charge Card Services and set out on your Periodic Statement.
  4. Disputed Invoices or Charges: If Customer believes Float has charged or invoiced Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Float through though the SaaS Services or by contacting the Support Services contact set out in Section 5 no later than 45 days after having been charged by Float or receiving such invoice or Periodic Statement in which the error or problem appeared in order to request an adjustment or credit. In the event of a dispute, Customer will pay any undisputed amounts in accordance with the payment terms herein, and the parties will discuss the disputed amounts in good faith in order to resolve the dispute.
  5. Late Payment: Customer may not withhold or setoff any amounts due under this Agreement. Float reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to the Services until all due and undisputed amounts are paid in full. Any failure to pay the full amount owed to Float when required is a breach of this Agreement. You are responsible for all costs or expenses that we incur collecting amounts owed but not timely paid, including legal or collections fees. If a payment you make is returned to us for any reason, you must pay us an NSF fee of $125, and if the reason is due to insufficient funds in your Designated Account, you must immediately, and in any event within three business days, deposit sufficient funds into the Designated Account in order for us to collect the overdue payment.

  • We do not charge fees for the use of a Card. You may be charged a third-party fee by certain third parties, including retailers and financial institutions involved in the Card transaction. Such third-party fees and charges are not within our power and control. Third-party fees are part of the cost of the transaction and will be reflected in transaction costs for Card usage. You agree and authorize us to pay such fees and charges, if any, from the Settlement Funds held in your Business Account.
  • Business Cardholders and Card Users must be of the age of majority in the jurisdiction where they reside.
  • Business Cardholders and Card Users must be a Canadian citizen or residing in Canada.

If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split tender transaction prior to using your Card, your Card may be declined. Merchants do not have to and may not agree to accept split tender transactions.

Acceptance: This Agreement constitutes a binding agreement between you and us with respect to the terms of use of each Card, including use by Business Administrator and each Card User, and the Float Card Program. You agree and shall ensure the Business Administrator and each Card User is made aware of the rights and restrictions that apply to participation in the Float Card Program and use of a Card under this Agreement. You agree and shall ensure the Business Administrator and each Card User complies with this Agreement. You also agree and shall ensure that each Card User agrees to the Float Visa Prepaid Card – Card User Terms and Conditions in a form approved by Peoples Trust, and agree that you will comply with all requirements of Applicable Law when obtaining agreement to those terms and conditions from your Card Users.

The Card: The Card is a Visa Prepaid Card that can be used at any merchant that accepts Visa, subject to the limitations set out in this Agreement on the manner of use, including those in the Information Disclosure Summary above.

Activating the Card: The Card cannot be used for any purpose until it has been activated. Virtual Cards are activated upon issuance and must be added to a mobile wallet for use. To activate your physical Card, follow the instructions provided on or with the Card. Whether or not the Card has an activation sticker adhered to the Card face, you must sign the back of the Card and select a PIN.

Ownership and Use of the Cards: You represent and warrant to us and agree that: (a) you will not permit any Card User to use a Card unless: (i) the Card User is of the age of majority in the jurisdiction which they reside; and (ii) the Card User is a Canadian citizen or residing in Canada; (b) the information you provide about Card Users is or will be truthful, accurate, current, and complete, and we may rely upon it; (c) you received a copy of this Agreement and agree to be bound by and to comply with its  terms; (d) you provided a copy of the Float Visa Prepaid Card – Card User Terms and Conditions to all Card Users and each Card User has agreed to be bound by its terms; and (e) you accept each Card for use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or use by Card Users in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the Float Visa Prepaid Card – Card User Terms and Conditions.

We will issue physical or virtual Cards that you may provide to a Card User to use. Card User may use the virtual Card upon receipt. Subject to the limitations in the chart entitled “Limits” in the Information Disclosure Summary above, each Card can be used to pay the full Transaction Amount from merchants who accepts Visa, including applicable taxes. Each Card is, and will remain, our property. The Card is not a credit card, charge card, or debit card and its usage will not enhance nor improve your credit rating or the credit rating of a Card User. No interest, dividends or other earnings or returns will be paid on the Business Account, a Card Account, a Card, or a Balance.  The Business Account, a Card Account, a Card and Balance is not a deposit account and neither you nor any Card User may write cheques on the outstanding Balance.  We shall have no obligation to any Card User or to you relating to any contract or arrangement between you and a Card User.  We are not parties to your agreements with any Card User or any agreements between you, or a Card User, and any third-party.  We are not bound by the terms of any such agreements, nor are we obligated to act to fulfil any other person’s obligations under such agreement, even if we are made aware of the existence and terms of such agreement.

When the Card is used to make a purchase, the Transaction Amount will be deducted from the available Settlement Funds loaded as Balance on the Card or, otherwise, associated with the Float Card Program.  Use of the virtual card shall have the same legal and binding effect on you, as if a physical Card were used in person, verified by an authorized signature or personal identification code confirming authority to charge the Card for the full Transaction Amount. You agree that, if a merchant requires that you sign a sales draft, we are not required to verify your signature on any sales draft prepared in connection with a transaction on the Card and we may authorize and process a transaction even if the signature on the sales draft is different than the signature on the Card. 

