Tips to avoid ATM fees:

  1. Visit any MoneyPass Network ATM in the U.S. ("in-network ATM") to avoid paying a fee assessed by the ATM owner ("surcharge fee"). ATM Cash Withdrawal Fee and Balance Inquiry Fee may apply. Visit your OAC for a list of in-network ATMs.
  2. Select "DEBIT" and enter your PIN to get cash back when making purchases at many retailers, such as grocery stores.
  3. If you do not visit an in-network ATM ("out-of-network ATM"), the institution that owns the terminal (or network) associated with the out-of-network ATM may assess a surcharge fee at the time of your transaction in addition to the other fees contained in this Fee Schedule.

  2. ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

    Your Account is a demand deposit account ("DDA"). Transfers made to or from the Account may be made electronically or through other methods made available by us. The Account is not a prepaid account or a credit product. This Account is not designated for business use, and we may close your Account if we determine that it is being used for business purposes. We may close your Account or refuse to process any transaction involving your Account that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement or represents illegal or fraudulent activity. When we receive funds that you deposit to your Account, the funds are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), subject to applicable limitations and restrictions of such insurance. You may not use your Account for any illegal transactions or any activity prohibited by this Agreement.

    You agree to pay the charges as shown on the Fee Schedule. We will deduct the charges directly from your Account when you incur them. We will not be liable for dishonor of any Item resulting from our deduction of any charges as authorized by this Agreement. Fees assessed to your Account may bring your Available and/or Actual Balance negative. Any time your Available and/or Actual Balance is less than the fee amount assessed to your Account or your Available and/or Actual Balance is already negative, the assessment of the fee may result in a negative Available and/or Actual Balance on your Account or increase the negative Available and/or Actual Balance on your Account, as applicable. If that occurs, any subsequent deposits to your Account will first be applied to the negative Available and/or Actual Balance.

    Your Account does not offer a check-writing feature. You may not write checks on your Account or order checks for your Account from the Bank. Any transactions to your Account that involve a check drawn on your Account, including written checks, check by phone, or third-party authorizations that come through as a check, will not be honored. However, you may have access to a preauthorized check feature made available by a third party. Please visit the OAC or Mobile App for more information about this feature. When providing account and routing numbers to merchants to make a payment (whether in person, electronically, or over the phone) you need to ensure that the merchant is using the ACH system to process the transaction as an electronic debit, as ACH is an accepted form of payment for your Account. If the merchant processes a payment as a check, the check may be rejected and not paid. The merchant may charge a fee if this happens. You may not use your Card number or your Account number and our routing number in connection with the creation and/or negotiation of any financial instruments, such as checks, which we have not authorized.

  3. GETTING STARTED
    1. Verification Process

      4. We may, through the OAC, Mobile App, or otherwise, offer you additional ways to transfer funds to your Account from time to time, and any terms, fees, or limits applicable to any of these methods will be disclosed to you at the time they are offered to you.
    3. Funds Availability Policy
      1. The availability of your deposit varies, depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. Availability or use of funds deposited to the Account may be delayed or denied in the event of technology malfunctions or pursuant to our compliance with or discharge of legal or regulatory responsibilities, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
      2. We may accept, pay, certify, or charge Items to your Account in the order we choose. Even if we provisionally post Items to your Account during the day, we may treat them as if we received all of them at the end of the day.
        1. Generally, your deposits and withdrawals are processed as follows:
          1. Unless manual review is needed, Direct Deposits and any other ACH credits are added to your Available and Actual Balance at the time we receive and process the applicable ACH file or at the time we receive pending deposits that are immediately available for your use. You may arrange to have funds transferred by ACH to your Account by your employer or other appropriate payor. In case of transmission error, or transfer irregularity, your ability to withdraw funds may be delayed. If this occurs, then funds will generally be available within five (5) Business Days after we receive the deposit.
          2. ACH debits are deducted from your Available and Actual Balance in the order of lowest to highest dollar amount if multiple ACH debits with the same effective date are present in a single ACH file that we process or if multiple ACH debits are received with an effective date in the future. ACH debits that exceed your Actual Balance at 8:00 p.m. Central Time will be returned.
          3. Transactions received during the day are processed as they occur. PIN or signature debit card transactions, including any applicable transaction fees, received during the day are debited from your Available Balance as they occur if there is a sufficient Available Balance in the Account to pay them. Please note: Your Available Balance may not reflect every transaction you have initiated or previously authorized (e.g., preauthorized debit transaction holds that are later released). Your Actual Balance reflects all transactions that have settled.
          4. Fees for services we provide that have not already been debited from your Account are deducted from your Available and Actual Balance.
          5. Funds sent to us through eligible third-party service providers offering Mobile Check Services, funds transfer services, or Cash Transfer services (i.e., retail reload). Generally, funds that we receive from you through one of these eligible third-party service providers will be available to you within one (1) hour from the time we receive and process them from the third-party service provider. Please see the applicable third-party service provider’s terms of service for information about their processing and transmission timeframes.
          6. Other Types of Deposits. Funds availability rules for other types of deposits will be disclosed to you at the time those other deposit options are offered to you.

