• We’ve updated section 19 in line with a change that will take effect from 19 April. We’ll provide additional information on the cost to you of using your Pingit device or card abroad, including how you can find information to allow you to compare our exchange rates with those offered by retailers or ATM providers when making a transaction or withdrawing cash

If you're a new user, these Pingit terms apply from the date you register and accept the terms and conditions in the Pingit app.

If you're already using Pingit, these changes apply from the date you accept the terms and conditions within the Pingit app. You accept these changes by continuing to use the Pingit app. If you’re not happy with these changes, you can cancel your registration or delete the Pingit app.

You can read a copy of the latest terms and conditions in the Pingit app, and we recommend you download and store a copy of the revised terms once you have signed them.

4.6To use Pingit you'll need to download the App. You can find further details on how to do this on the Website.

4.7When you register to use the App, we'll link the App to your nominated account or Pingit Account.

4.9If we need to, we can refuse to register you for Pingit.

5.PINGIT ACCOUNT

5.1The Pingit Account is an electronic money account which can be used to make or receive payments through the App. You can only operate your Pingit Account in conjunction with your use of the App.

5.2You need to know that the Pingit Account is an electronic money product and therefore:

• it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS")
• it is a zero interest account
• in respect of money held in your Pingit Account, as a regulated credit institution Barclays Bank UK PLC is required to comply with capital and prudential requirements imposed by law. These requirements are designed to ensure the safety of funds held with us, and this is monitored by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

5.3When we set up your Pingit Account, we'll verify your identity and address using details we collect during the registration process. This will involve one or more credit reference agency checks of your details against the particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access. The credit reference agency will keep a record of this check which may be used to help other companies verify your identity. This will not affect your credit rating.

5.4You can top up or fund your Pingit Account:

• by direct transfer (for example using Online Banking) from any of your other UK, Isle of Man, Jersey or Guernsey bank accounts
• by standing order
• using a debit card linked to your current account;
• by setting up a scheduled top-up or low balance top-up; or
• by any other means about which we advise you from time to time

5.5Limits apply to the amount you can top up using a debit card. We'll tell you in the App how much you can top up and if you've exceeded your limit.

5.6You can ask us to return the money in your Pingit Account at any time by using the App to transfer funds to the bank account you registered when opening your account. No fee will be charged for redeeming the funds. In certain circumstances we may carry out additional security checks before processing the transaction.

5.7You can choose to unlock your Pingit Account to access additional services. We'll tell you the steps you need to take to do this in the App. You don't have to unlock Pingit but if you don't we won't offer you the full range of services offered by Pingit, and we may place limits on how you can use Pingit. You'll find details of these limits on pingit.com/pingit-limits/.

5.8If you choose not to unlock your Pingit Account, if you breach any of the applicable limits, we'll need to suspend your use of the Pingit Account. We'll tell you in the App if we've suspended your Pingit Account and explain the steps you need to take so that we can unblock your Pingit Account.

6.USING THE APP

6.1In addition to the conditions below, the conditions relating to online banking set out in the General Terms apply in relation to your use of the App.

• if we reasonably consider it necessary to protect the security of Pingit or your account
• if we suspect or you tell us there may be unauthorised or fraudulent use of Pingit or your account
• if we believe there's a significant increased risk or you will be unable to repay money you owe us; and
• if we are required to do so by law

6.3If we find we need to do this we'll contact you using the details you have given us as soon as we can (and in advance where possible) to explain why, unless that would break the law or it would compromise our security measures.

6.4Once the reason for stopping or suspending the App no longer applies (which may require you to carry out instructions we give you), we'll unblock the App

6.5You must only use the App as set out in these terms or in information on our Website or within the App.

6.6The App may utilise or include third party software and copyrighted material or may be subject to an open source license or other licence. Acknowledgements, licensing terms and disclaimers for such third party software and copyrighted material are set out in the Pingit Software Terms and Conditions available from the Website.

6.8You must not share any image unless you have the consent to share it from anyone appearing in the image.

6.9You must not use the App to upload or store inappropriate or illegal images or content that breaches the rights of others.

6.10You must not attempt to make any income directly from using the App.

6.11You must not use the App to do anything illegal.

