4. Using the Service

4.1. You don’t need to create a TransferGo profile to visit or use most areas of our website or App. However, to use the Service and access restricted areas of our website and or App, you will need to register and set up a profile with us ( your ‘Profile’). If during registration you provided a name and surname that do not match your identification documents submitted to us, you agree that we will autocorrect your details according to your identification documents.

4.2. Your use of the Service requires a Profile. You are solely responsible for your Profile and the maintenance, confidentiality, and security of your Profile, including all passwords and passcodes related to it, as well as any —whether initiated by you or by others who gain access to your Profile with or without your permission.

4.3. You must: (i) change your password and/or passcode regularly and ensure that they are not used across other online accounts; (ii) contact us if anyone asks for your TransferGo password and/or passcode; (iii) always follow recommended password and/or passcode management practices; (iv) set up two-factor authentication where prompted; (v) keep your email account secure. You may reset your Profile password and/or passcode using your email address. Let us know immediately if your email address becomes compromised.

4.4. You must not i) disclose your TransferGo Profile password, passcode, or customer reference number. Keep them safe; ii) allow anyone to access your TransferGo Profile or watch you access it; iii) use any functionality that allows your login details, passwords, or passcode to be stored by the computer or browser you are using, or otherwise cached; iv) do anything that may compromise the two-factor authentication process.

4.5. You must ensure that you only enter your TransferGo username, password, and/or passcode on our official App (downloaded from the iOS App Store, Android Google Play, or Huawei AppGallery store) or, if via a browser, at https://www.transfergo.com/. Be aware that fraudsters may send emails and SMS messages containing links to fake login portals designed to phish your login information and two-factor authentication details. Additionally, criminals may place malicious advertisements on search engines that lead to fake websites impersonating trusted businesses, including TransferGo.

4.6 Additional Security Measures

4.6.1. Always verify the URL of the website before entering your login credentials. The secured TransferGo website always begins with “https://” and displays a padlock icon in the address bar.

4.6.2. Be cautious of any unsolicited communications asking for your TransferGo Profile details or directing you to log in. TransferGo will never ask you to disclose your full password, passcode or two-factor authentication code.

4.6.3. Regularly check your TransferGo Profile and TransferGo Multi-currency Account activity and transaction history. Report any suspicious or unrecognised transactions to our Customer Support team immediately.

4.7. You agree to immediately notify TransferGo, if you suspect you have fallen victim to a scam or if there is any unauthorised use of your Profile, any service provided through your Profile, or any password and passcode related to your Profile.You also agree to provide assistance as requested to stop or remedy any breach of security related to your Profile. You can reach our support team through the “Contact Us” section of our website or App, or by emailing to hello@transfergo.com.

4.8. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete customer information as requested by us from time to time and to promptly notify us of any changes to this information to ensure that it remains accurate, current, and complete.

4.9. You don’t need a TransferGo Multi-currency Account to make money transfers with us. You can use these services when you log into your TransferGo Profile, subject to our terms.

4.10. If you use our Services solely to make money transfers or maintain a profile with TransferGo without a TransferGo Multi-currency Account, you agree to this Agreement each time you use our service in this way. When you open a TransferGo Multi-currency Account, this Agreement applies to that TransferGo Multi-currency Account while it is open.

4.11. When you make a transfer with us, it is your responsibility to make sure that all transfer details are complete, accurate, and correct (including, without limitation, the Recipient’s and their banking details). We may not always be able to let you change the details of your transfer once submitted for processing, and they will be treated as correct (even if a mistake was made). You may be entitled to a refund in certain circumstances, and you can cancel a valid transfer at any time while it is pending. If you provide incorrect information with your payment instructions, we will use reasonable efforts to recover the funds for you, but this is not guaranteed, and we may need to charge you a fee for that.

4.12. You must notify us by sending an email to hello@transfergo.com of any unauthorised or incorrectly initiated, or executed payment transactions as soon as you become aware of them, and no later than 13 months after the debit date, in order to be entitled to have the error corrected.

5. TransferGo Multi-currency Account

5.1. Your TransferGo Multi-currency Account (“TransferGo Account’’, “Account”) allows you to hold, spend, send, receive, and exchange multiple currencies. The available currencies may change from time to time at our discretion.