    Note that after we make funds available to you, and you have spent, sent, or withdrawn all or a portion of the funds, you are still responsible for any problems involving your deposit. If you have arranged to have Direct Deposits made to your Account, you may call us at 1-866-647-6929 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made. There may be a fee associated with calling Customer Service. For information about the fee, see the Fee Schedule above.

  5. USING YOUR ACCOUNT
    1. Accessing Funds and Limitations Each time you use your Card or another permitted method to access funds in your Account, the Available Balance in your Account will be reduced by the amount of the transaction and applicable fees. Generally, you may not exceed the Available Balance in your Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions – unless we decide, in our sole discretion, to approve such transaction(s) because you have (a) qualified for Purchase Cushion coverage or (b) opted to participate in and have qualified for the Debit Card Overdraft Service. If you do not qualify for either the Purchase Cushion or the Overdraft Service (each defined in more detail below), and any transaction(s) exceeds the balance of the funds available in your Account, you will remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction(s) and any corresponding transaction fee(s) and agree to pay us promptly for the negative balance. If your Account has a negative balance, any deposits will be used to offset the negative balance. We may also, to the extent permitted by applicable law, use any deposit or balance on another account you have with us to offset a negative balance in your Account. If you have not deposited sufficient funds to your Account to cover the negative balance within sixty (60) days of its creation, we may close your Account. Additionally, we have the right to pursue collection, including the right to collect funds, equal to or less than the negative balance, from any other account(s) you may have with us. If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. The following types of electronic funds transfers are available on your Account:
      1. ACH Transfers. You may provide another party the ability to initiate transfers to or from your Account (on a one-time or recurring basis) through an ACH transaction. If you authorize the party initiating the withdrawal or deposit with advance authorization to make recurring ACH transfers to or from your Account, the transfers are referred to as "preauthorized transfers".
      2. Preauthorized Credits/Debits. We accept, on your behalf, preauthorized credits and debits to your Account. You may also arrange for recurring payments to merchants and other parties using bill pay services made available through eligible third-party bill payment service providers. We may conduct these transactions via ACH transfer. Each of these services has unique fees associated with the transaction – please see the Fee Schedule above. When you provide the party initiating the withdrawal or deposit with advance authorization to make recurring ACH transfers to or from your Account, the transfers are referred to as "preauthorized transfers." Because these preauthorized transfers are performed electronically through the ACH, they are governed by federal regulations pertaining to EFT services. These regulations entitle you to certain benefits and protections in connection with the EFT services, such as the right to receive a copy of your written authorization to debit your Account from the party that obtains it.
      3. Card Transactions. Any Card issued by us to you remains our property and must be surrendered upon demand. To guard against someone initiating a transaction that you have not authorized, you must take all reasonable precautions to prevent any other person from learning your PIN. If you permit or authorize another person or entity to use your Card or PIN, you may be liable for all resulting transactions and fees incurred. You must notify us to revoke permission for any person or entity you previously authorized to use your Card, Card Number, or PIN. If you notify us to cancel another’s use of your Card, Card Number, or PIN, we may cancel your Card and issue a new Card to you with a different number.
        1. Cash Access. With your PIN, you may use your Card to obtain cash from any ATM or any Point-of-Sale ("POS") device, if and as permitted by the relevant merchant, bearing an acceptance mark displayed on the Card. ATM transactions are treated as cash withdrawal transactions. You may also obtain your Available Balance through certain ATMs. A fee may be associated with the use of your Card to obtain cash or Available Balance information. For information about these fees, please see the Fee Schedule above. In addition, some or all transactions may be subject to a surcharge assessed by the terminal owner. Any cash withdrawn through an ATM or POS device transaction, or through a participating bank, will be subject to the limitations set forth in the section below labeled "Limits." Cash withdrawals are available up to the daily authorization limits disclosed below, provided the Available Balance in your Account is greater than or equal to the amount requested plus any fees that may be charged along with the cash withdrawal. Cash withdrawals may also be subject to varying daily limits at the terminal owner’s discretion. If you use your Card and PIN to obtain Available Balance information through an ATM, please note that the Available Balance information provided may not reflect recent transactions and may include funds that are not available for immediate withdrawal.
        2. Purchase Transactions. You may use your Card to purchase goods and services from merchants that accept Cards bearing an acceptance mark displayed on the Card as a method of payment. If you do not have enough funds available in your Account to cover the total amount of a purchase transaction, you can instruct the merchant to charge a part of the purchase to your Card and pay the remaining amount with cash or another payment method. These transactions are called "split transactions." Some merchants do not allow customers to conduct split transactions. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available in your Account to the Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping your Card, your Card is likely to be declined.
          1. If you use your Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. Any preauthorized amount will result in the placement of a "hold" on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed. If we do not receive the final payment amount, the preauthorized amount on hold will remain in place for thirty (30) days. During a hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount. You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction initiated by use of your Card, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to complete the transaction, the approval may result in a hold. If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser ("pay at the pump"), the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount up to $100.00 or more. If your Card is declined, even though you have sufficient funds available, you should pay for your purchase inside with the cashier.
          2. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card or Account, you agree to accept credits to your Account for such refunds and agree to the refund policy of the relevant merchant. Merchant refunds in an amount the same as or less than the amount of the corresponding debit will post to your Account when they are received. We have no control over when a merchant sends a refund transaction; there may be a delay between the date of the refund transaction and the date the refund amount is credited to your Account. We are not responsible in any way for any goods or services you decide to purchase, including, without limitation, their quality, safety, legality, or delivery. We will not become involved in any dispute involving such goods or services. If you have a problem with a purchase that you made with your Card, or if you have a dispute with the merchant, you must attempt to handle it directly with the merchant. You also agree to release us and our respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, and damages between persons using and accepting the Card associated with your Account, including any claims, demands, or damages arising out of or related to the purchase or sale of goods or services.
          3. We are not responsible in any way for any goods or services you decide to purchase, including, without limitation, their quality, safety, legality, or delivery. We will not become involved in any dispute involving such goods or services. You also agree to release us and our respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, and damages between persons using and accepting the Cards issued to you, including any claims, demands, or damages arising out of or related to the purchase or sale of goods or services.
      4. Transfers to Your Other Accounts. You may transfer funds to an optional linked Savings Account ("Savings Account"). Separate terms and conditions apply to the Savings Account; see the OAC or Mobile App for additional information. You may also direct that funds be transferred from your Account to other accounts you own and hold with us or certain other financial institutions by using a transfer option available in the OAC or Mobile App; see the OAC or Mobile App for additional information.
      5. Transfers to Third Parties. You may transfer funds from your Account to third-party accounts or persons by using a transfer option available in the OAC or Mobile App. Once the transfer has occurred, it is irrevocable.

