7.4 The Lithuanian Deposit Guarantee Scheme (‘DGS’) does not apply to the funds in your Wallet or collected through a Global Account. You acknowledge that the Wallet is an electronic money account, not a bank account, and is therefore not covered by the DGS.

7.5 As a firm regulated under the EM Law Airwallex holds funds corresponding to electronic money in your Wallet in one or more bank accounts separately from the funds of Airwallex. In the event of the insolvency of Airwallex, you will be paid from these bank accounts in priority to other creditors in accordance with Applicable Law.

(e) we exercise our rights under clause 20. If you do not have enough funds in your Wallet for us to make a deduction, you must reimburse us as soon as possible, as set out in clause 11.12. If we reverse a transaction, we will do this at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate applicable at the time of the reversal or at the original FX Exchange Rate applicable to the transaction, in our discretion.

10.7 Where the funding/original transaction was paid for by Card, reversals will be effected in accordance with the Card Supplement. For other transactions, where we make a reversal, we may choose whether to make the reversal in the currency of the original transaction or in a separate currency, for example, where the original transaction is not in a Supported Currency which can be held in your Wallet, we will generally choose to convert the amount of the reversal into your Base Currency. Where we are required to perform any currency conversions in connection with the reversal of a transaction, we will do this at the prevailing FX Exchange Rate applicable at the time of the reversal or at the original FX Exchange Rate applicable to the transaction, in our discretion.

  1. MAKING PAYOUTS AND FX CONVERSIONS

11.1 Your instructions. You may instruct us to make a FX Conversion or Payout at any time by providing the necessary details as prompted in the Airwallex Platform.

11.2 Confirmation. You must have sufficient funds in your Wallet in the relevant source currency to cover the full amount of any FX Conversion or Payout (including Service Fees) that you wish to make. We may decline your instructions if you do not have enough funds, if you exceed any applicable limits, or in accordance with clause 20. When we are satisfied with your instructions we will issue you with a Confirmation.

11.3 When you instruct us to make an FX Conversion or Payout, the amount of the FX Conversion or Payout confirmed in the Confirmation becomes due and payable to us on the date indicated in the Confirmation. On this date your funds will cease to be deemed electronic money and your balance will be deducted accordingly. You will be issued with electronic money again in respect of an FX Conversion in the purchase currency on the Settlement Date.

11.4 FX Exchange Rate. You may access the indicative FX Exchange Rate for an FX Conversion through the Airwallex Platform. The indicative FX Exchange Rate will be quoted to you when you instruct us through the Airwallex Platform and the final FX Exchange Rate will be confirmed when we issue a Confirmation. We will ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that the confirmed FX Exchange Rate reflects the rate quoted to you. The rate may be different as the rate may have changed between the time of your instruction and the time we issue the Confirmation. You agree that changes to exchange rates come into effect immediately without notice. Changes to the FX Exchange Rate depend on fluctuations in the financial markets outside our control.

11.5 FX Payouts. If you are approved to enter into FX Payouts, you agree to enter into FX Payouts only for the purpose of facilitating payment for identifiable goods or services. If we reasonably believe that you intend to enter into the FX Payout for other purposes, we:

(a) may decline to accept your instruction in respect of an FX Payout; or

(b) if we have already accepted your instruction, we may cancel the FX Payout.

11.6 Settlement requirements. The issuance of a Confirmation means that the FX Conversion or Payout has been authorised and can no longer be cancelled. We will deduct the amount of your FX Conversion or Payout from your Wallet immediately at the time we issue a Confirmation. However, if you are approved to post-fund you must:

(a) for an FX Conversion (or Payout, if the Payout is linked to a FX Conversion): deposit any amount specified in the Confirmation in cleared funds by Settlement Cut-Off; and

(b) for a Payout: ensure there are sufficient cleared funds in the Payout currency available to Airwallex by the Payout Date.

