  2. When you apply to open your Accounts or use any of our Products you are agreeing to start a contractual relationship with us.  This document is the agreement between you and us (‘Agreement’) and it sets out the terms and conditions (‘Terms’) that will apply to your contractual relationship with us.
  3. You can access and view a copy of this Agreement on our website.
  4. It is important that you read and understand everything in this document before you agree to these Terms. Any term that is in bold print is very important. You must read the bold print very carefully.

Fees

You also agree to pay any costs which we must pay when we perform our obligations under these Terms, including administration fees, commissions, and taxes.

  8. Where no credit or debits are processed to your Account(s) during the statement period, the Bank will not make a statement available to you.

Transaction Notifications

  1. Transaction Notification is a messaging service that provides you with a notification when a transaction is processed on your GoTyme Bank account.
  2. The Transaction Notification is sent to you by way of SMS to your registered mobile number on your GoTyme Bank profile, or as a device push message to the GoTyme Bank SmartApp.
  3. Transaction Notifications assist in alerting you when a transaction, other than GoTyme Bank banking fees are processed on your account.
  4. Transaction Notifications are a value-add service that are additional to any statement you may receive. Your statement and online or SmartApp banking profile remain the final record of transactions processed on your GoTyme Bank account.
  5. The type and value of transactions for which you will receive a Transaction Notification may change from time to time.
  6. Your Transaction Notification service preference can be updated electronically by using the GoTyme Bank SmartApp.
  7. Transaction Notifications that are sent by way of SMS will attract a fee of 50c per Transaction Notification.
  8. Transaction Notifications that are sent by way of push messages to the SmartApp, will attract no additional fees per Transaction Notification. You require mobile data or Wi-Fi access to receive Transaction Notifications, the costs of which will be for your account.
  9. You should not only rely on the Transaction Notifications to be notified of a transaction that is processed on your GoTyme Bank account.
  10. You must ensure that we have the correct mobile number for you on record. We will not be held responsible if you have not updated your records with us and the Transaction Notification is sent to the wrong mobile number.
  11. Where you make use of Transaction Notifications sent to the SmartApp, you have a responsibility to ensure that you access the SmartApp to view your Transaction Notifications.
  12. A Transaction Notification will be considered to be received by you, when we receive confirmation from our systems that an SMS was successfully sent to your phone number, or a push message was sent to the SmartApp.
  13. We cannot guarantee the delivery of the Transaction Notification, as we are dependent on external parties to send the SMS to your selected mobile number, or push message to the SmartApp.
  14. We accept no liability whatsoever, and you indemnify us against any loss, expense, claim or damage, whether direct or indirect, arising from the use of the Transaction Notification services, or arising from any delay or failure by us to send a SMS or SmartApp push message, as a result of a delay or fault of a network operator, outdated contact information on our records, or you have not accessed your SmartApp or SMSs to see if any Transaction Notifications were received.
  15. We make no representation or warranty, whether express or implied, as to the operation and functionality of the Transaction Notification service.
  16. If you dispute receiving the Transaction Notification by way of SMS or SmartApp push messages, you must provide evidence that you have not received the SMS or SmartApp push message. Our system records will serve as confirmation of the date and time when the SMS or SmartApp push message was sent to you.
  17.  You must bring any suspicious or fraudulent transaction to our immediate attention by contacting us on 0860 999 119. If you do not immediately notify us of a suspicious or fraudulent transaction, you will be held liable for the transaction, as if you had authorised such transaction. You will be responsible for proving that you were not negligent in notifying us.

Credit and identity checks

  1. You agree that we can use your photograph and fingerprints (‘biometric information’) to check your identity using information from the Department of Home Affairs (‘DHA’). We will use a database called the Home Affairs National Identification System (‘HANIS’). We will only use the biometric information that you have given us.
  2. You agree that we can use the information you have given us to check your identity and your credit rating by contacting your employer, other banks, or credit bureaus.