    3. Foreign Transactions If you make a purchase or obtain cash using your Card in a currency other than U.S. dollars or a country other than the U.S. ("Foreign Transaction"), the amount deducted from your Account will be converted by the network or card association that processes the transaction into an amount in the currency of your Account. The rate they choose is either: (i) selected from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets (which may vary from the rate the association itself receives) or (ii) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The conversion rate selected by the network is independent of any fee that we charge as compensation for our services. You will be charged a fee for Foreign Transactions in U.S. dollars as disclosed in the Fee Schedule. Fees may be assessed for transactions conducted in U.S. territories. If a Foreign Transaction results in a credit due to a return, we will not refund any Foreign Transaction Fee that may have been charged on your original purchase.
    4. Preauthorized Transfers
      1. Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your Account, you can stop any of these payments. Here’s how: Call or write us with the Customer Service information above in time for us to receive your request at least three (3) Business Days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you tell us you want to stop such payments. There may be a fee associated with each stop payment order you give. For information about the fee, please see the Fee Schedule. To stop a recurring payment to a merchant you have preauthorized to debit your Account, you may also contact the merchant to request that the recurring payment be cancelled. If you have arranged for recurring payments to a merchant using the bill pay services available through an eligible third-party service provider, you should first contact the applicable third-party service provider to cancel the recurring payment.
      2. Notice of varying amounts. If these regular payments vary in amount, the person you are going to pay is required to tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
      3. Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments three Business Days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
    5. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions If we do not complete a transaction to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses and damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
      1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in your Account to complete the transaction;
      2. If a merchant refuses to accept your Card;
      3. If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
      4. If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
      5. If access to your Account has been blocked after you reported your Card, PIN, or other Access Device lost or stolen;
      6. If there is a hold or your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
      7. If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
      8. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer or communications failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken;
      9. In the case of preauthorized credits, the data from the third party is not received, is incomplete, or is erroneous; or
      10. For any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
  6. CONFIDENTIALITY

    We may disclose information to third parties about your Account or the transactions you make:

    1. Where it is necessary for completing transactions;
    2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your Account for a third party, such as a merchant;
    3. In order to comply with government agency or court orders, or other legal reporting requirements;
    4. If you give us your written permission;
    5. To our employees, auditors, affiliates, service providers, or attorneys as needed; or
    6. As otherwise necessary to fulfill our obligations under this Agreement.
  7. DOCUMENTATION
    1. Periodic Statements You will be able to review Account transactions and Account statements through the OAC. You should review your transaction history regularly to protect your rights, including your right to dispute transactions that you believe are unauthorized. We will send you an email that your Account statement is available on the OAC, and the Account statement shall be deemed received on the date that it is posted to the OAC. Periodic statements will be available for each monthly cycle in which an EFT occurs. If no EFT has occurred, a periodic statement will be provided at least quarterly. If your Account is dormant, we may stop sending you Account statement emails, posting statements to the OAC, or both (see the "Unclaimed Property – Accounts Presumed Dormant or Abandoned" section for more details on inactive Accounts).
    2. Receipts You can get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your Account using an ATM or point-of-sale terminals. You may need a receipt in order to verify a transaction with us or the merchant.
  8. TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS DISCLOSURES
    1. Rate Information: There is no interest rate on your Account, and your annual percentage yield is zero (0.00%).
    2. Balance Information Minimum Balance Requirements: No minimum balance is required to open or maintain an Account, avoid the imposition of any fees, or obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield.
    3. Fees: Fees apply to this Account. Please refer to the Fee Schedule at the start of this Agreement for a complete listing of the fees applicable to this Account.
  9. LOST OR STOLEN CARDS; UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS
    1. Contact Customer Service Immediately If you believe your Card, PIN, or Access Device has been lost or stolen, contact Customer Service. You should also call or write to Customer Service if you believe a transfer has been made without your permission.
    2. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or Access Device has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic funds transfer has been made without your permission. Calling Customer Service is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Account. If you tell us within 2 Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or Access Device, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Card, Account, or Access Device without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or Access Device, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Card, Account, or Access Device without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. If your Card, PIN, or Access Device has been lost or stolen, we will deactivate your Card or Access Device, as applicable, and issue you a new one to keep losses down. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by your Card or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the FIRST Account statement on which the transfer appeared was sent (or delivered through the OAC), you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods for a reasonable period.
    3. In case of errors or questions about your Electronic Transfers Call Customer Service, write to Customer Service, or email us at customerservice@netspend.com as soon as you can if you think your Account statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent (or delivered through the OAC) you the first statement on which the problem or error appears. You will need to tell us:
      1. Your name and Card or Account number;
      2. A description of the error or the transaction you are unsure about;
      3. An explanation of why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and
      4. The dollar amount of the suspected error.