11.7 Date. We will deduct the amount of your FX Conversion or Payout from your Wallet when we issue a Confirmation or, if you are approved to post-fund the FX Conversion or Payout, at the same time that we receive the relevant funds from you. If that date is not a Business Day, or if we receive your instructions after 5pm on a Business Day, then the date may be adjusted by us to the next day that is a Business Day.

11.8 Execution time. If you are making a Payout and/or FX Conversion, we will remit the Payout and/or effect the FX Conversion as soon as possible. Generally, we will transfer funds to a payee’s payment service provider within 24 hours after we accept your instructions. The methods of crediting the funds may be provided by third parties (for example the bank where the payee has their bank account) and are not part of our Services. We do not have any control over the amount of time it may take for a payee’s bank or payment provider to credit funds to the payee, but would generally expect this to take less than 5 Business Days, unless a longer period is required by Applicable Law.

11.9 Failed FX Conversions and Payouts. We may in our sole discretion, acting reasonably, decide to cancel the FX Conversion or Payout, or delay the FX Conversion or Payout by rolling it over to the next Settlement Date or Payout Date (as applicable), due to reasons outside of our control such as:

(a) failure of conversion in the sell currency by the Customer to Airwallex on any FX Conversion; or

(b) failure of Payout in the Payout currency by the Customer to Airwallex on any Payout.

11.10 Transaction limits. We may apply limits to the amount of any one or a series of Payouts, and we will tell you if we do so. For example, we may apply limits if you ask us to or if we reasonably think it would help manage the risk of fraud in a proportionate way.

11.11 Right of rejection. We reserve the right to withhold, reject, or delay any transaction in order to comply with Applicable Law. We may not accept your instructions for a Payout or FX Conversion if:

(a) no valid exchange rates are available from our correspondent banking partners, liquidity providers, or other financial institutions;

(b) any relevant anti-money laundering or counter financing of terrorism conversion limits are exceeded; or

(c) you have not complied with your obligations under these terms including the Acceptable Use Policy.

11.12 Obligation to repay. You cannot have a negative balance in your Wallet. If any transactions or charges (including any chargeback, reversal of a transaction, or deduction of fees) take your Wallet below zero, you must immediately repay the amount owing to us, without requiring notice from us to do so. If you do not, we may suspend use of your Wallet or refuse to provide the Services to you. We may also take reasonable steps to recover any amount owing to us (such as taking legal action or using debt collection services) and charge you for the cost of these services.

11.13 We can deduct funds from your Wallet if you owe us money, including the Service Fees. You authorise us to deduct the Service Fees and any other amounts that you owe us from time to time from the funds in your Wallet. If you do not have enough funds in your Wallet to cover these amounts, we will not accept or process your instructions and may refuse to provide the Services to you. We may also, at your cost, take reasonable steps to recover the amount owing (such as taking legal action or using debt collection services).

  1. SAFETY AND SECURITY

12.1 Keep your Wallet safe. In order to use the Airwallex Platform, you (or your Authorised User) must log in using the unique password and any multiple-factor authentication: for example, we may require your Authorised User to authenticate that they are the Authorised User when logging in to the Airwallex Platform, or for certain transactions made using the Airwallex Platform. You must store all log-in information and passwords to access the Airwallex Platform safely and securely at all times and only allow Authorised Users to access the Services.

12.2 Contact us if you suspect your Wallet may be compromised. You must contact us immediately by email to [email protected] and change your password if you suspect:

(a) your Wallet, Global Account, or access to the Airwallex Platform or other security credentials are stolen, lost, used without your authorisation or otherwise compromised; or

(b) someone else finds out your log-in information and password for your Wallet. Any undue delay in notifying us may affect the security of your Wallet, Global Account, or access to the Airwallex Platform and result in you being responsible for financial losses.

