6.12.1 enters the security information on the Online Portal to confirm a Transaction is authorised, or when it is instructed via API with the relevant security credentials;

6.12.2 when you or your Account Manager submits a request for a creation of a Virtual Card via the Online Portal, you shall ‎be deemed to have ‎‎authorised any subsequent Virtual Card Transaction made using such Virtual Card up to the authorisation value ‎specified ‎when creating the request for creation of the Virtual Card;‎

Until we are reimbursed this negative balance amount, we may arrange for your ‎Account, including Card(s) to be suspended. We may also report the negative balance to credit reference agencies.‎

6.16 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of a Merchant where the Card Transaction occurred, we will ‎seek to recover the negative balance amount from the Merchant.‎

6.17 Where a negative balance arises because of an error on the part of the recipient of the payment or us, we will seek to recover ‎the negative balance amount from the person who made the error.‎

Any further fees for the transactions will be ducted directly from your balance.

6.24 The value of each Transaction and the amount of any Fees payable by you under this Agreement will be deducted from the Available Balance.

6.25 You will remain responsible for the use of the Services, and for any Fees and charges incurred by the Cardholder(s) or the Account Manager, and you will continue to be regarded as the holder of any funds already or subsequently loaded on the Account. The use of a Card in relation to which an Cardholder has been registered will be regarded as confirmation that you have provided the Cardholder with this Agreement.

2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card‎ will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable).  These limits may also change over time based on your Account and/or Card‎ usage; any such change will be communicated to you.  You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such.

2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or ‎Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases ‎on a train, aeroplane, underground  or toll  payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur.  In this ‎case the process in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 inclusive will apply.‎

2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will ‎place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released ‎by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the ‎Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr ‎must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 inclusive will apply.‎

2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.