5.6. You may not place any charge or other form of security over your TransferGo Account.

5.7. We may provide you with account details that can be used to receive funds from third parties. These account details are not the number for a bank account held by you but rather a means to receive funds into an account held by TransferGo.

5.8. Your transaction history is displayed on your TransferGo Profile. You may view your money transfer statement and/or TransferGo Account statement by logging into your TransferGo Profile.

5.9. You can add money to your Account by:

6. Payment

6.1. Our Service allows you (the “Sender” a private individual who intends to send funds through the transfer) to send money from any of the countries in which we operate (the “Supported Countries”) to any person or business in the same or another Supported Country (the ‘Receiver’).

6.1.1. Please note that we are constantly expanding the list of Supported Countries. For the most up-to-date list, please check our calculator on the website or App.

6.1.2. TransferGo reserves the right to cease providing the Services in any of the Supported Countries at any time without prior notice.

6.2. To transfer money to a Receiver, you will need to provide payment instructions through the Service. This will include, but is not limited to, the Receiver’s full name, address, account number, Bank Identifier Code (“SWIFT” or “BIC”), “Reference” (if applicable), and the amount you wish to send (the “Transaction Amount”).

6.3. While we may offer “confirmation of payee” services for certain payments, the final decision on whether to proceed with those payments rests solely with you. These services are designed to help you make a more informed choice. However, the information provided through this service comes from the institution holding the payee’s account, not from us. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.

6.4. It is solely your responsibility to make sure all the transaction details are accurate before submission.

6.5. Providing inaccurate details can cause delays in processing your transaction or lead to it being cancelled. Once a transaction has been submitted for processing, TransferGo may, at its sole discretion, attempt to cancel a transfer at your request, but cannot guarantee success if a transfer has been duly authorised and submitted (please refer to the ‘cancellation and refund’ section).

6.6. Before you confirm a transaction, we will provide you with the foreign exchange conversion rate that will be applied, along with the fee we will charge (the ‘Transaction Fee’).

6.7. We will also provide you with the estimated amount the Receiver will obtain (the ‘Payout Amount’) after currency conversion and Transfer Fee deduction.

6.8. The actual amount that the Receiver gets may differ from the Payout Amount due to additional fees applied by banks or other service providers. Please see the section ‘Other fees, charges, and interest’.

6.9. Once you initiate a transaction, we will generate a unique transaction identification number and provide you with funding instructions, including our bank account details, or request your card details (if that is your chosen payment method), so that you can deposit the Transaction Amount and pay us the required Transaction Fee.

6.10. The funds will be paid into the Receiver’s bank account in the Supported Country stated in the online form. Once your transfer has been accepted and the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee received by TransferGo, we will credit the Transaction Amount into the Receiver’s bank account in the requested currency and within the chosen delivery time.

6.10.1. We will not contact the Receiver when the funds become available in their account.

6.10.2. We will store the provided Receiver information so you can easily make transactions to them in the future.

6.10.3. We will attempt to process transactions promptly, but they may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: our efforts to verify your identity; to validate your transaction instructions; to contact you; to comply with applicable law; variations in business hours and currency availability; additional compliance requirements or/and operating procedures and business guidelines our partners have in place.

6.10.4. Delivery times quoted on our website and in these Terms and Conditions are representative of the ‘normal’ / average service and are not a guarantee of an individual Service or transaction time.

6.10.5. ‘Business Day’, for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in the United Kingdom, or in the Sender’s/Receiver’s jurisdiction when banks are open for business.

6.10.6. Banks have specified cut-off times for the receipt and dispatch of electronic payments. You acknowledge and agree that TransferGo cannot be held liable for any delay in onward payment attributable to the late arrival of funds or instruction of payment related to these cut-off times of the designated bank.

6.10.7. If you notice that funds that do not belong to you have been credited to your Account, you must inform us immediately. If any amount is incorrectly credited to your Account, we may debit it without your separate consent. If you no longer have the funds in your Account to cover such a debit, you must repay us within three Business Days of receiving our request. If you fail to cooperate and refund the funds, TransferGo will take legal and enforcement action.