Some merchants (including, but not limited to, restaurants, hotels, or car rental companies) may pre-authorize the Transaction Amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% (or more) above the purchase amount to ensure that there are sufficient funds available on the Card to cover any tips or incidental expenses. In such cases, your transaction will be declined if the Balance will not cover the Transaction Amount plus the additional pre-authorization percentage.

A pre-authorization will place a hold on an amount of your available Card funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the pre-authorization amount on hold in excess of that final payment amount will be released. 

During the hold period, you will not have access to the pre-authorized amount.

You will be solely and completely responsible for the possession, use and control of each Card. You must disable or delete a Card immediately upon request by us.  The Cards are issued to you only.  If you allow another person, including a Card User or Business Administrator, to use a Card, you agree, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law that you will be liable for all transactions arising from use of a Card. 

We are not liable to you or a Card User for declining authorization for any particular transaction, regardless of our reason, including but not limited to if there are insufficient Settlement Funds or Balance to pay for the transaction.  If for any reason a Card transaction is processed when there are insufficient funds loaded on the Card or other Settlement Funds, you agree to make immediate payment to us to cover the Transaction Amount. 

We may, in our sole discretion, cancel or suspend any features or services of the Card at any time, with or without cause, upon notice to you or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

You represent and agree that the Cards are issued to you for a business purpose only.

You agree that we may treat every instruction we receive as being initiated by or from you or persons authorized by you to provide instructions, including your Business Administrator or Card User, and as a valid and authorized instruction by you to process and pay for Card transactions from funds loaded on the Card or otherwise from the Settlement Funds unless we have been notified of a risk of fraud or unauthorized use and had opportunity to deactivate the Card.

Information About Balance: It is your responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient Balance on the Card to cover transactions plus any pre-authorized amounts. To obtain the current Balance amount, or the transaction history, visit the Website. The Balance will reflect all transactions that have been posted to our system. You are not allowed to exceed the Balance available on the Card for any transaction.

If you attempt to use the Card when there is insufficient Balance available to cover the full Transaction Amount, the transaction in most instances will be declined. However, if due to a systems malfunction or for any reason whatsoever, a transaction occurs despite insufficient Balance on the Card, creating a negative amount, you agree to reimburse us, upon request, for the amount of the Transaction Amount in excess of the Balance.

Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies: We may convert any transactions made in a foreign currency to Canadian dollars using the Visa Conversion Rate in effect on the day the transaction is posted to your Card Account. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date. The Visa Conversion Rate may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was made.

However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to the Card, the Visa Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the applicable rate that we pay to Visa on the date of the refund. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Visa may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded. For these reasons, the amount that is credited to the Card for a refund of a foreign currency transaction will, in most cases, be less than the amount that was originally charged to the Card for that transaction.

Protection Against Unauthorized Use: If a Card is lost, stolen or subject to unauthorized use, you must notify us immediately and provide us with the Card number and answer an identifying question. If you lose or misdirect the Card, someone might be able to use the Balance on the Card.  You are responsible and must pay for all Card transactions that are completed before you notify us by calling 1-833-944-3175. Those transactions will be binding on and payable by you as if made by you or with your lawful authorization.  We will have a customer service representative or automated voice response service available seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day that will allow immediate cancellation of the Card upon your request.  As a condition to any reimbursements made or to be made, if you are entitled to receive one, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you agree to cooperate and assist with any attempts by us to investigate and recover from unauthorized users and to assist in prosecution of recovery claims.

Notification and Changes to the Agreement: You acknowledge that from time to time we may amend this Agreement. Use of a Card subsequent to such amendments shall constitute acceptance of the amended Agreement.

You are responsible for (i) informing us of any change in your mailing or email address, by contacting customer service at 1-833-944-3175 or by email at support@floatcard.com, and (ii) for regularly checking the Website for notifications of amendments to the Agreement.  Notice will be deemed to be received by you five (5) days after mailing, the next business day after sending an electronic mail or other electronic message or posting notice of amendment on the Website.  You are solely responsible for notifying Card Users of any changes to this Agreement which may affect the Card User’s rights or obligations with respect to a Card and agree that you shall make reasonable and timely efforts to do so.

Card User Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: April 2023

These Float Visa* Card – Card User Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) set out the terms and conditions applicable to the Float Visa Card. IMPORTANT: These Terms include resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court and a class action waiver.

You agree to be bound by these Terms, which you must accept as a condition of using the Card. You agree that the ability to use the Card in the course of your relationship with Business Cardholder, and in accordance with these Terms, is of value to you and good consideration for your agreement to these Terms.

INFORMATION DISCLOSURE SUMMARY (detailed terms and conditions will follow):

Card Issuer: Peoples Trust Company issues the Card pursuant to a license from Visa International Incorporated.

