Last updated: 14 December 2023

Airwallex Borderless Card Cardholder Terms 

In these Airwallex Borderless Card cardholder terms (“Cardholder Terms”), the words “you”, “your”, “Cardholder” and “yours” refer to the person or entity that has agreed to these Cardholder Terms and whose name is on the Account or to whom a Card on the Account has been issued other than an Authorized Cardholder. “Our”, “us” and “we” or “Peoples” mean Peoples Trust Company.

The Airwallex Borderless Card is issued by Peoples Trust Company under license by Visa International Incorporated and is managed by Airwallex Payments Canada Ltd. ("Airwallex") on our behalf, either directly or indirectly through the platform that Airwallex has authorized to offer you access to card services (the “Platform Provider”; Airwallex acting in such management capacity, “Program Manager”).

These Cardholder Terms set out the terms and conditions under which you may use your Airwallex Borderless Card (“Airwallex Borderless Card”) and it applies if we send you any renewal or replacement Airwallex Borderless Card. By signing these Cardholder Terms or by using the Airwallex Borderless Card, you agree to the terms and conditions of these Cardholder Terms. Your obligations under these Cardholder Terms are supplemental to the terms and conditions at, or referenced at, http://www.airwallex.com/ca/terms, and any other terms and conditions between you and Airwallex, its affiliates, and/or their respective partners, including without limitation pricing terms set forth therein (collectively, the “Airwallex Terms”) governing the opening and managing of your global account with Airwallex (the “Account”). Airwallex is the Program Manager for this Airwallex Borderless Card      program and will perform certain services on behalf of Peoples. These Cardholder Terms together with the Airwallex Terms govern the use of the Airwallex Borderless Cards by Cardholder and Cardholder’s Authorized Cardholders. For the avoidance of doubt, Peoples is not a party to the Airwallex Terms, and any issues that may arise in connection therewith are between you and Airwallex. 

An “Authorized Cardholder” is a person or entity to whom we have issued an Airwallex Borderless Card on your Account at your request. The terms under which we will issue an Airwallex Borderless Card to an Authorized Cardholder are set in the “Authorized Cardholders” section of these Cardholder Terms. While your Authorized Cardholders will have the same ability to charge transactions to your Account as you do, they are not authorized to give instructions in respect of the Account and you will be responsible for all amounts owing on the Account, including those incurred by Authorized Cardholders. You are also responsible for ensuring that all of your Authorized Cardholders comply with the applicable terms and conditions of these Cardholder Terms.

Applicable Laws” means, in any jurisdiction in which the Cards are to be used,  (a) any domestic or foreign statute, law (including common and civil law), treaty, code, ordinance, rule, regulation, restriction of by-law (zoning or otherwise); (b) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decision, ruling, decree or award; (c) any regulatory policy, practice, request, guideline or directive; or (d) any franchise, licence, qualification, authorization, consent, exemption, waiver, right, permit or other approval of any governmental authority, binding on or affecting the person referred to in the context in which the term is used or binding on or affecting the property of that person, in each case whether or not having the force of law.

Authorized User” means a person or entity granted authority (whether actual, implied, apparent or otherwise) by Customer to use a Card, access an Airwallex Wallet or engage in Airwallex Wallet activity (including without limitation cancelling existing Cards and requesting Cards for Authorized Cardholders), for which Cardholder (and not such Authorized User) is liable to Peoples.

     

Card” or “Airwallex Borderless Card” means a card, or other device or number, that is issued by Peoples as a product of Peoples in connection with any Card Program implemented pursuant to this Agreement and under authority from a Payment Network (including a Virtual Card or Physical Card).

Agreeing to these Cardholder Terms is your promise to pay amounts owing on your Account. You should read it carefully as it explains your rights and obligations. The signing, activation or use of a Airwallex Borderless Card or your Account number by you or an Authorized Cardholder means that you have received and read these Cardholder Terms and agree to and accept all of its terms.

Fees

There are no fees imposed by us applicable to the use of your Account but there may be fees imposed under separate agreements between you and Program Manager or the Platform Provider, as applicable, in each case in respect of the provision to you of card services.

Fees may be added or changed from time to time. If they do, we will tell you in advance at least 30 days before the effective date of the new or increased fee by email to the email address you have provided. If we use a collection agency or a law firm to collect or attempt to collect amounts owed by you to us, you must pay all of our expenses, including legal fees.

