You acknowledge that you have been given adequate opportunity to read and understand the Agreement and that you have read, are aware of, and agree to, all the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
You confirm that you accept and will comply with the Agreement.
1. The card
1.1 The Card is a reloadable, prepaid card and you can accordingly spend only what you have loaded onto the Card.
1.2 The Card allows you to lock in the exchange rate at the time of purchase or reload, providing you with a safe and convenient way to manage your travel money. You need to be aware that exchange control procedures may cause delays and that we will not be liable for any claims, losses and/or damage due to these delays.
1.3 The funds available for use and the use of your Card are subject to the Exchange Control Regulations.
1.4 Any person resident in South Africa travelling internationally, either for business or leisure, may purchase the Card, subject to the Exchange Control Regulations.
1.5 When you purchase the Card, we provide you with one Card and one Additional Card.
1.6 Subject to our consent and the Exchange Control Regulations, the Card may be sold to you as Parent/Guardian for use by a Minor travelling internationally.
1.7 Subject to the Exchange Control Regulations, you may choose to load or reload any of the Currencies onto your Card.
1.8 If we introduce a new Currency or remove any of the Currencies, the Agreement will continue to apply.
1.9 You can determine the amount of each Currency to be loaded onto your Card, which Currency will then be held in the applicable Currency Pocket.
1.10 Payment for the loading of the Currencies onto your Card will be made by you in ZAR, and the exchange rate will be the Nedbank Retail Rate.
1.11 There are various methods currently available to you to load or reload the Card. This Agreement will apply to any additional methods made available by us.
1.12 There is no interest payable to you on the credit balance on the Card.
1.13 Before we issue the Card you must provide to us in writing:
1.13.1 details of your mode of transport, the date of departure and your destination;
1.13.2 an undertaking that travel will commence within 60 days from the date on which you purchased the Card;
1.13.3 an undertaking that you will not purchase Currency in excess of the applicable limits;
1.13.4 an undertaking that if your travel arrangements are cancelled, you will sell the available Currency on your Card within 30 days of cancellation; and
1.13.5 an undertaking that you will offer for sale to an authorised dealer within 30 days of your return to South Africa, all unspent Currencies purchased for the trip, which will be converted to Rands.
1.14 If you are not an existing client, we will verify your identity and proof of residence as required by law.
1.15 If there are credit funds on the Card and the Card is not used for 12 months, you will have to pay a Fee, as referred to in clause 11 below, for each month that the Card remains inactive after the 12-month period, until this Agreement expires or you resume using the Card for travel purposes. This Fee will be deducted from the Card Fund until the Card Fund has been reduced to zero.
2. Using the card
2.1 The Card can be used worldwide wherever you see the Mastercard Acceptance Mark at ATMs and merchants, including shops and restaurants, provided there are sufficient funds available on the Card to cover the Transactions and all related Fees, subject to any restrictions in the Agreement. Although the Mastercard Acceptance Mark may be displayed, the Card might not operate in some countries due to restrictions.
2.2 The Card cannot be used in South Africa or other CMA countries.
2.3 The Card can be used only if it is in credit and you must ensure at all times that you have sufficient funds for all Charges.
2.4 You will be able to make a balance enquiry on the Nedbank Money app by activating the Travel Card function with your Travel Card number. This will allow you to see all your Currency Pocket balances and your Transaction history.
2.5 The amount you can withdraw from ATMs or spend at merchants may be limited not only to the Card Fund, but also to the limits that may be imposed by some ATM operators and merchants.
2.6 You may also be able to make a balance enquiry at some overseas ATMs, although availability is dependent on the country and the ATM used. There may be a Fee payable to the ATM operator for balance enquiries.
2.7 An overseas ATM will not display a balance for each Currency Pocket. If you are in a country where the local currency is one of the Currencies loaded onto your Card, the ATM will display the available balance of that Currency Pocket only and will exclude all other Currency Pockets. If you are in a country where the local currency is not one of the Currencies loaded onto your Card, the ATM will display the available balance in the first Currency Pocket in the Order of Priority in the local currency and will exclude all other Currency Pockets. An accurate balance for each Currency Pocket can be obtained on the Nedbank Money app.
