Payments

6.1 General

6.1.1 Your Core Terms explain the different ways you can pay money into your account or take money out of your account.

6.1.2 Terms 6.2 to 6.4 below set out a payment service that is specific to Mobile Banking and is therefore not included in your Core Terms.

6.1.3 Unless Term 6.4 applies, when you make a payment through Mobile Banking we’ll make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. If we can’t use the Faster Payments Service we’ll advise you of alternative ways to make the payment.

6.2 Pay Your Contacts (General)

6.2.1 Pay Your Contacts is a service within the App, which allows you to send money to a third party by using the payee's mobile phone number rather than their account number and sort code.

6.2.2 You can use this service to make payments to:

• anyone who has registered to use a NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank Northern Ireland or Isle of Man Bank Mobile Banking App (the Group Apps);
  
• anyone who has registered for Paym (which is a service offered by a number of banks and building societies to allow you to send and receive payments in this way);
• any other person who has not registered to use one of the Group Apps or Paym as long as they have a UK Visa debit card, Visa credit card, or Visa pre-paid card which is eligible to receive third party payments.

6.2.3 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:

• the mobile phone number of the payee. (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
• the amount of the payment in Sterling.
  

You're responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

6.2.4 Once you've asked us to make a payment you won't be able to cancel it. If you realise that you've given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must inform us as soon as possible by contacting us on 0345 366 7004 or +44 2381 244182 from outside the UK. Where possible we'll try to stop the payment, but might not be able to do so. We'll not be liable to you if we're unable to stop a payment in these circumstances.

6.2.5 We'll notify you within the App if we're unable to make a payment.

6.2.6 There's a daily limit and an individual transaction limit on payments sent using Pay Your Contacts. Details of these limits can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the App.

6.3 Pay Your Contacts (Registered Payees)

6.3.1 You may ask us to make a payment to someone who is registered to use one of the Group Apps or Paym (a Registered Payee). When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.

6.3.2 If the payee is registered to use one of the Group Apps as well as Paym, we'll send the payment to one of the accounts linked to their Group App.

6.3.3 If the payee is not registered to use one of the Group Apps but is registered for Paym, we'll send the payment to the account they've registered for Paym.

6.4 Pay Your Contacts (Non-Registered Payees) 

6.4.1 You may ask us to make a payment to someone who isn’t registered to use one of the Group Apps or Paym (a Non-Registered Payee) provided they have a UK Visa debit card, Visa credit card, or Visa pre-paid card which is eligible to receive third party payments.

6.4.2 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered Payee, we’ll work in partnership with Visa to process your instruction as follows:

• Visa will send a text message to the payee on our behalf informing them that you wish to make a payment to them. For security reasons Visa won’t state the amount of the payment in this text message. It’s your responsibility to provide the payee with this information. 
  
• To collect the payment, the payee must visit the Visa collections website referred to in the text message and provide their card details as well as the amount of the payment. When the payee provides this information they initiate the payment transaction and Visa will process the payment on our behalf.
• The payee will have up to seven days from the day Visa send the text message to collect the payment. After the collection period has expired the payment request will no longer be valid and you’ll have to make a fresh payment request if you still wish to make the payment. 

6.4.3 If the payment is collected it’ll be added to the payee's account by the end of the next business day after the payee enters their information on the Visa collections website. (For example, if the payee enters their details on Friday, the money will be added to their account by the end of the day on Monday). If the payment isn’t collected you’ll be sent a text message to let you know, and you’ll have to make a fresh payment request if you still wish to make the payment.

Charges

7. We don't currently charge you for Mobile Banking. However, your mobile phone network operator may charge you when using Mobile Banking and these charges may vary if you use your mobile phone to access Mobile Banking when abroad.

Our liability

8. We won't be liable to refund you for any losses caused by circumstances beyond our control (i.e. the situation was abnormal or unforeseeable), for example, due to extreme weather, terrorist activity or industrial action.

Variation / Termination

9.1 You're free to cancel Mobile Banking at any time. If you'd like to do this, please call us on calling us on 0345 366 7004 or +44 2381 244182 from outside the UK and delete the App from you mobile device(s).

9.2 If you haven't used the App for 6 months your Mobile Banking access will be deactivated automatically and you'll have to re-register in order to use Mobile Banking again.

9.3 We may suspend, withdraw or restrict the use of Mobile Banking or any part of it where:

• we reasonably suspect that your security details haven't been kept secret;
  
• we reasonably suspect that your security details have been used fraudulently or without your permission;
  
• as a result of a change in the way you operate your account or in your financial circumstances, we reasonably believe that you may have difficulty in meeting your commitments;
  
• we believe it's appropriate in order to protect your account(s);
  
• you've broken any of the Licence Terms set out below.

We'll tell you before taking any of these steps and we'll explain why we've done so, unless we're unable to contact you or there's a legal reason or other circumstance beyond our control that stops us from doing so. If we can't get hold of you beforehand, we'll (where possible) tell you and explain our reasons afterwards.

9.4 If we have a valid reason for doing so, we may change the terms of our agreement with you (which may include introducing charges for Mobile Banking or making changes to those charges) by giving you at least 60 days’ notice before the change takes effect. We’ll assume that you’ve accepted the change unless you uninstall the App or tell us that you’d like to cancel Mobile Banking before the change takes effect.
