The Beneficiary of a Payment Transaction will be paid the full amount recorded in the Individual Payment Order, however the Beneficiary agrees that when RIA is acting as the Beneficiary’s payment service provider RIA may deduct its expenses from the amount transferred before paying it.

If the payment service provider of the Sender or Beneficiary is different from RIA, such payment service provider may charge fees and taxes associated with the Payment Transaction in accordance with the rules set out in relation between the Sender or the Beneficiary and his/her payment service provider.

In the event that three (3) months have elapsed since the receipt of funds for Payment Transactions without the payment order having been paid to the Beneficiary and the funds being returned to the Sender for reasons out of RIA´s control, RIA may charge a monthly fee against such funds for the purpose of compensating RIA for those reasonable costs incurred by RIA in connection with RIA´s efforts to reimburse the Sender the outstanding funds and RIA´s management of the funds while in its possession. The maximum fees applicable by RIA for those costs incurred by RIA as provided herein are set out in the fees table at the end of this General Information.

Information regarding the conditions on RIA´s provision of payment services, including Money Remittance, is provided free of charge to the Customer. However, RIA may pass on to the Customer the expenses caused by the revocation of Payment Transactions and those that arise from the recovery of funds for Payment Transactions with an incorrect Beneficiary’s bank account number provided by the Sender in the Individual Payment Order.

The exchange rates applicable, as the case may be, to the currency conversion implicit in the Individual Payment Order will be made available to Customers along with the commissions applicable to the Payment Transaction and will be accepted by the Customer with the signature of each Individual Payment Order.

SEVEN.- Consent, irrevocability and cancellation of Payment Transactions.

Consent:

The consent of the Sender to the execution of a Payment Transaction is provided by signing the corresponding Individual Payment Order.

Only after verifying that the Payment Transaction has not been paid at the destination country to a Beneficiary, RIA shall proceed with the cancellation of the Payment Transaction.

If a Payment Transaction is cancelled, RIA will reimburse the funds to the Sender through the agent, through its own RIA store/s or through a deposit into the Sender's bank account.

EIGHT.- Execution of payment transactions

8.1. Receiving Payment Transactions

The time of receipt of a Payment Transaction is the date on which the Individual Payment Order and the corresponding funds are received by RIA. If the time of receipt is not a Business Day for RIA, the Payment Transaction will be deemed to have been received the following Business Day.

RIA reserves the right to refuse the execution of a Payment Transaction where a provision of an individual contract, including the provisions of the terms & conditions in an Individual Payment Order, are not met, and also in situations specified by law, including:

a)    if, prior to the execution of a Payment Transaction, the Sender does not provide RIA with all funds, including when the Sender provides funds by card payment, where such payment instrument is accepted by RIA,

b)    if the Sender was unable or refused to provide the required information and/or documentation,

c)     in the cases specified in the provisions of law on the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing,

d)    in the event of RIA having reasonable grounds for suspecting that execution of Payment Transaction is the result of fraud, or

e)    when in accordance with applicable provisions of law, it requires additional verifications and prevents the immediate execution thereof

In the event that RIA rejects the execution of a Payment Transaction, it will notify the Sender of said refusal and, if possible, the reasons for it, as well as the procedure to rectify possible errors that led to such refusal, unless any applicable law or regulation prohibits such notification.

Payment Transactions rejected will not be considered as received for the purposes set out in Section 8.2 of this General Information.

8.2. Term of execution

8.2.1 Payment Transactions in which the Customer is the Sender

a)       In case of Payment Transactions made in the currency of one of the member states of the European Economic Area (EEA), where Beneficiary’s payment service provider is located within the EEA, RIA will ensure that the amount of the Payment Transaction is paid into the account of the Beneficiary's payment service provider at the latest, at the end of the Business Day following the time of receipt of the Payment Transaction order. These terms will be extended by one Business Day in the case of paper-initiated Payment Transactions.

b)       In case of Payment Transactions other than those indicated in point a) above the execution deadlines will depend on the Beneficiary's payment service provider, with RIA undertaking to pay the amount of the Payment Transaction into the account of the Beneficiary's payment service provider within a maximum period of four (4) Business Days from the receipt of the Remittance order.

8.2.2 Payment Transactions in which the Customer is the Beneficiary. In the case of Payment Transactions in which the Customer is the Beneficiary, RIA will make available the funds of the Payment Transaction no later than the Business Day on which the funds have been received by RIA.

8.2.3 Collecting the Payment Transaction by the Beneficiary

The Beneficiary can collect the amount of Payment Transaction within a period of not less than 21 days from the moment of execution of Payment Transaction. Within not more than 9 days of the expiry of that period, RIA shall recognize the amount of Payment Transaction as not collected by the Beneficiary about which RIA will inform the Sender via SMS. From the moment of informing the Sender about recognizing the amount of Payment Transaction as uncollected, the amount of Payment Transaction is made available to the Sender for return in any of the RIA facilities (including RIA´s agents’ facilities) serving clients in Portugal.

8.3. Safeguarding measures

In the event that funds received from Senders or received through another payment service provider to be paid to the Beneficiary are in RIA's possession at the end of the Business Day following the day they were received, they will be deposited in a separate account in a credit institution or will be invested in safe, liquid and low risk assets as established by applicable laws and regulations.

8.4 Staged Sending Service

RIA may make the Staged Sending Service available to those Senders who wish to use that service. By means of this service, Senders can use the RIA application (available for iOS and Android) to execute Payment Transactions in which the transaction is configured and subsequently, once the Payment Transaction is configured, is paid via cash or credit card on the same business day to an RIA agent who has available the Staged Sending Service.