2.8 Merchants that accept the Card are required to seek authorisation from us for all the Transactions that you make and we cannot stop a Transaction once it has been successfully authorised.
2.9 Some merchants may not be able to authorise your Transaction if they cannot obtain online authorisation from us. Examples include some inflight purchases, car park vending machines and toll booths.
2.10 We recommend that you do not use the Card as a guarantee of payment, for example to pay a deposit for hotels, cruise lines or car rental, as merchants in these types of business may estimate the final bill and reserve this amount against the Card Fund, which will then be unavailable for you to access or spend.
2.11 Subject to clauses 2.12 and 2.13 below, the applicable Currency Pocket will be debited with the amount of the Transaction and all related Fees, which will reduce the balance of the applicable Currency Pocket and therefore the total Card Fund.
2.12 Currency match and sufficient funds: If you have a Currency Pocket that matches the currency of the country in which the Transaction is charged, that Currency Pocket will be debited with the full Transaction value plus any related Fees.
2.13 Currency match and insufficient funds: If there are insufficient funds in the matching Currency Pocket to cover the full amount of the Transaction plus any related Fees, the matching Currency Pocket will be debited with the amount that is available in the matching Currency Pocket, and then we will debit the next Currency Pocket, in the Order of Priority, that has sufficient funds to cover the full amount of the remaining balance of the Transaction and the related Fees and the Cross-currency Conversion Fee.
2.14 If there are insufficient funds in any one of the remaining Currency Pockets in the Order of Priority to cover the remaining balance of the Transaction and the related Fees and the Cross-currency Conversion Fee, we will decline the Transaction.
2.15 If the Card Fund drops below 0 (zero), you must not incur any subsequent Charges.
2.16 If a Shortfall does arise following any Charges authorised by you, the resulting debit balance will immediately become a debt that is payable by you to us on demand.
2.17 When we convert the Shortfall into ZAR, we will use the Nedbank Retail Rate on the day on which we process the Transaction.
2.18 We are entitled to set off any Shortfall against any positive balance on any other account you hold with us.
2.19 If, notwithstanding any such setoff, an amount is still owing, this amount will remain a debt you must pay to us and you must repay this debt to us on demand.
2.20 We reserve the right to charge interest on the Shortfall at the interest rate ordinarily charged by us on similar debts.
2.21 If you are entitled to a refund for goods or services purchased using the Card, where the Transaction was made in one of Currencies loaded onto the Card, the refund will be made to the Card in that Currency. Where the Transaction was converted by Mastercard and presented to Nedbank for authorisation in USD, the refund will be made in USD.
2.22 You acknowledge that we may be unable to provide you with our services if power outages occur affecting our facilities, electronic terminals, service providers or supporting networks.
2.23 You further acknowledge that if there is a system failure affecting ATMs or merchant facilities, there may be a risk that you may not be able to access your funds held on the Card.
2.24 Except as otherwise set out in these terms and conditions or if we have acted with gross negligence or fraudulent intent, any liability we have to you is equal to the balance or the value on the Card at any given time.
2.25 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including any Exchange Control Regulations) in respect of the Card in the country of purchase and/or use.
2.26 You may use the Card only as stipulated in the Agreement. If you don’t, we may suspend the Card, terminate the Agreement and exercise any other remedies available to us.
2.27 We may suspend the Card, with or without notice, if we think the Card has been or is likely to be misused or if we suspect any illegal use.
3. Exchange control limits
3.1 You acknowledge and understand that South Africa limits the amount of foreign exchange that you may take out of South Africa when leaving on holiday or on business.
3.2 These limits are determined by the South African Reserve Bank and are contained in the Exchange Control Regulations.
3.3 You must familiarise Yourself with these limits, details of which are available on the South African Reserve Bank’s website: resbank.co.za.
4. Charges made in a currency other than the card currency
4.1 If you do not have a Currency Pocket that matches the currency of the Transaction, the full Transaction value plus any related Fees will be converted by Mastercard and presented to Nedbank for authorisation in USD. This conversion will attract a Cross-currency Conversion Fee.
