In the event that we are unable to debit the Designated Account for amounts described above we may debit other Linked Accounts or Other Accounts to satisfy such amounts. Except where required by applicable law or the NACHA Rules, you waive your right to receive pre-notification of the amounts of the PADs or any change in the amounts of the PADs and agree that you do not require advance notice of the amounts of PADs or any change in the amounts of the PADs before the debits are processed. Such waiver of notification is not applicable to any one-time or sporadic debits for which Float is required to obtain your authorization in accordance with Rule H1 of the Canadian Payments Association.
- For transactions governed under Payments Canada regulations, this is a business PAD. You must promptly tell Float, in writing, of any change to the Designated Account. You have certain recourse rights if any PAD does not comply with this authorization. For example, you have the right to receive reimbursement for any PAD that is not authorized or is not consistent with this authorization. To obtain more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.payments.ca. You may revoke this authorization at any time, upon providing 30 days’ notice, in writing, to Float or as Float may advise from time to time. You may obtain a sample cancellation form or further information on your right to cancel a PAD agreement at your financial institution, by contacting Float or by visiting www.payments.ca. This authorization applies only to the method of payment and you agree that cancellation of this authorization does not terminate or otherwise have any effect on any contract that exists between you and Float, including this Agreement.
- For transactions governed under NACHA rules, both parties agree to be bound by NACHA Operating Rules as they pertain to these transactions. You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. You agree not to dispute these scheduled transactions with your bank provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this authorization.
- You understand that this authorization will remain in effect until it is canceled in writing, and you agree to notify Float in writing of any changes in its account information or termination of this authorization at least 30 days prior to the next billing date. You acknowledge that any changes an authorized representative makes to account information via an online customer portal will be considered written notice of change and will constitute authorization to charge the new account in place of the account previously identified.
- If the above noted payment dates fall on a weekend or holiday, you understand that the payments may be executed on the next business day. You understand that because these are electronic transactions, these funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the above noted transaction dates, and that you will have limited time to report and dispute errors. In the case the transaction is returned for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) you understand that Float may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again within 30 days, and you agree to an additional charge for each attempt returned NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized payment. You have certified that the provided business bank account is enabled for ACH transactions, and agree to reimburse Float for all penalties and fees incurred as a result of your bank rejecting ACH debits or credits as a result of the account not being properly configured for ACH transactions.

10. Fees and Payment
- Fees: Customer will pay to Float the fees disclosed to you when opening your Customer User Accounts or through our website (the “Fees”). Unless otherwise noted, all amounts owing under this Agreement are identified in Canadian dollars and all Fees relating to the SaaS Services are payable in advance. Fees will include foreign transaction and other fees.

- Invoicing: Float will prepare and send to the Customer, at the then-current contact information on file with Float, an invoice for any Fees that have become due and payable. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated in an invoice, Customer will pay all invoiced amounts on the 1st day of the month following the invoice date, but in any event within 30 calendar days of the invoice date.
- Disputed Invoices or Charges: If Customer believes Float has charged or invoiced Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Float through though the SaaS Services or by contacting the Support Services contact set out in Section 5 no later than 45 days after having been charged by Float or receiving such invoice or Periodic Statement in which the error or problem appeared in order to request an adjustment or credit.

- Late Payment: Customer may not withhold or set off any amounts due under this Agreement. Float reserves the right to suspend the Customer’s access to the Services until all due and undisputed amounts are paid in full. Any failure to pay the full amount owed to Float when required constitutes a breach of this Agreement. You are responsible for all costs and expenses that Float incurs in collecting amounts owed but not paid in a timely manner, including legal and collection fees. Currently, Float does not seek to recover more than the total amount owing, and any fees related to third-party collection efforts are paid by Float, not the Customer. However, Float reserves the right to amend this practice in the future and may, upon providing prior written notice, recover such fees from the Customer in accordance with applicable law. If a payment you make is returned to us for any reason, you must pay applicable fees, and if the reason is insufficient funds in your Designated Account, you must immediately, and in any event within three business days, deposit sufficient funds into the Designated Account to allow us to collect the overdue payment. In addition to any other rights we may have under this Agreement or at law, late payments will incur interest at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) compounded monthly (19.56% annually), or the maximum legal rate permitted by applicable law (if less), plus all collection expenses, until fully paid.

Customer will be responsible for and pay all applicable taxes, duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees or similar charges (including interest and penalties imposed thereon) on the transactions contemplated in connection with this Agreement, other than taxes based on the net income or profits of Float.
- Suspension: Any permitted suspension of the Services by Float pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will not excuse Customer from its obligation to make payments under this Agreement.

You also agree and shall ensure that each Card User agrees to the Float Prepaid Visa – Card User Terms and Conditions in a form approved by Peoples Trust and agree that you will comply with all requirements of Applicable Law when obtaining agreement to those terms and conditions from your Card Users.
The Card: The Card is a Visa card that can be used at any merchant that accepts Visa, subject to the limitations set out in this Agreement on the manner of use, including those in the Information Disclosure Summary above.
Activating the Card: The Card cannot be used for any purpose until it has been activated. Virtual Cards are activated upon issuance. To activate your physical Card, follow the instructions provided on or with the Card. Whether or not the Card has an activation sticker adhered to the Card face, you must sign the back of the Card and select a PIN.
Ownership and Use of the Cards: You represent and warrant to us and agree that: (a) you will not permit any Card User to use a Card unless: (i) the Card User is of the age of majority in the jurisdiction which they reside; and (ii) the Card User is a Canadian citizen or residing in Canada; (b) the Card User is an active and current employee, contractor or other authorized user of your business; (c) information you provide about Card Users is or will be truthful, accurate, current, and complete, and we may rely upon it; (d) you received a copy of this Agreement and agree to be bound by and to comply with its terms; (e) you provided a copy of the Float Prepaid Visa Card – Card User Terms and Conditions to all Card Users and each Card User has agreed to be bound by its terms; and (f) you accept each Card for use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or use by Card Users in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the Float Prepaid Visa Card – Card User Terms and Conditions.
We will issue physical or virtual Cards that you may provide to a Card User to use. Virtual cards must be linked to your physical card, used online or over the phone, or added to a mobile wallet for use. Card User may use the virtual Card upon receipt. Subject to the limitations in the chart entitled “Limits” in the Information Disclosure Summary above, each Card can be used to pay the full Transaction Amount from merchants who accepts Visa, including applicable taxes. Each Card is, and will remain, our property. The Card is not a credit card, charge card, or debit card; provided, however, Float may separately offer charge card services pursuant to the Float Terms. No interest, dividends or other earnings or returns will be paid on the Business Account, a Card Account, a Card, or a Balance. The Business Account, a Card Account, a Card and Balance is not a deposit account and neither you nor any Card User may write cheques on the outstanding Balance. We shall have no obligation to any Card User or to you relating to any contract or arrangement between you and a Card User. We are not parties to your agreements with any Card User or any agreements between you, or a Card User, and any third-party. We are not bound by the terms of any such agreements, nor are we obligated to act to fulfil any other person’s obligations under such agreement, even if we are made aware of the existence and terms of such agreement.
When the Card is used to make a purchase, the Transaction Amount will be deducted from the available Settlement Funds transferred as Balance on the Card or, otherwise, associated with the Card Program. Use of the virtual card shall have the same legal and binding effect on you, as if a physical Card were used in person, verified by an authorized signature or personal identification code confirming authority to charge the Card for the full Transaction Amount. You agree that, if a merchant requires that you sign a sales draft, we are not required to verify your signature on any sales draft prepared in connection with a transaction on the Card and we may authorize and process a transaction even if the signature on the sales draft is different than the signature on the Card.
Some merchants (including, but not limited to, restaurants, hotels, or car rental companies) may pre-authorize the Transaction Amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% (or more) above the purchase amount to ensure that there are sufficient funds available on the Card to cover any tips or incidental expenses. In such cases, your transaction will be declined if the Balance will not cover the Transaction Amount plus the additional pre-authorization percentage.
A pre-authorization will place a hold on an amount of your available Card funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the pre-authorization amount on hold in excess of that final payment amount will be released. The time it takes for a pre-authorization hold to be removed may vary depending on the merchant.
During the hold period, you will not have access to the pre-authorized amount.
You will be solely and completely responsible for the possession, use and control of each Card. You must disable or delete a Card immediately upon request by us. The Cards are issued to you only. If you allow another person, including a Card User or Business Administrator, to use a Card, you agree, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law that you will be liable for all transactions arising from use of a Card.
We are not liable to you or a Card User for declining authorization for any particular transaction, regardless of our reason, including but not limited to if there are insufficient Settlement Funds or Balance to pay for the transaction. If for any reason a Card transaction is processed when there are insufficient funds loaded on the Card or other Settlement Funds, you agree to make immediate payment to us to cover the Transaction Amount.
We may, in our sole discretion, cancel or suspend any features or services of the Card at any time, with or without cause, upon notice to you or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
You represent and agree that the Cards are issued to you for a business purpose only.
You agree that we may treat every instruction we receive as being initiated by or from you or persons authorized by you to provide instructions, including your Business Administrator or Card User, and as a valid and authorized instruction by you to process and pay for Card transactions from funds loaded on the Card or otherwise from the Settlement Funds unless we have been notified of a risk of fraud or unauthorized use and had opportunity to deactivate the Card.
Information About Balance: It is your responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient Balance on the Card to cover transactions plus any pre-authorized amounts. To obtain the current Balance amount, or the transaction history, visit the Website. The Balance will reflect all transactions that have been posted to our system. You are not allowed to exceed the Balance available on the Card for any transaction.
If you attempt to use the Card when there is insufficient Balance available to cover the full Transaction Amount, the transaction in most instances will be declined. However, if due to a systems malfunction or for any reason whatsoever, a transaction occurs despite insufficient Balance on the Card, creating a negative amount, you agree to reimburse us, upon request, for the amount of the Transaction Amount in excess of the Balance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any funds held in your Business Account will be separately provided to us by Float. You do not receive, and will not claim, any ownership or other proprietary interest in such funds. You will not have the ability to transfer additional funds to or withdraw funds from your Business Account.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies: We may convert any transactions made in a foreign currency to Canadian dollars using the Visa Conversion Rate in effect on the day the transaction is posted to your Card Account. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date. The Visa Conversion Rate may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was made.
However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to the Card, the Visa Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the applicable rate that we pay to Visa on the date of the refund. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Visa may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded. For these reasons, the amount that is credited to the Card for a refund of a foreign currency transaction will, in most cases, be less than the amount that was originally charged to the Card for that transaction.
Protection Against Unauthorized Use: If a Card is lost, stolen or subject to unauthorized use, you must notify us immediately and provide us with the Card number and answer an identifying question. If you lose or misdirect the Card, someone might be able to use the Balance on the Card. We will refund the Transaction Amount of all transactions for which you are covered under the Visa Zero Liability Policy. We will have a customer service representative or automated voice response service available seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day that will allow immediate cancellation of the Card upon your request.
With the Visa Zero Liability Policy, you will not be liable for any unauthorized use of the Card on any transactions processed by Visa. In any case, you must notify us at 1-844-967-2500 IMMEDIATELY of any unauthorized use. For the Visa Zero Liability Policy to apply, you must establish, to our and Float’s satisfaction that you are not in any way whatsoever, fully or partially, responsible for the disputed transaction, including, without any limitation, that you notified us immediately following any loss, theft or unauthorized use, and that the unauthorized use does not result in any way from your breach of this Agreement or of the Float Terms. Verification of a Visa Zero Liability Policy claim can take up to one hundred and twenty (120) days once all the paperwork has been received and confirmed by us, and may require a police investigation.
As a condition to any reimbursements made or to be made, if you are entitled to receive one, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you agree to cooperate and assist with any attempts by us to investigate and recover from unauthorized users and to assist in the prosecution of recovery claims.
Notification and Changes to the Agreement: You acknowledge that from time to time we may amend this Agreement. Use of a Card subsequent to such amendments shall constitute acceptance of the amended Agreement.
You are responsible for (i) informing us of any change in your mailing or email address, by contacting customer service via the Website, by emailing support@floatfinancial.com, or by calling 1-833-944-3175, and (ii) for regularly checking the Website for notifications of amendments to the Agreement. Notice will be deemed to be received by you five (5) days after mailing, the next business day after sending an electronic mail or other electronic message or posting notice of amendment on the Website. You are solely responsible for notifying Card Users of any changes to this Agreement which may affect the Card User’s rights or obligations with respect to a Card and agree that you shall make reasonable and timely efforts to do so.