      If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may not credit your Account. For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 Business Days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation. If you have any further questions regarding our error resolution procedures, please contact Customer Service.

    4. Your Liability for Unauthorized Visa or Mastercard Transactions If your Card bears the Mastercard acceptance mark, under Mastercard’s Zero Liability Policy, your liability for unauthorized transactions using your Card is $0.00 if you notify us promptly upon becoming aware of the loss or theft, and you exercise reasonable care in safeguarding your Card from loss, theft, or unauthorized use. These provisions limiting your liability do not apply to debit transactions not processed by Mastercard. If your Card bears the Visa acceptance mark, under Visa’s Zero Liability Policy, your liability for unauthorized transactions on using your Card is $0.00 if you notify us immediately and are not negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card. These provisions limiting your liability do not apply to debit transactions not processed by Visa or foreign ATM withdrawals.
  10. ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
    1. Personal Identification Number ("PIN") You will select a Personalized Identification Number ("PIN") when you activate your Card. You should not write or keep your PIN with your Card. Never share your PIN with anyone and do not enter your PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious. If you believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you should advise us immediately, following the procedures in this Agreement.
    2. Card Replacement and Expiration If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact Customer Service (fees may apply; see the Fee Schedule). You will be required to provide personal information which may include your Card number, full name, transaction history, and similar information to help us verify your identity. Please see the Fee Schedule for any applicable fees to replace your Card. Please note that your Card has a "Valid Thru" date on the front of the Card. You may not use the Card after the "Valid Thru" date on the front of your Card. You will not be charged a fee for replacement Cards that we send due to expiration of the Card.
    3. Additional Cards/Authorized Users The Account may only be owned and titled in the name of one individual. Account ownership is nontransferable. The Account cannot be owned or titled jointly, by an organization, as "Payable on Death" or "In Trust For." You may not permit another person to have access to your Card or Account. If you do provide access to your Card or Account, you are liable for all transactions conducted using the Card and any additional Card or the Account. You are wholly responsible for the use of each Card and Account according to the terms of this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law.
    4. Communications You agree that we may monitor and record any calls or other communications between us and you. You also agree that we or our service providers may contact you with any contact information you provide to us, including cellular and wireless phone numbers, landline numbers, and email addresses. You also agree that we or our service providers may contact you by using an automated dialing or email system, by text, or artificial or recorded voice. You agree to pay any service charges assessed by your plan provider for communications we send or make to you or that you send or make to us.
    5. Change of Address You are responsible for notifying us immediately upon any change to your address or email address. If your address changes to a non-U.S. address, we may close your Account and return funds to you in accordance with this Agreement. You are responsible for notifying us of any change in your physical address, mailing address, email address, phone number, or your name, no later than two (2) weeks after said change. We will attempt to communicate with you only by use of the most recent contact information you have provided to us. You agree that any notice or communication sent to you at an address noted in our records shall be effective unless we have received an address change notice from you with reasonable time to act upon it. We cannot accept responsibility for any email messages not received by you, or for any delay in the receipt or delivery of any email notifications. If you make your email account available to any other individual, you agree that you are responsible for any release of any Account information to such individual. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the email address you provide to us is current and accurate. We are not responsible for loss of messages and other consequences if you do not provide an accurate and current email address.
    6. Unclaimed Property – Accounts Presumed Inactive or Abandoned. For security reasons, we may refuse a withdrawal or transfer from Accounts we internally classify as dormant if we cannot reach you in a timely fashion to confirm the transaction’s authorization. Your Account is dormant if your Account has not had any activity, that is, no purchases; no cash withdrawals; no deposits; or no balance inquiry fees, for three hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive days. We may transfer (escheat) your property to the appropriate state if no activity occurs in the Account or you fail to communicate with us regarding your Account within the time period specified by state law. We may consider an Account inactive even if you maintain another active account with us. We may impose a fee for sending a dormant Account notice to you prior to transferring the funds to the state. If funds are transferred to the state, you may file a claim with the state to recover the funds. We will have no further liability to you for such funds. When the funds in your Account are delivered to the state, your Account is closed. We encourage you to make sure your Account remains active, so you have full use of your Account, and avoid the potential of having your Account funds transferred to the state as "abandoned or unclaimed property."
  11. OPTIONAL FEATURES AND SERVICES
    1. Purchase Cushion The Purchase Cushion is a special feature available exclusively to Accountholders who have received qualifying Direct Deposits of paychecks and/or government benefits payments totaling at least five hundred dollars ($500.00) within one (1) calendar month. If you have these qualifying Direct Deposits, the Purchase Cushion feature will be available for as long as the Account remains open and in good standing. Qualifying for Purchase Cushion is a one-time requirement.
      1. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PURCHASE CUSHION You generally do not have the right to make transactions or incur fees in amounts exceeding the Available Balance of your Account. We reserve the right to deny any transaction if available funds in your Account are insufficient to cover any transaction, fees, or other charges. However, as a non-contractual courtesy, and in our sole discretion, upon qualifying for the Purchase Cushion, we may authorize one-time (non-recurring) PIN- and signature-based purchase transactions that you request that create up to a $10.00 negative Available Balance in your Account. We refer to this feature as the "Purchase Cushion."
      2. Fees: You will not be assessed any fees for Purchase Cushion coverage. If you meet our eligibility requirements, we may authorize negative Available Balances resulting from one-time PIN and signature-based purchase transactions initiated using your Card. No other Account transactions are eligible for Purchase Cushion coverage.