7.INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

7.1Barclays is committed to protecting your personal data. We will use your information for a number of different purposes, for example, to manage your account(s), to provide our products and services to you and others and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. We may also share your information with our trusted 3rd parties for these purposes. For more detailed information on how and why we use your information, including the rights in relation to your personal data, and our legal grounds for using it, please go to Barclays.co.uk/control-your-data or you can request a copy from us.

7.2If you use Pingit to send or receive money and pay individuals, businesses or charities in the UK or abroad, we will disclose your full name and mobile number when processing your requests or will display this information in messages sent to your payees or people paying you using Pingit. This information is drawn from records that we already hold about your account and may be different to any names, nicknames or other pseudonyms you are known by or use when registering for Pingit.

7.3If you make a payment to a business, we may disclose your name and account details to enable the business to reconcile and/or apply the payment.

7.4If you use the Siri payments feature, we will share limited data with Apple so that Siri can understand when you ask to make a payment, and can access payment details for the person you have asked to pay. Please see Apple's privacy notice for details of how Apple uses your information. You can find the notice within your Siri device settings. You can opt out of Siri access in your device settings at any time.

7.5If you are registering an account you hold with another bank, we will use any information you provide to us in connection with receiving payments only for the purposes of administering those payments and to contact you about Pingit including sending you text messages about promotions relating to Pingit.

7.6When you register for Pingit, we'll sync the App with your address book by accessing your contacts, storing your phone numbers and contact details and indicating (for example by displaying an icon next to a contact's name) if the contact is registered for Pingit. By doing this we enable:

• you to see if your contacts are registered for Pingit should you wish to pay them using Pingit
• other Pingit users to see which of their contacts are registered for Pingit should they wish to pay them using Pingit (for example by displaying an icon next to a contact's name).

7.7By registering for Pingit you consent to your registration being visible to other Pingit users. If you do not want your registration to be visible to others using this feature, you will have to de-register from Pingit.

7.8If you request a Pingit card we'll share your name and address details with our third party card issuer so that they can dispatch the Pingit card to you.

8.HOW WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER INFORMATION

8.1Pingit uses cookies and similar technologies when you first register, and to check that it's you when you're using the App. By using Pingit, you accept how and when we use cookies – as set out below.

8.2Cookies also help us improve how the App works. We use cookies to collect information about how you use the App, for example which areas you use most often and if you receive any error messages. We can then 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.

8.3We need these cookies for Pingit to work – if you don't want them, you'll have to delete the App.

8.4If you use certain features, the App will need to access information on your mobile phone to work. If we can, we'll 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 mobile phone (for iOS), or by uninstalling the App (for Android). You can also use the usage settings in the App to do this. If you don't do this, we'll assume you agree that the App can access your device or information.

8.5The App may also need to cache data on your device to enable certain features (such as the caching of recent payee data to enable use of the Pingit Keyboard). We'll ask you before the App accesses your device or information, and you can decline. Where we are unable to ask your permission (such as the iOS Force Touch and iMessage keyboard features which cache recent payee data automatically when present on your device) you'll need to use the device settings to disable these.

8.6If you launch the Pingit Keyboard (a custom keyboard) a cache of your recent payees on your device will be displayed and will be visible to you and anyone else with access to your device. If you don't want this to happen, please don't enable or use the Pingit Keyboard.

9.USING LOCATION DATA

9.1Certain services (including the branch finder) will make use of location data sent from your mobile phone. You can turn off this functionality at any time by turning off the location services settings for the App on your mobile device.

9.2Access to maps is subject to separate terms, details of which can be found on the Website.

10.KEEPING US INFORMED

10.1If your account details, mobile phone number, address or any other information about you changes, tell us straight away.

11.SECURITY

11.1In addition to the conditions below, the conditions relating to payment instruments set out in the General Terms apply to your use of Pingit and the App.

11.2Always keep your mobile phone secure and close the App if you're not using it.

11.3If you suspect that someone else knows your passcode or other security details you must contact us immediately by calling us on the number available on the Website. If you don't let us know, we may not pay you back if someone takes money from your account because they knew your account details.

11.4We 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 straight away on 0800 400 100 (outside the UK dial +44 (0)2476 842 099).

11.5Some devices allow you to use your fingerprint or Face IDs for logging into the App. If you enable this feature, then anyone whose fingerprint or Face ID is registered on your phone may be able to log into the app and access your accounts. Before enabling this feature, 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. You must not activate this feature if you allow other people to access your phone using their fingerprint or Face ID.