Cardholder:

  • The Card is issued to Business Cardholder.  The “Business Cardholder” is the entity that has qualified and established a Business Account with us pursuant to a separate Cardholder Agreement, as well as a separate agreement with Float Financial Solutions, Inc, to provide corporate expenses management expense services.
  • Business Cardholder is permitted to provide the Card to you for use in your capacity as a “Card User” in the manner contemplated in these Terms. Business Cardholder has an arrangement in place that permits Business Cardholder, or its Business Administrator, to instruct us whether or not to fund transactions initiated by you with the Card from funds provided to us in advance by Business Cardholder. Your ability to make purchases using the Card is subject to the terms and conditions of your agreements with Business Cardholder and transaction approval by Business Cardholder. We only fund transactions as instructed by Business Cardholder or its Business Administrator.  You have no right to directly instruct us to load funds onto the Card.
  • We are not parties to any agreements between you and Business Cardholder and are not bound by the terms of any such agreement.  We are not obligated to act to fulfil the obligations of any party under your agreements with Business Cardholder, even if we are made aware of the existence and terms of such agreement.
  • We are not extending credit to you or Business Cardholder through the Card.
  • Card transactions will only be funded if Business Cardholder has made funds available to us to settle the transactions in advance.  If those funds have not been made available to us the transaction will be declined.  We also have a general right to decline any transaction for any reason. In such case your sole recourse, if any, is against Business Cardholder. You will have no right of action against us or any service providers or third parties required to fulfill and manage the Card.
  • Float may offer and provide services to Business Cardholders and Card Users as a service to Business Cardholders, and not on behalf of Peoples Trust Company. Those services provided by Float are subject to the Float Terms between Float and Business Cardholders or Card Users.

Card information and inquiries: If you have questions regarding your use of the Card, these Terms, or to lodge a complaint, you may contact us by calling 1-833-944-3175 or emailing support@floatcard.com.

Key Card features and restrictions:

  • Card does not carry a balance loaded onto it. For information about the balance of funds you may be able to spend using the Card under your agreements with Business Cardholder, you must contact Business Cardholder.

  • Card Users are given possession of the Card for the purpose of initiating a transaction request to Business Cardholder.  
  • We do not charge Card Users any fees for the use of the Card. Some transactions could attract third party fees and charges, which could be reflected in transaction costs. Such third-party fees and charges are not within our power and control, are part and parcel of the cost of the transactions and you agree that such fees and charges will be included in the transaction amount processed on the Card for transactions you initiate. Your liability to Business Cardholder for any amounts paid to settle transactions on the Card, and fees, if any, are charged by Business Cardholder, is governed by your agreements with Business Cardholder.
  • You cannot use the Card to access cash and have no right to make cash withdrawals using the Card.

Business Cardholder is responsible and liable to us for all Card transactions that are completed before we are notified that such an event has occurred and also if Business Cardholder approves transactions on any such Card.  You may be liable to Business Cardholder for some or all such transactions.  Your liability to Business Cardholder is subject to the terms of your agreements with Business Cardholder.

Key Responsibilities under these Terms include:

  • You must take all reasonable steps to protect the Card (and PIN, if applicable) against loss, theft, or unauthorized use. If you suspect that the Card (or PIN), has been lost, stolen or misused, you must contact us and Business Cardholder (or its Business Administrator) immediately.

1. About the Card

The Card is owned by Peoples Trust and will remain the property of Peoples Trust. You agree that immediately upon request by us or by Business Cardholder, you will return the Card to us or Business Cardholder or destroy the Card as instructed. The Card is provided to you by Business Cardholder as contemplated in these Terms. You may not sell, transfer or assign the Card to a third party. You are restricted to one Card.  The Card is not a credit card, charge card, debit card or deposit account.  Usage of the Card alone will not enhance or improve your credit rating. No interest dividends or other earnings or returns will be paid on a Card. 

2. Using the Card

To use a Card you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 19 years of age (if you reside in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and Yukon) or, if you reside in another province, at least 18 years of age; (b) you are a Canadian citizen or residing in Canada; (c) the information you provide to us or to Business Cardholder to provide to us, is truthful, accurate, current, and complete; and (d) you received a copy of these Terms and agree to be bound by and to comply with them.

We will issue a Card to Business Cardholder that you may be permitted to use under these Terms. You may use the Card upon receipt and without prior activation.

If you receive a physical Card, you must sign the back of the physical Card delivered to you in the indicated signature area immediately upon receipt. You are required to activate the physical Card before you use it as described below in “Activating a Card”. The Card may not be used for any illegal purpose, including transactions for goods or services prohibited by Applicable Law. We may, at our sole discretion, deny any transaction, for any reason. We are not obligated to disclose those reasons to you.