The Card is provided to you by Business Cardholder as contemplated in these Terms. You may not sell, transfer or assign the Card to a third party. You are restricted to one Card. The Card is not a credit card, charge card, debit card or deposit account; provided, however, Float may separately offer charge card services pursuant to the Float Terms. Usage of the Card alone will not enhance or improve your credit rating. No interest dividends or other earnings or returns will be paid on a Card.
- Using the Card
To use a Card you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 19 years of age (if you reside in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and Yukon) or, if you reside in another province, at least 18 years of age; (b) you are a Canadian citizen or residing in Canada; (c) the information you provide to us or to Business Cardholder to provide to us, is truthful, accurate, current, and complete; (d) you are an active and current employee, contractor or other authorized user of the business; and (e) you received a copy of these Terms and agree to be bound by and to comply with them.

If Business Cardholder does not approve payment on the Card of sufficient funds to pay for the full amount of a transaction, you may request the merchant conduct a split tender transaction. A split tender transaction is where you use the Card to settle partial payment of the transaction amount and then pay the remainder of the amount with another form of payment (e.g., cash, cheque, credit or debit). If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split tender transaction prior to swiping the Card, and your transaction is not approved for any reason, including insufficient funds available, the Card may be declined. The merchant does not have to and may not agree to accept split tender transactions.
- Activating a Card
For validated Card Users, virtual Cards are activated upon issuance. Whether or not a physical Card has an activation sticker adhered to the Card face, the physical Card must be activated to use.

If these Terms or the Card are cancelled, your liability to Business Cardholder for any transaction, whether processed or settled before or after the Card is cancelled, will not be affected. Your liability to Business Cardholder for any transactions is governed by your agreements with Business Cardholder.

The Visa Conversion Rate may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was made.
However, if a foreign currency transaction is refunded to the Card, the Visa Conversion Rate used to convert your refund to Canadian dollars for the Card is the applicable rate that we pay to Visa on the date of the refund. Additionally, the rate that we pay to Visa may not be the same as the rate that existed on the date the transaction was refunded.

Verification of a Visa Zero Liability Policy claim can take up to one hundred and twenty (120) days once all the paperwork has been received and confirmed by us, and may require a police investigation.
You agree to cooperate and assist with any attempts by us or by Business Cardholder to recover any loss suffered from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution. You acknowledge that you understand that if you do not comply with these Terms, other persons may be able to obtain information about you or the Card.

You hereby give your consent to such cross-border transfers (including to the United States) of such personal information to third parties for the purpose set out above.
We will use and rely on your Card User Information to activate and administer the Card that Business Cardholder permits you to use and provide related services. We will rely on you to ensure that your Card User Information is accurate, complete and up to date. You must promptly notify us (via the Website, by emailing support@floatcard.com, or by calling 1-833-944-3175) of any changes to your Card User Information or if you discover any errors in your Card User Information. You may request access to your Card User Information we collect through Business Cardholder via the Website, by emailing support@floatcard.com, or by calling us at 1-833-944-3175. If such information is obtained from providers of identity verification data and demographic information and/or personal information agents, Business Cardholder will inform you of your right of access and rectification in relation to the file held by them and will indicate to you the manner in which and the place where you may have access to the reports or recommendations and cause them to be rectified, where necessary.
We may use your Card User Information (including your telephone and mobile phone numbers and your email addresses) to contact you, including by regular and electronic mail, telephone call (including by pre-recorded or artificial voice messages and automatic telephone dialing systems) and instant messaging, regarding the Card and related matters, regardless of whether you incur any long distance or usage charges as a result.
We may monitor and record our communications and correspondence with you (including emails, online chats and telephone calls) for quality assurance, staff training and legal compliance purposes.
Other Uses of Your Personal Information: In addition to the foregoing, if you consent to other third party collection or use of your personal information (including Card User Information) for their own purposes (not as Peoples Trust’s service provider), including to send marketing and promotional messages to you, then we will not have any control over, and will not be responsible or liable for, the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by the third party, the marketing or promotional messages that they send to you, or any other wrongful act or omission by the third party.
Your Right to Access Your Personal Information: Individuals may obtain access to the Card User Information we hold about them at any time and review its content and accuracy, and have it amended as appropriate; however, access may be restricted as permitted or required by law. To request access to such information, to ask questions about our privacy policies or to withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Card User Information and to cancel the Card and all related services, contact us via the Website, by emailing support@floatcard.com, or by calling 1-833-944-3175 or emailing support@floatcard.com. If you withdraw your consent, we will continue to collect, use, disclose and retain your Card User Information for as long as may be reasonably required to perform services relating to the cancellation of the Card, to protect against fraud and for legal compliance purposes, to perform and enforce these Terms, to protect and enforce our legal rights and for other purposes required or permitted by Applicable Law.
Safeguarding Your Personal Information: We protect personal information in our possession or control from loss, theft, alteration and misuse. The safeguards employed by us to protect your personal information depend on the sensitivity, amount, distribution, format and storage of the personal information. Although technologies can make it easier for fraud to occur, we employ around the clock monitoring systems and controls to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. We also build fraud prevention measures into our due diligence processes and regularly update our fraud detection/prevention methods. While we take precautions to protect your personal information from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse, no system or security measure is completely secure. Any transmission of your personal data is at your own risk and we expect that you will use appropriate measures to protect your personal information as well.

Collection and use of Personal Information
Float provides an online spend management platform through which our customers can load funds onto prepaid corporate cards (“Card(s)”), set rules and budgets for expenditures made using those cards, track spending by individual employees, and manage and track business spending, through which Float can calculate cashback each customer has earned through their expenditures and derive insights for our customers on employee spending patterns (collectively the “Services”). In the course of providing these Services, we receive and process personal information as described below to provide the Services to our customers. All personal information collected or derived from an employee may be shared with our customer that issued credit cards to those employees. We do not use this information for any other purpose except as set out in this privacy policy, customer’s agreement with us, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.

- Personal and Authorized User Information: Including names, titles, and email addresses of employees to whom our customers have issued credit cards. Information provided about any users who will be issued a Card, such as their name, email address, social security number (if required), forms of ID (e.g. Driver’s License or Passport) and phone number.

If you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account, you are required to notify us immediately.
- Booking a Demo: If you request a free consultation or demo, we may collect your name, job title, and business contact information (including company email and phone number), and certain information about your company. We use this information to contact you and otherwise facilitate or provide you with your consultation or demo.

See the “Your Choices About Your Personal Information” section below for more information about your choices in connection with how we use your Personal Information.
How we Share your Personal Information
We do not sell or disclose personal information to third parties without your consent, except as set forth below or as required or permitted by law.

We use service providers to provide services such as hosting the Website and our platforms, and providing payment processing, authenticating users, advertising, and marketing services. Personal information that we process on behalf of customers in the course of providing the platform services will be transferred (or otherwise made available) to third parties that provide services on our behalf. We use service providers to provide services such as issuing credit cards, loading funds and processing payments, integrating with and withdrawing funds from company bank accounts, scanning and managing receipts, hosting the Website, authenticating users, and providing advertising and marketing services.

Customers may also choose to login to Float using a third-party application (e.g. OKTA). If a customer chooses to utilize an integration to facilitate logging into the platform, Float may receive information from the other service that you have authorized to share with us. The other service may also independently collect information for which Float holds no liability or responsibility. We encourage you to read the respective Privacy Policies of these providers. Float will share personal information with such third parties as instructed by the customer.

Your personal information may also be disclosed where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspected loss or harm to persons or property.

Please note that Float is not responsible for the Privacy practices of any third-party affiliates or service providers. The information collected and stored by said parties is subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and whether they store information in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions. We strongly suggest that you review the privacy practices of said parties prior to using their services.
Other Important Information About Your Personal Information, Safeguards and Retention
We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control against theft, loss and unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. However, please note that no information security program or transfer via the internet is entirely secure and, although we employ safeguards to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website, platform, or through the Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or platform.
- Third Party Links: Our Website may contain links to other websites that Float does not own or operate. We provide links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy policies, notices and terms of use. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Your Choices About Your Personal Information
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

- Unlinking Applications: If a customer has linked a third-party service, such as an accounting software or Slack, the customer may unlink their service at any time through the settings page in the Float account. Unlinking your account will not impact data collected while the services were connected. The other service may also independently collect information for which Float holds no liability or responsibility. We strongly suggest you to read the respective privacy policies of these providers.
We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on the NAI’s website, here.
Access to Information

Additional Disclosures
Nevada Residents: Nevada law (NRS 603A.340) requires each business to establish a designated request address where Nevada consumers may submit requests directing the business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit a request relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us at legal@floatcard.com.

We may not authorize a transaction for security or other reasons, such as Account default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity, internet gambling, or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction. We will not be liable to you if we decline to authorize a transaction or if anyone refuses your Card, or Account number.
Purchases
You may use your Account to make Purchases by presenting your Card or providing your Card number and additional information (for example, in online or telephone transactions) to participating merchants and establishments that honor the Card.
We will not be liable to you (or anyone else) if any ATM, merchant or other person cannot or will not process a Purchase transaction permitted under this Agreement. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may from time to time limit the type, number and dollar amount of any transaction, even if you have sufficient available credit to complete the transaction, and may terminate or suspend your use of the Card or the Account, with or without notice to you before or at the time we take such action.
Promise to Pay
When you use your Account or let someone else use it, you promise to pay the total amount of the transactions made, plus all interest, fees and other amounts that you may owe us. We may limit or close your Account, but the terms of this Agreement will apply until you pay the Account in full.
Revocation of Contingent Agreements
Concurrent with this Agreement, you have signed both a Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement and a Security Agreement with Float Financial Solutions U.S. Inc. While both the Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement and the Security Agreement exist between you and Float (and not you and Thread), in the event that you revoke either the Pre-Authorized Debit Agreement or the Security Agreement with Float, we may opt to close your Account with us, at the direction of Float.
Card Activation
You must activate your Card prior to use. You can activate it by accessing Float. If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please deactivate the Card by notifying us at 1 (833) 944 3175, or by emailing Float at support@floatcard.com.
Expiration Date
The expiration date of each Card is identified on the back of the Card. Each Cardholder agrees to sign the back of the Card immediately upon receipt. Each Card is our property and must be surrendered to us or discarded upon demand. Each Card is non-transferable, and it may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement.
Virtual Card
You may have the option of accessing your Card Account with, in addition to your physical card, a virtual card represented by a 16-digit account number (“Virtual Card”). The Virtual Card may either be single-use (expires after a single transaction) or recurring-use (usable for multiple transactions). You may not use your Virtual Card to obtain cash anywhere.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies
If you make a purchase in a currency other than dollars, the amount of the charge to your Card Account will be converted by Mastercard International Incorporated into dollars. The conversion rate will be either a rate selected by Mastercard International Incorporated from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets, or a government-mandated rate, where applicable.
Card Not Present Transactions
If you use the 16-digit Card number without presenting the Card in person (such as for a mail order, telephone, or internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you had physically presented the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of such transactions.
Processing Errors
We will rectify any processing error that we discover. If the error results in a charge of more than the correct amount, we will credit the Card Account for the difference. If the error results in a charge of less than the correct amount, we will charge the difference to the Card Account.
Card on File
If you keep your Card on file with a merchant or payee with authorization to bill that Card for recurring payments, or to make future purchases or payments, you may need to notify each merchant of your updated Card information.
Receipts
You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.
Digital Wallets
You can add your Card to a digital wallet by following the instructions of the digital wallet provider. The digital wallet may not be accepted everywhere. We may terminate or suspend your ability to use the Card in a digital wallet at any time.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your digital wallet credentials. If you share these credentials with another person, you expressly authorize that person to access your Card Account and initiate charges.
We are not a provider of digital wallet services and are not responsible for their performance. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF A DIGITAL WALLET SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
D. AVAILABLE CREDIT ON YOUR CARD

- Account Balance: Purchases decrease your available credit. It reflects authorized but not always settled transactions.
- Deposit Account Holds: When you transact, funds are held on the Float Visa Prepaid Card by Float.
- Posting Available Credit: You can view available credit in the Platform App.