6.10.8. We keep your money safe. We partner with financial institutions that hold the funds of customers separately from our own funds in accordance with applicable regulations. This is known as safeguarding. As your funds are safeguarded, on the insolvency of an institution, claims of e-money holders or payment service users are paid from the asset pool formed from these funds in priority to all other creditors (excluding the costs involved in distributing the asset pool), you (and all our other customers) would be paid out from any accounts safeguarded by our financial institution partner before anyone else. This process would be handled by an insolvency practitioner, not by us. Because we are a digital payment service, not a bank, your money is not protected by the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which protects up to £85,000 of your money). Instead, we use a safeguarding approach by separating your money from our own funds. For further information on how we look after your money, please visit our Help Centre

7. Your payment details

7.1. We will ask you to provide details of the Payment Instrument you wish to use, such as your credit card, debit card, or bank account (your “Payment Instrument”) so that we can collect payment from you when you initiate a transaction.

7.2. You authorise us to debit your chosen Payment Instrument with the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of this Payment Instrument (s) and that the details you supply are accurate.

7.3. If your payment fails or is insufficient, you authorise us to re-try one or more times to debit your selected Payment Instrument.

7.4. Both you and the Receiver will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit an instruction or receive a transaction on behalf of a third person.

7.5. TransferGo will take no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur for using a particular Payment Instrument. These may include, but are not limited to, unauthorised overdraft fees resulting from insufficient funds in your bank account or ‘cash advance’ fees and additional interest imposed by credit card providers should they treat the use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.

8. Exchange rates

8.1. We will let you know the applicable exchange rate: (i) when you place your payment order if it is a guaranteed rate payment order; or (ii) when we have received your payment, if it is a non-guaranteed rate payment order.

8.2. “Exchange rate” in the Terms and Conditions refers to the exchange rate at the relevant time for the relevant currency pair that is offered by us, which is typically provided by a reference rate provider. We may change our reference rate provider from time to time without providing you notice.

8.3. We will notify you of the guaranteed rate and the guaranteed time period when you create your transfer. Guaranteed periods are subject to the following conditions:

8.3.1. The period may be extended if your transfer is created over the weekend or public holiday.

8.3.2. We must receive sufficient funds from you during the guaranteed period in order to convert your money at the guaranteed rate. You will see when we have received your money by logging into your TransferGo Profile.

8.3.3. If we receive your funds after the guaranteed period, we will not be able to convert your money using the guaranteed rate, and your transfer will become a non-guaranteed rate transfer. Accordingly, we may convert your money at the applicable exchange rate or email you to ask whether you want to proceed with your transfer at the new exchange rate.

8.3.4. If the relevant exchange rate (as provided by our reference exchange rate provider) changes by 5% or more during the guaranteed period, we can, at our own discretion, suspend your transfer for a reasonable period of time or cancel it and refund you.

8.3.5. We may change these guaranteed rate conditions or suspend the guaranteed rate feature at any time.

8.4. The total amount (the Transaction Amount, Transaction Fee, and other applicable fees and charges) to be paid and the relevant exchange rate will be displayed clearly on the website before you are asked to confirm your transaction. Proceeding with the transaction from this point is entirely optional.

8.5. This exchange rate will apply even when there is a delay in processing your transaction.

8.6. We are not a currency-trading platform. Therefore, you should not use our Services for any kind of trading. If we determine that you are using our Services for this purpose, you will have broken these Terms and Conditions, and we reserve the right to (i) cancel the transaction and refund your payment; (ii) suspend or close your TransferGo Profile and/or TransferGo Account and seek disgorgement of your gains.

9. Other fees, charges, and interest

9.1. If your transaction results in TransferGo becoming liable for fees or charges, such as chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse us. For the avoidance of doubt, we also reserve the right to deduct such fees from your TransferGo Profile and/or TransferGo Account.

9.2. If you selected a pay-in method that gives you chargeback rights (for example, you may ask your card provider to reverse a transaction on your credit card), you promise that you will only exercise this chargeback right if:  we have breached these Terms and Conditions; or i(ii) there was unauthorised use of your Payment Instrument.

9.3. You promise that you will not exercise your chargeback right in instances where we are not responsible, including a dispute with your Receiver, or if there are insufficient funds in your Payment Instrument. If we need to investigate or take any actions in connection with a chargeback raised by you, we may charge you for the costs involved and deduct this amount from your TransferGo Profile and/or TransferGo Account.