If Business Cardholder does not approve payment on the Card of sufficient funds to pay for the full amount of a transaction, you may request the merchant conduct a split tender transaction. A split tender transaction is where you use the Card to settle partial payment of the transaction amount and then pay the remainder of the amount with another form of payment (e.g. cash, cheque, credit or debit). If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split tender transaction prior to swiping the Card, and your transaction is not approved for any reason, including insufficient funds available, the Card may be declined. The merchant does not have to and may not agree to accept split tender transactions.

3. Activating a Card

Whether or not a physical Card has an activation sticker adhered to the Card face, the physical Card must be activated to use.  In order to activate a physical Card Business Cardholder provided to you to use, you will need to provide certain personal information to verify your identity as the Card User and then select a PIN.

4. Cancellation of the card

We may cancel the Card and/or these Terms at any time and without prior notice to you if fraud is suspected or for any other reason. Business Cardholder (or its Business Administrator) may cancel the Card for any reason, and we are entitled to act on Business Cardholder’s (or its Business Administrator’s) instructions to do so. If the Card is terminated and you have not been requested to return it, you must destroy and securely dispose of it. Your obligations under these Terms continue after the destruction of the Card and cancelation of the Card. If charges continue to be made on the Card delivered to you to use as a Card User, or you attempt to use the Card after cancelation, we may pay for such transactions if instructed by Business Cardholder to do so. If these Terms or the Card are cancelled, your liability to Business Cardholder for any transaction, whether processed or settled before or after the Card is cancelled, will not be affected. Your liability to Business Cardholder for any transactions is governed by your agreements with Business Cardholder.

5. Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies

We may convert any transactions made in a foreign currency to Canadian dollars using the Visa Conversion Rate in effect on the day the transaction is posted to your Card. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date. The Visa Conversion Rate may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was made.

However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to the Card, the Visa Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the applicable rate that we pay to Visa on the date of the refund. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Visa may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded. For these reasons, the amount that is credited to the Card for a refund of a foreign currency transaction will, in most cases, be less than the amount that was originally charged to the Card for that transaction.

6. Lost or Stolen Card and Unauthorized Use

You must take reasonable steps to protect the Card against loss, theft or unauthorized use. If the Card is lost, stolen or subject to unauthorized use, you must contact us immediately by calling 1-833-944-3175.  Business Cardholder is responsible and liable to us for all Card transactions that are completed before we are notified that such an event has occurred and also if Business Cardholder approves transactions on any such Card.  You may be liable to Business Cardholder for some or all such transactions. Your liability to Business Cardholder is subject to the terms of your agreements with Business Cardholder. THIS CARD IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PROTECTION UNDER ANY ZERO LIABILITY POLICY. You agree to cooperate and assist with any attempts by us or by Business Cardholder to recover any loss suffered from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution. You acknowledge that you understand that if you do not comply with these Terms, other persons may be able to obtain information about you or the Card.

7. Complaints

You agree that we will not be liable in any way for any dispute arising out of the purchase of merchandise or services using the Card or any dispute about accessing Business Cardholder funds that Business Cardholder has agreed to make available for purchases by you. We are not responsible for any failure to supply, lack of suitability or quality of any goods or services purchased from any merchant through the use of the Card. We are not liable for any action or failure to act of the merchant or a refusal by any merchant to honour the Card whether or not such failure or refusal is a result of any error or malfunction of equipment used to effect an authorization of the Card. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or inconvenience you may incur if you are unable to use the Card as a result of any failure, error, malfunction or technical problem with or at our service providers’ systems or equipment, or with a POS.

If you identify an error with a transaction, you must try to resolve the issue with the merchant as well as notify Business Cardholder. You may still be liable for payment of a disputed transaction to Business Cardholder. For information about such disputes, or how credits, if any, issued by merchant to the Card may be allocated against your debt obligations to Business Cardholder, you must contact Business Cardholder.  Any amounts credited to the Card for returns will be treated by us as credits to and for the benefit of Business Cardholder as the Cardholder.  Any obligation to extend the benefit of such amounts by returning funds to you or crediting funds against any obligation you may have to Business Cardholder is an issue solely between you and Business Cardholder and subject to your agreements with Business Cardholder.

If you wish to dispute any transaction or entry made with the Card, you must contact us immediately by calling 1-833-944-3175. 

If you are not satisfied with the customer service decision, you may also contact Peoples Trust by calling 1-855-694-6214, or following our complaint handling process, which can be found at https://www.peoplestrust.com/en/about-us/resolving-your-concerns/.

If for some reason we are unable to resolve your inquiry or concern relating to the Card, you may refer your inquiry or concern to the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments at 1-888-451-4519. You may also contact the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) in writing at 427 Laurier Ave. West, 6th Floor, Ottawa, ON K1R 1B9. The FCAC can also be contacted by telephone at 1-866-461-3222 or through its website at www.fcac-acfc.gc.ca.

Disputes about your arrangements or any agreement with Business Cardholder should be directed to Business Cardholder. We will not become involved in any such dispute between you and Business Cardholder or between you and another party.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural security measures that comply with Canadian regulations to safeguard Card User Information.