- Payment Instructions: Payments may only be made electronically using a U.S. bank account or debit card. Cash, checks, and money orders are not accepted.

The person or entity that operates the software-as-a-service solution (“Platform”) for which you have entered into an agreement, defined in clause 1.5, that requires your agreement to these Scale User Terms (“Platform Provider”) has entered into a separate agreement with us for the performance of services provided by us to allow you to connect with a Platform in accordance with these Scale User Terms (such services, “Scale Activities,” and such separate agreement between us and Platform Provider, “Platform Provider Scale Agreement”).

These Float Unified Payments Experience Terms (the “Master Terms”) govern your access to and use of Float Financial Solutions Inc.’s (“Float,” “we,” “us,” “our”) unified payments functionality made available through the Float platform (the “Unified Payments Experience”).
The Unified Payments Experience enables eligible business customers to initiate different types of payments through a single product experience, using multiple regulated payment partners and payment rails.
These Master Terms form part of a binding agreement between Float and the business entity using the Unified Payments Experience (“you,” “Customer”). The Unified Payments Experience is available solely for business purposes and not for personal, family, or household use.
By using any payment service within the Unified Payments Experience, you agree to be bound by:
- these Master Terms, and
- the applicable Service Schedule(s) set out below.
1. STRUCTURE OF THESE TERMS
The Unified Payments Experience is governed by:
- Master Terms, which apply generally across all payment services; and
- Service Schedules, which contain the full, service-specific terms applicable to each payment type.
The Unified Payments Experience includes multiple payment services, each governed by its own standalone Service Schedule, as follows:
- CAD Domestic Transfers (EFT) are governed by Schedule A – Float CAD Transfers (EFT) Terms, which apply to Canadian-dollar domestic electronic funds transfers provided by Float through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch and/or its affiliates, and other Canadian clearing and settlement intermediaries.
- USD ACH Transfers are governed by Schedule B – Commercial Deposit Account and ACH Terms (Thread Bank), which apply to U.S. dollar Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers provided through Thread Bank, with supporting program management and technology services.
- International Payments and Wires are governed by Schedule C – Float International Payments Terms (Currencycloud), which apply to cross-border and international payments provided through Currencycloud Ltd. and related correspondent banking networks.
2. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
If there is any conflict or inconsistency between:
- these Master Terms, and
- a Service Schedule,
The Service Schedule governs solely with respect to the applicable payment service.
Each Service Schedule is independent. Updates to one Service Schedule do not amend or affect:
- any other Service Schedule, or
- these Master Terms.
3. RELATIONSHIP STRUCTURE
Your contractual relationship for the Unified Payments Experience is with Float Financial Solutions inc. (Float), except where a Service Schedule expressly provides that you also maintain an account or contractual relationship with a third-party service provider.
Float provides access to the Unified Payments Experience and transmits your payment instructions to the applicable payment partners. Each payment partner operates under its own regulatory obligations, network rules, and internal compliance requirements.
Except where required by applicable law, Float does not act as a fiduciary, escrow agent, trustee, or financial advisor in connection with the Unified Payments Experience.
4. AUTHORIZATION & PAYMENT INSTRUCTION
By submitting a payment request through the Float platform, you authorize Float to:
- receive and transmit your payment instructions and related information to the applicable service providers, banks, payment networks, and intermediaries; and
- take actions reasonably necessary to process, screen, settle, return, reverse, investigate, or report transactions, as required by applicable law, payment network rules, or risk and compliance controls.
5. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all payment information you provide is accurate, complete, and valid, including recipient details, routing information, account numbers, amounts, and references.
Float is not responsible for losses, delays, rejected payments, or misdirected transactions resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you or your authorized users.
6. BEST-EFFORTS EXECUTION
All payments are processed on a best-efforts basis only. Processing times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Payments may be delayed, rejected, blocked, returned, reversed, or otherwise not completed due to legal, regulatory, operational, compliance, fraud, security, or network-related reasons, or due to actions or omissions of third-party institutions.
7. COMPLIANCE, SCREENING & MONITORING
Float performs its own know-your-business (KYB), know-your-customer (KYC), and transaction monitoring activities in accordance with applicable law.
Float’s payment partners may conduct their own independent screening and monitoring, and may delay, block, reject, freeze, return reverse, or report transactions, or request additional information, to meet their legal and regulatory obligations.
8. DATA SHARING AND CROSS-BORDER PROCESSING
To provide the Unified Payments Experience, Float may collect, use, and share business, customer, transaction, and compliance information with payment partners and service providers.
Some processing or storage of information may occur outside Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions, depending on the applicable payment rail. Float uses contractual and organizational safeguards designed to support compliance with applicable privacy laws.
9. SUSPENSION & AVAILABILITY
Float may suspend, limit, or terminate access to the Unified Payments Experience, in whole or in part, where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, sanctions requirements, payment network rules, fraud prevention controls, or risk-management obligations.
Payment partners may also take such actions independently under their own rules and obligations.

1. THE CAD TRANSFERS SERVICE
1.1 Service Description
The CAD Transfers Service enables you to initiate Canadian-dollar electronic funds transfers within Canada (including, where available, Payments Canada electronic funds transfers “EFTs”) to third-party recipients, including vendors, employees, or other counterparties, based on payment instructions you submit through Float.
1.2 Service Providers
Float provides the CAD Transfers Service through one or more third-party financial institutions and service providers, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch and/or its affiliates (“J.P. Morgan”), and other intermediaries that participate in Canadian clearing and settlement systems.
Certain components of the CAD Transfers Service, including transaction processing, screening, settlement, fraud controls, and related operational functions, are performed by J.P. Morgan and other intermediaries under their own regulatory obligations, network rules, and internal policies.
2. RELATIONSHIP STRUCTURE
2.1 Your Relationship with Float
Your contractual relationship for the CAD Transfers Service is with Float. Float is responsible for providing access to the CAD Transfers Service, receiving and transmitting your payment instructions, and providing customer support and service communications.
2.2 Other Float Accounts and Agreements
Your use of other Float products, services, or accounts, and any funds you hold with or through Float in connection with those other products or services, may be governed by separate agreements with Float and/or third-party partners (including, where applicable, agreements relating to non-CAD payment services).
These Terms apply only to the CAD Transfers Service and do not govern, amend, or replace any other Float products, services, or agreements unless expressly stated.
2.3 No Fiduciary Relationship
Except where funds are required by applicable law to be safeguarded or held in trust prior to execution, Float does not act as a fiduciary, escrow agent, trustee, or financial advisor in connection with the CAD Transfers Service.
3. PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS AND EXECUTION
3.1 Authorization
By submitting a payment request through Float, you authorize Float to transmit your payment instructions and related transaction information to J.P. Morgan, Payments Canada participants, and other intermediaries as necessary to process the transaction.
You further authorize Float and its service providers to take actions reasonably necessary to process, screen, settle, return, or investigate transactions, including actions required by payment network rules, clearing system rules, or applicable law.
3.2 Accuracy of Information
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all payment information is accurate and complete, including the recipient name, account details, transit/institution numbers (or other routing information), amounts, references, and any other information required to execute the payment.
Neither Float nor J.P. Morgan is responsible for delays, losses, rejected payments, misdirected payments, or failed transactions resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent information provided by you or your authorized users.
3.3 Best-Efforts Execution; No Guaranteed Timing
Payments are processed on a best-efforts basis and are subject to:
- applicable laws and regulations;
- clearing, settlement, and payment network rules;
- sanctions screening and financial crime controls;
- fraud and transaction monitoring;
- cut-off times, operational processes, and bank holidays; and
- actions or omissions of third-party financial institutions and intermediaries.
Execution times and availability of funds are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
3.4 Cut-Off Times, Business Days, and Holidays
Float may publish general information regarding cut-off times and estimated processing timelines through the Float platform, Help Centre, or customer communications. Any such information is indicative only and may change.
Payments submitted after applicable cut-off times, on weekends, or on bank or payment-network holidays may be processed on the next applicable business day. Business days may be determined by reference to Canadian federal banking holidays and the holiday calendars observed by J.P. Morgan, Payments Canada participants, and other intermediaries or local clearing systems.
Float is not responsible for delays caused by third-party financial institutions, payment networks, holidays, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond Float’s reasonable control.
4. Funding Model
4.1 Funding Sources
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the CAD Transfers Service is funded through:
- your Float balance (as reflected in the Float platform); and/or
- an approved payment connection (including direct connections used for top-ups), where enabled.
4.2 No Pull Authority Unless Separately Authorized
Float will not debit (“pull”) funds from your external bank account to fund CAD Transfers Service transactions unless you have expressly authorized such debits under a separate agreement or authorization (for example, a PAD authorization or other bank debit authorization, if applicable).
4.3 Recovery Rights
Where permitted by applicable law, Float may debit your Float balance or other funds held for your benefit to recover amounts owed in connection with the CAD Transfers Service, including returns, reversals, fees assessed by third parties, or other amounts arising from your payment instructions or use of the CAD Transfers Service.
5. Compliance, Screening, and Monitoring
5.1 Float KYB/KYC and Monitoring
Float conducts its own know-your-business (KYB) and know-your-customer (KYC) checks and ongoing monitoring in connection with the CAD Transfers Service, in accordance with applicable law and Float’s compliance obligations.
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information when reasonably requested.
5.2 J.P. Morgan Independent Screening and Monitoring
To provide the CAD Transfers Service, Float may share relevant customer, beneficial ownership, and transaction information with J.P. Morgan and other service providers.
J.P. Morgan and other intermediaries may conduct their own independent screening and monitoring (including sanctions, watchlist screening, and transaction monitoring) pursuant to their legal and regulatory obligations and internal compliance requirements.
J.P. Morgan does not rely on Float’s compliance checks and may independently delay, block, reject, freeze, return, reverse, or report any transaction, or impose additional information requirements, where required by applicable law, regulation, or regulatory guidance.
5.3 Prohibited and Restricted Use
You must not use the CAD Transfers Service for any activity that is prohibited or restricted under applicable law, payment network rules, sanctions requirements, or Float’s policies (as updated from time to time), including activities that pose heightened legal, regulatory, financial crime, or reputational risk.
Float maintains additional information regarding prohibited and restricted activities in its Help Centre and related policy documentation, which may be updated from time to time. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those requirements.
Float and its service providers may refuse to process, suspend, block, reverse, delay, or investigate any transaction, or suspend or terminate your access to the CAD Transfers Service, where such action is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, payment network rules, sanctions requirements, or internal risk and compliance policies.
6. Data Sharing and Privacy
6.1 Information Shared
To provide the CAD Transfers Service, Float may collect, use, and share information with J.P. Morgan and other service providers, including:
- business and account information;
- KYB/KYC information relating to your business and its representatives (including, where applicable, identifying information such as name, address, contact information, and date of birth for verification purposes);
- beneficial ownership and control person information;
- recipient/beneficiary details (including bank account and routing information);
- transaction details and payment references; and
- invoice data or supporting documentation, where requested for compliance, audit, dispute handling, or investigation purposes.
6.2 Cross-Border Processing
Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada, including in the United States or other jurisdictions. Where cross-border processing occurs, Float uses contractual and organizational safeguards designed to support compliance with applicable Canadian privacy laws.
7. Returns, Recalls, and Disputes
7.1 Best-Efforts Assistance
Once a payment has been submitted for processing, cancellation, amendment, or recovery may not be possible.
Float will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist with recalls, amendments, investigations, or inquiries, but all such assistance is provided on a best-efforts basis only and depends on third-party financial institutions, clearing systems, and counterparties. Recovery of funds is not guaranteed.
7.2 Disputes
Dispute rights and outcomes are determined by applicable clearing and payment network rules and the policies of participating financial institutions. Float is not responsible for disputes between you and a payment recipient, intermediary, or receiving institution and does not guarantee resolution in your favour.
8. Security
Float and its service providers maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, fraud, or misuse.
9. Suspension and Availability
Float may suspend, limit, or terminate access to the CAD Transfers Service, in whole or in part, without prior notice where reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation, sanctions requirements, fraud prevention controls, payment network rules, or risk-management obligations.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