12.3 Check the transactions in your Wallet regularly. All of your activity is displayed in the Airwallex Platform. You must contact us immediately by email to [email protected] to report any (i) suspected or actual unauthorised transaction, (ii) incorrectly initiated or executed transactions such as those having not been executed or having been executed late, (iii) certain charges and interest you are liable to pay as a result of such transactions, or (iv) other security concerns regarding the Airwallex Platform. We may be able to refund money you have lost if the transaction is due to our mistake, fraud, or errors with your transaction (see clauses 12.4, 12.7, 12.9 and 12.10). If you do not notify us of any unauthorised or incorrectly initiated or executed transactions or transactions which have not been executed or were executed late or of certain charges and interest you are liable to pay as a result of such transactions, without undue delay, and at the latest within 13 months (or within 3 months if you are a Corporate Customer) of the debit date of the transaction, on becoming aware of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transaction, you may lose the right to have the matter corrected or money refunded. You also may not be able to claim a refund if:

(a) you have breached these terms;

(b) you gave us incorrect instructions for the transaction (we may reasonably assist you to recover the funds, where possible, but do not guarantee that this would be successful); or

(c) you are a Corporate Customer and any losses are not the direct result of our act or omission.

12.4 Unauthorised transactions. We will refund you as soon as practicable, and, except as permitted under Article 38(1) of the Payments Law, in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day on which we become aware of the unauthorised transaction, for an unauthorised transaction and restore you to the position you would have been in had the unauthorised transaction not taken place, subject to the following:

(a) where the Services, your Wallet, Global Account, or any log-in information and passwords are used without your authorisation you will be liable for any losses arising out of that unauthorised transaction if we believe you should have been aware of the unauthorised use;

(b) if you do not promptly notify us of security issues: (i) in line with the timeframes of clause 12.3, you will be liable for any losses you incur up to the time that you notify us; and (ii) within 13 months from the date of the Payout (or within 3 months if you are a Corporate Customer), we will have no liability for the unauthorised transaction;

(c) if we find that you or your Authorised Users, or anyone else acting on your behalf, has acted fraudulently (or, if you are a Corporate Customer, recklessly) we will not refund you in any circumstances;

(d) you will be solely liable for all losses if you have (i) acted fraudulently, (ii) with intent or gross negligence compromised the security of your Wallet or the Airwallex Platform or (iii) if you are a Corporate Customer, failed to, or if you are a Consumer, with intent or gross negligence failed to, comply with your obligations to use them in accordance with these terms, and to take all reasonable steps to keep all log-in information and passwords confidential and secure;

(e) provided we are able to provide a refund in accordance with Applicable Law; and

(f) if you gave us incorrect instructions for the Payout, we may reasonably assist you to recover the funds, where possible, but do not guarantee that this would be successful.

12.5 Where we refund you for an unauthorised transaction we will credit value date your balance no later than the date on which the amount of the unauthorised payment transaction was debited.

12.6 Where we refund you for an unauthorised transaction but subsequently find that you did not comply with your obligations under this clause 12, you must reimburse us for the value of the unauthorised transaction.

12.7 Non-execution or defective execution of transactions. Unless we can prove that the payment service provider of the recipient has received the amount of your Payout on time, we will be liable to you and will – without undue delay – refund your Wallet (the credit value date being no later than the date on which the amount was debited) with the amount of the non-executed or defective Payout. Where applicable, we will then restore you to the position you would have been in had the defective Payout not taken place. Upon request, we will immediately – without charge – make efforts to trace any non-executed or defectively executed Payout and will notify you of the outcome.

12.8 Late execution of transactions. Unless we can prove that the payment service provider of the recipient has received the amount of your Payout on time we will be liable to you. Where a Payout is executed late, and this is our fault or if you ask us to, we will request the payment service provider of the recipient of your Payout to ensure that the credit value date for the recipient's account is no later than the date the amount would have been value dated if the transaction has been executed correctly.

12.9 We will refund you any charges for which you are responsible and any interest which you have had to pay as a consequence of the non-execution or defective or late execution of a Payout.

12.10 Where the payment service provider of the recipient is located outside the EEA, clauses 12.7, 12.8 and 12.9 above will not apply to you.