Anti-Money Laundering

  1. You accept that we must follow local and international laws to prevent money laundering, terrorism, and other organised crime.
  2. You agree to give us any documents we might need to comply with these laws and check the information you give us about yourself. If you do not give us these documents, we can refuse to open Accounts for you or let you use our Products.
  3. You agree that we can report information about your Accounts to local and international regulators without telling you, if the law forces us to do this.
  4. You agree that we can close your Accounts or stop you from using your Accounts and/or Products without telling you why, if we have reason to think that your Accounts are being used illegally or if you cannot give us all documents we need to check your information.

Service interruptions

  1. Events out of our control could cause a service interruption that stops you from accessing our Products or Channels for some time. Service interruptions can be caused by things like power failures or blackouts, system or network failures, wars, strikes, or natural disasters.
  2. We do not have to let you know about service interruptions before they happen if we do not have enough time, but we will try to let you know before a service interruption happens if this is possible in the situation.
  3. If a service interruption happens because of an event out of our control, our obligations to you will be suspended and we will not be responsible if we do not perform any of our obligations to you, for as long as any interruptions last.
  4. You agree that we will not be legally responsible to you in any way because of any interruptions which were beyond our reasonable control.

Instructions

  1. When you submit your Application to us, you agree that you will give us instructions about your Accounts using electronic channels like telephone, email, apps, or our kiosk (‘Electronic Instructions’).
  2. You agree that we do not need to contact you when we receive your Electronic Instructions.

Taxes

  1. You are responsible for paying all taxes that we charge you for using your Accounts or other Products we provide to you. This includes value-added tax (‘VAT’), which we must add to any Fees or additional costs we charge you. We are not responsible for letting you know about any changes in the law which affect the taxes that you pay or are due to pay.
  2. You are responsible for paying any taxes that you owe to the South African Revenue Services (‘SARS’) because of any law. If the law requires us to process any of these payments for you, you agree that we can make the payment from your Accounts. If your balance is not enough to cover this payment, you agree that you will pay back any amount which we pay to SARS for you.
  3. You understand and accept that we may provide or disclose any of your tax information that we may have in our possession, to any relevant tax authorities or any party authorised to audit or conduct a similar control over us for tax purposes. You acknowledge that this tax information and information about your income paid or credited to you or for the benefit of your Account(s) may be reported to the tax authorities of the country where the income comes from. Those tax authorities may provide the information to the countries where you are resident for tax purposes subject to the relevant tax regulations.
  4. If you need more information about taxes, you can contact SARS on 0800 00 7277.

Legal Costs

  1. If you breach any of these Terms, you agree to pay our legal costs on the scale as between attorney and client. This means that you will pay us the full amount that we must pay our attorneys. This amount can include any costs we suffer when we try to enforce our legal rights without going to court. The amount also includes the costs of taking you to court, settling our dispute with you, and enforcing a judgment awarded in our favour.

  4. If your contact details are not correct and we need to contact you, you agree that we can charge you for any costs we pay to find you.
  5. We will communicate with you using the SmartApp wherever possible. There are times when we will send you messages by push notification, SMS, WhatsApp, telephone, email, social media, messaging apps (including WhatsApp), or third-party websites. We will stick to your preference whenever we can.

  1. To help make sure that your personal information is safe and secure, you must keep your passwords and pins safe and secret.

  2. You have the right to end this Agreement by giving us notice in writing.
  3. If you have Accounts with us and there is money in the Accounts when this Agreement ends, or if we are closing your Accounts, you will first be given the opportunity to clear the money from your Accounts. If you do not clear the money before the Account is closed, we will take the required steps to ensure it is made available to you by other means. We will, to the extent possible, provide reasonable assistance to you to close, terminate or transfer to another bank. We will not impose any unreasonable barriers to you in these circumstances.
  4. If there is an outstanding balance on your Account, we will request full payment for all transactions subject to any arrangements you have with us on your Account.
  5. If this Agreement ends and/or we close your Accounts, you will not be able to use any bank cards we have given you. You must cut up your card so that nobody else can use it.
  6. We have the right to end this Agreement, close your Accounts, or stop you from using our Products or Channels immediately in any of the following situations:
    • local or international law forces us to;
    • your name is on any international sanctions list;
    • you breach any of the terms and conditions of our Agreement;

    • you did not provide us with enough updated information.

