In this Agreement, “Virtual Card” means the Chura Virtual Card issued to you. “Virtual Card Account” means the custodial sub-account we maintain on your behalf to account for the transactions made with your Virtual Card, or Virtual Card Number. “Virtual Card Number” is the 16-digit number associated with your Virtual Card. “You” and “your” means the person or persons who have received the Virtual Card and who are authorized to use the Virtual Card as provided for in this agreement. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean Chura Limited, our successors, affiliates or assignees. The Virtual Card is non-transferable, and it may be cancelled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law.

What this means for you: When you apply for a Virtual Card, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, country identification number, and other information that will allow us to identify you.

By participating in the Virtual Card program, you warrant factual representation of the required information is accurate, including, but not limited to, your real name, valid Kenyan mailing address and residential address (if different), identity number or other identification documentation, date of birth, and telephone number. If you falsify, misrepresent, or fail to provide requested information, we may cancel your Virtual Card. In addition, funds tied to suspected illicit or illegal activity may be subject to both internal and potentially Legal investigation. We reserve the right to restrict or delay your access to any such funds

Chura Virtual Card

The Virtual Card is a prepaid card account. The Virtual Card allows you to access funds loaded or deposited to your Virtual Card Account by you. The funds in your Virtual Card Account will be insured once we have been able to verify your identity. A Virtual card is an instantly issued on-screen image of a prepaid card. We provide an online banking facility with PCI compliance security to display the card data to the cardholders and view their virtual card. Virtual cards can be used for online purchases, or recurring payments.

FEES

THE FEES RELATING TO THE USE (AND MISUSE) OF YOUR VIRTUAL CARD ARE SET FORTH IN THE CARD PORTAL - https://icwd.cardportal.com/. FEES INCURRED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR VIRTUAL CARD ACCOUNT AND WILL BE ASSESSED SO LONG AS THERE IS A REMAINING BALANCE IN YOUR VIRTUAL CARD ACCOUNT, UNLESS PROHIBITED BY LAW. You agree to pay to pay all fees associated with the Virtual Card. We may from time to time amend the Fee Schedule, at our sole discretion.

Limitations on Frequency and Dollar Amounts of Transactions

The maximum combined value of your Virtual Card Account is restricted to $500.00 at any point in time. We will determine any maximum value by combining the activity and value of all Virtual Card Accounts you may have with us. For security reasons, we may further limit the number or dollar amount of transactions you can make with your Virtual Card.

Adding Funds to Your Virtual Card Account

You may add funds to your Virtual Card Account (called “value loading”) at any time and up to a maximum of 8 loads per day. Absent special approval, the maximum combined value of funds in your Virtual Card Account(s) may not exceed $500.00 at any time. You agree to meet identification requirements to complete value load transactions as may be required from time to time.
Chura Limited will provide a portal to purchase the virtual card as well as top-up the virtual card using Kenyas' local payment systems.

Business Days

The Chura Virtual Card portal will be available 24/7.

Recurring Transactions.

If you intend to use the Virtual Card for recurring transactions, you should monitor your balance and ensure you have funds available in your Virtual Card Account to cover the transactions. “Recurring transactions” are transactions that are authorized in advance by you to be charged to your Virtual Card at substantially regular intervals. We are not responsible if a recurring transaction is declined because you have not maintained a sufficient balance in your Virtual Card Account to cover the transaction. If these recurring transactions vary in amount, the person you are going to pay should 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.)

Virtual Card Cancellation and Suspension; Limits

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit your use of the Virtual Card, including limiting or prohibiting specific types of transactions. We may refuse to issue a Virtual Card, revoke Virtual Card privileges or cancel your Virtual Card with or without cause or notice, other than as required by applicable law. If you would like to cancel the use of your Virtual Card, you may do so by contacting Customer Service at info@chura.co.ke. You agree not to use or allow others to use an expired, revoked, cancelled, suspended or otherwise invalid Virtual Card. Our cancellation of Virtual Card privileges will not otherwise affect your rights and obligations under this Agreement. If we cancel or suspend your Virtual Card privileges through no fault of yours, you will be entitled to a refund as provided below in the Section entitled “Amendment and Cancellation.” Not all services described in this Agreement are available to all persons or at all locations.