12.11 You acknowledge that:

(a) subject to these terms and provided you are not a Consumer, Airwallex will not be responsible for or otherwise guarantee the performance of any transaction you enter into via the Airwallex Platform;

(b) you must provide or obtain any equipment or telecommunications lines and connections that may be necessary for you to use or connect with the Airwallex Platform;

(c) certain software and equipment you use may not be capable of supporting certain features of the Airwallex Platform;

(d) it is your responsibility to configure and update your information technology, software and equipment in order to access the Services or the Airwallex Platform;

(e) you will be liable for all costs, charges, claims, damages, fees, disbursements, losses, expenses, fines, and liability incurred by Airwallex arising out of: (i) (where applicable) your incorrect instructions, overpayment, payment error, or other invalid payment you cause; (ii) any error, default, gross negligence, misconduct, or fraud by you, your employees, directors, officers, or representatives, or anyone acting on your behalf; and (iii) any costs, charges, claims, damages, fees, disbursements, losses, expenses, fines and liability incurred by Airwallex in respect of a failure by you to comply with these terms.

12.12 If you are a Consumer, clause 12.11(e) does not apply. However, you may be liable for our reasonable costs in the circumstances set out in clause 12.11(e) (i) to (iii).

  1. SERVICE FEES

13.1 You will pay us the Service Fees for the Services, which are set out in the fees table available on www.airwallex.com (which forms part of these terms) or as otherwise agreed in writing with us.

13.2 Tax. All amounts payable to us under these terms: (a) are exclusive of all taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future, all of which you will be responsible for and will pay in full; (b) will be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding unless prohibited by Applicable Law. If the Customer is obliged by Applicable Law to deduct withholding tax from any payment: (i) it will promptly notify Airwallex of the requirement; (ii) the Parties will make all necessary filings in order to ensure the provisions of any applicable tax treaty applies to the payment; (iii) the Customer will pay to Airwallex such additional amount as will result in the receipt by Airwallex of the full amount which would otherwise have been receivable had no withholding or deduction been payable; (iv) the Customer will pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld when due; and (v) the Customer will promptly forward to Airwallex an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Airwallex, evidencing payment to such authorities.

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

17.1 This clause applies to you only if you are a Corporate Customer.

(a) death or personal injury resulting from its negligence;

(b) its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

(c) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or

17.5 Save as set out in clause 17.6, Airwallex’s total aggregate liability to you for all Actions arising under these terms will not exceed the total amount of Service Fees paid by you to Airwallex during the one (1) year period prior to the date the liability first arose.

17.6 Airwallex’s maximum liability for an FX Conversion, whether arising in contract or otherwise, will in no circumstances exceed an amount equal to the currency sold by Airwallex under that FX Conversion.

17.7 Damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for breach and accordingly either Party will be entitled to seek the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach.

17.8 Each Party agrees to use reasonable endeavours to mitigate any loss in respect of which it is indemnified under these terms.

  1. INDEMNITY

18.1 This clause applies to you only if you are a Corporate Customer.

18.3 This clause 18.3 and clauses 18.4 and 18.5 apply in respect of the obligations in this clause 18, clause 14.6 and clause 23. If a Party becomes aware of any claim or proceeding which might lead to a claim under this clause 18, clause 14.6 or clause 23 (each, a ‘Third Party Claim’), the Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing and, subject to the other Party complying at all times with clause 18.4, the first Party will:

(a) allow the other Party to control the defence of such Third Party Claim; and

(b) at the request and expense of the other Party, provide reasonable assistance for the other Party to defend any such Third Party Claim.

18.4 If the other Party assumes the defence of a Third Party Claim, the other Party will:

(a) promptly notify the first Party that it has assumed such defence;

(b) at all times have regard for the interests and reputation of the first Party and comply with all applicable court rules in the defence of such Third Party Claim;

(c) consult and keep the first Party informed, in relation to any negotiations, settlement or litigation; and

(d) not, without the prior written consent of the first Party, enter into any settlement or compromise of the Third Party Claim that involves a remedy other than the payment of money.