About this Agreement

  1. This Agreement is governed by South African law.
  2. We and you agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a South African Magistrate’s Court for any legal proceedings about this Agreement. This means that you or we can go to that Court even if the amount claimed is higher than the Court’s jurisdiction.
  3. These Terms and any additional Product and Channel Terms are the whole Agreement between us.
  4. If you or we do not always use all the rights we get from this Agreement, it does not mean that you or we have given up any rights. Not using a right cannot stop (‘estop’) you or us from claiming that right later if we go to court.
  5. If any Term in this Agreement is illegal or unenforceable, that Term can be cancelled, but the other Terms will still apply.
  6. We are allowed to cede any of the rights we get from this Agreement without your consent. This means we are allowed to transfer any of these rights to someone who is not us (‘a third party’) without getting your permission. You will then have to perform your obligations to the third party.
  7. We are allowed to delegate any of our obligations under this Agreement without your consent. This means we are allowed to transfer any of our obligations to you to a third party without getting your permission. The third party will then perform our obligations to you.
  8. You agree that you cannot cede any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations without first getting our permission in writing.
  9. If we cede our rights to more than one other person, this could mean that more than one person will have a legal claim against you (‘splitting of claims’). You agree to this splitting of claims.

Banking Products

Introduction

  1. The following terms and conditions (‘Banking Terms’) apply to the banking Products we provide to you.
  2. You need to agree to these Banking Terms before you can use any of our banking Accounts or Products.
  3. If there is anything in these Banking Terms that you do not understand, please call us on 0860 999 119 as soon as possible to ask for more information. It is important that you do this before using our banking Accounts or Products.

Verified Banking Profile

Know your customer (“KYC”)

  1. In order to become a GoTyme Bank customer and make use of any GoTyme Bank products or services, you will need a verified banking profile. In order for you to have a verified banking profile, you will need to:
    • provide us with certain personal information about yourself (as requested during the account opening process and on a defined ongoing basis) in order for us to verify your identity in compliance with FICA and the risk policies of GoTyme Bank; 
    • accept these Terms and Conditions;
    • either (i) take a clear selfie using our SmartApp or (ii) scan your fingerprint at any GoTyme Bank kiosk; and
    • provide us with your home address through a paperless pocess using our SmartApp or at any GoTyme Bank Kiosk.

Repayment, interest, fees and charges

  1. If we give you a loan, we must follow the National Credit Act, 2005 (‘NCA’), should it apply to the agreement. The NCA limits what we can do and gives you rights that we must respect. We will tell you about these rights when you take out a loan with us.
  2. If we give you a loan, you agree to pay back the loan when we demand it.
  3. You agree to pay interest at the rate we set on any loan that we provide to you. We will give you reasonable notice of the interest rate before we charge you. We will give you enough time to think about the interest rate before you agree to any loan. The interest rate we set will not be higher than the maximum interest rate allowed by the law, including the NCA.
  4. You accept that we may change the credit interest rate you earn on our savings and investment products from time to time. These changes may happen when the South African Reserve Bank (‘SARB’) changes the ‘repo rate’, or at other times.

GoalSave -Terms and Conditions

Your GoalSave Account

  1. The GoalSave Account is an interest-bearing deposit financial product that enables you to save toward short and long-term financial goals and which gives you the option to access your money either on-demand or on-notice.
  2. Your GoalSave Account is not a transactional account. This means that you will not be able to perform any bank transactions (such as ATM withdrawals, payments, or debit orders) from any GoalSave Account. You can open and operate multiple GoalSave Accounts (up to a maximum of 10 GoalSave Accounts) at a time.
  3. We reserve the right to monitor the use of your GoalSave Accounts on an on-going basis for the purposes of assessing your compliance with these GoalSave Terms and Conditions and the Applicable Laws. In the unlikely event that funds of any value are erroneously credited to any of your GoalSave Account, you authorise us to reverse such erroneous transaction and the wrongly credited amount.

Deposits into your GoalSave Account

  1. You can make multiple deposits into all of your GoalSave Accounts at any time (ad-hoc or scheduled), subject to the following conditions and restrictions:
    • deposits can only be made through the transfer of funds from your Current Account into the relevant GoalSave Account;
    • the deposit amount that you may transfer from your Current Account into your GoalSave Account may be subject to monetary limitations; and
    • the total aggregate value of daily balances across all of your GoalSave Accounts (up to a maximum of 10) at any given time may not exceed the GoalSave limit of R250 000 (which may be amended by GoTyme Bank from time to time). This means that you will not be able to deposit any further funds into any of your GoalSave Accounts if the total aggregate value of daily balances across all of your GoalSave Accounts is equal to the GoalSave limit of R250 000.