11.6Don't install or use the App on a jail-broken or rooted device. These have had their security features changed in order to work, which makes them less secure, and means that fraudsters could access your phone and steal your information or money.

11.7If you hold a Barclays account linked to Pingit, you can give your security details to authorised companies that require your security information to provide account information services (a service that allows you to see your accounts with different providers in one place) and payment initiation services (a service that allows a third party to instruct us to make payments from your account on your behalf). When we say "authorised" we mean a company that is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority or another European regulator to provide the relevant service. In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority's register (available at register.fca.org.uk) will tell you whether a company is authorised. You should always consider the implications of sharing our security credentials and your personal information.

12.CONTACTING YOU

12.1We will contact you from time to time about Pingit, including marketing messages relating to Pingit. We'll do this electronically, for example by email, text, notifications or other messages on the App or mobile device or by telephone or post.

12.2We and other Barclays Group companies may contact you with information about our products and services (and those of specially selected parties) that may be of interest to you, in line with your marketing contact preferences provided to us either through the App or elsewhere. All such communications will come from Barclays. We will never pass your information to a third party for them to use in their own direct marketing without your consent.

12.3You may tell us at any time if you do not wish to receive marketing messages from us by contacting us as set out in your General Terms or by following any instructions we may include in the message we send to you. For example, a STOP message will appear at the foot of marketing text messages we send you.

13.IF THINGS GO WRONG

13.1The General Terms explain when you can claim back from us if something goes wrong with a payment.

13.2There are some things that we're not responsible for because, for example, they're out of our control or they relate to how your mobile phone works. So we can't be responsible if you lose money because:

13.2.1you are unable to access or use Pingit for any reason or it's slow.

13.2.2any device, hardware or software you use with the App is damaged or corrupted or doesn't work

13.2.3Pingit does not work as you expect, doesn't meet your requirements or contains errors or defects or we fail to correct these

13.2.4you don't receive a text or message in the app in a timely manner

13.2.5you sent, received or shared an inappropriate or illegal image or content or breached the rights of another person; or

13.2.6we're prevented from providing any service in part or in full because of something a third party does.

15.RECEIVING PAYMENTS

15.1In addition to the conditions below, the General Terms apply if you use Pingit to receive payments.

15.2To receive payments sent using Pingit you must have:

• a valid UK mobile number; and
• a UK bank account which can receive payments through Faster Payments

15.3Alternatively, if you have a Barclays account but do not have a mobile phone that supports Pingit, or if you just want to receive, but not send, Pingit payments, you can register to do so using the Website.

15.4If a payment is sent to you but you are not yet registered for Pingit or Paym, we'll send the payer a unique website address which they can share with you. The website will ask you to verify yourself through the use of a code sent to your mobile phone number. Once verification is complete, we'll ask you to provide your name and bank account details. We'll make the payment once we receive those details.

15.5If you don't collect the payment within 7 days we'll cancel your ability to collect the payment.

15.6Any payments you receive from Pingit users will be paid into your nominated Barclays account or Pingit Account as applicable.

15.8If you receive any payments by mistake, you must tell us as soon as possible and return the payment to us.

15.9If you receive a payment by mistake, we can authorise the bank holding your account to debit that account and return the amount of the payment to us. If the bank is unable to do this, you agree that we can disclose your details to the payer so that they can take action to recover the mistaken payment.

15.10Once you have registered, we'll send the payment to your nominated account or Pingit account. In doing this we are acting as payment service provider for the payer and are not providing any service directly to you, unless your account is held with us.

15.11We may make changes to these conditions, and how other Pingit users can make payments to you, and can end your ability to receive payments through the service, at any time without first notifying you of those changes.

15.12You must not generate, distribute, or offer to any person, any code or reference for use with the App unless you have our prior written permission to do so.

15.13When you register to receive mobile payments, we'll share your full name and mobile number with Pingit or other service we tell you about. This means other users of these services will be able to see your name and mobile number. This information is drawn from records that we already hold about your account and may be different to any names, nicknames or other pseudonyms you are known by or use when registering for Pingit.

16.PAYM

16.1Paym is a service offered by the Mobile Payments Services Company Limited, which lets you link your mobile number with your bank account so you can send or receive money using a mobile phone. There's more information on the Paym website paym.co.uk.