      3. Terms of Use: It is important to keep track of the Available Balance in your Account because it will be your responsibility to determine if we authorized Purchase Cushion coverage. If you conduct a transaction that creates a negative Actual Balance in your Account, you agree that within thirty (30) days of its creation you will add sufficient funds to your Account to cover the negative balance so that your Account has at least a zero or positive balance, or that you will otherwise immediately pay such an amount to us in full upon demand. If after thirty (30) days you have not added sufficient funds to cover your negative Actual Balance, your Account will remain open to receive credits and deposits, which will automatically be applied to your negative Actual Balance before they are available to you; however, you will not be able to conduct any transactions using your Account, including any Card transactions, until your Account has a positive Actual Balance (i.e., sufficient funds to cover the negative balance). Furthermore, we have the right to pursue collection, including the right to collect funds, equal to or less than the negative Actual balance, from any other Account(s) you may have with us. In all instances described above, funds added to your Account may be made via Direct Deposit or any of the other methods described in this Agreement. In the event your Account is closed, or you voluntarily discontinue use of your Account, you will remain responsible for the negative Actual Balance in your Account and agree that any credits or deposits to your Account will be applied to offset any negative balance. You acknowledge that a negative Actual or Available Balance in your Account does not constitute a contractual open end line of credit. If we permit a negative Actual or Available Balance on one or more occasions, we do not thereby obligate ourselves to permit a negative Actual or Available balance on any future occasion, and we may refuse to permit a negative Actual or Available Balance for you at any time, even though we may have previously permitted negative Actual or Available Balances up to the $10.00 limit for you. We have no obligation to notify you before we authorize or decline a transaction that would result in a negative Actual or Available Balance in your Account. Items will generally be processed in the manner described in the section above labeled "Funds Availability Policy."
    2. Debit Card Overdraft Service Your Account includes access to the optional Debit Card Overdraft Service as described below. IMPORTANT: The Purchase Cushion and the Debit Card Overdraft Service are SEPARATE features. You may NOT receive the benefits of the Purchase Cushion and the Debit Card Overdraft Service at the same time.
      1. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OVERDRAFT AND OVERDRAFT FEES You generally do not have the right to make transactions in amounts exceeding the Actual Balance of your Account ("Overdraft"); however, as a non-contractual courtesy, the optional Debit Card Overdraft Service ("Service") is available on your Account if you elect to participate (i.e., "opt in"), and you have met each of the activation and eligibility requirements described below. In the event you qualify and opt in to the Service, we may authorize you to conduct one-time PIN- and signature-based purchase transactions and ATM withdrawals and incur fees that exceed the Available Balance of your Account, subject to the applicable fees and limitations described herein, and we reserve the right to pay Overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do not authorize the transaction, it will be declined. We may suspend or deactivate your use of the Service at any time, including if you incur too many Overdrafts. If you choose to participate in the Service, it is that Service only that will provide coverage, at our discretion, for Overdrafts. If you opt out of the Service or your participation in the Service ends or is suspended for any reason, and you have continuously used and maintained your Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Cushion feature may be made available to you at our discretion (see the "Purchase Cushion" section for more information).
        1. Activation and Eligibility: To activate the Service on your Account, you must take each of the following steps:
          1. Review and accept the terms pertaining to the Service;
          2. Enroll in the Service (i.e., opt in) by visiting www.netspendallaccess.com or by calling 1-866-647-6929;
          3. Have a positive Actual Balance at the time of Service activation; and
          4. Receive Direct Deposits totaling at least four hundred dollars ($400.00) to your Account within thirty-five (35) days of enrollment in the Service (deposits made prior to enrollment will be taken into consideration for meeting the $400.00 requirement). The Service will be activated on your Account within twenty-four (24) hours after you satisfy each of the steps above. After activation of the Service, you must continue to receive Direct Deposits to your Account totaling at least two hundred dollars ($200.00) every thirty (30) days.
        2. Terms of Use: If you have enrolled in the Service and meet our eligibility requirements, we may authorize and pay Overdrafts resulting from one-time PIN- and signature-based purchase transactions initiated using your Card and ATM withdrawals. Other non-network debit funds transfer services, such as ACH debit transactions and those initiated through third-party bill pay service providers, are not eligible for coverage. It is important to keep track of the Available Balance in your Account because it will be your responsibility to determine if you have overdrawn your Account, the day and time the Overdraft occurred, and the amount of any Overdraft that is authorized. You agree that within thirty (30) days of any Overdraft occurrence on your Account you will add sufficient funds to bring your Account back to a zero or positive Actual Balance, or that you will otherwise immediately pay such amount(s) to us in full upon demand. You acknowledge that your participation in the Service and the settlement by us of any Overdraft transactions does not constitute a contractual open-end line of credit. Our authorization or settlement of any Overdraft transaction on one or more occasions does not obligate us to authorize or settle future transactions. We may refuse the authorization or settlement of any Overdraft transaction for you at any time. We have no obligation to notify you before we authorize or decline a transaction that would result in an Overdraft in your Account. If you fail to receive Direct Deposits totaling at least two hundred dollars ($200.00) every thirty (30) days after Service activation, the Service will be suspended until you opt-in to the Service and meet all the eligibility requirements. If your Account has a negative Actual Balance for more than thirty (30) days on three separate occasions or on any one occasion for more than sixty (60) days, the Service will be suspended for one hundred eighty (180) days and you must meet all initial eligibility requirements prior to reenrolling. If your Account has a negative Actual Balance for more than one hundred eighty (180) days, the Service will be suspended and may not be enabled for one hundred eighty (180) days from the date you cure your negative Actual Balance and meet all initial eligibility requirements. If you overuse or abuse the Service (as determined in our sole discretion), we may suspend the service temporarily or permanently. We have the right to pursue collection of any amounts owed at our sole and absolute discretion. If we have suspended the Service, your Account will remain open to receive credits and deposits, which will automatically be applied to your negative Actual Balance before they are available to you; however, you will not be able to conduct any debit and spend transactions using your Account, until your Account has a positive Actual Balance (i.e., sufficient funds to cover the negative Actual Balance).
        3. Fees: Your participation in the Service is subject to the terms of this Agreement and, by using the Service, you may incur fees. The fees for the Service are described here, and in the Fee Schedule above. The Overdraft Fee is applied to certain transactions that result in a negative Available Balance at the time of the transaction and is in addition to any other fees ordinarily applicable to a transaction on your Account as disclosed in your Agreement. A transaction may incur an Overdraft Fee even though your Actual Balance is positive, but your Available Balance is negative, at the time the transaction settles, as previously authorized transactions may later settle and bring your Actual Balance negative. For the first Overdraft transaction that settles and creates a negative Actual Balance greater than ten dollars ($10.00), you will have twenty-four (24) hours to add sufficient funds to your Account to bring your Account back to a zero or positive Actual Balance to avoid incurring any Overdraft Fee(s) ("Grace Period"). If you fail to do so, you will incur an Overdraft Fee for each transaction settled after your Actual Balance was greater than ten dollars ($10.00) overdrawn, subject to the limitations set forth herein. If you bring your Account back to a zero or positive Actual Balance during the Grace Period, you will avoid incurring Overdraft Fees for each transaction settled after your Actual Balance was greater than ten dollars ($10.00) and the Grace Period will reset.

