Historic mobile banking terms

Changes to mobile banking terms

On 16th June 2015 we’ll be offering a new service within the Mobile Banking app, which will allow you to send payments through the Paym scheme. Paym is a service offered by a number of banks and building societies, which allows you to send and receive payments using just a mobile phone number. You can find out more about Paym at paym.co.uk.  

We've also taken this opportunity to simplify our Terms. 

These changes will take effect on 16th June 2015.  

Read our new Mobile Banking Terms

Please read these terms carefully. They'll stay in the "More" section for future reference.  

Need more help? 

If you have any queries, please contact us on 0345 366 7003 or +44 2381 244181 from outside the UK or visit iombank.com.

If you no longer wish to use Mobile Banking, you can cancel this service by calling us on 0345 366 7003 or +44 2381 244181 from outside the UK and deleting the App from your mobile device(s).

Availability of service

3.1 While we will make reasonable efforts to provide the Mobile Phone Banking Service, we will not be liable for any failure to provide the Mobile Phone Banking Service, in part or full, for any cause that is beyond our reasonable control. This includes, in particular, any suspension of the Service resulting from maintenance and upgrades to our systems or the systems of any party used to provide the Service, outages on any phone network or in the case of mobile networks where you are not in an area of mobile coverage.

3.2 The Mobile Banking Service application (the "Application") is provided "as is" with no representation, guarantee or warranty of any kind as to its functionality.

Security procedure

4.1 You must keep your security details secret and take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised or fraudulent use of them.

4.2 You must not disclose your security details to any other person or record your security details in any way that may result in them becoming known to another person.

4.3 Please note that after initial registration we will never contact you (or ask anyone to do so on our behalf), with a request to disclose your security details in full. If you receive any such request from anyone (even if they are using our name and logo and appear to be genuine) then it is likely to be fraudulent and you must not supply your security details to them in any circumstances. Additionally you should report any such requests to us immediately.

4.4 Where a transaction using the Mobile Phone Banking Service has been carried out using your security details, but you subsequently show that the transaction was not authorised by you, you will not be liable for that transaction provided you have kept your security details secret, not acted fraudulently, acted with reasonable care and acted in accordance with these Terms.

4.5 If you suspect that anyone knows your security details you must contact us immediately. If you fail to do so, you will be liable for any unauthorised transactions on your account confirmed by use of your security details.

4.6 You will be responsible for all instructions given by you or anyone acting with your authority between the time you pass the security procedure until you exit from the Mobile Phone Banking Service. Please note that this includes any input errors or instructions sent by someone other than yourself, so please do not leave your mobile phone unattended while you are still logged onto the Mobile Phone Banking Service.

4.7 You are responsible for making sure information either shown or stored on your mobile phone is kept secure.

4.8 You must advise us of any change to your mobile phone number or email address.

Transactions

5.1 When you instruct us to make a payment through the Mobile Banking Service, we will make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. We will advise you if we cannot use the Faster Payments Service.

5.2 You acknowledge that you are responsible for all transactions carried out using the Mobile Phone Banking Service and for the repayment of any debt that arises from use of the Mobile Phone Banking Service.

Pay your contacts

6.1 General

6.1.1 You can only register to use Pay your contacts within this app if your account is held in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Gibraltar.

6.1.2 If you are registered to use Pay your contacts, you can ask us to make a payment by using the Application to advise the mobile phone number of the person you would like to make the payment to (the "payee"), together with the amount of the payment in Sterling. When you instruct us to make a payment by providing the mobile phone number of the payee you consent to us debiting your account for the amount specified.

6.1.3 The mobile phone number that you give us identifies the payee. You are responsible for ensuring that you provide us with the correct mobile phone number and amount.

6.1.4 Once you have asked us to make a payment using Pay your contacts you will not be able to cancel that payment. If you realise that you have given us an incorrect mobile phone number you must inform us as soon as possible by contacting our telephone banking service. Where circumstances permit we will try to stop the payment, but may not be able to do so. We will not be liable to you if we are unable to stop a payment in these circumstances.

6.1.5 We will inform you within the Application if we are unable to send a payment.

6.1.6 For your and our security, we will place a daily limit on transactions using Pay your contacts and a limit on the amount of any one Pay your contacts transaction. Details of these limits can be found on our website at iombank.com/mobile.

6.2 Paying Registered Customers

6.2.1 You may ask us to make a payment to other customers who are registered users of the RBS Group Mobile Banking service ("Registered Customers"). When you give us the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment this will be your payment instruction to us. The payment will normally be processed immediately but may sometimes take up to two hours. Payments using Pay your contacts will be identified in the payee's account by your mobile phone number.

6.3 Paying Non-Registered payees

6.3.1 You may ask us to make a payment to someone who is not a Registered Customer (a "Non-Registered payee") provided they have a Visa debit card, Visa credit card, or a Visa pre-paid card which is eligible to receive third party payments.

6.3.2 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered payee by giving us their mobile phone number and the payment amount, we will work in partnership with Visa Europe Limited ("Visa") to process your instruction.

6.3.3 Some Non-Registered payees will already have their mobile phone number and Visa card details registered with Visa. These Non-Registered payees will be treated by Visa as "Registered Visa recipients".

6.3.4 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered payee who is a Registered Visa recipient, you initiate the payment transaction and Visa will process the payment on our behalf.

6.3.5 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered payee who is not a Registered Visa recipient:

(a) Visa will send a text message to the Non-Registered payee on our behalf informing them that you wish to make a payment to them. For security reasons Visa will not state the amount of the payment in this text message. It is your responsibility to provide the Non-Registered payee with this information.

(b) The Non-Registered payee will have up to seven days from the day Visa send the text message to collect the payment. After the collection period has expired the payment request will no longer be valid and you will have to make a fresh payment request if you still wish to make the payment.

(c) To collect the payment, the Non-Registered payee must visit the Visa Europe collections website referred to in the text message and provide their eligible Visa card details as well as the amount of the payment. When the Non-Registered payee provides this information they initiate the payment transaction and Visa will process the payment on our behalf.

6.3.6 For all Non-Registered payees, if the payment is successful it will be credited to the Non-Registered payee's account by the end of the business day [after the payee has contacted Visa to collect the payment]. If the payment is unsuccessful you will be sent a text message to let you know, and you will have to make a fresh payment request if you still wish to make the payment.