Using Your Airwallex Borderless Card

You can use your Airwallex Borderless Card and your Account number for any permitted purpose including:

  • paying for goods or services (whether in person, by phone, on the Internet or other electronic method) where a Visa card is accepted; or

    • such other purposes we may authorize from time to time.

Cards are linked to Cardholder’s Account and can access the Account’s balance. Cardholder acknowledges that each Account is provided, serviced, maintained and hosted by Airwallex via the Airwallex Platform and not by Peoples or on Peoples’ servers. Peoples will not set up a separate account in connection with Cards. Cardholder should ensure that there is a sufficient balance in the Account      to cover the full amount of each Card transaction. Cards should not be considered or relied upon as charge cards or revolving credit cards; Cardholder acknowledges that the amount of each transaction is immediately deducted from the corresponding Account     ’s balance, and cannot be paid over time. Cards are not for resale. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cards remain the property of Peoples and must be surrendered to Peoples upon demand. Cards are non-transferable and may be canceled or revoked at any time without prior notice (subject to Applicable Laws).

An Airwallex Borderless Card issued on your Account may only be used by you or the Authorized Cardholder. You may not use your Airwallex Borderless Card for any illegal, improper or unlawful purpose. We and the Program Manager reserve the right to prevent your Airwallex Borderless Card or your Account from being used for certain types of transactions as determined by us or Program Manager, including transactions connected to Internet gambling and the Airwallex Terms. When you or your Authorized Cardholder(s) use an Airwallex Borderless Card or your Account number for a transaction, we are deducting the amount of such purchase from your Account, as the case may be. You are liable for and must pay all amounts owing on your Account. The total you owe includes all purchases and fees (our fees or Program Manager fees) and such amounts will be displayed on your statement.

You agree that all transactions, including all purchases made using the Airwallex Borderless Card, will be for your business purposes only and that you are not a sole proprietor in the province of Quebec or engaged in the business of farming, fishing or feed ranch lot operation. Any violation of this provision does not relieve you of your obligations to repay us for all such amounts along with any fees or other amounts you may owe under these Cardholder Terms.

When you use your Account number without showing your Airwallex Borderless Card, you will have the same responsibilities as if you had shown your Airwallex Borderless Card and signed a receipt or entered your PIN. You will be required to take additional steps (including a separate password and enrolling in customer security programs such as Verified by Visa) in order to purchase goods and services on the Internet from certain merchants. It is your responsibility to participate in programs established and supported by Visa, Program Manager or us as required if you want to take advantage of such Internet purchases.

Authorized Cardholders

An Authorized Cardholder is a person to whom we will issue an Airwallex Borderless Card on your Account at your or Authorized User’s request. You can add or remove Authorized Cardholders by contacting us, the Program Manager or the Platform Provider, if applicable, though we or Program Manager may limit the number of Authorized Cardholders on your Account.

Authorized Cardholders have the same ability to charge transactions to your Account through a Card as you do, however, Authorized Cardholders are not responsible to us for any amounts owing for purchases or fees on the Account, and Authorized Cardholders are not authorized to give instructions on the Account. If an Authorized Cardholder is responsible to you for any of these amounts, you will need to make your own arrangements with the Authorized Cardholder for repayment.

You are responsible for ensuring that each Authorized Cardholder receives a copy of these Cardholder Terms and Airwallex Terms and any replacements or amendments to them, as well as any notices that affect the use of an Airwallex Borderless Card or your Account. We, Program Manager or the Platform Provider, as applicable, may provide Authorized Cardholders with access to information about their transactions on your Account.

You or Program Manager may assign individual card transaction limits to each Authorized Cardholder. The card transaction limit is the maximum amount that can be charged to an Authorized Cardholder each day or month.

By signing, using or activating an Airwallex Borderless Card in their name, an Authorized Cardholder agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of these Cardholder Terms except that an Authorized Cardholder will not be responsible to us for the payment of any amounts owing in respect of purchases, or fees on the Account. Without limiting the general obligation of an Authorized Cardholder to comply with these Cardholder Terms, an Authorized Cardholder agrees, that:

  • The Authorized Cardholder will not use the Airwallex Borderless Card issued to the Authorized Cardholder if it has expired;

  • All security requirements including those designed to protect PINs or other security codes will be complied with;

  • The Airwallex Borderless Card issued to the Authorized Cardholder will not be used for any illegal, improper or unlawful purpose or anything violating the Airwallex Terms;

  • The Authorized Cardholder will report to the Program Manager or the Platform Provider, as applicable, if the Authorized Cardholder suspects that the Authorized Cardholder’s Airwallex Borderless Card has been lost or stolen, using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us” section;

  • The Authorized Cardholder agrees to permit the collection, use and disclosure of personal information as set out in the “Protecting Your Privacy” section of these Cardholder Terms.