In order to use the Staged Sending Service, Senders must, after downloading the RIA application, proceed to be registered in the application by providing the personal information required by RIA at any given moment. Said information may contain, among others, the Sender's name and surnames, email address, the Sender's nationality, date of birth, profession, recommendation code or telephone number. Furthermore, to initiate the configuration of any Staged Sending Service Payment Transaction through the RIA application, it will be necessary to furnish all the required details of the transaction as well as of those Beneficiaries to whom it is wished to send a money remittance, including but not limited to the country to which the funds will be sent, the Beneficiary's details (name, surnames, nationality and/or identification document etc.), the amount to be sent (in Euros), the amount to be received by the Beneficiary (in the designated local currency), the manner of receipt by the Beneficiary (which shall include those entities which can execute the payment to the designated Beneficiary in the country where the Beneficiary receives the funds) or the method of payment of the Payment Transaction by the Sender. The Sender may cancel the Payment Transaction during its configuration. On the basis of the information provided during the configuration of a Payment Transaction, RIA will indicate to the Sender the cost of the Payment Transaction prior to the Sender proceeding to the validation of the Payment Transaction.

During the registration process in the RIA application and the configuration of any Payment Transaction, RIA may require the Sender to verify the mobile device from which he/she is operating, by sending a SMS to the mobile phone furnished in order to be entered in the corresponding boxes provided by RIA within the application. In either event, prior to executing any Payment Transaction, the Sender must accept the privacy policy and the Terms and Conditions. RIA will save by default those Beneficiaries included by the Sender. Once the Payment Transaction has been configured and validated by RIA and the Sender, the latter will receive a barcode identifying the newly configured Payment Transaction. Subsequently, the Sender will be able to access the list of RIA agents in the application where he/she will be able to disburse the funds of the payment transaction. In either event, RIA will indicate to the Beneficiary the amount to be paid in the local currency and the amount to be received by the Beneficiary at destination, with a breakdown in the former instance of the costs of the Payment Transaction that RIA will charge the Sender. To execute the Payment Transaction, the Sender must visit an authorised RIA location of its agent network which provides the Staged Sending Service, show the barcode of the Payment Transaction and his/her valid and in force identification document in accordance with the applicable regulations at any given moment. Once the RIA agent validates all this information, the agent will confirm to the Sender that he/she may proceed to pay the Payment Transaction. Once paid, the Sender will receive a receipt for the Payment Transaction from the agent or will receive the receipt via the RIA application. In those cases where the agent so requests, the Sender must proceed to sign the Payment Transaction receipt. In those cases where RIA provides an electronic receipt, the Sender will not be required to sign a receipt and will only receive a cash receipt from RIA's agent and the Sender must access the RIA application if he/she wishes to access the Payment Transaction receipt. All Staged Sending Service Payment Transactions, once validated and consent granted via the RIA Application, must be paid on the same business day before 11.59 p.m. In the event that the Payment Transaction is not paid by the Beneficiary the transaction will be automatically cancelled. RIA recommends Senders to check the agent's opening hours prior to visiting an agent.

NINE.- Payment Transactions involving currency conversion and currency exchange services

RIA will make available to its Senders the currency exchange rates applicable to Payment Transactions. In any event, the exchange rates shall be communicated to Senders prior to the Sender´s acceptance to issue a Payment Transaction order and will be included in the Individual Payment Order that includes the settlement thereof.

Payment of the amount to the Beneficiary of the Payment Transaction ordered by the Sender will be made in the currency and through the payment method available through RIA (for example in cash or by crediting the Beneficiary´s bank account) as agreed between RIA and the Sender. If the Beneficiary agrees with its service provider to convert the pay-out amount into a different currency or change the payment method, such transaction shall be separate and apart from the Payment Transaction sent by RIA, and solely between the Beneficiary and its service provider.

TEN.- Payment Transactions not authorised, non-executed or executed defectively

When the Customer is aware that an unauthorised, non-executed or defectively executed Payment Transaction has taken place, it must communicate this fact without undue delay to RIA in order to proceed with the correction to RIA´s Customer Service contact details set out below in Section 13. The Customer may be required to provide information pertaining to the Payment Transaction and/or other information determined by RIA in accordance with applicable provisions of law for identification purposes.

Except in those cases in which RIA has not provided or made available to the Customer the information corresponding to the Payment Transaction, the communication referred to in the preceding section must occur within a maximum period of thirteen (13) months from the day on which a particular unauthorised or defectively executed Payment Transaction was executed or from the day on which a particular Payment Transaction was to have been executed or date of payment to the Beneficiary, as the case may be, of the amount of the Payment Transaction.

When RIA is acting as payment service provider of the Sender:

-          In case of an unauthorised Payment Transaction, RIA will immediately refund to the Sender the amount of the unauthorised Payment Transaction and in any event no later than by the end of the following Business Day, after noting or being notified of the transaction, except where RIA has reasonable grounds for suspecting fraud and communicates those grounds to the relevant national authority in writing.

-          In case of a defective execution or non-execution of the Payment Transaction for which RIA is liable, RIA will immediately refund to the Sender the amount of the defective or non-executed Payment Transaction.

When RIA is acting as the payment service provider of the Beneficiary and in case of a defective execution or non-execution of the Payment Transaction for which RIA is liable, RIA will immediately place the amount of the defective or non-executed Payment Transaction at the Beneficiary disposal.