We and our service providers may use and store your Card User Information at facilities in various countries (including Canada and the United States of America). As such, your Card User Information may be subject to foreign laws (which might be different from the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are located), and may be accessible to foreign courts, governments, law enforcement and regulatory agencies and security authorities without notice. The laws on data protection in other jurisdictions, to which we may transfer your information, may differ from those in your jurisdiction and any personal information transferred to another jurisdiction will be subject to law enforcement and national security authorities in that jurisdiction.

We also build fraud prevention measures into our due diligence processes and regularly update our fraud detection/prevention methods.

Float provides an online spend management platform through which our customers can load funds onto prepaid corporate cards (“Card(s)”), set rules and budgets for expenditures made using those cards, track spending by individual employees, and manage and track business spending, through which Float can calculate cashback each customer has earned through their expenditures and derive insights for our customers on employee spending patterns (collectively the “Services”). In the course of providing these Services, we receive and process personal information as described below to provide the Services to our customers. All personal information collected or derived from an employee may be shared with our customer that issued credit cards to those employees. We do not use this information for any other purpose except as set out in this privacy policy, customer’s agreement with us, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.

  • Information required to provide the Services:  In order to provide the Services to our customers, we collect, process, and disclose:
    1. Personal and Authorized User Information: Including names, titles, and email addresses of employees to whom our customers have issued credit cards. Information provided about any users who will be issued a Card, such as their name, email address, social security number (if required), forms of ID (e.g. Driver’s License or Passport) and phone number.

We use this information to create and administer user accounts, authenticate users, process payments, and manage access and control rights. We ask that you do not disclose your password to anyone, and you are responsible for keeping your password confidential. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (such as letters, phone calls or email messages). If you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account, you are required to notify us immediately.
    4. Booking a Demo: If you request a free consultation or demo, we may collect your name, job title, and business contact information (including company email and phone number), and certain information about your company.

    5. Platform Use: We may monitor use of the platform by our customers’ employees or other authorized users in order to detect, investigate or prevent any actual or potential violation of our terms and conditions.

    6. Information related to an ACH payment: If you fund your account from a US-based bank using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, we will collect information in line with the operating rules and requirements as defined by the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA).

We use this information for the purpose of processing, evaluating and responding to your application.
    11. Surveys: From time to time, we may offer our customers the opportunity to participate in one of our surveys. The information obtained through our surveys is used in an aggregated, de-identified form. We use this information to help us understand our users and to enhance our Website.

Contact Us: When you contact us with a comment, question or complaint through email, telephone, or the Website, you may be asked for information that identifies you, such as your name, email address, and a telephone number, along with additional information we need to help us promptly answer your question or respond to your comment.

(“Cardholder,” “you,” and “your”) on behalf of Thread Bank (“Bank,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” including our successors, affiliates, and assignees), a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
The Agreement is an agreement between you and us governing the use of your Card and Account (as defined below) issued by us. We are the provider of the Card and Account. The words “you” and “your” refer to the legal entity whose Authorized Representative agrees to be bound by this Agreement.


Access to your Account and the services under this Agreement are available only through Platform’s website

available to you. You should review your agreement with Platform for a complete list of services available. For a
list of the services enabled and made available to you by the Platform, please visit the Platform App. Access to
your Account and the services offered under this Agreement shall be accessed through the Platform App unless
we notify you otherwise. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY OPENING AN ACCOUNT THROUGH THE PLATFORM
APP, YOU AUTHORIZE BANK TO ACCEPT ALL INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED TO BANK BY PLATFORM ON

you are required to provide us your business entity name, valid U.S. principal and local address (if different), date

Those individuals may be required to provide additional information or identifying documents that we request, such as Social Security Number (SSN) or other government-issued identification number, date of birth, driver’s license, passport, or other identifying documents. You must tell us when this information changes. We may ask you for additional documents to verify any changes. We may restrict or close your Account if we cannot verify your information, or if you do not provide it as requested. The account cannot be owned or titled jointly. You are responsible for use of the Account by others as set forth in this Agreement.

C. USING YOUR ACCOUNT

Permitted Use. You agree to use your Account in accordance with this Cardmember Agreement and applicable law. You agree to use your Account for lawful transactions only. You must not use, or try to use, the Account for any illegal activity. You may use your Account only for business or commercial purposes, and not for any personal, family, or household purposes. Your Card can be used to buy or lease goods or services wherever the Card is honored. You may be able to establish recurring periodic billing arrangements with merchants. In that regard, it is your responsibility to ensure such merchants are provided with current Card information. If your Account information changes, such as a change in Card number or Card expiration date, you consent to our providing such new Card information, in our discretion, to any or all such merchants, but we are not obligated to do so. If your Account is closed or your Account or Card privileges are suspended or terminated, you understand that you may need to contact the applicable merchant(s) to ensure that automatic payments stop. Each Cardholder must sign the Card when it is received, and you must return the Card to us or destroy it if we ask you to. “Cardholder” means you or a natural person, including your employee, to whom we issue a Card under this Agreement. You may not use your Card Account for balance transfers.