16.2You can register with Barclays to receive Paym payments. If you have the App, you can also send payments to other customers registered for Paym.

16.3The General Terms apply to your registration and use of Paym.

16.4Before you can receive payments using Paym you must register and match your mobile number with your nominated account or your Pingit Account. You can only associate one mobile number with a bank account. If you've already registered an account from another bank or building society, you'll need to de-register this before you can register with your nominated account.

16.5By registering for Paym, you agree that we will use and share the information you've provided, including:

• your mobile number

16.9Limits apply – please check the Website for details.

16.10When you instruct us to make a payment using a mobile, we will try to send the payment via Pingit. If your payee is not registered for Pingit we will try to send the money using Paym.

16.11Once you have registered, any money sent to you using Paym will be paid into your nominated account or Pingit Account.

16.12By registering for Paym, you confirm that you are the intended recipient of the money sent to you using Paym. If you receive any payments by mistake, you must tell us as soon as possible and return the payment to us.

16.13.1we reasonably believe your registration has or is likely to have been compromised

16.13.2we suspect any fraud in respect to your registration or account; or

16.13.3your account is closed or switched.

17.PINGIT ACCEPTANCE MARK

17.1If you are a business customer you may download a Pingit acceptance mark from the Website and use it to indicate that you accept Pingit payments from your customers.

17.2You acknowledge that the Pingit acceptance mark is a trade mark of Barclays and by downloading or using it you agree to comply with all guidelines and conditions we publish on using the acceptance mark and not to interfere with or challenge our rights to the acceptance mark or do anything that may bring Barclays or the trade mark any harm or disrepute.

17.3All use that you make of the acceptance mark will be for the benefit of Barclays and you acknowledge that we may at our sole option withdraw the acceptance mark from use at any time.

18.PINGIT JARS

18.1Pingit Jars allows you to manage your money by placing funds into one or more electronic money accounts, enabling you to ring fence funds for a particular purpose. You can top up your Jar from another account or debit card, move money between Jars and send payments or transfer money from your Jar.

18.2In addition to these conditions, the General Terms apply if you use Pingit Jars to make and receive payments. These are the Terms and Conditions for Personal customers and you can find them at barclays.co.uk/rca.

18.3You need to know that Pingit Jars is an electronic money product and therefore:

• it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS")
• it is a zero interest account
• in respect of money held in your Jars, as a regulated credit institution Barclays Bank UK PLC is required to comply with capital and prudential requirements imposed by law. These requirements are designed to ensure the safety of funds held with us, and this is monitored by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

18.4We can refuse to register you for Pingit Jars or cancel the service after giving you notice in accordance with the General Terms.

18.5To use Pingit Jars you must have a UK personal current bank account registered to Pingit and be a resident of the UK, Isle of Man, Jersey or Guernsey.

18.6Customers who have registered for Pingit with a Barclays Mortgage Current Account are not eligible to use Pingit Jars.

18.7Pingit Jars must not be used for business and are not available to business account customers.

18.8If you have a Pingit Account, you'll need to fully unlock Pingit before you can use Pingit Jars. We'll prompt you to do this if you request to open a Jar.

18.9You can open one or more Jars but there's a limit to the number of Jars you can have at any one time. For details please see the Website.

18.10You can choose the name for each Jar you open and can rename a Jar at any time in the App. We won't allow you to use certain names, for example if you have called another Jar the same name, or if you use profanities in the name.

18.11Only UK sterling funds can be held in a Jar. If someone makes a non-sterling payment to a Jar you hold, we'll convert the funds into sterling and credit your account as set out in the General Terms.

18.12You can't hold a Jar jointly with someone else. If you're a joint account holder, you'll be able to view and manage the Jars you have set up yourself in the App. Other parties to your joint account won't be able to view your Jars, and similarly you won't be able to view any Jars set up by other parties to your joint account.

18.13You can top up or fund a Jar by:

• direct transfer (for example using Online or Telephone banking) from any of your other bank accounts
• receiving payments directly from a third party
• transferring funds from another of your Jars (if you have set up more than one)
• transferring funds from your nominated Barclays account or Pingit Account
• using a debit card you've linked to the Jar;
• setting up a scheduled top-up or a low balance top-up utilising funds either:
• by using a debit card you've linked to the Jar; or
• from your nominated Barclays account or Pingit Account
• setting up a standing order; or
• by any other means about which we advise you from time to time

18.14Limits apply to the amount you can top up using a debit card. We'll tell you in the App how much you can top up and if you've exceeded your limit.