          Fee associated with the Service

          Overdraft Fee

          $20.00

          Maximum of five (5) Overdraft Fees per calendar month.

          Maximum of forty-five (45) Overdraft Fees per Annual Period.

          Multiple Overdraft Fees may be charged if multiple Overdraft transactions are authorized on the same day. Only transactions that result in a negative Available Balance when authorized may be subject to the fee. Transactions are not always processed in the order in which you make them. The order in which the transactions are received and processed can affect the balance of funds available in your Account and the total amount of Overdraft Fees assessed to your Account (see the "Funds Availability Policy" section for more information).

          We will send an email notification to your email address as reflected in our records (and an SMS text message if you are enrolled in text alerts; message and data rates may apply) when an Overdraft occurs. We will tell you where and when the transaction occurred and its amount. If the Overdraft was the first transaction to cause your Actual Balance to be overdrawn by more than ten dollars ($10.00), we will also tell you when the Grace Period ends for purposes of avoiding payment of the Overdraft Fee(s).

          There is a limit of forty-five (45) Overdraft Fees that we may charge you per Annual Period ("Annual Overdraft Fee Cap"). If you reach the Annual Overdraft Fee Cap prior to the end of the Annual Period, the Service will be suspended until the end of the applicable Annual Period at which time it will be reactivated if you have met all of the ongoing eligibility requirements noted above.

