Information about you

Keeping us informed


If your account details or any other significant information about you changes, tell us straight away by emailing us or otherwise contacting the support team in your jurisdiction using the contact channels on our website. 

How you must protect your money and information

  • The app gives you access to your account, so you need to make sure you do not allow anyone to log into your account through the app

  • Always keep your phone, tablet or other device secure and close the app if you’re not using it. Do not let anyone see your PIN, password, login or other security details if you are viewing it on your app

  • In the event of a breach, we are not liable to reimburse you if someone tampers with your account because they knew or were able to access your account detail

  • App Push Notifications include your transaction details, which may appear on the lock screen of your mobile device unless you change its settings

  • Some devices allow you to use your fingerprint or Face ID for logging into the app. If you enable this feature, then anyone whose fingerprint or Face ID is registered on your phone or tablet may be able to log into the app and access your accounts. Therefore, you must not activate this feature if you allow other people to access your phone or tablet using their fingerprint or Face ID. You should delete any other fingerprints or Face ID registered on the device first; otherwise, transactions made by anyone else who has their fingerprint or Face ID registered on the device will be treated as being authorised by you

  • Do not install or use the app on a jail-broken or rooted device. These may have had their security features changed in order to work, which makes them less secure, and means that fraudsters could access your phone or tablet and steal your information or money

  • For security purposes, always use the latest version of the app available

 

If someone wants to know your security details

We won’t ever phone you or send you an email asking for your security details. Nor will we ever ask anybody to do this for us. If anyone contacts you asking for your security details, they may be a fraudster. Tell us immediately by calling or emailing the WiPay team in your jurisdiction. 

How we use cookies

  • The app uses cookies and similar technologies when you first register, and to verify your identity when you are using the app. By using the app, you accept how and when we use cookies – as set out below

  • Cookies also help us improve how the app works. We use cookies to collect information about how you use the app, for example which services you access and use most often and if you receive any error messages. We can make the app better and be sure that the products and services we offer are right for you and other people. We may also use the cookies to help us provide more meaningful and relevant communications to you and to see if our ads are working – for example, we can check if you downloaded our app in response to an ad

  • We need these cookies for the app to work – if you do not want them, you will have to delete the app

How the app accesses information about you

  • If you use certain features the app will need to access information on your phone or tablet to work. You can limit this for some features, for example by turning off location settings on your phone 

  • If you enable push notifications in your device settings, we will send you notifications in accordance with the applicable OS (iOS/Android) End User Licence Agreement

  • If we can, we will ask you before the app accesses your device or information – and you can decline

  • You can manage how the app accesses your device or information using privacy settings on your iPhone or iPad, or by uninstalling the app (for Android). You can also do it through the usage settings in the app’s menu

  • If you do not do this, we’ll assume you agree that the app can access your device or information

  • When you use any part of the app which needs your location to work, you agree that we (and other organisations that work with us) can collect and use information about your location

  • We utilise in-app tracking on your mobile device for certain purposes that include the collection and recording of crash analytics, on screen behaviour and retention

What else you need to know

Changes to the app and our terms and conditions

  • If we need to change anything about the app, we will tell you about the change in advance (if it negatively affects how you use the app) or we will tell you after we make the change (if it benefits you or doesn’t affect how you use the app). If there’s anything we need you to agree we might ask you to read and accept a message on your screen to continue using the app

  • From time to time, we may update the app through the App store/ Play store. Depending on what the update is, you may not be able to use the app until you’ve installed the latest version and accepted the new information about it. We will let you know via your phone or tablet when there’s a new version to upload.

  • Make sure any device you use to access the app complies with the standards and requirements we tell you about from time to time.

Contacting you

  • From time to time, we may contact you about the app by email, text or other messages on the app, or by telephone or post

  • We may still sometimes send communications by post, for example, notices about a breach of your agreement. This may be instead of, or in addition to, communications by electronic means

  • It is important that you keep us updated with any changes to your contact details

  • Please remember that you are responsible for checking and verifying the activity on your account

  • Following a period of inactivity, we may remove your access to a digital servicing channel in order to protect your account information. If this happens, you simply need to re-register for access when you are ready

  • We recommend that you download or export a copy of your account transactions by logging into your WiPay account if your account is closing for any reason or at any time, in case you need these for future reference

  • You do not receive a text or message in the app in time

  • We are prevented from providing any service in part or in full because of something a third party does

  • A control applied to your Colour card (if you have enabled same) does not prevent a properly authorised payment, in the circumstances explained to you before you applied the control. 

  • You do not update the app when prompted or when notified that there is a new version available.

 

Part B – Paying another Colour app user

You will need to read and accept these terms and conditions to send or receive mobile payments using the app. In some jurisdictions you can use the app to make payments (known as ‘peer to peer’ payments to another app user. 

Some things you need to know

There is no charge to make or receive mobile payments, but your mobile service provider might charge you for using data.

  • The recipient will receive a notification and SMS to confirm the payment. They’ll also be able to see your name, payment reference, and payment amount

  • Payment limits apply – you can check these on our website (or in the app)

  • We might refuse to process a payment for reasons set out in the general terms

  • You need to tell us if you change your mobile number or account details so that we can continue to process payments correctly

  • The terms and conditions for using the app apply to this service, as do the general terms for your account

  • When using the Colour payments feature you will still be required to use your fingerprint or Facial recognition to authenticate the payment, so you will need to ensure this functionality is activated on your device

If a payment is made by mistake

  • You need to make sure you give us the right details so that we can ensure your payment goes to the right person

  • If you enter the wrong details, the payment might not go through or it might go to the wrong person. While we’re not held responsible for this, we’ll help you to try and get your money back. We explain this in more detail in the general terms

  • If someone pays you by mistake, you authorise us to take the money from your account and return it to them. You must tell us as soon as possible and return any money you suspect or know has been sent to you by mistake
