24.1. Your EveryDay transactional account is a full-service bank account which is the core of your banking product set.
24.2. It has the following benefits:
25.1. Receiving your debit card: You will be issued with a Visa branded contactless chip and PIN debit card at a Kiosk instore at a PnP or Boxer. The debit card has an integrated circuit (CHIP) and an antenna for wireless communication which allows for contactless card payments by bringing the debit card into the wireless range of an enabled contactless POS device at selected merchants.
25.2. You will either receive a personal card or a business card depending on your account. These terms and conditions apply equally to both.
25.3. You will choose a personalised PIN before receiving your debit card (keep this safe).
25.4. Activating your debit card: When the debit card is issued, it has a status of ‘active pending first transaction’. To activate your debit card, you will need to perform a successful POS or ATM transaction.
25.5. Debit card safety and PIN: As a cardholder, you must take proper care of the debit card and the debit card PIN. You must take all reasonable steps to prevent them from being lost, stolen, or wrongfully used. Be aware that anyone who has your debit card can perform contactless transactions, so you must keep the debit card safe.
25.6. If the debit card, the debit card number, or the PIN is lost, stolen, or used wrongfully, you must let us know immediately by calling the 24-hour Lost Card number 0860 999 118 (+27 11 327 6167 for International Calls).
25.7. Upon issue, your card, including replacements and renewals, will be automatically enrolled for VbV participation, which provides another level of authentication when performing an eCommerce transaction at a participating merchant.
25.8. For a transaction at a 3DSecure merchant, you will be sent a One Time PIN, which you must enter correctly in the space provided to complete the transaction. A PIN may not be required for a key entry transaction.
25.9. We may impose measures to stop or restrict the use of the debit card or debit card number if we suspect that fraudulent or illegal activity is occurring on the debit card.
25.10. Expiry and Replacement: Your debit card is valid until the last day of the month shown on the debit card. Your new debit card will be issued to you at a Kiosk.
25.11. You may request a replacement debit card if your debit card is lost, stolen, or damaged. We may charge you for a replacement debit card. This cost is available in the Fees section available on our website.
25.12. Exchange Control Regulations: You must follow all applicable exchange control regulations when using the debit card outside the Common Monetary Area (which includes Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa). Any transaction or payment made in a currency other than South African Rand (“Rand”) will be converted to Rand at the Visa rate of exchange that applies on the date of processing the transaction to your accounts.
25.13. Right to debit the account or decline transactions: Each time the debit card or the debit card number (and PIN) is used to perform a transaction, we have the right to deduct this amount from your account. This right applies even if no transaction slip or cash withdrawal voucher has been signed.
25.14. Card Disputes: If you have any problems, claims, or disputes with any supplier or merchant that you use your debit card with, this will not affect our right to receive payment in any way. You will not be able to instruct us to refuse to pay the supplier. You also cannot instruct us to make a claim nor institute a counter claim against a supplier or merchant.
25.15. Any payment made by us to a supplier or merchant is final and cannot be reversed unless Visa allows it in terms of their own rules and regulations.
25.16. If a payment was made twice, you must provide proof that you tried to resolve the dispute or problem with the supplier.
25.17. You must raise any dispute about your debit card within 30 (thirty) days after the transaction date.
25.18. In these Banking Terms, you agree that no supplier or merchant is our agent. If a supplier or merchant refunds you, it will be credited to your account only after we receive a proper credit voucher from the supplier or merchant.

27.2. To send money, you simply login to the SmartApp or Internet Banking, click on SendMoney and enter the intended recipient’s mobile number and the amount to be paid.
27.3. If the mobile number is linked to a recipient who banks with us, the full amount sent will immediately be transferred into the recipient’s EveryDay transactional account. No fees apply when both the sender and the recipient bank with us.
27.4. If the recipient mobile number is not associated with an existing Tyme customer, a voucher will be generated and sent to the recipient via SMS.
27.5. The voucher can be cashed out at any Boxer or PnP till point and is valid for 3 years from date of issue.
27.6. A fee of R4 is applied when a voucher is generated – the value of the voucher is therefore R4 less than the value entered by the sender.
27.7. We limit the total value of transactions we classify as high risk (which includes SendMoney and airtime or electricity transactions) to R3000 per day.
27.8. The SendMoney service has great benefits for existing MoneyTransfer customers:
27.9. Please check that all information is correct when you send money. We will not transfer the funds to a new cellphone number if the Recipient’s cellphone number changes or you enter the wrong number and the SendMoney has been redeemed. We cannot reverse, refund or correct payments that were made to wrong persons and redeemed.
27.10. Any SendMoney payments not redeemed by the recipient within 7 days will be automatically reversed.
28.1. Make sure that your account has enough funds available to make a payment. This includes when you make any payments, transfers, debit card purchases, value added service purchases, debit orders, or when you incur fees on the account.
28.2. We will not carry out payment instructions if there are not sufficient funds available in your transactional account.
28.3. Under special circumstances, we might decide to provide you with better service by allowing specific transactions can go ahead even if you have insufficient funds available in your transactional account.
28.4. If this happens we will charge a fee for each payment instruction, and we can immediately demand repayment for the amount owing.
28.5. Payments made to other Tyme customers will be processed immediately unless processed after 22:00, in which case they will be processed by 1:00 on the following day.
28.6. If you make payments to other banks, the following cut-off times apply:

28.12. For all electricity, data, and SMS purchases, please check that all information is correct. We won’t refund any of these transactions.
28.13. We limit electronic transactions. Please look at this table to see the maximum limits:

29.1. Balances held in the GoalSave product earn interest at rates that increase with time. The rates applicable for each time period will go up or down in the future, but at bank launch the rates are:
29.2. Interest rates quoted are annual rates, and compounding is monthly, calculated on the first day of the month, and based on average monthly balances. Average monthly balances are based on daily end of day balances.
29.3. Interest on the money in each GoalSave goal is calculated daily, on the balance at the end of the day, and at the interest rate for that day. The daily interest builds up during the month and is added to the balance in the GoalSave account on the 1st day of the next month.
29.4. Contributions
30.1. The GoalSave product offers two options for withdrawals:
30.2. You cannot withdraw only part of your GoalSave account balance. If you withdraw money from this account, the full balance in your GoalSave account will be transferred to your EveryDay transactional account.
30.3. The BONUS is calculated as 0.111 x interest earned. When this multiplier is applied to the bank launch interest rates, the maximum interest rate earnable is boosted from 9% to 10%.
30.4. The BONUS multiplier and interest rates may change at the bank’s sole discretion. If there are any changes, you will be notified by SMS, and applicable rates will be viewable on the SmartApp or on the www.tymebank.co.za website.
30.5. Money in your GoalSave account can only be paid into your EveryDay transactional account.
30.6. GoalSave will not allow debit orders to be made from your GoalSave account. This means you are in full control of your money.