        4. Exclusions: Non-network debit funds transfer services, such as ACH debit transactions and those initiated through third-party bill pay service providers, are not eligible for coverage.
        5. Notifications: We will send you email notifications to the email address we have for you on file when (1) you opt in or opt out of the Service; (2) a transaction results in a negative Available or Actual Balance in your Account; (3) an Overdraft Fee is assessed (if applicable); and (4) the Service is activated or deactivated on your Account. We may also send other email notifications about the Service from time to time. We are not responsible for loss of messages and other consequences if you do not provide an accurate and current email address (see the "Change of Address" section for more information). The Service is offered in our sole and absolute discretion, and as such, we may elect to deactivate the Service at any time, refuse to authorize any transaction that exceeds your Available Balance, modify eligibility or activation requirements, and/or modify or change the Overdraft Fee, limits, or any other aspect of the Service. We will send you a notice of changes to this Service as required by law or regulation.
        6. Opt Out: Once you have opted in to the Service, you may opt out at any time online or by calling 1-866-647-6929. Should you choose to opt out of the Service, you remain responsible for any negative Actual Balance(s) on your Account and agree that any deposits made to your Account will be used to offset the value of the negative Actual Balance(s), if any.

    3. Disclaimer of Warranties EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO YOU, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING OUR SERVICES OR ANY FINANCIAL SERVICE OR RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

    6. Legal Process Regardless of where or how we are served, we may comply with any state or federal legal process, including, without limitation, any writ of attachment, adverse claim, execution, garnishment, tax levy, restraining order, subpoena, or warrant relating to you or your Account which we believe to be valid. You agree that we may honor legal process that is served personally, by mail, or by facsimile transmission at any of our offices (including locations other than where the funds, records, or property sought is held), even if the law requires personal delivery at the office where your Account or records are maintained. You agree that we will have no liability to you for honoring any such legal process. You also agree that we will have no obligation to assert on your behalf any applicable exemptions to execution or attachment under any applicable state or federal law.

These funds will not be considered part of your combined balances when we determine Account fees and rates.
    7. Other Terms We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time (for example, assessing a fee less than described, or not all, for any reason does not waive our right to begin charging the fee as set forth in this Agreement without notice). If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation of any governmental agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement is governed by the law of the state of South Dakota except to the extent governed by federal law. Should your Account have a remaining balance after a certain period of time, we may be required to remit the remaining funds to the appropriate state agency.

Merchants are responsible for and must provide you with a clear way of choosing to make a Visa debit transaction if they support the option. Please be advised that, should you choose to use the PULSE network when making a transaction without a PIN, different terms may apply. Certain protections and rights applicable ONLY to Visa debit transactions as described in this Agreement will NOT apply to transactions processed on the PULSE network. Please refer to the section above labeled "Lost or Stolen Cards; Unauthorized Transactions" for a description of these rights and protections applicable to Visa debit and non-Visa debit transactions.

We also may reject a transaction or restrict your access to the Mobile App to make further transactions at any time if we believe the security of your Account or Mobile App is at risk or any fraudulent or illegal activity may be occurring, including evidence of unusual activity in your Account.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL NOT AFFECT OR BE INTERPRETED AS MODIFYING IN ANY FASHION THE DISPUTE CLAUSE SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION, IF APPLICABLE, WHICH CONTAINS ITS OWN SEPARATE JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

  15. ARBITRATION CLAUSE

    We have put this Arbitration Clause in question and answer form to make it easier to follow. However, this Arbitration Clause is part of this Agreement and is legally binding. For purposes of this section, our "Notice Address" is: MetaBank, N.A., Attn: Customer Service, 5501 S. Broadband Lane, Sioux Falls, SD 57108.

    Background and Scope.

    Question

    Short Answer

    Further Detail

    What is arbitration?

    An alternative to court

    In arbitration, a third-party arbitrator ("Arbitrator") solves Disputes in an informal hearing.

    Is it different from court and jury trials?

    Yes

    The hearing is private. There is no jury. It is usually less formal, faster, and less expensive than a lawsuit. Pre-hearing fact finding is limited. Appeals are limited. Courts rarely overturn arbitration awards.

    Can you opt out of this Arbitration Clause?

    Yes, within 60 days

    If you do not want this Arbitration Clause to apply, you must send us a signed notice within 60 calendar days after open an Account. You must send the notice in writing (and not electronically) to our Notice Address. Provide your name, address, and Card or Account number. State that you "opt out" of the Arbitration Clause.

    What is this Arbitration Clause about?

    The parties’ agreement to arbitrate Disputes

    Unless prohibited by applicable law and unless you opt out, you and we agree that you or we may elect to arbitrate or require arbitration of any "Dispute" as defined below.

    Who does the Arbitration Clause cover?

    You, us, and certain "Related Parties"

    This Arbitration Clause governs you and us. It also covers certain "Related Parties": (1) our parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates; (2) our employees, directors, officers, shareholders, members, and representatives; and (3) any person or company that is involved in a Dispute you pursue at the same time you pursue a related Dispute with us.

    What Disputes does the Arbitration Clause cover?

    All Disputes (except certain Disputes about this Arbitration Clause)

    This Arbitration Clause governs all "Disputes" that would usually be decided in court and are between us (or any Related Party) and you. In this Arbitration Clause, the word "Disputes" has the broadest reasonable meaning. It includes all claims even indirectly related to your Account or this Agreement. It includes claims related to the validity in general of this Agreement. However, it does not include disputes about the validity, coverage, or scope of this Arbitration Clause or any part of this Arbitration Clause. (This includes a Dispute about the rule against class arbitration.) All such disputes are for a court and not an Arbitrator to decide.

