You will pay Us the amount You want to send to the Receiver (the Transfer Amount) plus any transfer fee, We charge You (as defined further below). Your request to Us to disburse the Transfer Amount to the Receiver is the Transaction. The amount that is paid out to the Receiver is the Payout, which is equivalent to the Transfer Amount in the currency You selected for the receiver.

5.3 You are responsible for ensuring You provide the correct information regarding the Transfer Amount, including the Payout, and Receiver details are correct on the order form. If We have processed Your order in accordance with the information You have provided to Us, it will be considered correctly completed even if You have made a mistake. We cannot be held responsible for any losses resulting from inaccurate information provided by You.

5.4 Since money transfers involve Your request for Us to process them, We reserve the right to accept or decline Your request. We typically only decline for valid reasons, such as a violation of these Terms & Conditions. To ensure a smooth transfer, please provide accurate and up-to-date information about Yourself and the money transfer, including paying the correct amount and any applicable fees.

5.5 To comply with Applicable Law, regulations and regulatory expectations including anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, all money transfers are subject to screening and ongoing monitoring. We may request information or documents to verify Your identity and the purpose of the money transfer. We may also ask for information and documents for the Receiver. Additionally, We may call You to obtain this information.

5.6 We may need to hold the Transaction until the required information is provided. We reserve the right to cancel any Transaction that, in Our sole discretion and based on Our assessment, We determine that does not align with regulatory requirements or falls outside Our risk tolerance.

5.7 We may also cancel and refund the Transaction where You are not able to provide required information within 30 days from the date of the Transaction.

5.8 During the money transfer process, You will be required to provide accurate and truthful information about Yourself and the Receiver through a digital form. The specific information We require may vary depending on the Transaction details. Supplying accurate details is crucial for Us to successfully deliver the funds to the intended Receiver. Any errors or inconsistencies in the provided information may cause delays or even prevent the transfer from being completed.

5.9 We are not obliged to accept any instruction to execute any Transaction and We will not be liable in any way for declining any such instruction or for withdrawing, terminating or restricting Our Services or access to Our Channel to You in any way. These Terms and Conditions shall, however apply to any instruction which We choose to accept.

6. Price

6.1 The pricing and fees associated with our Services are clearly displayed on Our Channel in the Fee Schedule here and shown to You before You initiate the money transfer.

6.2 You are responsible for familiarising Yourself with the Fee Schedule before initiating a money transfer. We will present all applicable fees and charges before You complete the Transaction. Subject to section 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 above, We reserve the right to modify the Fee Schedule from time to time. The then in force Fee Schedule shall apply to each agreement You enter into with Us, subject to the fees attaching to the Transaction as shall be advised to You and agreed to by You at the time of making the Transaction.

6.3 A number of countries around the world have chosen to apply taxes or fees to certain money transfers or bill payments. When sending to a Receiver in these countries, the corresponding deduction will be made from the Transaction Amount. If you require further information in this regard, You can contact Us for assistance.

6.4 The Sender will bear all fees due to complete the money transfer unless Applicable Law in the destination country requires otherwise. In certain cases money transfer payments may be subject to local taxes and service charges. The Receiver may incur additional fees for receiving the Sender’s funds through an account-based money transfer, a mobile telephone or to a bank account.

6.5 Our Services only permit You to send money transfers in certain currencies. Usually this will be the currency which is available in the Recipient’s country or region, but could involve others. Our online forms on our channel will calculate the currency which is available to Your Recipient and what exchange rate will apply. You will be able to check this before you instruct us regarding a Transaction and it will also be notified to You in Our Transaction confirmation notice. You acknowledge and agree that We may earn revenue from the exchange rate applied to a Transaction and by instructing Us to process a Transaction via Our Service, You agree to the application of the exchange rate calculated for that Transaction.

6.6 We do not assume any liability pertaining to costs which the Sender or any account holder incur in conjunction with the exchange rate used for the conversion into non-local currencies.

7. Paying for Money Transfers

7.1. We offer various ways for You to conveniently, and securely pay for Your money transfers.

Transactions from bank accounts or banks cards linked to a business or organisations may not be accepted.

We employ industry-standard security measures to safeguard Your card details and other sensitive data throughout the payment process. However, it is important to understand that no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot be held liable for any unauthorised access to or disclosure of Your financial information due to circumstances beyond Our reasonable control and You must bear the risk associated with the use of the internet while using Our Service or Channel.

7.5. The authorised Payment Methods are provided by third-party financial institutions. We do not guarantee the availability, functionality, or security of these third-party financial institutions. We are not responsible if they are unavailable, do not work properly, or have security issues. You agree to comply with the terms and conditions governing Your chosen Payment Method, and any disputes arising from their use will be resolved directly with the respective financial institution.

8.2 All countries, regions, payout methods, payout entities and operators to which You can make Transfers are listed on Our Channel.

8.3 You must provide accurate details including, but not limited to, bank account number, full name, phone number, address (where applicable), and any other information as may be required of the Receiver. It is Your responsibility to ensure that You have correctly provided all the required details. If You enter the wrong details, the transfer will go ahead and We may not be able to reclaim or redirect the funds once the payment instruction has been processed by Us.

8.4 All Transactions created by You are subject to acceptance by Us. Notwithstanding any prior agreement to initiate a money transfer, We are under no obligation towards You to initiate or execute a money transfer if:

  • 8.4.1 We suspect that Your account has been used for illegal, fraudulent or prohibited purposes or that the Transaction information is incorrect, unauthorised or forged.
  • 8.4.2 a competent court or authority has requested Us to do so.
  • 8.4.3 We believe that You are using Our Services in breach of this Agreement or of the Applicable Law, such as, but not limited to money laundering or terrorism financing.
  • 8.4.4 We are unable to verify Your identity or where You refuse or unable to provide due diligence documents as and when required.
  • 8.4.5 You have provided Us with wrong or incomplete information, or We do not receive Your Transaction information in a timely manner in order to guarantee the timely execution of the requested money transfer.
  • 8.4.6 Your card issuer does not authorise the use of Your bank card to pay for the Transaction and Our fees.