18.5 If the other Party does not assume the defence of a Third Party Claim in accordance with clause 18.4 within 14 (fourteen) days of being notified in writing of that Third Party Claim, the first Party, or a Person designated by the first Party, may defend the Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and the other Party will indemnify the first Party in relation to all costs, claims and liabilities incurred by the first Party in relation to such Third Party Claim.

Global Privacy Centre

Welcome to the Airwallex Global Privacy Centre

Airwallex is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who engages with our platform. We also value the importance of transparency with respect to our privacy practices. 

We created this Airwallex Privacy Center to help you find answers to frequently asked questions about how we collect and use personal data, the rights that individuals have in relation to personal data held by Airwallex, and how Airwallex complies with international data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the UK and EU.

This content is not legal advice, has been published for your general information purposes only, may not be exhaustive or  current and may be amended from time to time without notice to you.

Depending on the context, “you” may mean any of the following:

  • End User: an end user (individual) who uses our Service, regardless of whether the end user uses our Services for personal use or otherwise. We also collect an End User’s personal information when provided by the Business Customer. 

  • Representative: an individual who is the owner of, or who acts on behalf of a Business Customer (e.g. employee, director or officer of Business Customer who has authority for managing the business customer’s account with us). 

  • Visitor: a visitor (individual) to our sites or who otherwise communicates with us (e.g. if you send us a query on our Support Page) without being logged into an Airwallex account.

  • Business Customer: a business entity who we provide Services to, whether directly or indirectly, or do business with and such Business Customer will provide us with an End User’s personal information in connection with the Business Customer’s and that End User’s respective activities. When you (as an End User or Representative) interact with a Business Customer, your personal information will be collected, retained, shared and/or stored by the Business Customer in accordance with their own privacy policies and not our Global Privacy Policy.

Global Privacy Policy

You can learn about how we collect, use and share information in our Global Privacy Policy.

What is the GDPR? 

The GDPR is the data protection regulation that gives individuals more control over their personal data. The European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) have separate but similar versions of the GDPR.

Under the GDPR, organisations must take great care when processing personal data. Organisations must ensure there is a legal basis for every data processing activity and they must tell people how and why data is used. Individuals also have greater rights under the GDPR, and organisations must be accountable for all processing.

In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied before EU / UK individuals’ personal data may be transferred outside the EU or the UK, unless the organisation receiving the personal data is located in a permitted jurisdiction white listed by the European Commission or UK government. The list of white listed permitted jurisdictions may be found on the European Commission’s website here or the UK government website here.  

What is personal data?

Personal data is any information that is related to an identified or identifiable natural person (e.g. you), such as your name, email address, username, ID, bank account number, card details, telephone number, personnel number, number plate, appearance, customer number or address.  The definition under the GDPR is broad, and can include information that could be used indirectly and/or with other information to identify a natural person – such as device identifiers or IP address. 

What does ‘processing’ mean in this context?

Processing means any operation that is performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. 

Who does the GDPR apply to? 

The GDPR applies to any data processor or data controller in the EU or UK that processes personal data, as well as any data processor or data controller outside the EU or UK that processes the personal data of individuals in the EU or UK residents where the processing activities are related to:

  1. offering goods or services to data subjects in the EU or UK (even if those goods or services are provided free of charge); or

  2. monitoring the behaviour of individuals taking place in the EU or the UK. 

Our Global Privacy Policy sets out who are the UK and EU Airwallex data controllers. 

Is Airwallex acting as a data controller or a data processor?

We act as a data controller in relation to your data.A “data controller” is the entity that determines the purposes and means of the data processing taking place.) 

Airwallex as a data controller processes personal data for activities including the following:

  1. providing the Airwallex products and services;

  2. developing new, or enhancing existing, products;

  3. providing customer support; 

  4. monitoring, detecting and preventing fraudulent activities on our platform; and

  5. complying with the legal and regulatory obligations that apply to Airwallex.

Our Global Privacy Policy sets out in more detail the various processing purposes.