18.15If you set up a scheduled top-up you must confirm to us the amount by which you’d like to top up and how frequently you’d like us to carry out the top-up. If you set up a low balance top-up you must confirm to us the amount by which you’d like to top up and the low balance threshold which, if reached, will trigger an automatic top-up of the Jar.

18.16We’ll make the scheduled or low balance top-up automatically in line with your instructions until either:

• you cancel the top-up; or
• we cancel the top-up in line with condition 18.20 or 18.21 below

18.17You can cancel a scheduled or low balance top-up at any time until we make the top-up in line with your instructions.

18.18 For low balance top-ups, you must ensure you have sufficient available funds in your bank account to cover any low balance top-up automatically triggered, otherwise your top-up may fail for lack of funds or you may be charged overdraft or emergency borrowing fees in line with any arrangement you have with us or your bank if you do not hold a Barclays account.

18.19For scheduled top-ups, you must ensure you have sufficient available funds in your bank account the day before and on the day the top-up is scheduled, otherwise your top-up may fail for lack of funds or you may be charged overdraft or emergency borrowing fees in line with any arrangement you have with us or your bank if you do not hold a Barclays account.

18.20If a scheduled or low balance top-up fails because you don’t have enough money for the top-up, we’ll cancel the top-up and stop any further top-ups being made.

19.PINGIT DEVICES AND CARDS

19.1A Pingit device ("Pingit device") is a pre-paid device which provides you with payment capabilities including point of sale and online payments. You can buy Pingit devices online, via selected partners or via the Pingit e-store. A Pingit card ("Pingit card") is a pre-paid card which you can request via the App and use to make payments, including point of sale and online payments.

19.2Pingit devices are issued by Barclays pursuant to licence by Visa Europe Limited.

19.3In addition to these conditions, the General Terms apply if you use a Pingit device or a Pingit card to make payments.

19.6Pingit devices and Pingit cards must not be used for business and are not available to business account customers.

19.7Subject to 19.5 and 19.6 you can request a Pingit card via the App – you'll find instructions in the App how to do this. There's no charge for a Pingit card.

19.8We can refuse to activate your Pingit device or refuse to issue you with a Pingit card.

19.9Limits apply to the number of Pingit devices and cards you can hold, based on the type of account you have and whether you have fully unlocked Pingit. Please see the FAQs on the Website for details.

19.10If you are not already a Pingit user, once you have purchased your Pingit device you'll need to download the App and register for Pingit. Once you have downloaded the App, please follow the instructions in the App to activate your Pingit device.

19.11As part of activating your Pingit device or requesting your Pingit card, you'll need to link it to either:

• your Pingit Account (if you have one); or
• a Pingit Jar

19.12You can move your Pingit device or Pingit card to another Jar or a Pingit Account at any time after you've first activated your device or received your card. It's not possible to link a Pingit device or Pingit card to more than one Jar, or to a Jar and a Pingit Account, at the same time.

19.13When activating your Pingit device or requesting your Pingit card we may ask you to provide additional security information. Please refer to section 7 of these terms and conditions for information as to how we may use your information.

19.14The General Terms apply to your use of Pingit devices and Pingit cards as we treat these as payment tools under the General Terms. Please refer to the General Terms to understand what a payment tool is and the steps you should take to keep your payment tools and your account(s) secure.

19.15You must not give your Pingit device or Pingit card to someone else or let someone else use them.

19.16You must not resell the Pingit device to a different person.

19.17Once you have registered your Pingit device or received your Pingit card you can make payments for an amount up to the available balance of funds held in the Jar or Pingit Account to which you’ve linked your Pingit device or Pingit card.

19.18You can use your Pingit device within and outside the UK to make payments using the following transaction types:

• contactless
• purchases made online or via telephone

19.19You can use your Pingit card within and outside the UK to make payments using the following transaction types:

• contactless
• chip & PIN
• magnetic stripe
• purchases made online or via telephone
• ATM withdrawals

19.20To make online or telephone transactions you'll need your 16 digit number, expiry date and CVV (Security code) details, as well as meeting any additional security requirements as required by us. You can view your details in the App.