All instructions relating to the Account must be submitted through the Platform and/or systems made available by the Program Manager, and any such instructions are deemed to be authorized by you. The Bank may rely on instructions transmitted by the Platform or the Program Manager on your behalf, without independently verifying the accuracy, completeness, or authorization of such instructions, except as required by applicable law.
You acknowledge and agree that the Platform and the Program Manager act as service providers to the Bank and are not banks or depository institutions. The Bank is not responsible for the availability, performance, or operation of the Platform or the Program Manager’s systems, or for any interruption, error, or delay caused by the Platform, the Program Manager, or any third-party service providers they use, except to the extent required by applicable law.

2. CONSENT TO USE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, COMMUNICATIONS AND STATEMENTS
Introduction. In order to apply for an Account, you must consent to the use of electronic signatures and electronic records for all transactions with us and for all agreements, disclosures, notices, and other Communications (as defined below) relating to those transactions. Once you have given your consent, we may deliver or make any of the documents or Communications available to you by posting them in the Platform App and sending you an email notification when they become available.
Your Legal Rights. Certain laws require us to provide specific information to you in writing, which means you have a right to receive that information on paper. We may provide such information to you electronically if we first obtain your consent to receive the information electronically. Your consent will also apply to any other person named on your Account, product, or service, subject to applicable law.
Your Consent to Electronic Signatures. By accepting this Agreement, you understand that: (i) electronically signing and submitting any document(s) to Bank legally binds you in the same manner as if you had signed in a non-electronic form, and (ii) the electronically-stored copy of your signature, any written instruction or authorization, and any other document provided to you by Bank is considered to be a true, accurate, and complete record, and legally enforceable in any proceeding to the same extent as if such documents were originally generated and maintained in printed form. By accepting this Agreement, you also acknowledge and agree that you have read, understand, and agree to all the terms of this Section, can access the Communications in electronic form, affirmatively consent to the use of electronic signatures and electronic records, and have an active email account. You agree not to contest the admissibility or enforceability of Bank’s electronically stored copy of this Agreement and any other documents.
Your Consent to Electronic Communications. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Agreement, account statements, notices, legal and rate disclosures for your Account, updates and changes to this Agreement, or other service agreements and other communications (collectively, “Communications”) from us to you regarding your Account(s) and related services with us may be provided to you electronically, and you consent and agree to receive all those Communications in electronic form. Electronic Communications may be posted in the Platform App and/or delivered to your email address. You may print or download any electronic Communication and retain it for your records. All Communications in electronic format will be considered to be “in writing,” and to have been received on the day of posting, whether or not you have received or retrieved the Communication. We reserve the right to provide Communications in paper format.
Withdrawal of Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically by contacting us. Any withdrawal of consent will not become effective until we have received your request and have had a reasonable period of time, consistent with applicable law and operational requirements, to implement it. Withdrawal of your consent will not affect the legal effectiveness, validity, or enforceability of any transaction, electronic signature, or electronic record provided or made available before the withdrawal becomes effective. If electronic delivery of Communications is required in order to provide the Platform App, the Account, or related services, then withdrawal of your consent may result in the suspension or termination of your access to the Platform App or the Account, upon any notice required by applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Bank nor Platform will be liable for any losses, costs, or damages resulting from such suspension or termination, except to the extent caused by Bank’s or Platform’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Your Review of Communications. Please review promptly all Communications we deliver or make available to you. If Communications are mailed to you, they will be delivered to you at the postal address shown in our records. If Communications are sent to you electronically, they will be delivered to you at the email address shown in our records or otherwise made available to you in the Platform App. We will retain printable versions of your Account statements for seven (7) years or longer periods as may be required by applicable law. You agree to give us and Platform prompt notice of any change of your postal or email address. If you fail to update or change an incorrect email address or other contact information, you understand and agree that any Communication shall nevertheless be deemed to have been provided to you if it was made available to you in electronic form in the Platform App or you were provided email notification of its availability.
Reporting to You (Statements); Errors and Disputes. Statements will be made available to you to view and/or print in the Platform App (if available). Account statements will be considered to be correct unless you notify us, through Platform, of any errors within sixty (60) days of becoming available. Carefully review your statement each statement cycle and notify us of any errors within sixty (60) days of your statement becoming available. Bank will not be liable to you for any error that you do not report to Bank within that period. If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on it, please contact Platform at the customer service contact information set forth in this Agreement. In making such communication, you need to tell us: (i) your name and Account number; (ii) why you believe there is an error and the dollar amount involved; and (iii) approximately when the error took place.
Hardware and Software Requirements. To access and retain electronic records of the Communications, you must use computer hardware and software that meets the following requirements: a current version of an Internet browser we support; a connection to the Internet; a current version of a program that reads and displays PDF files (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader); and a computer or mobile device with an operating system capable of supporting all of the above. To print or download electronic records of Communications, you must have a connected printer or sufficient space on a long-term storage device.
3. THE ACCOUNT, GENERALLY
Eligibility. The Account is available solely to legal entities duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Canada or the United States, including corporations, partnerships, and other eligible business organizations, that possess a valid business identification number (such as a Canadian Business Number or U.S. Employer Identification Number), where applicable, and that will use the Account exclusively for business purposes and not for personal, family, or household use.
The Account and related services are provided through U.S. banking infrastructure and payment rails. As a result, certain transactions, processing activities, recordkeeping, compliance reviews, and settlement functions may occur in the United States, even where the Account holder or Authorized Representatives are located in Canada. You acknowledge and agree that transaction processing may be subject to U.S. laws, regulations, and oversight applicable to U.S. financial institutions, in addition to any applicable Canadian legal or regulatory requirements.
You must consent to receive electronic communications and records in lieu of paper statements as a condition of accessing the Account. If you subsequently withdraw your consent and electronic delivery is required to provide the Account or related services, we reserve the right to suspend or close your Account upon any notice required by applicable law.
Authorized Representatives. “Authorized Representatives” are persons with authority to act on your behalf. You may appoint Authorized Representatives only by following the Platform’s procedures for doing so. You are responsible for keeping your Authorized Representatives current in the Platform.
Unless a restriction that we have acknowledged in writing is specifically stated in your authorizing resolution, each Authorized Representative may act alone to give instructions with respect to your Account. Bank may rely on Platform procedures and records to authenticate Authorized Representatives and to act on instructions submitted through the Platform, provided Bank acts in good faith and without actual knowledge of any limitation. The authority of each Authorized Representative remains in effect until we receive notice through Platform and have a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice.
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account. To help the government fight terrorism financing, money laundering, and other financial crimes, applicable law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information sufficient to identify each customer that opens an account. When an Account is opened by a legal entity, we are required to obtain, verify, and record information regarding the legal entity and, as applicable, its beneficial owners and individuals who exercise control over the legal entity, in accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian laws and regulations. This may include collecting beneficial owner information where applicable and, where no beneficial owner is identified, collecting a control person (such as a director, senior officer, or equivalent), as required by applicable law.
Account. The Account consists of a checking account used to hold deposits and make payments and transfers to and from the Account. You will access your Account through the Platform App.
Password Security. You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of all user IDs, passwords, PINs, and other access credentials used to access the Account. If you permit any other person(s), including any data aggregation service providers, to access or use your access credentials, you are responsible for any transactions and activities performed from your Account and for any use of your information by such person(s). Do not discuss, compare, or share information about your account number or password unless you are willing to give them full use of your money. Any loss or compromise of the foregoing information may result in unauthorized access to your Account by third parties and the loss or theft of funds. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we assume no responsibility for any loss you may sustain due to compromise of your credentials due to no fault of Bank.
Payment Instructions; Platform as Service Channel. All instructions to initiate payments, transfers, withdrawals, or other transactions with respect to the Account (collectively, “Payment Instructions”) must be submitted through the Platform using the workflows and features made available by the Platform and/or Program Manager. You authorize Bank to rely on, act upon, and treat all Payment Instructions transmitted by Platform (and, where applicable, Program Manager) on your behalf as authorized instructions from you, without independent verification, except as required by applicable law.
Platform, Program Manager, or Bank may refuse, delay, suspend, or reject any Payment Instruction where necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or regulation, payment network or clearing system rules, sanctions requirements, fraud prevention controls, security requirements, or risk management or operational requirements.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of all payment information, including payee details, amounts, and timing, submitted through the Platform. Neither Bank, Platform, nor Program Manager is responsible for losses resulting from incorrect or incomplete Payment Instructions submitted by you or on your behalf, except to the extent caused by such party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or as otherwise required by applicable law.
Fee Disclosure. Except as set forth in the Fee Schedule, you are not required to pay Bank any fees in connection with this Account. Platform may charge additional fees for services provided to you under your agreement with Platform, and any applicable fees will be disclosed to you through the Platform prior to being charged.
Location of the Account. Your Account is established in the State of Delaware.
Prohibited Use; Illegal and Restricted Transactions. You agree not to use your Account, Card, or any services provided under this Agreement for any purpose that is prohibited by applicable law, regulation, card network rules, or by the Platform’s prohibited or restricted use policies applicable to this product, as such policies may be amended from time to time (the “Prohibited Use Policy”). You acknowledge and agree that, while the Platform may monitor, review, screen, or evaluate transactions and Account activity for compliance with this Agreement, the Prohibited Use Policy, and applicable law, neither the Platform nor the Bank is obligated to do so, and the failure to identify or prevent any prohibited or unlawful transaction shall not constitute a waiver or give rise to any liability.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Account, Card, and services complies with this Agreement, the Prohibited Use Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. The Platform and/or the Bank may, in their sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by law, refuse to process, block, reverse, delay, or investigate any transaction, or suspend or terminate your Account or access to services, if they determine that such transaction or activity may violate this Agreement, the Prohibited Use Policy, or applicable law.
Any use of the Account, Card, or services for a prohibited or restricted purpose shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In such event, the Platform and/or the Bank may terminate this Agreement, close your Account, and take any other action permitted by law. You agree to indemnify and hold the Platform and the Bank harmless from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising directly or indirectly from your prohibited or unlawful use of the Account, Card, or services.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to pay for, and remain responsible for, all transactions that you authorized or permitted, even if such transactions are later determined to be prohibited, restricted, or illegal.
Freezes, Blocking, or Closing Accounts Due to Irregular or Unlawful Activities. You agree that if Bank, Platform, or Program Manager reasonably suspects or determines that any irregular, unauthorized, suspicious, fraudulent, or unlawful activity may be occurring in connection with your Account or related services, it may, in its discretion, restrict transactions, place a hold on funds, suspend access, or “freeze” the Account, in whole or in part, while it conducts an investigation or takes other action as required or permitted by applicable law. If Bank places a hold on or freezes your Account, Bank will provide any notice required under applicable law, which may be delivered through Platform unless prohibited or delayed by law, regulation, court order, or law enforcement request.
You acknowledge and agree that Bank, Platform, or Program Manager may take such actions as necessary to comply with applicable anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions, fraud prevention, or similar laws and regulations, including, without limitation, regulations and directives issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, including the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), and applicable Canadian authorities, including the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (“PCMLTFA”) and regulations administered by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (“FINTRAC”).
You understand and agree that Bank, Platform, and Program Manager shall not be liable for any losses, delays, or inability to access funds resulting from any action taken in good faith pursuant to this section, except to the extent caused by such party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and to the extent liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.
4. DEPOSITS TO YOUR ACCOUNT
Deposits to the Account. You may fund or deposit funds into the Account solely through your Float account or through a payment connection established and approved through the Platform, in each case if enabled and made available by the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that funds will be transferred from your Float balance or through a payment connection established and approved through the Platform only when you submit a valid payment or transfer instruction through the Platform, and that the timing and availability of such funds depend on the funding source, settlement timing, payment method, and applicable network, banking, or regulatory requirements. Availability of funds may therefore differ from the time a Float balance is reflected in the Platform.
No Deposits in Cash, Paper Checks, or Foreign Currency. Bank will only accept funds deposited electronically through Platform using supported electronic payment methods made available to you. We are not liable for any deposits lost in the mail, lost in transit, or not received by us. We do not accept (i) deposits in cash, cashier’s checks, or money orders, (ii) deposits of any type of check via mail, or (iii) foreign currency. If we receive any such instruments, we may return the item to the address we have on file for you, or otherwise handle the item as required by applicable law, and we will not be responsible for any loss associated with such handling.
Our Right to Charge Back Deposited Items or Electronic Transfers. If you receive an electronic transfer as provided in this Agreement and (i) the paying bank returns it to us unpaid; (ii) the paying bank or sender demands that we repay it because it was altered, forged, unauthorized, or otherwise improper; or (iii) the sending bank or originator demands that we return the item because it was unauthorized, sent to the wrong account number, or procured by fraud, we may pay the return or demand and subtract the funds from your Account, even if the balance in your Account is not sufficient to cover the amount we subtract, causing a negative balance. If we have reason to believe that any of the foregoing may occur, we may place a hold on the funds until we determine who is entitled to them.
Right to Reject Any Deposit. We may refuse any deposit, with or without cause, and may restrict access to any deposit credited to your Account that violates applicable law or sanctions requirements.
5. WITHDRAWALS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT
Withdrawal Methods and Limits. You can make withdrawals from your Account using any of these methods (if enabled by the Platform):
- Transaction Type: ACH transfers to an external payee or vendor
- Per Day: $5,000,000 per Account / Day *
- Per Month: $8,000,000 per Account / Month *
The limits included here are the highest limits allowed for transactions. However, we reserve the right to allow you to transact higher volume than the limits defined herein at any time without prior notice. In certain cases, for security reasons, we may lower your limits upon notice to you at the time you attempt to initiate a transaction.
Transaction Limits; Risk Adjustments. All transaction limits described in this Agreement are limits per Account, unless otherwise specified. Transaction limits are established to manage operational, security, compliance, and risk considerations and may be applied differently based on transaction type, payment method, or funding source. We may, in our discretion, reduce, restrict, or temporarily suspend applicable transaction limits at any time where we determine such action is reasonably necessary to address risk, security concerns, compliance obligations, payment network requirements, or suspected unauthorized or suspicious activity. Any such adjustment may be applied without prior notice and may be communicated to you at or around the time you attempt to initiate a transaction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Vendor Payments; Bill Pay. If enabled by the Platform, you may instruct the Platform to initiate payments from your Account to third-party vendors, service providers, or other payees (each, a “Vendor Payment”), including through bill payment or accounts-payable workflows made available through the Platform. All Vendor Payments are initiated solely based on the payment instructions you submit through the Platform.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and validity of all Vendor Payment information you provide, including the payee name, routing number, account number, payment amount, and payment timing. Neither the Bank nor the Platform is responsible for payments sent to an incorrect or unintended payee due to inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.