4.2 If you have a USD Currency Pocket, Nedbank will use the funds in the USD Currency Pocket to settle the Transaction value plus the related Fees, plus a Cross-currency Conversion Fee.
4.3 If there are insufficient funds in this USD Currency Pocket to cover the full Transaction value plus the related Fees, plus the Cross- currency Conversion Fee, we will use whatever funds are available the USD Currency Pocket, and then we will debit the next Currency Pocket, in the Order of Priority, that has sufficient funds to cover the full remaining balance of the Transaction, plus a further Cross-currency Conversion Fee.
4.4 If there are insufficient funds in any of the remaining Currency Pockets in the Order of Priority to cover the full remaining balance of the Transaction, plus the related Fees, plus a further Cross-currency Conversion Fee, we will decline the Transaction.
4.5 If there is no USD Currency Pocket, we will debit that Currency Pocket, in the Order of Priority, that has sufficient funds to cover the full value of the Transaction, plus the related Fees, plus a further Cross-currency Conversion Fee.
4.6 If there are insufficient funds in any one of the Currency Pockets in the Order of Priority to cover the full value of the Transaction, including any related Fees, the initial Cross-currency Conversion Fee, plus a further Cross Currency Conversion Fee, we will decline the Transaction.
4.7 The currency conversion will take place on the date we process the Charge, which may not be the same date on which the Transaction was made, as it depends on when the Charge is submitted to us for processing.
4.8 If Charges are converted by third parties before they are submitted to us, any conversions made by those third parties will be at their rates and may include a commission selected by them.
4.9 When we process a Charge, we will use the Nedbank Retail Rate on the day on which the Charge is processed and add the Cross- currency Conversion Fee.
4.10 If a Charge made in foreign currency is refunded, the amount will generally differ from the amount of the original Charge because:
4.10.1 in most cases the rate applied to any refund is different from the rate applied to the original Charge; and
4.10.2 any Cross-currency Conversion Fee paid on a Charge is not refunded. However, we do not charge additional currency conversion commission on the refunded amount.
5. Emergency funds access
5.1 You may have access to emergency funds should both Cards become lost or stolen during your trip.
5.2 As soon as you become aware that both Cards are either lost or stolen, you must contact the NCC to request emergency access to the funds on the Card. The NCC will verify your identity and arrangements will be made for you to collect cash funds at a specified Mastercard outlet.
5.3 The specified Mastercard outlet will give you cash in the official currency of the country that you are in.
5.4 This service to gain access to emergency funds will attract an emergency Fee and possibly a Cross-currency Conversion Fee if there is a currency conversion.
5.5 The cash that can be withdrawn will be limited to the available balance of the Card Fund, less any Fees as described above and any Fees charged by the specified Mastercard outlet.
6. Redeeming unspent funds
6.1 In accordance with the Exchange Control Regulations, you must redeem any unspent Currencies through any Nedbank branch where foreign exchange services are offered within 30 (thirty) days after your return to South Africa. However, if you are a business traveller and your next business trip will start within 90 (ninety) days after you returned from your previous business trip, you may retain any unspent Card Fund for use on the subsequent business trip.
6.2 Unspent Currencies may be redeemed in the following ways only:
6.2.1 If you have agreed to the indemnity by signing the Application Form or Receipt, you may instruct us to redeem unspent funds by sending an email to RetailFX@Nedbank.co.za, providing:

6.2.2 If you have created a profile on the Nedbank Money app, you will be able to redeem unspent Currencies into any other Nedbank transactional or savings account linked to your profile.
6.3 We will not permit redemption into an account held at another bank or a Nedbank transactional or savings account that is not in your name, except if the unspent Currencies are redeemed from a Card issued to a Minor, in which case the unspent Currencies will be redeemed into a Nedbank transactional or savings account in the name of the Minor’s parent or guardian.
6.4 We will redeem the unspent Card Fund in ZAR and the exchange rate will be at the Nedbank Retail Rate.
6.5 If you do not redeem any unspent Currencies when the Card expires, the Currencies will be converted to ZAR at the Nedbank Retail Rate and you can claim this balance from us in ZAR.