Credit Authorizations. We do not guarantee approval of transactions. We may not authorize a transaction for security or other reasons, such as Account default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity, internet gambling, or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction. We will not be liable to you if we decline to authorize a transaction or if anyone refuses your Card,  or Account number.

Purchases. You may use your Account to make Purchases by presenting your Card or providing your Card number and additional information (for example, in online or telephone transactions) to participating merchants and establishments that honor the Card. We will not be liable to you (or anyone else) if any ATM, merchant or other person cannot or will not process a Purchase transaction permitted under this Agreement. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may from time to time limit the type, number and dollar amount of any transaction, even if you have sufficient available credit to complete the transaction and may terminate or suspend your use of the Card or the Account, with or without notice to you before or at the time we take such action.

Promise to Pay. When you use your Account or let someone else use it, you promise to pay the total amount of the transactions made, plus all interest, fees and other amounts that you may owe us. We may limit or close your Account, but the terms of this Agreement will apply until you pay the Account in full.

Revocation of Contingent Agreements: Concurrent with this Agreement, you have signed both a Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement and a Security Agreement with Float Financial Solutions U.S. Inc. While both the Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement and the Security Agreement exists between you and Float (and not you and Thread), in the event that you revoke either the Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement or the Security Agreement with Float, we may opt to close your Account with us, at the direction of Float if you do so.

Card Activation. You must activate your Card prior to use. You can activate it by accessing Float. If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please deactivate the Card by notifying us 1 (833) 944 3175, or by emailing Float at support@floatcard.com

Expiration Date. The expiration date of each Card is identified on the back of the Card. Each Cardholder agrees to sign the back of the Card immediately upon receipt. Each Card is our property and must be surrendered to us or discarded upon demand. Each Card is non-transferable, and it may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement.  

Virtual Card. You may have the option of accessing your Card Account with, in addition to your physical card, a virtual card represented by a 16-digit account number (“Virtual Card”). The Virtual Card may either be single-use, meaning the 16-digit account number will expire after a single transaction, or recurring-use, meaning you may use your 16-digit Account number for multiple transactions. You may not use your Virtual Card to obtain cash anywhere. 

Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies. If you make a purchase in a currency other than dollars, the amount of the charge to your Card Account will be converted by Mastercard International Incorporated into dollars. The currency conversion rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is either a rate selected by Mastercard International Incorporated from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable processing date, which may vary from the rate Mastercard International Incorporated itself receives, or the government-mandated rate, where applicable in effect for the applicable processing date. 

Card Not Present Transactions. If you use the 16-digit Card number without presenting the Card in person (such as for a mail order, telephone, or internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you had physically presented the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of such transactions you may make.  

Processing Errors. We will rectify any processing error that we discover. If the error results in a charge of more than the correct amount, we will credit the Card Account for the difference. If the error results in a charge of less than the correct amount, we will charge the difference to the Card Account.  

Card on File. If you keep your Card on file with a merchant or payee with authorization to bill that Card for recurring payments, or to make future purchases or payments, you may need to notify each merchant of your updated Card information, such as a new Card number or expiration date, to ensure payments are uninterrupted. 

Receipts. You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.   

Digital Wallets. You can add your Card to a digital wallet by following the instructions of the digital wallet. The digital wallet may not be accepted in all places where your Card is accepted. We may terminate the ability for you to add the Card to a digital wallet at any time. You should contact the digital wallet provider to remove a Card from the digital wallet. We can end or suspend your ability to use a Card with the digital wallet at any time. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your digital wallet credentials (including user identification, password or other access credentials). If you share these credentials with any other person, you expressly authorize that person to have access to your personal information, to access your Card Account and to initiate charges to your Card Account using the digital wallet service. We currently do not impose a fee for using your Card with a digital wallet, but we reserve the right to impose a fee in the future. Please note that a digital wallet provider or another third party enabling or associated with your use of a digital wallet may charge a fee for using your Card with such digital wallet service. We are not a provider of any digital wallet service that you may choose to use, and we are not responsible for providing the digital wallet service to you. We are only responsible for supplying information securely to the digital wallet provider to enable usage of the Card in such digital wallet. We are not responsible for any failure of the digital wallet or the inability to use the digital wallet for any transaction. We are not responsible for the performance or non-performance of the digital wallet provider or any other third parties regarding any agreement you enter into with the digital wallet provider or associated third-party relationships that may impact your use of the digital wallet. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF A DIGITAL WALLET SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, OR ACCURACY. You agree that we may exchange your information with your digital wallet provider, a payment network (e.g., Visa and Mastercard), and others in order to enable your use of a digital wallet service, make information available to you about your Card transactions, and improve our ability to offer our services in connection with a digital wallet service. We do not control how digital wallet providers or other third parties use the information received in connection with digital wallet services, and the use of such information is governed by such party’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the security of the information provided to any digital wallet provider or stored in a digital wallet. We are not responsible if a security breach occurs that affects any information stored in, or sent from, a digital wallet.  

