The Card Balance is combined with eligible deposits held at Peoples Trust Company, for up to $100,000 of deposit protection, per insured category, per depositor. For more information about CDIC deposit insurance, please consult CDIC’s website on cdic.ca.
Card Expiry and Access to Funds: Your right to use the funds loaded on the Card does not expire. If funds remain on the Card after the expiry date, contact customer service for directions on how to receive a replacement Card. When your Card is within ninety (90) days of expiry, a new personalized replacement Card will be sent to you at your last address on our files or delivered to your We Financial Location for pick up. The Balance will be automatically transferred to your new Card, which can be used once activated by calling 1-855-876-1976 or visiting www.wefinancial.ca.
Lost or stolen Card or PIN: You must take all reasonable steps to protect the Card and/or PIN against loss, theft, or unauthorized use. You should not maintain a written record of, or disclose the PIN to a third party, including family members and friends. If you lose the Card and/or PIN or you become aware that the PIN may have become known to someone else, you must IMMEDIATELY suspend your Card in the mobile application and call customer service at 1-855-876-1976. Avoid PIN combinations that may be easily guessed by others. All transactions carried out on the Card before you notify We Financial will be considered to have been made by you.
If you forget the PIN, you can reset your PIN by calling customer service at 1-855-876-1976 or visiting www.wefinancial.ca. The PIN may be disabled if an incorrect PIN is entered three (3) times. If the PIN is disabled, please call customer service for assistance. If the PIN is disabled, or if a merchant does not accept chip and PIN transactions, you will be required to sign for any transactions at merchants, if this is supported by and acceptable to the merchant. We reserve the right to investigate the validity of any claim, including asking for verification of your identity. We may also require you to provide a written claim signed under oath. You will be charged a Card Replacement fee described in the Fee Table. It may take up to 30 days to process your request.
Additional Cardholders: The Primary Cardholder can ask We Financial to issue up to two (2) Additional Personalized Cards in the name of the person(s) the Primary Cardholder identifies. If approved by us, these additional person(s) will become Additional Cardholders on your Card Account. The Additional Cards are associated to the Card Account and share the same Card Balance and Card Limits. Additional Cards share the same Card Account associated with the Primary Card. You will be charged the Additional Card fee for each Additional Card as set out in the Fee Table, which will be deducted from your Card Balance. We will ask for information about the person to whom you want We Financial to issue an Additional Card for security and compliance purposes and reserve the right to not approve your request. Any funds loaded to an Additional Card are linked to the Card Account and may be accessed by other Additional Cardholders authorized by the Primary Cardholder.
Card Balance and activity information can be viewed by all Cardholders. All Cards and Cardholders are governed by this Agreement, and all reloads and transactions on Additional Cards will be considered together for purposes of the transaction and reload limits. You are solely responsible jointly and severally for all obligations under this Agreement for all Cards issued and will be liable for any and all fees, losses or negative balances.
We will only honour instructions from the Primary Cardholder. Any notices regarding a Card Account given to the Primary Cardholder shall be considered to be notice to all Cardholders; with the exception of fee changes in which all Cardholders will receive notice.
Key Cardholder Responsibilities Under This Agreement:
- You must only use our online resources as set out in ‘Website and Availability’, below.
- You must take all reasonable steps to protect the Card (and PIN, if applicable) against loss, theft, or unauthorized use. If you lose the Card (or PIN), you must call customer service immediately.
- You must activate and/or sign the Card as instructed upon receipt of the Card.
- You must surrender the Card to us immediately upon request by us.
- You must ensure that there is a sufficient Balance on the Card Account to cover the full amount of transactions made with each Card associated with the Card Account.
- If your information, associated with the Card, changes, you must notify We Financial of the change(s).
- If you become aware that your information, associated with the Card, is incorrect, you must notify us of the correct information.
- If you find an error in any transaction record, you must communicate the error to the merchant with whom you made the transaction.
- If you wish to dispute a transaction on your Card, you must notify We Financial in writing of your dispute within thirty (30) days of the transaction date.
Split Tender Transactions: If the Balance on the Card is not sufficient to cover the full Transaction Amount, you may ask the merchant if they will accept a split tender transaction. A split tender transaction allows you to use the remaining Balance on the Card to pay for part of the Transaction Amount and cover the difference with another form of payment (e.g., cash, cheque, credit, or debit). Some merchants may require cash payment to cover the difference.
If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split tender transaction prior to using the Card, your Card may be declined. Merchants do not have to and may not agree to accept split tender transactions.
Personal Information: By applying for the Card, you and each Additional Cardholder consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by Peoples Trust Company and its service providers as described below. The collection of that information is necessary for the entering into and performance of this Agreement. Therefore, if you do not consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information, you may not apply for or use a Card.