Once a Vendor Payment has been submitted for processing, cancellation or recovery may not be possible. Any attempt to cancel, stop, or recover a Vendor Payment will be made on a best-efforts basis only and is subject to processing deadlines, payment network rules, and the cooperation of receiving financial institutions or payees. Neither the Bank nor the Platform guarantees that a Vendor Payment can be stopped, reversed, or recovered once processing has begun.
Vendor Payments may be rejected, returned, delayed, or reversed for reasons including insufficient funds, invalid payee information, compliance or risk reviews, payment network rules, or actions of third-party financial institutions or payees. Your responsibility for returned or rejected payments, including applicable fees, is described elsewhere in this Agreement.
Overdrafts. You are not permitted to overdraw your Account. If the available balance in your Account is insufficient to cover a payment or withdrawal you have authorized, we may refuse to process it. We do not charge overdraft fees. A negative balance may occur in limited circumstances, including as a result of adjustments, returns, reversals, or fees charged in accordance with this Agreement. If your Account balance becomes negative, you are required to promptly restore it to a non-negative balance.
If a negative balance remains outstanding for an extended period, including thirty (30) calendar days or more, we reserve the right to take appropriate action as permitted by applicable law, which may include suspension of services, closure of the Account, or referral to collections. If an Account is referred for collection, you agree to pay all reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, to the extent permitted by law.
Notice of Furnishing Negative Information. At this time, neither Bank nor Platform reports information regarding your Account to consumer or business credit bureaus. However, Bank or Platform reserves the right to furnish information about your Account to credit reporting agencies in the future, to the extent permitted by applicable law and upon providing any notice required by law.
6. FUNDS AVAILABILITY
Availability. We make funds available according to the type of deposit and when the funds are applied or credited to your Account. Some types of deposits may not be available for immediate use. When we delay the availability of funds or place a hold on a deposit made to your Account, you may not withdraw those funds, and we will not use them to pay any debits, such as ACH transfers or payments. If any direct deposit, ACH transfer, or other transfer for which you have received credit is not paid for any reason, you agree to pay us the amount for which you have received credit. The length of the delay in the availability of funds will vary depending on the type of deposit.
Business Days. The length of the delay in the availability of funds is counted in business days from the day your deposit is applied to your Account. For purposes of these disclosures, a “Business Day” means Monday through Friday, excluding applicable bank holidays. For transactions funded from your Float balance, Business Days are determined based on U.S. federal banking holidays. For transactions funded through an external payment connection, Business Days may be determined based on the holidays observed by the applicable financial institutions involved, which may include U.S. and/or Canadian banking holidays, depending on the source of funds and payment routing. Deposits or payment instructions received after applicable cut-off times or on a day that is not a Business Day will be processed on the next applicable Business Day.
How Transactions Are Posted to Your Account. There are two types of transactions that affect your Account: credits (deposits of money into your Account) and debits (payments out of your Account). It is important to understand how each is applied to your Account so that you know how much money you have and how much is available to you at any given time. This Section explains generally how and when we post transactions to your Account. If we change these practices, we will provide you notice in accordance with this Agreement.
Credits. Deposits are generally credited to your Account when received and accepted by the Bank. However, in some cases, when you deposit funds, all or a portion of the deposit may be subject to holds, delays, or availability restrictions and may not be available for withdrawal or use at the time of deposit. Such holds or delays may occur for reasons including, without limitation, processing timeframes, verification requirements, return risk, regulatory or compliance reviews, or other risk-management considerations, as permitted by applicable law. Funds credited to your Account remain subject to adjustment, reversal, or return if the deposit is rejected, returned, reversed, or otherwise not finally settled, and the Bank, Program Manager, or Platform may debit your Account for any such amounts.
Debits. There are several types of debit transactions that may be processed against the Account. Debit transactions may be presented for payment through various payment systems and clearing channels, and we do not control the timing or order in which such transactions are received.
Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transactions. We receive ACH transaction files each business day, Monday through Friday, excluding recognized federal holidays. For ACH transactions received at the same time, including transactions included in the same data file, ACH credit transactions are generally posted before ACH debit transactions, in the order received by us. ACH transactions may be posted to the Account throughout the business day. We may process debit transactions throughout the day as they are received and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and payment network rules. We may change our posting practices at any time, subject to applicable law. The timing of posting may affect the availability of funds and the order in which transactions are paid. Posting order does not affect our right to return, reject, or decline any transaction.
7. ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER DISCLOSURES
Electronic Transfers via ACH. If enabled by Platform, you may originate transfers to and from your Account via ACH as provided in this Agreement. These requests must be made via the Platform. By submitting an ACH transfer request through the Platform, you authorize the Bank and the Platform to originate and process ACH entries on your behalf in accordance with applicable law and ACH network rules. In the case of electronic transfer requests from an external bank account to your Account, we will complete such requests only if the funds are being transferred from your linked external account. Any deposits received in any other name may be returned to the originator.
Same Day ACH; Cut-off Time. The cut-off time for scheduling same day ACH transfers (if enabled on your Account) is 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If enabled by Platform, Same Day ACH means that the transfer is intended to be performed on the same business day, but same-day settlement is not guaranteed and may be delayed, rejected, or returned due to operational, risk, compliance, or network-related reasons. Any same day ACH transfer scheduled after the cut-off time will be treated as if it were scheduled as a next day ACH transfer. ACH transfers are subject to settlement risk and network processing requirements, and funds credited to your Account remain subject to return, reversal, or adjustment until final settlement.
Limitations on Transfers, Amounts and Frequency. Your rights under this Agreement to make electronic funds transfers are subject to the frequency and dollar amount limits established in this Agreement.
Right to Receive Documentation of Electronic Funds Transfers. Your electronic funds transfers will be reflected on the statements that will be delivered to you through the Platform App. You can also contact Platform at the customer service contact information set forth in this Agreement to obtain information about any particular deposit or transfer.
Right to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers and Procedures. If you have scheduled a one-time or a recurring ACH transfer via the Platform, you may stop or cancel that transfer by following the procedures defined here. To stop an ACH transfer that you initiated via the Platform App, either one-time or recurring, use the Platform App to cancel such payment, or contact Platform at the customer service contact information set forth in this Agreement to request cancellation of the transfer. To stop a one-time or recurring transfer that you have authorized a third party to debit from the Account, please contact that third party to request the cancellation of the payment. You also may contact Platform at the customer service contact information set forth in this Agreement to request a stop on the payment.
If you wish to contact us to stop a one-time or recurring transfer that you initiated via the Platform App or that you have authorized a third party to debit from the Account, your request to stop the transfer must be received at least three (3) Business Days before the transfer is scheduled to occur. Regarding recurring payments, you should specify whether you wish to stop one recurring payment or all recurring payments. If you do not specify, all recurring payments may be stopped. You must specify the name of the payee, the dollar amount of the payment, and the date of the payment. In the case of a recurring third-party debit authorization, you may contact us to stop one recurring payment. To stop all future payments pursuant to the third party’s recurring authorization, you must put your initial oral request (if oral) in writing and send it to us within fourteen (14) days of your initial oral request. If the written stop payment notification is not received at least fourteen (14) days before the future payment is scheduled to occur, we will honour that and all other future payments as originally authorized without liability to you.
Stop payment requests are subject to processing deadlines, ACH network rules, and operational limitations, and may not be effective if received after processing has begun. We do not guarantee that a stop payment request will be successful. Stop payment requests may be subject to fees as disclosed in the Platform App or applicable fee schedule.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Account Transactions. The Account is a commercial account and does not provide consumer-level protections for unauthorized transactions or unauthorized access. You acknowledge and agree that laws and regulations applicable to consumer accounts may not apply to the Account.
You are responsible for safeguarding all credentials, identifiers, and access mechanisms associated with the Account. If you believe that the Account number, login credentials, or any other information used to access the Account has been lost, stolen, compromised, or used without authorization, you must notify us as soon as reasonably practicable and cooperate fully with any reasonable actions we request to prevent further unauthorized activity.
Until an Authorized Representative reports an unauthorized transaction or compromised access to the Account and we have had a reasonable opportunity to prevent additional transactions, the Account owner will be fully liable for all transactions initiated and all fees incurred as a result of any unauthorized use of the Account. Failure to provide prompt notice may limit or eliminate your ability to recover funds, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
You must contact customer service immediately if you believe that: (a) Account access credentials or identifying information have been lost, stolen, or compromised; (b) any person has obtained unauthorized access to the Account; or (c) funds have been transferred or may be transferred from the Account without the permission of an Authorized Representative. Notification may be made by contacting the Platform via email support@floatfinancial.com or by logging into the Platform application. Prompt notification is the most effective way to minimize potential losses.
The Account owner is responsible for all transactions initiated and all fees incurred through use of the Account. If you or an Authorized Representative permit any other person to access the Account, such access will be deemed authorized by you, and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by such person, even if such transactions exceed the scope of permission granted.
You remain responsible for all transactions and fees incurred by your Authorized Representatives, including where an Authorized Representative exceeds the authority granted to them. Transactions will be treated as unauthorized only after you notify us that a person is no longer authorized to access the Account and we have had a reasonable opportunity to prevent further transactions by that person. Except as required by applicable law or payment-network rules, we are not obligated to reverse or reimburse unauthorized transactions. Nothing in this section limits liability resulting from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions. We are not liable for any failure to complete a transaction involving the Account if we provide notice to you that the transaction was not completed. We are also not liable for any failed or delayed transaction if:
(a) through no fault of ours, there are insufficient available funds in the Account to cover the transaction;
(b) the payee, merchant, financial institution, or other third party refuses or is unable to accept or process the transaction;
(c) access to the Account or any linked account has been restricted, suspended, or blocked following your report of compromised access credentials or suspected unauthorized activity;
(d) the funds in the Account are subject to a hold, legal or administrative process, or other restriction or encumbrance limiting their availability or use;
(e) we have reason to believe (acting in good faith) that the requested transaction is unauthorized, fraudulent, unlawful, or in violation of this Agreement;
(f) we have received incomplete, inaccurate, or delayed information from a third-party payor, payee, financial institution, or service provider;
(g) circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including fire, flood, natural disasters, power outages, or computer, network, or communications failures, prevent or delay completion of the transaction despite reasonable precautions; or
(h) any other exception set forth in this Agreement or permitted by applicable law.
Confidentiality. We will disclose information to third parties about your Account or the transfers you make (including transactions using your Card): (i) where it is necessary for completing transfers; (ii) in order to verify the existence and condition of your Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; (iii) in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or (iv) if you give us your written permission.
Data and Information Sharing. In connection with the opening, maintenance, monitoring, and use of the Account and related services, information relating to you, your Account, and your transactions may be collected, used, disclosed, and shared for compliance, operational, and risk-management purposes. Such information may include, without limitation: business identification and registration information; know-your-business and know-your-customer information; beneficial ownership and control person information; Authorized Representative information; payment instructions; payee, vendor, and invoice data; transaction activity; and related records.
You acknowledge and agree that such information may be shared, as necessary and permitted by applicable law, with the Bank, the Platform, any applicable program manager or intermediary (including Synctera), payment processors, payment networks, correspondent banks, deposit network or safeguarding service providers, auditors, and other service providers involved in providing, supporting, or monitoring the services. Information may also be disclosed to governmental authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts, or other third parties where required or permitted by law, regulation, subpoena, or legal process.
Such information may be used for purposes including, without limitation: customer identification and verification; sanctions and watchlist screening; anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance; transaction monitoring; fraud prevention; responding to regulatory inquiries, requests for information, audits, examinations, or investigations; and enforcing this Agreement. Information may be processed or stored in the United States or Canada, depending on the nature of the service, transaction routing, or regulatory requirements.
ACH Services and NACHA Rules. If the Platform allows you to originate ACH transactions, your origination of such transactions is subject to additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to the NACHA Operating Rules, as in effect from time to time.
8. RETURNS, REJECTS AND FEES
Electronic funds transfers, including ACH transfers, may be returned, rejected, reversed, or otherwise not completed for reasons including insufficient funds, invalid or incorrect payee or account information, compliance or risk reviews, payment-network rules, or actions or omissions of third-party financial institutions, payment processors, or payees. You are responsible for all fees, costs, and charges arising from or relating to returned, rejected, reversed, or failed electronic funds transfers initiated through the Platform, including, without limitation, ACH return fees, operator or network fees, and fees charged by third-party financial institutions or service providers, except to the extent such fees arise directly from the Bank’s, Platform’s, or Program Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulatory requirements, the Bank may debit your Account and, where applicable, any available Float balance or other funds held for your benefit through the Platform, to recover any such fees, costs, or amounts owed in connection with returned, rejected, reversed, or failed transfers. Neither the Bank, Program Manager, nor the Platform shall be responsible for losses resulting from returned or rejected transfers where such returns or rejections are not caused by the Bank’s, Program Manager’s, or Platform’s error, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
9. ACH ORIGINATION
Capitalized terms used in this Section but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the NACHA Operating Rules & Guidelines (the “NACHA Rules”), as adopted by NACHA and in effect from time to time.
For purposes of this Section, the term “Entry” means an ACH debit or credit entry, including any data provided by you through the Platform and used by us to prepare or initiate such Entry on your behalf. For the avoidance of doubt, transfers of funds made through wire transfer are not subject to this Section.
The ACH Origination Service enables you to initiate debit and credit Entries through the Automated Clearing House. As used in this Section, a “debit Entry” is an Entry that transfers funds from a Receiver’s account to your Account, and a “credit Entry” is an Entry that transfers funds from your Account to a Receiver’s account. You will be the Originator for, and authorize us to originate on your behalf to the Receiver’s account, each Entry you submit through the Platform. We will be the Originating Depository Financial Institution (“ODFI”) for each such Entry.
You are bound by and will comply with the NACHA Rules and all applicable laws and regulations in using the ACH Origination Service. You will not originate Entries that are unauthorized, fraudulent, unlawful, or in violation of applicable law or regulations, including economic sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).
Generally, you may only submit Entries to us through the Platform using approved workflows and security procedures. You may only submit Entries of the types designated by SEC Codes approved for your Account. We may, at any time and in our discretion, prohibit you from initiating certain types of Entries through the ACH Origination Service.