D. AVAILABLE CREDIT ON YOUR CARD

Available Credit on Account. The “available credit” on your Account is the amount of credit that is available for you to make transactions at any given time. The available credit on your Account at any given time is equal to the “available balance” in an external, Float Visa Prepaid Card less your Card Account Balance. Specific terms related to the Float Visa Prepaid Card can be found www.floatcard.com/legal. There is no privity of contract between you or us regarding the Float Visa Prepaid Card, and the Float Visa Prepaid Card and its related terms exist as a separate contract between you and People’s Trust Company, as presented by Float. Information regarding available funds (and hence available credit) is viewable on the Platform App.

Account Balance. Your purchases decrease your available credit. Your Account Balance reflects the full amount of purchases that we have authorized to be debited to your Card Account. It does not reflect transactions that you have authorized with a third party but have not yet been submitted to us. We may charge to your Account Balance the amount any merchant holds on the Card that we have authorized and any other holds, such as to comply with legal processes. Pending transactions and holds also may cause your Account Balance to exceed your available credit during the time the transaction is pending or a hold is in effect when other transactions may be charged to your Account. An authorization hold is not payment for an authorized transaction. The transaction is subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. The release of the hold will be in the form of a credit to your Account for the amount of the original hold, and any payment submitted to us for payment by the merchant will be debited to your Account. We also may debit or credit your Account Balance in the amount of any necessary adjustment due to a chargeback or error or for any other reason.

Deposit Account Holds. When you make a transaction on the Account, the Platform will place an equivalent amount of funds in the Float Visa Prepaid Card on hold and classified as “Spent Money.” The Spent Money will remain on your Float Visa Prepaid Card, but is placed on hold (by Float and not us). You agree not to use your Account in any way that would cause the Account Balance to exceed the available balance in the Float Visa Prepaid Card.

Posting Available Credit. You can use the Platform App to view the amount of your available credit at any time on your Account. You are responsible for keeping track of your Account Balance and available credit. 

E. MAKING PAYMENTS

Minimum Payment Due. You must pay the full Account balance on the Periodic statement each month in U.S. Dollars. You have the option however, to pay the Account balance in full on a more frequent basis without penalty.

Payment Instructions. You must pay the full Account balance each month in U.S. Dollars. Please do not send cash, checks or money orders. You or the Platform on your behalf may only make electronic payments using either a U.S. bank account or debit card. We may refuse to accept a payment in a foreign currency. If we do accept it, we may charge your Account our cost to convert it to U.S. dollars. We can accept late payments, partial payments or payments marked “payment in full” or with any other restrictive endorsement without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. We credit your payments in accordance with the terms contained on your billing statement. If a third party makes a payment on your Account and we return all or a part of such payment, then we may adjust your Account for any amount returned. We reserve the right to defend ourselves against any demand to return funds we have received, and may agree to a compromise of the demanded amount as part of a settlement.

F. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Events of Default. We may declare you to be in default under this Agreement if any of the following events occur: (i) you do not pay the Account balance when it is due; (ii) any payment you make is returned, rejected, not paid, or cannot be processed, and you have otherwise failed to pay the Account balance when it is due; (iii) you file or become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (iv) we determine that you made a false, incomplete or misleading statement to us, or you tried to defraud us; (v) you revoke your consent under the “Consent to Electronic Signatures, Communications, and Statements” agreement to receive Communications electronically; (vi) you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement with us or an affiliate, including failing to make a required payment when due, exceeding your Account credit line or using your Card or Account for an illegal transaction. (vii) we believe in good faith that your ability to pay or perform the obligations under this Agreement has been materially impaired; (viii) significant change occurs in your ownership, organizational structure, or type or volume of business; (ix) you are in default of any other credit, loan, leasing or similar agreement for the extension of credit you have with us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates; or (x) you violate applicable law in connection with the Card Account.

If you are in default, we may take any or all of the following actions, and any other actions we have a right to take under applicable law, against you in accordance with applicable law, without notifying you, unless applicable law says that we must give you notice: (i) close or suspend your Card(s) and Card Account; (ii) reduce your available credit; (iii) demand that you immediately pay the Account Balance; (iv) declare you to be in default under any other agreement you have with us and exercise our remedies under that other agreement; or (v) file a lawsuit against you, or pursue another action that is not prohibited by law.

G. LIABILITY; AUTHORIZED AND UNAUTHORIZED USE

Except as otherwise provided herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you are liable for all amounts due under this Cardmember Agreement regardless of who receives the benefit associated with such amounts due. 