Personal Identification Number, Security Features

Through Program Manager, we will provide you (the Authorized User) with a PIN for your Airwallex Borderless Card or advise you how to select a PIN. We will also tell you how to change your PIN. Protecting the security of your Airwallex Borderless Card is important. You agree to keep your PIN confidential and separate from your Airwallex Borderless Card at all times. You should select a PIN that cannot be easily guessed.

Only you are permitted to know or use your PIN or any other security codes such as passwords, access codes and account numbers that may be used or required for Internet or other transactions. You must keep such security codes confidential and separate as well.

Unauthorized Use of Airwallex Borderless Card

If someone other than the Authorized Cardholder uses your Airwallex Borderless Card and your PIN or your Account number with any other security code to make unauthorized purchases or otherwise obtain the benefits of your Airwallex Borderless Card, you will not be responsible for those charges provided that you (i) are able to establish to our or Program Manager’s (acting on our behalf) reasonable satisfaction that you have taken reasonable steps to protect your Airwallex Borderless Card against loss or theft and to safeguard your PIN and other security codes in the manner set out in these Cardholder Terms or as we or Program Manager may otherwise advise you from time to time, and (ii) cooperate fully with Program Manager’s investigation. You will, however, remain fully responsible for all such charges if you voluntarily disclose your PIN or other security code or otherwise contribute to the unauthorized use of your Airwallex Borderless Card or access to your Account, or fail to tell Program Manager or the Platform Provider, if applicable, in a reasonable time that your Airwallex Borderless Card has been lost or stolen or that someone else may know your PIN or other security code. You are not responsible for any unauthorized use of your Airwallex Borderless Card or your Account number in transactions in which neither a PIN nor a security code is used as the cardholder verification method. For the purposes of this protection, “unauthorized use” of a Airwallex Borderless Card or Account number means use by a person other than you or an Authorized Cardholder who does not have actual, implied or apparent authority for such use, and from which neither you nor an Authorized Cardholder receives any benefit.

No Cash Access

Cardholder acknowledges that Cards may not be used to obtain cash from ATMs, at the point of sale or otherwise.

Card Expiration

Your Airwallex Borderless Card expires at the end of the month displayed on the Airwallex Borderless Card or as otherwise indicated by us or Program Manager. You must not use the Airwallex Borderless Card or your Account number if your Airwallex Borderless Card has expired. If funds remain in the Account you may 1) choose to issue another Card to access or 2) use other methods (Interac e-Transfer / electronic funds transfer) to send funds out of the Account, either to a payor or to an external bank account.

Statement

We will provide you with your Account statement through Program Manager, either directly or indirectly through the Platform Provider, as applicable. However, we or Program Manager will not provide any Account statements if there has been no activity on your Account or where there are no amounts owing on your Account.

It is up to you to review your Account statement and to check all transactions and any fees, if applicable. If you think there is an error on your Account statement, you must contact Program Manager or the Platform Provider, if applicable.

If you do not contact Program Manager or the Platform Provider, if applicable, within 30 days of the last day of the relevant statement period for which you are provided an Account statement, the Account statement and our or Program Manager’s records will be considered correct and you may not later make a claim against Program Manager or us in respect of any charges on the Account.

We use digital scanning and microfilm for our record keeping. Original records of your purchases may not be available in paper form. However, digital or microfilmed records are valid to establish the accuracy of our records.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Cards may be used to make purchases in certain Supported Currencies and Payment Network Currencies.

Payment Network” means Visa Int. Inc. (and/or its affiliates) and any other similar scheme.

Payment Network Currency” means a currency supported by the Payment Network in which payments may be made using a Card that is not a Supported Currency.

​​“Primary Currency” means, with respect to a Card, the Supported Currency that Airwallex permits Cardholder to nominate from time to time or that Airwallex nominates for Cardholder.