Withdrawals from your GoalSave Account

  1. In respect of each GoalSave Account you opened, you will have the right to choose the Withdrawal Option (either a Demand Withdrawal or Notice Withdrawal as set out below) that will apply to that GoalSave Account. This means that the withdrawal of funds from a GoalSave Account will be subject to the conditions and processes of the Withdrawal Option applicable to that GoalSave Account as chosen by you in terms of the GoalSave Account Withdrawals Options below.

GoalSave Account Withdrawal Options

  1. In respect of each GoalSave Account opened by you under these Terms and Conditions, you will have the sole right and discretion to elect the withdrawal mechanism by choosing one of the available following Withdrawal Options:
    • Demand Withdrawal Option: in terms of which you can immediately access the money in your GoalSave Account and enables you to withdraw any amount from your GoalSave Account at any time (without notice) by transferring funds from your GoalSave Account to your Current Account; or
    • Notice Withdrawal Option: in terms of which you can only access the money in your GoalSave Account after giving us a 10-day notice to withdraw. After the 10-day notice period, the total amount standing to the credit of your GoalSave Account (including the GoalSave Interest accrued over the life of the GoalSave Account), plus GoalSave Bonus Interest, if you qualify (see “GoalSave Bonus Interest eligibility requirements” below) will be paid into your Current Account.

Choosing your GoalSave Account’s Withdrawal Option

  1. Your choice of Withdrawal Option will be exercised and given automatic effect when you perform one of the following withdrawal functions from your relevant GoalSave Account on the GoTyme Bank App:

    • “10-day notice” to withdraw function: in terms of which you will give us 10-days’ notice to withdraw the total amount standing to the credit of your GoalSave Account. Please note that the “10-day notice to withdraw” function will only be available on a GoalSave Account from which a Transfer Out function has not previously been performed. This means that once you perform a Transfer Out function from a GoalSave Account, you will not be able to perform a “10-days’ notice to withdraw” function from the same GoalSave Account.
  1. You acknowledge and agree that:
    • once you perform a single Transfer Out function from a GoalSave Account, we will regard that as you unconditionally and irrevocably (i) choosing to subject that GoalSave Account to the Demand Withdrawal Option; (ii) agreeing to be bound by the Demand Withdrawal Condition (set out in the “Demand Withdrawal Conditions” clause below) with immediate effect; and (iii) accepting that the rights and obligations set out in the Demand Withdrawal Conditions will become automatically applicable to your use of that GoalSave Account;
    • the Notice Withdrawal Option will only be available in respect of a GoalSave Account that has not undergone a Transfer Out function (and is thus not already subject to the Demand Withdrawal Option and Conditions);
    • subject to the above, once you perform a 10-day notice to withdraw function from a GoalSave Account (that is not already subject to a Demand Withdrawal Option), we will regard that as you unconditionally and irrevocably (i) choosing to subject that GoalSave Account to the Notice Withdrawal Option (ii) agreeing to be bound by the Notice Withdrawal Conditions (set out in the “Notice Withdrawal Conditions” clause below) with immediate effect; and (iii) accepting that the rights and obligations set out in the Notice Withdrawal Conditions will become automatically applicable to your use of that GoalSave Account.