8.5 We have the right to refuse to provide the Services to You either partially or in full if such use constitutes a violation against ACE Money Transfer regulations (including regulations aimed at preventing fraud, money laundering or financing terrorism) and/or against Applicable Law, a court order or requirements of a regulatory or government authority or any other body having jurisdiction over Us or, if We consider such a step necessary to protect Our own interests. If We refuse to provide the Services (partially or in full) to You for any of the above reasons, We will notify You accordingly if possible and give reasons for Our refusal unless We are prevented from doing so for legal reasons.

8.6 We are entitled to either partially or fully cease operating the Services if circumstances that are beyond Our control compel Us to take such action and which We therefore consider appropriate. If the Services provided on the Channel should be interrupted for whatever reason (whether by Us, a third-party provider or in any other manner), We shall take adequate measures to keep the duration of this interruption as short as possible.

8.7 Our responsibilities for delivery of Services outlined in these Terms and Conditions will commence upon Our successful receipt of funds either directly or through confirmation from our third-party financial institutions responsible for collecting funds for the Transfer Amount on Our behalf, in accordance with the transfer instructions You provide. This means that until We have received the full transfer amount, We are not obligated to initiate the money transfer process.

8.8 Upon receiving the funds for the Transfer Amount, either directly or through confirmation from Our third-party financial institutions responsible for collecting funds for the Transfer Amount on Our behalf, We will provide You with a confirmation notice. The confirmation notice may be sent in an email or a notification on the Channel. You must check that the details contained in the confirmation notice are correct and You may print out and keep a copy of it.

8.9 The Services will be provided to You and the funds will be delivered to the Receiver as per the Payment Method selected by You in the order form. The Receiver can receive the money transfer amount into their chosen bank account, their mobile wallet or a cash collection at a designated pay-out location by providing the name and telephone number as provided in the order form. Any delivery dates quoted for completing the remittance service are approximate only. Very occasionally, there may be delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

8.10 We strive to ensure Your money transfers are processed efficiently. However, unexpected delays can occasionally occur due to factors outside Our control. These factors may include, but are not limited to:

  • 8.10.1 We, along with Our partners, operate in a regulated sector and must follow certain rules and regulations. This may require additional verification procedures to comply with anti-money laundering regulations or to confirm transfer details.
  • 8.10.2 Delays can arise during the transfer process as funds are routed through intermediary banks and multiple partners.
  • 8.10.3 Transfers may be delayed if initiated on weekends, holidays, or outside the operational hours of the sending or receiving bank.
  • 8.10.4 Unforeseen technical issues with Our systems or those of intermediary banks can cause delays.

8.11 While We will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimise any such delays, We cannot be held liable for losses or damages arising from transfers that are processed outside of Our standard timeframe due to reasons beyond Our control. While these circumstances are likely to be rare, We recommend You factor in potential delays when planning Your money transfer and advise your Receiver accordingly. We do not have any control over the time it may take for the Receiver’s bank or payment provider to credit and make available to the recipient.

8.12 We reserve the right to cancel money transfers not collected by the Receiver within 60 days of availability. We will make reasonable efforts to refund the transfer amount to Your original Payment Method. However, Our payment processing partners may require additional steps to complete the refund. If a refund cannot be processed through the Payment Method You have opted while completing the Transaction, We may ask You to provide Your alternate bank account number and account statement to process the refund.

9. Transaction Cancelling and Refunds

9.1 You can cancel the Transaction at any time before We receive the funds and provide a confirmation notice.

9.2 Subject to clause 9.1 above, You may cancel the Transaction through the option available in your Profile. If We have not received funds in this case, no refund is due on Our side and the transfer order will be cancelled.

9.3 Where We have received the funds against the Transaction and a confirmation notice has been issued and received, You may still be able to cancel the Transaction and be eligible to apply for a refund if the Services have not already been completed by Us.

9.4 You will no longer be able to cancel your Transaction if, You have explicitly given Your consent and We have already completed the Service or sent instructions to our partners to deliver the Service. Here are some examples of when We consider the Service complete:

  • 9.4.1 Funds have been deposited into Your Receiver's designated bank account, wallet, or mobile number.
  • 9.4.2 Your Receiver has already accessed or collected the transferred funds.

9.5 Once funds delivery instructions are sent to the designated pay-out partner, the Transaction cannot be cancelled unless We receive confirmation from the pay-out partner that the funds are still available. If the pay-out partner confirms that the receiver has already collected or accessed the funds, the Transaction is final and cannot be cancelled.

9.6 Where We are able to cancel the Transaction, We will refund the full or part (see below regarding the processing fee) of the transfer amount in the account from which You have created the Transaction.

9.7 We reserve the right to deduct a processing fee at the time of making a refund for cancellation, to cover Our reasonable costs for delivering the Services.

10. How Your Money is Protected

10.1 When You use Our Service, Your money is held securely with Us until the Transaction is complete. We safeguard these funds by placing them in dedicated client money bank accounts at commercial or central banks. These accounts segregate Your money from Our own funds, ensuring additional protection. This practice, mandated by regulations, is known as safeguarding.

11.4 If You are not happy with how We handle your complaint, You can contact an alternative dispute resolution provider to try to resolve it without having to go to court.