     

Supported Currency” means, with respect to a Card, a currency that is permitted by Airwallex to hold in the corresponding Account and supported by Airwallex and its financial institution partners to settle to the Payment Network. A current list of Supported Currencies is available at https://help.airwallex.com/hc/en-gb/articles/900001755826-What-currencies-are-supported-by-the-Airwallex-Borderless-Card-.

If a transaction is in a Supported Currency, the amount of such transaction shall be deducted from the balance of the corresponding Account in such currency. If there is insufficient balance in the relevant Supported Currency and automatic FX Exchange Rate (as defined in the Airwallex Platform Agreement) conversions are enabled for a Card, Airwallex will (a) automatically convert the transaction currency to the Primary Currency at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate, which may be different than the exchange rate for the original transaction, and (b) deduct the transaction amount from the Account balance of Cardholder’s Primary Currency. If a transaction is in a Payment Network Currency, the amount of such transaction will be converted from the balance of your Account maintained in the Primary Currency using the prevailing foreign exchange rates determined by the Payment Network for such transaction. Cardholder acknowledges and agrees that Peoples has no control over the rates selected by Airwallex or the Payment Network.

Cardholder acknowledges that (a) Airwallex and the Payment Network may perform multiple currency conversions in order to settle a particular transaction, (b) foreign exchange services are provided by Airwallex via the Airwallex Platform and not by Peoples, and (c) foreign exchange services are governed by the Airwallex Platform Agreement.

If a refund is received on a Card transaction in a Supported Currency, Airwallex will credit the corresponding Account in such currency. If a refund is received in anything other than a Supported Currency, Airwallex will (a) automatically convert the transaction currency to the Primary Currency at the then-prevailing FX Exchange Rate, or other foreign exchange rate determined by the relevant payment network, which may be different than the exchange rate for the original transaction, and (b) credit the transaction amount to the Account balance of Cardholder’s Primary Currency. Refunds of transactions made with a Card will only be made to the corresponding Account. Upon receipt by Peoples of a transaction refund, Peoples will timely provide the refunded amount to Airwallex for posting to the corresponding Account, and Airwallex shall post such refunding amount (or such other amount due to foreign currency fluctuations) to the Account. Cardholder acknowledges that Peoples is not responsible for merchant delays in refunding transactions.     

Recurring Payments

You are responsible for any recurring payments you have authorized merchants to charge to your Account, even after you or we cancel these Cardholder Terms. If you wish to discontinue any such payments, you must contact the merchant in writing and then check your Account statements to ensure that the payments have, in fact, been discontinued. If they have not stopped despite your instructions to a merchant, Program Manager or the Platform Provider, if applicable, may be able to assist you if you provide Program Manager or the Platform Provider, if applicable, with a copy of the written request to the merchant, using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us” section.

Authorization and Suspension

Transactions on Cards may require authorization. Peoples may in its discretion deny authorization and/or suspend the use of one or more Cards, including, without limitation, (a) if the balance of the corresponding Account      is insufficient, (b) if a transaction exceeds the applicable limits from time to time, (c) if Peoples suspects that there is fraud or a security concern, (d) if Peoples suspects that such Cards are being used for illegal purposes; or (e) for any other reason, unless prohibited by applicable law. Before a transaction is authorized, Peoples may validate the Card user’s identity by following certain steps specified by Peoples. Cardholder acknowledges and agrees that Peoples is not liable to Cardholder, Authorized Cardholders, or any other third-party for any loss suffered as a result of an authorization not being granted. For any questions regarding authorization and suspension, please contact us using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us” section.

     

Problems with a Purchase

With your consent, we may provide your Account statement, these Cardholder Terms, and any other document relating to your Account, to you electronically, including over the Internet or to an email address you provide us for this purpose.

We may rely upon and treat as duly authorized and binding on you any electronically authenticated document that we receive from you or which appears to have been sent by you.

In order to communicate with us by electronic means, you will be instructed to comply with certain security protocols established by us from time to time. These security measures are intended to protect both of us, and you must take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to your Account statement and any other documents exchanged between us electronically.

Amendments

We may amend these Cardholder Terms at any time. If we do, we will let you know at least 30 days before the amendments come into effect. If your Card or your Account number is used for a transaction or if any amount owing remains unpaid after these Cardholder Terms is amended, it will mean you accept the amendments we have made to these Cardholder Terms. The benefits and services we provide to cardholders are subject to terms and conditions. We can amend these terms or conditions at any time. We may do so without giving you notice.

