USING YOUR ACCOUNT

 

2.1. How we make sure we are dealing with you

Before we do certain things with regards to your account, we may need to check that we are dealing with you, either directly or indirectly and that you have authorized the action which we are taking on your behalf. For instance, if we get a document, we will check the signature on the document or any encrypted means of identification to make sure it matches our record. In all other cases, we will assume we are dealing with you and that we are authorized to take action if your security details are used with cellphone or a telephone.

2.2. Keeping up security

We will do all we reasonably can to prevent unauthorized access to your account. You must also act reasonably to prevent misuse of your account by keeping your payment devices and security details safe. If you do not, we may restrict access to your account to protect you and us being the bank from unauthorized use. If you ask, we will tell you when the restriction will be eased

There are several security tips on our website, please check for any updates we may make from time to time.

You must contact us as soon as possible if someone else tries to access or has accessed your account without your consent of which you must have been notified and also, if you lose any of your security details which may put your account safety at risk.

We will ask for information or other help and we may assist and ask you to assist with any police investigation. You must not use your account while the investigation is ongoing as this may stall the efforts to resolve the issues and compensate for any losses if any

2.3. Someone else operating your account

You can allow another person operate your account for you as you wish and desire but to do this, you will need to give us a signed third-party mandate or a power of attorney.

If you are unable to operate your account for any reason such as mental or physical incapacity, someone else may be appointed to act and operate it on your behalf. When we have received the right legal document, we will allow that person to use your account. Until then, we will not allow you or any other account holder to process any withdrawal, close or convert the nature or type of account.

These conditions apply to any person allowed or appointed to use your account on your behalf but you will be responsible and liable for any and everything they do, even if they make you break any binding agreement.

We remove the third-party mandate immediately if you ask us to or we suspect misuse of your account by that person or the person breaches these terms or any law or regulation and we will refuse to accept instructions under a power of attorney if we know that a person’s legal authority to act for you or on your behalf has ended.

2.4. Operating joint accounts

Where this is more than one account holder, each can operate the account and we will not check with the others before carrying out any instructions from any one of you with regards to the account, including any request for an arranged overdrafts. After one of you tells us there is a dispute, all of you must operate the account together but if the account is empty and has no funds, just one of you can as us to close it.

If we have been given official evidence that one of you has died, we will transfer the account into the name of the remaining account holder or holders. If we convert an account from sole to joint, the new account holder can see all the account information, including when it was a sole account.

We will convert an account from joint names to a sole name if you ask us and all of the account holders agree. Once we do this, you cannot later convert it back to a joint account.

2.5. Using information about you

If we make a reasonable request for information, you must give it to us as soon as possible. If you do not, or we suspect fraudulent or criminal activity of any kind, we might try to get it from another source, we could block or close your account or accounts or you might not be able to access some banking services or keep banking with us.

You must make sure the information you give us is accurate and up to date and tell us if anything changes within thirty days. We will use your information as explained in our privacy notice. We will also give it to others if required by law or public duty, for instance, if we believe you may have tax obligations in other countries, we may have to disclose that information directly to tax authorities or if we need to disclose to protect our own interests, particularly in any legal proceedings or we have your specific agreement.

2.6. Compliance with tax order

Your tax responsibilities, such as filing tax returns, paying taxes and complying with any other tax laws or regulations depend on where you live, where you do business and some other factors. It is up to you to make sure you meet these obligations. We cannot provide tax or legal advice so if you think having or operating an account with Fuelex Capital – FC might affect your tax position, you should speak to an independent advisor.

This also applies to connected persons, for instance, anyone you send a payment to, who operates an account for you, is entitled to money in your account or accounts etcetera.

We will take back any money we pay into your account by mistake or due to a system error.

In all other cases, the steps we will take will depend on how the payment was made and where it came from.

If we do this, we will usually let you know why immediately afterwards, unless we are prevented by law or any regulation or for security reasons. We will unblock the payment device as soon as the reason for blocking it ends.