You will not use a third party to submit an Entry (or a request to cancel an Entry) to us on your behalf without our prior written consent. If you use any such third party with our consent: (A) you are responsible for all acts, errors, and omissions of such third party; and (B) each reference to you in this Section includes such third party, as applicable.
We may establish and change aggregate and individual dollar limits for your Entries or types of Entries (the “Exposure Limits”). We will notify you of applicable Exposure Limits from time to time. We may elect to process an Entry that exceeds an Exposure Limit, but doing so does not obligate us to process any future Entry that exceeds an Exposure Limit.
You have no right to reverse, delete, cancel, or amend an Entry after we receive it. If you request us to reverse, delete, or cancel an Entry, and we are able to verify that request in accordance with applicable security procedures, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such request, generally by issuing a reversing Entry, but we are not liable if we are unable to do so. You will indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims and losses relating to any such request or attempt.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, we will: (1) process Entries received from you to conform with the file specifications set forth in the NACHA Rules; (2) transmit such Entries as the ODFI to an ACH Operator; and (3) settle for such Entries in accordance with the NACHA Rules.
ACH Entries are subject to settlement risk and network processing requirements. Credit to your Account for any Entry is provisional until final settlement is received. We may debit your Account for any Entry that is returned, reversed, adjusted, or otherwise not finally settled, including for insufficient funds or unauthorized authorization.
If Same Day ACH is enabled for your Account, the following terms apply. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit Same Day Entries to an ACH Operator in accordance with applicable same-day deadlines, provided that such Entries are received by applicable cut-off times and otherwise comply with NACHA Rules. Same Day ACH settlement is not guaranteed, and Same Day Entries may be delayed, rejected, or returned for operational, risk, compliance, or network-related reasons. You may not submit a Same Day Entry that exceeds the dollar limits established under the NACHA Rules or any Exposure Limits we establish. Each Same Day Entry may be subject to a separate fee, as disclosed to you from time to time.
We may suspend processing of or reject any Entry for any reason permitted under this Agreement or the NACHA Rules, including Entries that exceed Exposure Limits, contain invalid or stale effective dates, or pose compliance, fraud, or operational risk. We are not liable for any such suspension or rejection.
We will notify you through the Platform of any Return Entry or Notification of Change (“NOC”) received. You are responsible for correcting Entries in response to NOCs within the timeframes required by the NACHA Rules. You are responsible for all fines, penalties, or assessments imposed due to your failure to correct an Entry following an NOC, and we may debit such amounts from your Account without prior notice.
You must maintain sufficient collected funds in your Account to cover all Entries you initiate. We may require pre-funding or reserves in amounts we determine necessary to manage risk. Failure to maintain required funding or reserves may result in suspension of the ACH Origination Service.
You will retain all authorizations and records relating to Entries for at least two (2) years following the termination or expiration of such authorizations and will provide copies upon our reasonable request. We may audit your compliance with this Agreement, the NACHA Rules, and applicable law, and you will cooperate fully with any such audit.
With respect to each Entry you submit, you represent and warrant that: (A) the Entry has been properly authorized and such authorization has not been revoked; (B) the Entry complies with this Agreement and the NACHA Rules, including the use of the proper SEC Code; (C) all information submitted with the Entry is accurate and complete; and (D) you have obtained all required consents and authorizations under applicable law.
You may not act as a Third-Party Sender without our prior written consent. Any unauthorized Third-Party Sender activity constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate suspension or termination of the ACH Origination Service.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
Assignment; Transfer; Non-Waiver. The Account and your obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by you without our prior written consent. We may transfer or assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement at any time. Platform acts as an agent of Bank for certain purposes and will be responsible for carrying out certain of Bank’s obligations under this Agreement as Bank’s agent, including receiving notices from you, responding to inquiries or complaints relating to your Account, and performing other responsibilities described in this Agreement. Accordingly, where Bank is responsible for matters under this Agreement, such matters may be handled either by Platform or by Bank directly. Use of the Account is subject to applicable federal and state laws and all applicable rules, regulations, and customs of any clearinghouse or other association governing the Account or any transactions conducted through the Account. If either party excuses the other from compliance with any provision of this Agreement, such excuse shall not operate as a waiver of the right to enforce compliance with that or any other provision on any other occasion, regardless of the number or duration of any prior excusals. A party may not reasonably rely on the other party’s past forbearance to modify or waive present or future rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Deposit Network Service. From time to time, we may, but are not obligated to, deposit or hold some or all funds associated with your use of the services in one or more accounts at one or more depository institutions through (i) a deposit placement or sweep program and/or (ii) a safeguarding arrangement used to hold funds on your behalf until transferred in accordance with your payment instructions (your “Float Balance”) (each, a “Deposit Network Service”) administered by us or by a third-party service provider (a “Third-Party Service Provider”). In order for you to participate in a Deposit Network Service, we may ask you to enter into additional agreement(s) with us with respect to the Deposit Network Service.
United States. All depository institutions that participate in a Deposit Network Service in the United States (each a “Network Bank” and, together, the “Network Banks”) are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), as applicable. Each account at a Network Bank in which any funds are deposited as part of a Deposit Network Service shall be titled in the Bank’s name or the Bank’s agent’s name as custodian, for the benefit of eligible customers, to provide deposit insurance coverage to the extent permitted under applicable FDIC or NCUA rules, up to the applicable insurance limit (currently $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category).
Canada. Where funds are held in Canada as part of your Float Balance, such funds may be held in one or more accounts at one or more Canadian depository institutions, including CDIC member institutions, in a manner intended to safeguard those funds and provide deposit insurance coverage to the extent eligible under CDIC rules. CDIC generally insures eligible deposits up to $100,000 per insurance category, per member institution. You will not have direct access to any such safeguarding or deposit accounts.
RPAA Safeguarding. To the extent Float is required to safeguard end-user funds under the Retail Payment Activities Act (Canada), end-user funds held on your behalf until they are withdrawn or transferred will be safeguarded in accordance with applicable RPAA requirements, including by holding such funds in a segregated trust/safeguarding account or other permitted arrangement.
The bank may transfer funds directly to a Network Bank, or funds may be placed in the custody of a custodian bank prior to being transferred to a Network Bank. If any funds are held at a custodian bank, they shall be placed in an account that is titled and beneficially held to provide deposit insurance coverage to eligible customers to the extent permitted by applicable law and program requirements. Your funds held through a Deposit Network Service will be governed by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as funds held at Bank, except that you understand you will not have direct access to any account established at a Network Bank or custodian bank and may not take any direct action with respect to a Deposit Network Service.
You appoint Bank as your limited agent to provide the Deposit Network Service. Bank may at any time and in its sole discretion effect deposits to and withdrawals from accounts at Bank and any accounts established at the Network Banks as part of the Deposit Network Service. You authorize Bank to use one or more Third-Party Service Providers selected solely by Bank to act as your limited agent(s) to provide the Deposit Network Service, including the selection of one or more Network Banks and one or more custodian banks as Bank deems suitable for the purpose of providing the Deposit Network Service.
Insurance Limits and Monitoring. Any funds deposited at a Network Bank as part of the Deposit Network Service, and any funds you hold at the same Network Bank by any other means in the same capacity, may be eligible for deposit insurance in the aggregate up to the applicable insurance limit. It is your responsibility to monitor the aggregate balance of funds you beneficially own at each Network Bank (and, if applicable, each CDIC member institution) to determine whether those balances exceed applicable coverage limits and to take appropriate action.
Bank and its agents will maintain records of the balance that each depositor beneficially holds at each Network Bank (and, if applicable, each Canadian institution used for safeguarding). The use of the Deposit Network Service will not modify the Funds Availability Policy that is part of this Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Funds Availability Policy, your access to the funds made available through the Platform will not be affected by participation in a Deposit Network Service.
Abandoned or Inactive Accounts. Applicable unclaimed property laws govern when an account or balance is considered abandoned or inactive. An Account may be considered abandoned if there has been no activity associated with the Account for the period specified by applicable law. Activity associated with the Account is determined in accordance with the Platform’s terms and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Where an Account is at risk of being deemed abandoned or inactive, the Platform will be notified and may take action in accordance with its terms. If an Account or balance is deemed abandoned, we are required to remit the remaining funds to the appropriate governmental authority. Before doing so, we may attempt to contact you using the contact information on file. Unless prohibited by law, we may deduct from the Account our reasonable costs and expenses incurred in providing notice and processing the remittance in accordance with applicable law.
FDIC Insurance. For any deposit accounts you open, the FDIC requires Bank to disclose, and you hereby acknowledge, that deposits held by Bank are insured up to $250,000 federal deposit insurance limit, per depositor for each ownership category.
Account Owner Representations and Warranties. By requesting, activating, accessing, or using the Account, or by retaining or authorizing the use of the Account, the Account owner represents and warrants to us that: (a) the Account owner has received a copy of this Agreement and agrees to be bound by and to comply with its terms; (b) if the Account owner is a legal entity, such entity is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction of its formation; (c) if the Account owner is a legal entity, such entity is duly qualified and in good standing to conduct business in all jurisdictions in which it conducts business; (d) if the Account owner is a legal entity, such entity has all requisite organizational power and authority to establish the Account, enter into this Agreement, and perform its obligations hereunder; (e) all personal, business, and other information provided by the Account owner to us in connection with the Account is true, accurate, and complete; (f) if the Account owner is a legal entity, the individual accepting this Agreement on behalf of the Account owner has the requisite authority to bind the Account owner to this Agreement; (g) each Authorized Representative designated by the Account owner is at least eighteen (18) years of age (or older if the applicable age of majority is higher) and otherwise eligible to act on behalf of the Account owner; (h) the Account owner has authorized each Authorized Representative to access and use the Account in accordance with this Agreement; (i) the Account owner has provided each Authorized Representative with a copy of this Agreement, and each Authorized Representative has agreed to be bound by and comply with its terms; and (j) the Account will be used solely for business purposes and not for personal, family, or household purposes.
Our Relationship with You. This Agreement and the relationship between you and the Bank is that of debtor and creditor, and the Bank owes no fiduciary duty to you. The products and services offered by Platform are not endorsed or guaranteed by Bank and Bank assumes no liability for the Platform’s products and services, except for those services expressly provided for in this Agreement. You understand that Platform and Bank are not partners, affiliates, or joint venturers with each other. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to be read or understood as making Platform and Bank partners, affiliates, or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, Platform has no authority to act or represent Bank in any way. Bank provides the services under this Agreement in part through one or more service providers, including Platform. You agree that Platform and any other such service providers are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, which means they can enforce the Agreement against you.
Standard of Care; Limitation of Liability. We will exercise commercially reasonable care in providing the services under this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our liability for losses you incur in connection with your Account is limited to direct, actual damages proven to be proximately caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In the case of the unauthorized disclosure of private or confidential information, liability, if any, will be determined in accordance with applicable law. We will have no liability for acting on instructions from you or from an Authorized Representative, or instructions we reasonably believe in good faith to be from you or an Authorized Representative. We will have no liability for declining to act on instructions whose authenticity or accuracy cannot be verified to our satisfaction, or for not acting on instructions not actually received. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law, we, our affiliates, and the parties with whom we and our affiliates contract in order to offer your Account and related services are neither responsible nor liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating in any way to your Account, Card, any products or services purchased using the Account, or this Agreement (as well as any related or prior agreement you may have had with us).
Without limiting the foregoing, we will not be liable for and will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting if such failure or delay is caused by legal constraint, interruption of transmission or communications facilities, equipment failure, war, act of terror, emergency conditions, or other conditions beyond our control. To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and will be excused from, failing to process or any delay in processing a transfer of funds (i) if, in our reasonable discretion, processing a transfer would violate or contribute to the violation of any law, regulation or regulatory requirement; or (ii) if processing a transfer, in our sole discretion, would cause it to engage in an unsafe and unsound practice.
Except if another provision of this Agreement requires a shorter time period, any claim, action, or proceeding by you to enforce the terms of this Agreement or to recover for any Account-related loss must be commenced within one year from the date that the event giving rise to the claim, action, or proceeding first occurs, except as otherwise required by applicable law or where a shorter period is expressly provided.
You agree to cooperate with us in any loss recovery efforts we undertake to reduce any loss or liability that arises in connection with the Account. This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Adjustments. If we make an error in your favour by excessively crediting or insufficiently debiting your Account for any reason, including, without limitation, the giving of cash or credit in excess of a corresponding account debit, you agree that you owe us and agree to promptly pay the amount in error, whether you relied on the error or not, and that we may debit your Account for the amount in error.
Indemnification. You will indemnify and defend us and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, and hold each of them harmless, against suit, judgment, asserted claim, demand, excise taxes, claims, liabilities, or losses, including fees of counsel, interest, and other expenses, arising directly or indirectly from your Account, Card, our performance under this Agreement, your breach of your obligations under this Agreement, your instructions, actions or omissions, or the instructions, actions or omissions of third parties whom you have permitted to direct, manage, view or otherwise act or omit to act in connection with your Account, unless the claim, liability, or loss arises out of our gross negligence or willful misconduct. If we and our officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives are entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, we will give you notice of the claim and any further pleadings, communication, or other information connected with it. You shall defend us, and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, or pay for the cost of our defense, as we or our officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives shall elect. The parties shall cooperate for the cost-effective defense of the claim, and we and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives will not settle any claim for which indemnification is demanded without your consent. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Right to Set Off. If your Account balance becomes and remains negative, we may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, use funds in any of your accounts with us that are not required to be held in trust or safeguarded for your benefit under applicable law to repay the negative balance in your Account without further notice or demand. Moreover, we have the right to set-off against any account you have with us any liability, direct or contingent, past, present, or future that you owe us, including, but not limited to, any such liability you owe us under this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory requirements. Further, you grant us a lien on and security interest in the funds on deposit in each of your accounts as security for all of your liabilities and obligations to us, now or in the future as permitted by applicable law. You may not grant a security interest in your Account to anyone other than us without our written agreement.
Claims of Loss. If you claim a credit or refund in connection with an unauthorized transaction or other Account error, you agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of the claim, including by providing an affidavit or other information we reasonably request concerning the Account, the transaction, and the circumstances surrounding the claim. We may require you to notify appropriate authorities where required by law or where reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud or criminal activity. We will have a reasonable period of time to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding any claim of loss. You agree that you will not waive any rights you may have to recover your loss against any third party that is obligated to repay, insure, or otherwise reimburse you for the loss, and you will pursue such rights or, at our option, assign them to us. Our liability, if any, will be reduced by the amount you recover or are entitled to recover from such other sources.

THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION PROVIDES FOR MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS (SUBJECT TO SOME EXCEPTIONS), INSTEAD OF COURT PROCEEDINGS. IF YOU OR WE ELECT ARBITRATION OF A CLAIM, NEITHER WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING. RIGHTS YOU WOULD HAVE IN COURT THAT MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL. FEES AND EXPENSES OF ARBITRATION MAY BE HIGHER THAN THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH COURT PROCEEDINGS. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE BINDING, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW.
Agreement to Arbitrate. Any claim, dispute, or controversy (“Claim”) arising out of or relating in any way to: (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Account, Card or our services; (iii) your use of the Account, Card or our services; (iv) the amount of funds held in the Account; (v) advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related to the Account or our services; (vi) the benefits related to the Account, Card or our services; or (vii) transactions made using the Account, Card or our services, no matter how described, pleaded or styled, shall be FINALLY and EXCLUSIVELY resolved by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1-16). The arbitration shall occur in Tennessee or such other location as the parties may mutually agree, including by remote means.
ARBITRATION OF YOUR CLAIM IS MANDATORY AND BINDING. NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. IN ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE AAA CODE OF PROCEDURE.
For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about this organization, contact it at: AAA, 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, or at www.adr.org.
All determinations as to the scope, interpretation, enforceability and validity of this Agreement shall be made exclusively by the arbitrator, which award shall be binding and final. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
NO CLASS ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON OR CLASS OF CLAIMANTS SHALL BE ALLOWABLE.
This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) the termination of the Agreement; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party; (iii) any transfer, sale or assignment of your Account, or any amounts owed on your Account, to any other person or entity; or (iv) closing of the Account. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in force.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOTIFY PLATFORM WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AT support@floatfinancial.com, TO CLOSE THE ACCOUNT AND REQUEST A REFUND, IF APPLICABLE.
Costs of Arbitration. You and we will be responsible for paying the fees of the arbitrator and any administrative fees charged by the arbitrator according to the rules and procedures of the arbitrator. We will also pay or reimburse you for all or part of other arbitration fees, if the arbitrator determines there is good reason to do so, and we will pay any fees and costs, which we are required to pay by law or by the rules and procedures of the arbitrator. In addition, in the event that you receive an arbitration award that is greater than our last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to require us to pay your attorneys’ fees and costs. Otherwise, each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless of who prevails.
The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. Costs will be allocated in the same way as costs are allocated in arbitration by a single arbitrator. A final and binding award is subject to judicial review only as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. An arbitration award will be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act by any court having jurisdiction.