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction

These Cardholder Terms will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable laws of Canada. In the event of a dispute, you agree that the courts in the Province of British Columbia shall be competent to hear such dispute and you agree to be bound by any judgment of that court.

Limitations on Our Liability

Neither Peoples nor Airwallex will be liable to you for damages (including special, indirect or consequential damages) that may result if, for any reason, your Card or your Account number is not accepted or you are unable to access your Account.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cardholder acknowledges and agrees that it is liable for all Card and Card account activity, including, without limitation, activity conducted by Authorized Users, and Authorized Cardholders, and requests made by an Authorized User to issue a Card or to Authorized Cardholders.

Without limiting the Airwallex Terms, Cardholder is liable for all unauthorized transactions where Cardholder or the Authorized Cardholder, as applicable, contributes to the loss by, for example (a) breaching or compromising the security of a Card or PIN (if applicable), Card Details, or Account, including by breaching Card restrictions, or (b) delaying the reporting of the loss, theft or misuse of a Card or PIN (if applicable), Card Details, or Account, in which case Cardholder is liable for all losses until such time as you notify Airwallex of such loss, theft or misuse.

Peoples is not responsible for any decision by a merchant to accept or reject the use of a Card or, except to the extent required by applicable law, for any unauthorized Card transactions.

You are liable for all obligations resulting from the use of the Card and Account and all monies owing and charged to the Card or Account. You assume full and complete responsibility to Peoples for performance by you of any and all obligations under this Agreement and all actions or omissions in connection with Cards, Card accounts and these Cardholder Terms, including any failure (whether by you, Authorized Users or Authorized Cardholders) to comply with the terms of these Cardholder Terms.

You shall be obligated to reimburse all costs (including legal costs) and expenses on a full indemnity basis incurred by Peoples in connection with the collection of overdue claims or monies owing under these Cardholder Terms.

You are fully liable for damages resulting from services, information enquiries, subscriptions or various contracts carried out over the Internet, particularly if such damages are caused by lack of the necessary authority, insufficient knowledge of the system or misuse of the Card.

Purchase Disputes and Chargebacks

Peoples may charge back disputed Card transactions when, for example, the corresponding merchant has not provided Cardholder or the Authorized Cardholder, as applicable, with the goods or services paid for and attempts to obtain a refund directly from the merchant are unsuccessful.

Applicable law and the operating rules of the Payment Networks impose time limits for raising and investigating disputes. If you believe a transaction on your Card account is incorrect, you must notify the Program Manager in writing by email of your dispute within sixty (60) days of the transaction date using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us”. The Card transaction history should be reviewed carefully. Neither Peoples nor Airwallex is responsible for any loss to Cardholder, Authorized Cardholders, or any other third party if Card transactions are not timely disputed.

To avoid losing any rights to dispute a Card transaction, each Cardholder, on its, its Authorized Cardholders’ behalf, should (a) inform Peoples via the Airwallex Platform using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us” section as soon as possible after the date of the disputed transaction, and (b) provide Airwallex with any information requested to support such request.

If Airwallex is satisfied after investigation that a disputed transaction should be reversed, the amount initially debited for the transaction will be credited by Airwallex to the corresponding Account in the original currency of the transaction if such currency is a Supported Currency. If the same currency is not a Supported Currency at the time of such reversal, the amount will be credited in Canadian dollars using the then-prevailing exchange rates determined by Airwallex. If the currency of the original transaction is a Payment Network Currency, such reversed amount will be converted by the Payment Network into Canadian dollars. Changes in exchange rates may result in the amount credited due to a reversal being different than the amount of the original transaction.

Card transactions can only be investigated after they have settled. Settlement occurs when a post date is recorded in the corresponding Account.

Canceling these Cardholder Terms

We may decide to cancel these Cardholder Terms at any time without telling you in advance. If we do, you must pay all amounts owing on your Account, stop using your Airwallex Borderless Card and return your Airwallex Borderless Card to us. You may also cancel these Cardholder Terms by telling us. We may require that any cancellation be done in writing using the contact information provided below in the “How to Contact Us” section or by terminating through the webapp. Until you pay us the total amount you owe on your Account, these Cardholder Terms will remain in effect.
