iPaymix accounts may be used for different reasons. We understand that the account may be used to transfer money between friends and family members or sell online goods and receive the proceeds of such sales.
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), or any other codes that You use to access your account and iPaymix's services.

Identity Verification
On Registration, depending on Your choice of account, You will be asked for your identity and other personal details. iPaymix has established special verification systems involving your bank account or payment card to prove your identity. To safeguard the integrity of our payment system, your Personal account will also be subject to periodic transaction limits depending on your user status.
Depending on your user status, You may also find that you are asked to confirm your identity and provide additional personal details and supporting documentation. Furthermore you are also obliged to provide your tax identification number as well as proof of that tax identification number, by means of an official document. While our identity verification procedures are designed to minimise any inconvenience for you, the verification process may take several days to complete depending on the timely receipt of the original documentation requested by us.
Why do we need to carry identity verification?
We are required by the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Act ("PMLFTA") to verify Your identity and address. This helps to protect Our customers and members of the public against fraud, combat Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism and prevent misuse of Our systems.
The PMLFTA requires that We:
1. Verify your identity and address;
2. Keep full records of all transactions together with identification provided;
3. Monitor any unusual or suspicious transactions of any size;
4. Report to the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) any suspicious transaction.
If We are unable to verify identity through an electronic search, or would require further documentation according to individual circumstances, We will contact You and ask You to provide such documents and You agree to provide such documents.
Politically Exposed Persons ("PEP")
At Registration, You warrant that You are not a PEP or an immediate family member or a close associate of a PEP and You shall immediately inform Us as soon as You become a PEP or an immediate family member or a close associate of a PEP. This declaration is applicable to both local and foreign PEPs. Failure to disclose such information may lead to the closure of the account.
Additional Information
We also have an obligation to maintain up to date identification for all Our customers. This means that We may require additional information from time to time, even for customers who currently receive or have previously received services from Us and You will, upon request, provide such additional information.

2. Transactions are regarded as authorised by You where You confirm the execution of a Transaction on Your Account. Our online portal will provide you with a second Authentication level at login stage and when executing payments. You need to follow the instructions provided to You with such additional security measures.
3. Where We reasonably believe that an Instruction purporting to come from You has not been properly authorised by You or that any other breach of security has occurred in relation to Your Use of the Services, we reserve the right not to act, or to delay acting upon the Instruction and, in that event, We will inform You as soon as reasonably practicable. iPaymix will not have any liability to You if You suffer loss because of Our decision not to act or to delay in acting on an Instruction in these circumstances.

1 Depending on Your verification status, the following loading channels are available for payment to Your Personal Account:
a. Bank transfers from other bank accounts held with other credit institutions in Your or third party name depending on Your level of due diligence, for which You must provide Your credit institution with iPaymix BIC & IBAN and Your Personal account number as reference;
b. Credit/Debit cards issued in Your name by other credit institutions/issuers;
c. Transfers from other iPaymix E-wallet accounts; and
d. Other payment methods available in Your country of residence.
2. Where the Loading channels are payment services provided by third party financial institutions, we do not guarantee the use of any particular loading channel made available, and may make changes to or discontinue the acceptance of any particular loading channel at any time by giving you notice in accordance with Clause 13.
3. If You choose a loading channel that may be subject to chargeback rights such as (but not limited to) credit or debit card or direct debit, You declare that You will not exercise such chargeback right other than for a breach by Us of this Agreement which would result in You having a right to a refund of the loaded / reloaded amount. Otherwise, You may not charge back any loading transaction or allow a chargeback of any such transaction for reasons for which We are not responsible including (but not limited to) disputes with merchants for non-delivery of goods or services or insufficient balance on Your account. We reserve the right to charge You fees and expenses We incur in connection with such chargeback and any action undertaken to challenge the same. We may also charge You a chargeback fee per chargeback as referred to on Our Website, where applicable.
4. If a chargeback or reversal of a loading Transaction results in a negative balance on Your Account, You will be required to repay such negative balance by reloading sufficient funds into Your Personal Account. Failure to do so is a breach of this Agreement. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice. During such period when the Account is in negative balance and until You make the required repayment to Your Account We reserve the right to block Your Account and require repayment from You . To the extent that You do not reimburse Us within 2 Working Days following notification by Us, We reserve the right to charge you a Negative fee. We also reserve the right, at any time, to send You reminders or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to mandating a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge You the expenses iPaymix reasonably incurs in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.
5. You must not load Your Account through a credit/debit card issued by other credit institutions/issuers, if You are not the named holder of that card. We take any violation of this requirement very seriously and will treat any attempt to use a payment instrument of which You are not the named holder as a fraudulent act.
6. You should be aware that loadings may be subject to loading limits due to security and legal requirements. These limits are set dynamically depending on Your verification status and the respective products You have applied for.
7. Payments received through Bank transfers will be credited to Your Personal Account on the following Working Day after funds are received by iPaymix.
8. Loading through Credit/Debit cards issued in Your name by other credit institutions/issuers will be credited to Your Personal Account once the transaction is authorised by Your credit institution/issuer.
9. Transfers from other iPaymix and Paymix Pro E-wallet accounts will be credited to Your Personal Account on the same Working Day.
10. If a payment is (i) fraudulently or mistakenly paid into Your Personal Account or (ii) refused by any competent authorities or if We are obliged to return a payment to the payer for any reason after it has been credited to Your Personal Account, You agree that the amount of the payment may subsequently be deducted by Us. This may occur even if (i) the funds are included in Your Personal Account balance,(ii) You have used the funds to make a payment or (iii) You have transferred or withdrawn all or part of them. If the deduction of the payment from Your Personal Account would make Your Account go overdrawn, You acknowledge that the amount by which Your Account is in debit, shall constitute a debt owing by You to Us. Following notification by Us to You that You have a debit balance on Your Personal Account, You shall promptly reimburse such sum to Us and in any event within 2 Working Days of notification by Us. To the extent that You do not reimburse Us within 2 Working Days following notification by Us, We reserve the right to charge you a Negative fee. We also reserve the right, at any time, to send You reminders or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to mandating a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge You the expenses iPaymix reasonably incur in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.
11. You should be aware that payment paid into Your Personal Account can be reversed. We reserve the right to reverse a payment in cases where the Payer or the Payer's bank has charged back or otherwise reversed (or is reasonable likely to charge back or otherwise reverse) a loaded or other payment which was used to fund the payment to You.