A “data processor” is an entity that acts on behalf of and at the direction of a data controller in processing personal data. As the data processor is acting on the instructions of the data controller, it does not exercise control or decision making over the processing of personal data. A typical data processor would be a software service provider.

Data controllers and data processors have different responsibilities under the GDPR – for example, controllers are in charge of identifying a lawful purpose or legal basis, and must facilitate individual rights requests.

What ‘lawful purpose’ or ‘legal basis’ does Airwallex rely on to process personal data?

Airwallex relies upon a number of legal grounds to process personal data. 

Please refer to section 4 of our Global Privacy Policy for an overview of the types of personal data we collect from you, and the applicable ‘legal basis’ for each under GDPR or other similar laws. 

What rights do I have over my data?

You may have certain rights to your personal data. Airwallex as  a data controller of your personal data is  responsible for managing and responding to your request. You can read more about your rights and how you can exercise your rights in section 7 of our Global Privacy Policy.

Who are Airwallex’s processors and sub-processors and how are they evaluated?

In the course of operating our business and providing our services,  it may be necessary for us to provide personal data to our affiliates or certain third parties. Our affiliates or such third parties may process your personal data as an independent data controller or as a data processor, depending on the circumstances and the nature of the data transfer.  Table A describes who these third parties are and the purpose of transferring such data to them.  We do not sell or share data to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Airwallex also uses data processors to provide services to Airwallex such as technology, professional services and other services which we require to run our business . We make sure we have appropriate safeguards in place to protect any personal data that is processed, including through contractual obligations.

Before a particular data processor is engaged, Airwallex vets and evaluates that data processor through our vendor management program. As required under the GDPR, we enter into a contract with each data processor before sharing data with the data processor. All potential vendors are also vetted and approved through Airwallex’s information security review process before we use their services. This means we investigate their security standards, check their certifications, etc., before we consider sharing any data.

Our Affiliates

In addition to the above, any affiliate of our global corporate group that does not contract directly with customers may be a data processor or sub-processor of one or more of the Airwallex data controller(s) that are listed for your reference in Section 2 of our Global Privacy Policy

What is a Data Processing Agreement and do I need to have one with Airwallex?

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a contract between a data controller and a data processor, which sets out the roles and responsibilities of the parties when personal data is processed. The GDPR sets out requirements that a DPA must satisfy in order to be compliant, including guarantees around security and that the processor will only act on our instructions.  Airwallex will typically enter into a DPA when it transfers data to third parties who act as data processors to Airwallex.

If you are a customer of the Airwallex for Platforms embedded finance product, the DPA is part of the Master Services Agreement (MSA) that you will sign with Airwallex.  There is no additional DPA or data agreement that is usually required. 

International data transfers

The information presented below is for general information purposes only and is not legal advice. As rules surrounding international data transfers may vary across jurisdictions, please consult with your own legal counsel to familiarise yourselves with the requirements that govern your specific situations.

How does Airwallex deal with international data transfers?

Airwallex uses a set of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) published by the European Commission for cross-border data transfers (for the EU), and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (UK IDTA) issued by the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (for the UK) (in the form of a legal contract), to provide a legal mechanism to transfer EU or UK personal data outside of the EEA/UK/Switzerland, respectively. These are required under European and UK data protection laws and are incorporated into our agreements.

Airwallex continues to adopt appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data transferred outside the UK, EEA and Switzerland. Our measures include the SCCs and UK IDTA to accommodate international data transfers, as well as a range of technical and organisational measures (described in more detail under the relevant heading below).

Airwallex’s technical and organisational measures

We apply technical and organisational measures to protect the security of personal data. These include an information security management system aligned with ISO27001 and SOC2 Type II as described below:

  • A.5: Information security policies

Airwallex has implemented security policies and standards that are constantly reviewed in line with the overall direction of the organisation’s information security practices. Risk assessments are performed on a regular basis and agreed mitigating controls are included in the policies, standards and procedures to address security globally.