These Float International Payments Terms (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Float Financial Solutions Inc.’s (“Float,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) international payments services (the “International Payments Service”).
These Terms form a standalone agreement between Float and the business entity using the International Payments Service (“you” or “Customer”).
The International Payments Service is available to Float customers and may be used solely for business purposes. By using the International Payments Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. The International Payments Service
1.1 Service Description
The International Payments Service enables you to:
- send and receive international payments, including international wire transfers and other cross-border payments;
- submit payment instructions to Float for execution on your behalf; and
- make payments to, or receive payments from, third-party counterparties outside Canada or the United States.
1.2 Service Providers
Float provides the International Payments Service through one or more regulated third-party payment service providers, including Currencycloud Ltd. and/or its applicable affiliates (“Currencycloud”), a Visa-owned entity.
Certain components of the International Payments Service, including payment execution, foreign exchange, account infrastructure, safeguarding arrangements, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, fraud prevention, and regulatory reporting, are performed by Currencycloud and other intermediaries under their own regulatory licenses and compliance obligations.
2. Relationship Structure
2.1 Your Relationship with Float
Your contractual relationship for the International Payments Service is with Float. Float is responsible for:
- providing access to the International Payments Service;
- receiving and transmitting your payment instructions; and
- customer support and service communications.
2.2 Accounts with Currencycloud
To use the International Payments Service, you may be required to hold one or more business accounts, sub-accounts, or virtual accounts with Currencycloud.
You acknowledge and agree that such accounts:
- exist solely to facilitate international payments through Float;
- are not personal, consumer, or retail bank accounts; and
- are subject to Currencycloud’s regulatory, operational, and compliance requirements.
2.3 No Fiduciary or Escrow Relationship
You acknowledge and agree that, except where funds are required by applicable law to be safeguarded or held in trust prior to execution, Float does not act as a fiduciary, escrow agent, trustee, or financial advisor in connection with the International Payments Service.
Once funds are transferred from Float-controlled systems for the purpose of executing an international payment, such funds are subject to the processes, controls, and requirements of third-party financial institutions, payment networks, and intermediaries. Float does not control, and is not responsible for, the actions or omissions of such third parties beyond its obligations under these Terms.
3. Payment Instructions and Execution
3.1 Authorization
By submitting a payment request through Float, you authorize Float to transmit your payment instructions and related transaction information to Currencycloud, correspondent banks, payment networks, and other intermediaries as necessary to process the transaction.
3.2 Accuracy of Information
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and validity of all payment information you provide, including beneficiary details, bank identifiers, routing information, addresses, amounts, and purpose-of-payment information.
Neither Float nor Currencycloud is responsible for delays, losses, rejections, misdirected payments, or failed transactions resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent information provided by you or your authorized users.
3.3 Best-Efforts Execution
International payments are executed on a best-efforts basis only and are subject to:
- applicable Canadian, U.S., and international laws and regulations;
- sanctions screening, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorist financing controls;
- fraud and transaction monitoring;
- cut-off times, correspondent banking processes, and payment network rules; and
- actions or omissions of third-party financial institutions and payment intermediaries.
Execution times are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
3.4 Payment Timelines, Cut-Off Times, and Holidays
Processing times for inbound and outbound international payments depend on a variety of factors, including payment method, currency, cut-off times, intermediary banks, payment networks, and regulatory or compliance reviews.
Float publishes general information regarding estimated processing timelines and cut-off times for different payment types through its Help Centre or other customer communications. These timelines are estimates only and are not guarantees.
Payments submitted after applicable cut-off times, on weekends, or on bank or payment-network holidays may be processed on the next applicable business day. Business days may be determined by reference to Canadian federal banking holidays, U.S. banking holidays, and the holiday calendars observed by Currencycloud, correspondent banks, payment networks, or local clearing systems.
You acknowledge that:
- inbound payments may be delayed by the sender’s bank, intermediary banks, or payment processors before reaching Float or Currencycloud;
- outbound payments may be delayed or rejected due to compliance reviews, sanctions screening, or payment network requirements; and
- Float does not control the processing speed or availability of funds once a payment has entered external banking or payment systems.
Float is not responsible for delays caused by third-party financial institutions, payment networks, holidays, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond Float’s reasonable control.
3.5 Exchange Rates and Fees
International payments may involve foreign exchange conversion. Where a payment is initiated in one currency and received in another, any foreign exchange conversion may be effected by the receiving bank, a correspondent bank, or another intermediary financial institution. In such circumstances, the exchange rate applied, together with any related fees, charges, or deductions, is determined solely by the applicable third party, and Float does not determine, control, or guarantee such exchange rate, fees, or deductions.
Float does not guarantee the availability of any specific exchange rate and shall not be responsible for any losses, deductions, discrepancies, or differences in amounts received arising from foreign exchange conversion performed by third-party financial institutions.
Float may, at its discretion, offer foreign exchange conversion services as part of the service in the future. Where Float provides foreign exchange conversion, the exchange rate applied may be determined by Float or its payment partners and may include a spread, markup, or other fee. Any applicable exchange rate, spread, markup, or fee will be disclosed to you through the Services or other applicable customer communications prior to execution of the relevant transaction.
Any exchange rate displayed, referenced, or made available, whether determined by Float or a third party, is indicative only and may change between the time a payment instruction is submitted and the time the payment is executed due to market conditions, processing delays, compliance reviews, or payment network requirements.
4. Funding Model
4.1 Push Funding by Customer
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the International Payments Service operates on a push-funding model for Customers.
You must proactively fund your Float balanc or approved payment connection before the payment can be executed.
4.2 No Pull Authority from External Accounts
Neither Float nor Currencycloud will pull funds from your external bank accounts to fund international payments unless you have expressly authorized such debits under a separate agreement.
4.3 Float Recovery Rights
Where permitted by applicable law, Float may debit your Float balance or other funds held for your benefit to recover fees, returns, reversals, chargebacks, or other amounts owed in connection with the International Payments Service.
5. Compliance, KYB/KYC, and Monitoring
5.1 Customer Due Diligence
To comply with applicable laws and regulatory obligations, Float and/or Currencycloud may conduct Know Your Business (KYB) and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, including ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews.
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information when reasonably requested.
5.2 Delegated Compliance
Float conducts its own know-your-business (KYB) and know-your-customer (KYC) checks and ongoing monitoring in connection with the International Payments Service, in accordance with applicable law and Float’s compliance obligations.
In order to provide the International Payments Service, Float may share relevant customer, beneficial ownership, and transaction information with Currencycloud and other payment partners. Currencycloud conducts its own independent KYB, KYC, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring pursuant to its regulatory obligations and internal compliance requirements.
Currencycloud does not rely solely on Float’s compliance checks and may independently delay, block, reject, freeze, reverse, or report any transaction, or impose additional information requirements, where required by applicable law, regulation, or regulatory guidance.
5.3 Identity Documents
As a general practice, identity documents are not shared in connection with routine transactions. However, identity documents and additional information may be requested and processed where required by applicable law, regulation, or enhanced due diligence obligations.
5.4 Prohibited and Restricted Use
You must not use the International Payments Service for any activity that is prohibited or restricted under applicable law, regulation, sanctions requirements, payment network rules, or Float’s policies, including activities that pose heightened legal, regulatory, financial crime, or reputational risk.
Without limiting the foregoing, the International Payments Service may not be used in connection with:
- industries, products, services, or business models that Float or its payment partners classify as prohibited or restricted;
- activities involving illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading conduct;
- transactions that violate economic sanctions, export controls, or trade restrictions; or
- transactions where required regulatory approvals, registrations, or licenses are not in place.
Float maintains additional information regarding prohibited and restricted activities in its Help Centre and related policy documentation, which may be updated from time to time. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those requirements as they apply to your use of the International Payments Service.
Float and its payment partners may, at any time and in their sole discretion, refuse to process, suspend, block, reverse, delay, or investigate any transaction, or suspend or terminate your access to the International Payments Service, where such action is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, sanctions requirements, payment network rules, or internal risk and compliance policies.
5.5 Restricted Countries and Sanctions
International payments are subject to economic sanctions, trade restrictions, and country-specific limitations imposed by governmental authorities and payment networks.
You acknowledge and agree that Float and its payment partners may prohibit or restrict payments to or from certain countries, regions, financial institutions, or counterparties, including jurisdictions subject to comprehensive sanctions, regional sanctions, or heightened regulatory risk.
Information regarding restricted or limited jurisdictions is made available through Float’s Help Centre or customer support resources and may change without notice in response to evolving legal, regulatory, or risk considerations.
Float and its payment partners may delay, block, return, freeze, or report any transaction that involves, directly or indirectly, a restricted jurisdiction or counterparty, or that otherwise presents sanctions or compliance risk. Such actions may be taken without prior notice where required or permitted by law.
6. Refunds, Recalls, and Disputes
6.1 Best-Efforts Assistance
Once a payment has been submitted for execution, it may be irrevocable.
Float will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist with recalls, refunds, amendments, investigations, and payment inquiries; however, all such assistance is provided on a best-efforts basis only and depends on third-party banks, payment networks, and counterparties. Recovery of funds is not guaranteed.
6.2 Disputes
Dispute rights and recovery outcomes are determined by applicable payment network rules and the policies of receiving financial institutions.
Float is not responsible for disputes between you and a payment recipient, correspondent bank, or intermediary and does not guarantee resolution in your favour.
7. Data Protection and Privacy
7.1 Information Shared
To provide the International Payments Service, Float may share the following information with Currencycloud and other service providers:
- sender information;
- recipient information;
- transaction details; and
- KYB/KYC information required by applicable law.
7.2 Data Protection Roles
For data protection purposes:
- Float acts as a data controller of Customer personal information;
- Currencycloud acts as a data processor when processing information on Float’s instructions; and
- Currencycloud acts as an independent controller where required to meet its own legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering, sanctions compliance, fraud prevention, and financial crime detection.
7.3 Cross-Border Processing
Your information may be processed or stored outside Canada or the United States, including in jurisdictions where Currencycloud, Visa, or their service providers operate.
Float uses contractual and organizational safeguards designed to ensure that cross-border processing complies with applicable Canadian and U.S. privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and relevant U.S. state privacy laws.
7.4 Visa and Payment Network Processing
Currencycloud is a Visa-owned company. As a result, Visa Inc. and its affiliates may process certain transaction-related and technical information in connection with the operation of payment networks, fraud prevention, security, system integrity, analytics, and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.
Such processing is conducted by Visa acting as an independent data controller and is governed by Visa’s applicable privacy notices.
Float and its payment partners do not sell Customer personal information and do not use International Payments Service data for third-party advertising or marketing purposes.
By using the International Payments Service, you acknowledge and consent to the processing and disclosure of information as described in this Section as necessary to provide the service, operate payment networks, manage risk, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable law.
8. Security
Float and its payment partners maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information and funds, including encryption, access controls, monitoring, and industry-standard security practices.
9. Suspension and Availability
Float may suspend, limit, or terminate access to the International Payments Service, in whole or in part, without prior notice, where reasonably necessary to comply with law, regulation, sanctions requirements, fraud prevention controls, payment network rules, or risk-management obligations.
10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by:
- the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, if you are a Canadian business; or
- the laws of the applicable U.S. state designated by Float, if you are a United States business,
without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
11. Questions and Support
Questions regarding the International Payments Service or these Terms may be submitted through the Float platform or by contacting Float’s customer support at support@floatfinancial.com.
Float may update or change its customer support channels from time to time, and the availability of support does not create any service level commitment unless expressly agreed in writing.