    • Withdrawals: you can make further withdrawals from that GoalSave Account at any time for any amount (up to the total amount standing to the credit of your GoalSave Account at the time) using the Transfer Out Function;
    • Closure of the GoalSave Account: if you want to close a GoalSave Account that is subject to the Demand Withdrawal Option, you must perform a Transfer Out function from the GoalSave Account in terms of which you transfer the total amount standing to the credit of the GoalSave Account to your Current Account.
  1. Notice Withdrawal Conditions:
    • Interest: a GoalSave Account that is subject to the Notice Withdrawal Option will be entitled to:
      • earn GoalSave Interest on the daily credit balance; and
      • qualify to earn GoalSave Bonus Interest on the total amount standing to the credit of the GoalSave Account on the withdrawal notice date, provided that you also meet the GoalSave Bonus Interest requirements and conditions (as set out in the “GoalSave Bonus Interest eligibility requirements” clause) on the withdrawal notice date;
    • Withdrawals and Closure of GoalSave Account: partial withdrawals are not permitted from a GoalSave Account that is subject to the Notice Withdrawal Option. Upon receipt of your notice to withdraw, the 10-day notice period will commence. At the end of the 10-day notice period:
      • the total amount standing to the credit of your GoalSave Account (including the GoalSave Interest accrued over the life of the GoalSave Account), plus GoalSave Bonus Interest, if you qualify, will be paid into your Current Account. You will not be able to access the money in your GoalSave Account during the 10-day notice period;
      • if the GoalSave Interest Rate applicable to your GoalSave Account changes during the 10-day notice period, the changed rate will be applied to your GoalSave Account for the remainder of the notice period. If this happens, the total amount paid to you at the end of the 10-day notice period (after the interest rate change) may be different from the total amount quoted to you on the date of your withdrawal notice (before the interest rate change); and
      • the GoalSave Account will be subsequently closed.

Interest

  1. The interest rates applicable to GoalSave Account are determined by GoTyme Bank in its sole discretion. You can access information about the interest rates that apply to your respective GoalSave Account(s) by visiting our website or contacting our customer service center (0860 999 119).

Digital Wallet

For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, reference to GoTyme Bank Card shall mean your Debit Card and/or your Virtual Card. 

These Terms and Conditions apply when you load your GoTyme Bank Card into a digital wallet and must be read with the Virtual Card and/or Debit Card Terms and Conditions made available to you on our website.

  1. In order to load your GoTyme Bank Card into a digital wallet (hereafter referred to as a “Wallet”), you must enroll and activate your GoTyme Bank Card in the Wallet. The enrolment of your GoTyme Bank Card to a Wallet will be subject to the wallet provider’s terms and conditions and privacy policy.
  2. You may only load your GoTyme Bank Card into eligible Wallets as determined by GoTyme Bank from time to time.
  3. Once you have enrolled and activated your GoTyme Bank Card on your device to a Wallet (which is referred to as a Token), it exists independently and separately from your physical Debit Card or Virtual Card. This Token can be used to pay for transactions wherever your Wallet is accepted.
  4. Once you have enrolled your GoTyme Bank Card on your Wallet and the Token has been created, you must activate the Token as directed by your Wallet provider – this can be through the GoTyme Bank App or via the GoTyme Bank Customer Care Centre. Once you have activated the Token in your Wallet, you will be able to use your Token to make payments through your Wallet.
  5. The authentication credentials provided to you by your Wallet provider and managed within the Wallet will be used to authorise Token transactions made by you through your Wallet. This means that we will assume that you have authorised all transactions where your Token is used as a method of payment, unless you notify us beforehand that your Token is being used or about to be used without your knowledge or consent, or that your device, Wallet and/or security codes have been compromised. You are thus liable for all losses related to the transaction, even if a fraudster has created their own wallet with your Wallet details.
  6. You must take all necessary steps to prevent the unauthorised or fraudulent use of your device, Wallet, Token/s and any confidential code, username and password, card PIN, security token, access code, pattern, and other information that you use when you pay with your Token or when you access your Wallet.
  7. We will not charge you extra fees when you use your Token through the Wallet (all the usual card fees will still apply). However, other parties (i.e. Wallet provider and any mobile network service providers) may charge you for the use of the Wallet.
  8. The Wallet provider is solely responsible for the Wallet.
  9. Any information collected by a Wallet provider through your registration and use of the Wallet, including personal information, is subject to the Wallet provider’s terms and conditions and their data security and privacy policies - this is not governed by our data protection policy or General Terms and Conditions. We are not responsible for any loss you suffer in connection with a Wallet provider’s use of your information.
  10. We may need to share your personal information with the Wallet provider and any third party that provides information to the wallet provider and to us in respect of the wallet services. By using your Token through the Wallet, you are giving us consent to share information with these parties.
