IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW CARD ASSOCIATED WITH A HAUSMONEY ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card associated with your Account. What this means for you: When you open a Card associated with Hausmoney Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
​
Definitions. (1) Our "Business Days" are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm CT, with the exception of any state or federal banking holidays. (2) "Account" means the account established by Hausmoney with Bank, and designated by Hausmoney to be associated with your Card. (3) "Card" means the Mastercard© debit card and any duplicates, renewals, or substitutions provided to you. (4) "Bank" means Lineage Bank or anyone to whom the Bank transfers this Agreement. (5) "You" and "your" mean the person whose name appears on the Card and who is authorized to use the Card as provided by this Agreement. (6) "We," "us," and "our" mean Hausmoney.

​
By using or authorizing any other person to use your Card, you acknowledge your understanding and agreement to the following terms and conditions:
​
1. Availability of Funds. Funds will become available to you via the Card after they have been received by the Bank. You may use your Card only to the extent that you have available funds. You access our mobile app to determine your current card account balance.
​
2. Activation. You must activate the Card before it can be used. You may activate the Card in the Hausmoney app. For your security, you will need to provide personal information to verify your identity and complete the activation process.
​
3. Personal Identification Number ("PIN"). When you activate your Card, you will choose a confidential PIN which will enable you to identify yourself when using your Card. Your PIN is a security feature that functions as your signature, identifying you as the proper user of the Card and authorizing any transaction that you make using the Card. If you voluntarily give your Card and/or PIN to another person, you have authorized said person(s) to use your Card and access your Funds, and you will be responsible for their use of your Card unless Hausmoney is otherwise notified and the PIN has been changed.
4. Card Services. We generally offer the following services to Cardholders ("Cardholder Services"):
​
a. Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") Services. You may use your Card at an ATM that bears the network logo(s) that appear on your Card to withdraw Funds or to inquire about the amount of Funds available to you. ATM owner-operators may impose their own fees and lower limits on cash withdrawals. All ATM transactions are treated as cash withdrawal transactions and subject to your daily cash withdrawal limit.
b. Merchant Services. You may use your Card to purchase goods and services at any retail or other establishment that displays the network logo that appears on your Card. You may use your PIN at any Point of Sale ("POS") device, as permissible by a merchant that bears PULSE® acceptance marks, and subject to your daily purchase limit.
​
5. Receipts. You should get a receipt at the time you use your Card at an ATM, or when you use your Card to purchase goods or services through a merchant. This would include printing proof of services/purchases with any internet merchants. Many disputes must have this documentation provided to be valid disputes.
​
6. Periodic Statements. Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, you will receive periodic statements from us. Your statement is available electronically in the Hausmoney app.
​
7. Electronic Communications. We may be required to provide certain disclosures, notices, and communications ("Communications") to you in written form. Pursuant to this Agreement, we will deliver Communications to you in electronic form. Your agreement to this Agreement confirms your ability and consent to receive Communications electronically, rather than in paper form.
​

By agreeing to this Agreement, you confirm that you are able to meet the foregoing requirements, and that you can receive, open, and print or save any Communications referenced in this Agreement for your records.
​
The following additional terms will apply to such electronic Communications: (1) you may contact Hausmoney to request another electronic copy of the electronic Communication without a fee; (2) you may contact Hausmoney to update your information used for electronic Communications or to withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications (NOTE that Hausmoney does not offer paper documents.

​
11. Using the Card. So long as you do not exceed the funds available in your Account, you may use the Card to purchase goods or services wherever the Card is honored, and to obtain cash by initiating cash withdrawal transactions through the Card from any financial institution or ATM that accepts the Card. Each time you use the Card, you authorize us to reduce the funds available in your Account by the amount of the purchase or withdrawal and any applicable fees, costs, or holdings. There is no credit line associated with your card. This means that at the time of the transaction you must have sufficient funds in your Account to pay for the transaction and you are never allowed to exceed the available balance in your Account. Nevertheless, if you exceed the available balance you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transactions and any applicable fees and charges. You can get a receipt at the time you initiate a transaction and should retain the receipt to verify your transactions.
​
12. Limitations on Use. Only one Card will be issued per Accountholder and only the person identified on the Card is authorized by Hausmoney to use it.

Do not have adequate funds available in your Account for the transaction; c. Do not enter the correct PIN; d. Exceed the frequency of use limitation.
You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or withdrawal originated through your Card. The following transaction, balance, and frequency of use limitations apply:
a. You are permitted to conduct POS purchases per day with an aggregate maximum spend amount of $2,500.00 per day.
b. You may not use the Card for any illegal or restricted transaction, including internet gambling services. If you authorize a transaction, the approval may result in a hold for the amount of the transaction for up to thirty days, even if you do not complete the purchase. A hold (which may be for more than the actual amount of the transaction) may also be placed by the merchant in connection with a hotel or car rental transaction.
​
THE CARD IS AND REMAINS THE PROPERTY OF THE ISSUER, IS NON-TRANSFERABLE AND, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, MAY BE CANCELED, REPOSSESSED OR REVOKED AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

​
14. Foreign Currency Transactions. You may or may not be able to make international transactions. Any purchase or withdrawal made in another currency will be converted to U.S. dollars by MasterCard©, according to an exchange rate selected by MasterCard© U.S.A. Inc. from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate MasterCard© itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.
15. Suspend, Cancellation, Renewal, and Replacement. You may suspend your Card at any time in the Hausmoney app. Suspending your Card prevents the use of the Card and will result in the decline of transactions attempting to be made with the Card.