19.21Limits and restrictions apply to the use of your Pingit device or Pingit card – please see the Website/FAQs for details.

19.22If you use your Pingit device or Pingit card outside the UK and/or make a payment in a currency other than sterling, your card payment will be converted into sterling by Visa using the reference exchange rate on the day it processes the transaction. As this may be a day or two later, the rate may be different on that day.

19.23We also set and charge a 2.75% Non-Sterling Transaction Fee when making purchases, making a cash withdrawal, or when being refunded. As we explain in the General Terms, our exchange rate is made up of the Visa card scheme reference exchange rate plus the Non-Sterling Transaction Fee.

19.24From 19 April you’ll find a comparison of our exchange rate for certain currencies as a mark-up against the rate published by the European Central Bank at the following website www.barclays.co.uk/travel/using-debit-card-abroad/. This is updated twice a day.

19.25In some countries the ATM or the card terminal being used may offer you the option of seeing the payment amount or withdrawal in sterling, and allow you to choose to pay or withdraw a currency amount equivalent to that amount in sterling. The exchange rates used for this will generally be provided by the operator of the terminal or ATM, so won’t be under our control. If you’re in the EU when you’re offered this option, from 19 April the operator of the terminal or ATM will provide you with an exchange rate as a mark-up over the ECB rate.

19.26You can use this information, and the information available on the website mentioned above to help you decide whether you want to let the operator of the terminal or ATM undertake the conversion using their rate or whether you’d like us to undertake the conversion using our rate. If you’d like us to convert the amount, you should choose to pay in, or withdraw, local currency and not sterling.

19.27We may prevent or limit use of your Pingit device or Pingit card if we reasonably consider it necessary for the reasons set out in the General Terms.

19.28We will not be liable if you cannot use your Pingit device or Pingit card because a retailer refuses to accept it or you have damaged it.

19.29If a refund is made for any transaction you made using your Pingit device or Pingit card, the refund will be paid into the Jar or Pingit Account linked to the Pingit device or Pingit card at the time of processing the refund. Please note this may be a different Jar or Pingit Account from the one from which you made the transaction.

19.30If we credit you for the amount of an unauthorised or disputed transaction, we'll credit the Jar or Pingit Account from which the transaction originated.

19.31If a pending authorisation is made against your Pingit Account or Jar, the subsequent authorisation will debit the Pingit Account or Jar to which the Pingit device or Pingit card was linked when the transaction was made.

19.32You can select an active Pingit device or Pingit card and "freeze" it in the App to temporarily prevent it being used.

19.33If you freeze a Pingit device or Pingit card:

• you won't be able to make payments or withdraw money using the Pingit device or Pingit card
• this won't affect any Continuous Payment Authority you have set up. A Continuous Payment Authority ("CPA") is where you have given a retailer permission to regularly take money from your Pingit device or Pingit card. Payments will continue to be made under the CPA even if you've frozen your Pingit device or Pingit card
• you can continue to make payments from a Pingit Account or Pingit Jar linked to a Pingit device or Pingit card using the App

19.34You can select a frozen device or Pingit card in the App and "unfreeze" it to reinstate your Pingit device or Pingit card to enable you to make payments.

19.35Each Pingit device works on a chip which has an expiry date. You can view your expiry date within the App. When the chip expires we won't issue a new chip.

19.36When your Pingit card expires we'll issue you with a new card.

19.37We may send you another Pingit device or chip as a replacement or an extra Pingit device at any time. There may be a charge for any replacement or reissued Pingit devices or chips.

19.38If you report a Pingit device or Pingit card lost or stolen in the App you'll then have the option to remove the device or card from the App. You can also contact us to request your Pingit device or Pingit card is removed from the App. Please note that once your Pingit device or Pingit card has been removed from the App you won't be able to use it to make payments or reactivate it.

19.39If you cancel your Pingit registration, you won't be able to continue using your Pingit device or Pingit card to make payments. If you reregister for Pingit, if you previously had an activated Pingit device or Pingit card the device or card will be reactivated for you.

19.40If you delete the App without cancelling your Pingit registration, you'll be able to make payments using your Pingit device or Pingit card but you won't be able to view details of those transactions or top up your Pingit Account or Jar using the App.