9.4. In order for us to collect payment from you, you authorise us, in accordance with any requirements under applicable law, to access, charge, or debit funds from, any of your Payment Instruments.

9.4.1. For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your transaction, we may try to debit your bank account, in accordance with applicable laws and rules, or charge your credit card at a later time.

9.4.2. TransferGo is not responsible for any charges applied by the Receiver’s bank resulting from the receipt of funds.

9.5. You should contact the Receiver’s bank directly for details about any charges that may be applicable to the transaction.

9.6. TransferGo will take no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur by the use of a particular Payment Instrument to fund a transaction. These may include, but are not limited to, unauthorised overdraft fees resulting from insufficient funds in your bank account; or ‘cash advance’ fees and additional interest imposed by credit card providers should they treat the use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.

9.7. You will not be entitled to any interest for the period during which the funds to be remitted are with the bank, pending remittance, in the course of remittance, or for any other period. TransferGo may, at any time and at our sole discretion, limit the transfer amount to, either on a per-transaction basis or on an aggregated basis.

9.8. On certain occasions, intermediary bank fees may be applicable. In such cases, TransferGo may refuse to cover the fees. TransferGo is not liable for covering fees imposed by the Receiver’s bank.

9.9. You must always maintain a zero or positive balance in your TransferGo Account. If your balance becomes negative, you agree to repay the negative amount immediately. We may take steps to recover this amount, including, but not limited to, using a debt collection service or taking legal action.

10. Cancellation and refund

10.1. You may cancel your money transfer before we receive your funds by following the instructions set out in our Help Centre. You cannot cancel your money transfer once your funds have been received and the transfer initiated.

10.2. If you exercise your right to cancel under this clause, we may apply a cancellation fee. If you wish to cancel a transaction and/or request a refund, you can send an email
to hello@transfergo.com. Alternatively, you can contact us via the contact information supplied at the bottom of the Terms and Conditions.

10.3. We will consider your request for a refund (submitted by email mail or by phone) if we are able to identify you as the Sender.

10.4. For us to identify you, you must contact us from your registered email address, and provide your full name, address, and phone number, together with the transaction identification number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request. We will credit back any refunds to the Payment Instrument from which the transaction was made, and in the same currency unless we cannot identify the Sender’s bank account.

10.5. If we cannot identify the Sender’s bank account, we will contact the Sender and ask them to provide the same currency bank account details in order to refund the transfer.

10.6. For successful revocations, TransferGo will normally refund your money to the Payment Instrument from which the transaction was made, and in the same currency, excluding any reasonable revocation, recall, or tracing charges and any Transaction Fees already charged. No adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations that may have occurred. We will only refund the Transaction Amount if the transaction was not paid out to the Receiver (in which case we will also cancel your pending transaction).

10.7. In circumstances where the Sender wants to recall a payment that has already been credited to the Receiver’s bank account, they may do so. However, TransferGo cannot guarantee cancellation will be successful.

10.8. In those circumstances, we would make reasonable efforts to recover the funds. We may charge you a fee reflective of our efforts. However, there is no guarantee that the cancellation will be successful.

10.9. You may recover the full amount of executed transfers initiated by or through the Receiver, if: (i) a precise amount was not specified when the transfer was authorised; and (ii) the transfer amount exceeds what could have been reasonably expected of you. We will request information regarding these conditions. You can request a refund within eight weeks of the debit date, and we repay the full amount within 10 working days. If we refuse your request, we will explain why and specify the procedure for appealing against this decision.

11. Collection of information

11.1. United Kingdom (“UK”) law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record identifying information about all their customers. We may therefore be required to request personal identifying information from you, and we may also legally consult other sources to obtain this information.

11.4. We reserve the right to request the above-mentioned documents from you, as well as other supporting information.

13.3. Due to the nature of the internet, technology and cooperation with third-party providers, the Service is provided on an ‘as available’ and ‘as is’ basis. This means that we are unable to promise that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, without delays or error-free.

13.5. We will notify you as soon as we can if we are unable to perform a transaction for any of these reasons, and will take reasonable measures to secure the return of any money.

13.6. In the event that we make a payment transfer that is not in accordance with your instructions (for example, we send the transfer to the wrong Receiver), we will refund you that payment in full.

13.7. For security reasons, we recommend that you only send money through our Service to people you know personally.

13.8.
