card reader and perform actions specified in the card
reader. If the contactless payment limit is exceeded, a
repeated validation of the transaction with the PIN Code

- swipe the Card in the card reader and sign the receipt
issued;
- insert the Card in the self-service card reader and perform
actions specified in the card reader without entering the
PIN Code (e. g. when paying a toll);
- when making payments in online outlets, enter the Card
details (e. g. first name, surname, number, term of
validity, CVC2/CVV2 Code);
- conclude an agreement with a seller of goods or services
either physically or at an online outlet, agree to
initiate payment transactions by debiting the Account, and
provide the Card details (e. g. first name, surname,
number, term of validity, CVC2/CVV2 Code);
- provide the Card details (e. g. first name, surname, number,
term of validity, CVC2/CVV2 Code) to a seller of goods or
services either physically or at an online outlet;
- make a payment using an electronic wallet (if it is
technically feasible to link the Card with Samsung Pay,
Google Pay or Apple Pay electronic wallet implemented in a
mobile phone) - by tapping your mobile phone or another
linked device over an electronic card reader. To validate
such a transaction, security features implemented in your
mobile phone or another linked device are used; they may
include biometric data (such as fingerprints or facial
features).
- Depending on the technical solutions applied by the goods
supplier/service provider and means of protection selected by
You, additional validation of the authorisation referred to
above may be required in the Online Banking System either
directly and/or through the mobile application (where possible)
by means of one of the identification tools specified during the
transaction or by 3D Secure. If, in our opinion, such protection
is indispensable, and if You do not use such protection, We may
refuse to execute the payment transaction.
- All the actions referred to above shall have the same legal
force as any document signed by you or the Order given in
writing.
- After validating a payment transaction by one of the actions
referred to above, You shall not be able to revoke it. You can
only revoke a transaction that is due to be executed in future
(e. g. service fee payable on a monthly basis), however, You
must give the goods supplier/service provider a 2 (two) business
days' notice prior to the end of the term for the execution of
transaction and inform Us if necessary. We shall not assume
liability for the revocation of such transactions.
- You shall assume liability for any consequences of giving Your
consent to (authorising) a payment transaction by the Card,
therefore:
- Prior to authorising, always check the details of the
payment transaction;
- Keep the document evidencing the transaction (e. g. a
receipt);
- Always authorise transactions personally, and in the case if
the Card details are read physically, make sure that this
is done in Your presence.

(unauthorised transaction), You must notify Us without delay in
the Online Banking System either directly or through the mobile
application (where possible) or by contacting Us by means of the
contact details specified on Our website.

the Card provided that You have informed Us about an improper or
unauthorised payment transaction with Your Card, concerning
which You are entitled to make a claim under the Agreement,
without delay but no later than within 13 (thirteen) months
after the funds' debiting date, and if you are a business client
- no later than within 60 (sixty) days.
-
6. Execution of Payment Transactions by Card
- Subject to authorisation referred to in Clause 5.1 above, the
payment transaction (settlement) is executed:
- By reserving the funds in the Account linked with the Card
and subsequently, on receipt of confirmation from the
payee, debiting the Account with the amount. We shall
cancel the reservation if We do not receive the
confirmation within 15 (fifteen) days. The fees specified
in the Standard Rates are not reserved as part of such
reservation; or
- By debiting the Account linked with the Card on receipt of
confirmation from the payee, without reservation. In such
a case the settlement may take place immediately after
Your authorisation or later.

negative as a result of the transactions with the Card, You are
obliged to cover such balance.
- We may refuse to execute a payment transaction by the Card if:
- there are not enough funds in the Account linked with the
Card for the execution of the transaction and for debiting
of the fee therefor;
- We have suspicions that the Card is being used unlawfully or
a breach of security has occurred;
- You fail to comply with the Agreement, other agreements or
additional arrangements concluded with us;
- We consider the payment transaction as suspicious;
- We cannot execute the transaction due to an error, fault,
updating work underway, or third-party actions or
omissions (e. g. We are unable to process the payment in
SEPA system).
- Where a payment transaction is not executed due to Our fault
(e. g. inaccurate payment details, closed account) and/or the
amount of the payment Order is returned to You, We shall not
assume liability therefor and shall not compensate You for
losses arising therefrom (e. g. no refund of the fees paid for
the transaction or expenses related to such refund).
- We shall not assume any liability if You were unable to use the
Card due to third-party actions or omissions, if You used the
Card unlawfully or in bad faith, or the goods/services purchased
by You with the Card are of poor quality, or the goods
seller/service provide did not enable You to pay by the Card or
did not give You a discount even though You were entitled to it,
or You have experienced any other inconvenience or loss due to
third-party actions.
-
7. Currency Exchange during Payment Transactions by Card
- You can make a payment with the Card (settle up) in any
currency, however, the Account linked with the Card shall be
debited in euros in all cases. The currency of the payment
transaction shall be converted into euros at the currency
exchange rate set by the relevant association the symbol of
which is on the Card (e. g. Visa Europe if a Visa Card has been
issued to You, or any other association) valid on the date of
processing of the transaction. A currency exchange fee may apply
if the Standard Rates provide for such a fee.
- If reservation of funds is applied to the payment made by the
Card, the currency exchange rate applied at reservation may
differ from that applied during the debiting of the Account.
- We shall not assume liability for any losses incurred by You in
relation to currency conversion or currency exchange rate
fluctuations.
-
8. Fees
- Fees for the issue, updating, servicing and executing payment
transactions with the Card and/or related actions shall be paid
at the rates specified in the Standard Rates, and such fees
shall be automatically debited from the Account related to the
Card. You must ensure that the Account always has a sufficient
balance for the payment of such fees.
- The Account shall be debited with such fees at the time of
payment depending on the transaction, either together or
separately from the transaction, either at the same time or
later.
- Where a fee for the use of the Card is applied, the Account
linked with the Card shall be debited on a monthly basis, on a
date selected by us, for the past month.
- The fees specified in the Standard Rates shall be paid in the
currency specified therein.
- If the Account linked with the Card does not have enough funds
for the debiting of the fees, they may be debited from any other
Account held by You.

goods sellers/service providers, internet providers, owners of
relevant equipment etc. and We shall not assume any liability
for such fees.
-

- You shall be obliged to safeguard the Card and all the related
personalised security features (such as the PIN Code, log-in

with the Card, Your conduct shall be deemed to be gross
negligence and You shall assume full liability therefor, and We
shall not compensate You for any losses arising therefrom.
- If You use the Contactless Payment Functionality (where