Unauthorized Use. You may be liable for the unauthorized use of your Card, or Card Account, that occurs prior to you notifying us of such use. Your liability for such unauthorized use that occurs prior to you notifying us will not exceed the lesser of $50.00 or the amount of money, property, labor or services obtained by the unauthorized use. You will not be liable for unauthorized use that occurs after we receive your notification, either by phone or in writing using our contact information set forth in the General Terms below or by contacting us electronically using Float, and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice.  

You agree to provide us your assistance to investigate why any unauthorized use occurred, to respond to our reasonable request for information related to the unauthorized use, to provide us documents in a form we request (including an affidavit), and to correct the problem. In the case of any unauthorized transaction claimed by you, you give us all of your rights against others regarding that transaction. You will also: (i) give us any information about the disputed transaction, if we ask; (ii) not pursue any claim with respect to the transaction amount from the merchant or any other person; and (iii) help us pursue liability from others. You must identify for us the charges on the Card Account that were not made by you or someone authorized by you and for which you received no benefit. 

Mastercard Zero Liability. Under Mastercard Zero Liability Protection, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized transactions if you have used reasonable care in protecting your Card from loss or theft, and you promptly report the loss or theft to us. Mastercard Zero Liability applies to purchases made in store, over the telephone, online or via a mobile device. Mastercard Zero Liability does not apply to certain Mastercard payment cards that are used for commercial purposes. 

Authorized Use. You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated with use of the Card or Card Account. You agree that unauthorized use does not include use by a person to whom you have given authority to use the Card or Card Account or any transaction from which you received a benefit. You agree that you will be liable for all use by such a person until you notify us that such authority to use the Card or Card Account is no longer authorized and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. We will replace your Card and Card Account subject to your payment of a replacement fee specified in this Cardmember Agreement.  

Card Access. You understand that you are solely responsible for protecting access to, and use of, your Card and Card Account, including if your mobile phone or other electronic device can function as a Card or otherwise store or display your Card or Card Account information, including in a digital wallet. You must take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of your Card. CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR CARD OR CARD ACCOUNT HAS BEEN LOST, STOLEN, ACCESSED, OR USED BY ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSON. You may ask us to lock any Card, and we may take other actions we deem necessary to protect the security of your Card Account on our systems. Locking a Card may not prevent all unauthorized transactions and will not prevent transactions that have already been initiated. If your Card is lost or stolen or if you think someone else may be using your Card or Card Account without your permission, notify Float immediately. We are not responsible for any losses you incur if anyone refuses to accept your Card for any reason. We may decline to authorize a transaction for any reason without liability to you. We are not responsible for any losses you incur if we do not authorize a transaction. We are not liable for any losses that may result when our Card and Card Account services are unavailable due to reasons beyond our control. In no event shall we be obligated to reissue a lost or stolen card.  

Merchant Goods and Services. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of the goods and services you purchase from merchants with the Card. Merchants have no authority to make representations or warranties on our behalf, to bind us or to enter into any agreement on our behalf. Except as otherwise permitted by applicable law, all disputes concerning those matters should be addressed to the merchants from whom the goods and services were purchased. 

Disclaimer of Warranty. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR REQUIRED BY LAW, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO YOU, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE CARD, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 

H. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Collection Costs. If we use an attorney to collect your Account, we may charge you our legal costs except as prohibited by law. These include reasonable attorneys’ fees, court or other collection costs, and fees and costs of any appeal.

Automatic Updates With Third Parties. You may set up automatic billing, or store your Card information, with a merchant, wallet provider, or other third party. If your Card information changes, which may include billing address, you authorize us to provide this updated information to any such merchant, wallet provider, or other third party at our discretion. You must contact the merchant, wallet provider, or other third party directly, or remove your Card information from the merchant site, wallet provider, or third party, if you wish to stop such automatic billing or updates with third parties.

Cancellation of Your Account. You may cancel your Account. You will remain responsible for any amount you owe us under this Agreement. We may cancel, suspend or not renew your Account at any time without notice.

Governing Law. Except as provided in the “ARBITRATION” section, this Agreement is governed by applicable federal law and by Tennessee law, without regard to its choice-of-law rules. 

Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid, the rest of it will still remain in effect. However, if the waiver of class actions in the “ARBITRATION” section is invalidated in any proceeding in which you and we are involved, then the entire “ARBITRATION” section will be void with respect to that proceeding.

Enforcing this Agreement. We may delay enforcing or not enforce any of our rights under this Agreement without losing or waiving any of them.

Assignment of Account. We may sell, assign or transfer your Account or any portion of it without notice to you. You may not sell, assign or transfer your Account without first obtaining our prior written consent.

In addition, in the event that you receive an arbitration award that is greater than our last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to require us to pay your attorneys’ fees and costs. Otherwise, each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless of who prevails, except as otherwise awarded by the arbitrator in accordance with applicable law. 

The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. Costs will be allocated in the same way as costs are allocated in arbitration by a single arbitrator. A final and binding award is subject to judicial review only as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. An arbitration award will be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act by any court having jurisdiction.