    Who handles the arbitration?

    Usually AAA or JAMS

    Arbitrations are conducted under this Arbitration Clause and the rules of the arbitration administrator in effect when the arbitration is started. However, arbitration rules that conflict with this Arbitration Clause do not apply. The arbitration administrator will be either:

    • The American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), 1633 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org.
    • JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com.
    • Any other company picked by agreement of the parties.

    If all the above options are unavailable, a court will pick the administrator. No arbitration may be administered without our consent by any administrator that would permit a class arbitration under this Arbitration Clause. The Arbitrator will be selected under the administrator’s rules. However, the Arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten years of experience or a retired judge unless you and we otherwise agree.

    Can Disputes be litigated?

    Sometimes

    Either party may bring a lawsuit if the other party does not demand arbitration. We will not demand arbitration of any lawsuit you bring as an individual action in small-claims court. However, we may demand arbitration of any appeal of a small-claims decision or any small-claims action brought on a class basis.

    Are you giving up any rights?

    Yes

    For Disputes subject to this Arbitration Clause, you give up your right to:

    1. Have juries decide Disputes.
    2. Have courts, other than small-claims courts, decide Disputes.
    3. Serve as a private attorney general or in a representative capacity.
    4. Join a Dispute you have with a dispute by other consumers.
    5. Bring or be a class member in a class action or class arbitration.

    We also give up the right to a jury trial and to have courts decide Disputes you wish to arbitrate.

    Can you or another consumer start a class arbitration?

    No

    The Arbitrator is not allowed to handle any Dispute on a class or representative basis. All Disputes subject to this Arbitration Clause must be decided in an individual arbitration or an individual small-claims action. This Arbitration Clause will be void if a court rules that the Arbitrator can decide a Dispute on a class basis and the court’s ruling is not reversed on appeal.

    What law applies?

    The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA")

    This Agreement and the Account involve interstate commerce. Thus, the FAA governs this Arbitration Clause. The Arbitrator must apply substantive law consistent with the FAA. The Arbitrator must honor statutes of limitation and privilege rights. Punitive damages are governed by the constitutional standards that apply in judicial proceedings.

    Will anything I do make this Arbitration Clause ineffective?

    No

    This Arbitration Clause stays in force even if: (1) you or we end this Agreement; or (2) we transfer or assign our rights under this Agreement.

    Process.

    What must a party do before starting a lawsuit or arbitration?

    Send a written Dispute notice and work to resolve the Dispute

    Before starting a lawsuit or arbitration, the complaining party must give the other party written notice of the Dispute. The notice must explain in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute and any supporting facts. If you are the complaining party, you must send the notice in writing (and not electronically) to our Notice Address. You or an attorney you have personally hired must sign the notice and must provide the contact information where you (or your attorney) can be reached. A letter from us to you will serve as our written notice of a Dispute. Once a Dispute notice is sent, the complaining party must give the other party a reasonable opportunity over the next 30 days to resolve the Dispute on an individual basis.

    How does an arbitration start?

    Mailing a notice

    If the parties do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after notice of the Dispute is received, the complaining party may commence a lawsuit or an arbitration, subject to the terms of this Arbitration Clause. To start an arbitration, the complaining party picks the administrator and follows the administrator’s rules. If one party begins or threatens a lawsuit, the other party can demand arbitration. This demand can be made in court papers. It can be made if a party begins a lawsuit on an individual basis and then tries to pursue a class action. Once an arbitration demand is made, no lawsuit can be brought and any existing lawsuit must stop.

    Will any hearing be held nearby?

    Yes

    The Arbitrator may decide that an in-person hearing is unnecessary and that he or she can resolve a Dispute based on written filings and/or a conference call. However, any in-person arbitration hearing must be held at a place reasonably convenient to you.

    What about appeals?

    Very limited

    Appeal rights under the FAA are very limited. The Arbitrator’s award will be final and binding. Any appropriate court may enter judgment upon the Arbitrator’s award.

    Arbitration Fees and Awards.

    Who bears arbitration fees?

    Usually, we do

    We will pay all filing, administrative, hearing, and Arbitrator fees if you act in good faith, cannot get a waiver of such fees, and ask us to pay.

    When will we cover your legal fees and costs?

    If you win

    If you win an arbitration, we will pay the reasonable fees and costs for your attorneys, experts, and witnesses. We will also pay these amounts if required under applicable law or the administrator’s rules or if payment is required to enforce this Arbitration Clause. The Arbitrator shall not limit his or her award of these amounts because your Dispute is for a small amount.

    Will you ever owe us for arbitration or attorneys’ fees?

    Only for bad faith

    The Arbitrator can require you to pay our fees if (and only if): (1) the Arbitrator finds that you have acted in bad faith (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)); and (2) this power does not make this Arbitration Clause invalid.

    Can an award be explained?

    Yes

    A party may request details from the Arbitrator, within 14 days of the ruling. Upon such request, the Arbitrator will explain the ruling in writing.
