You may be presented with a number of different upload methods, depending on which payment instruments you have added to your SysPay Account and which payment methods are available in your country of residence. Upload methods are payment services provided by third party financial institutions (for example the issuer of the payment card you use to upload funds or third party direct banking service providers) and are not part of the SysPay service.

You agree not to cancel or otherwise reverse such recurring transactions by simply contacting the issuer of the payment instrument (e.g. your credit card provider or bank). In order to cancel the recurring payments for the future, you should (a) contact SysPay and (b) notify the merchant from which you have purchased the goods or services that you have cancelled the recurring payment. You can also ask us to refund any past recurring payment provided that (a) the original authorization given to us or the merchant did not specify the exact amount of the payment and (b) the amount of the payment exceeded the amount that you could reasonably have expected taking into account your previous spending pattern and the circumstances of the case. You must request such a refund within eight weeks from the date the funds were debited to your SysPay account.
  5. If a chargeback or reversal of an upload transaction results in a due amount balance, you will be required to repay such due amount by uploading sufficient funds into your Account.

  9. Uploads may be subject to upload limits due to security and legal requirements. These limits are set dynamically depending on your verification status and the upload method you want to use.

SysPay does not guarantee the availability of any particular withdrawal method and may make available, make changes to or discontinue a particular withdrawal method at any time as long as there is at least one withdrawal method available to you. Where the withdrawal payment is received by you through the involvement of a payment service provider (such as the bank where you hold a bank account), SysPay shall not be responsible for the withdrawal payment once the withdrawn funds are received by your payment service provider nor for the fees your payment provider may apply to the transaction.
  2. Your Account is subject to withdrawal limits. These limits are adjusted dynamically depending on the type of identification documentation we hold on you. You can view your withdrawal limits at any time in yourAccount profile. Before uploading any funds into your Account, you must ensure that your current withdrawal and spending limits meet your withdrawal and spending requirements as we legally cannot allow you to exceed these limits.
  3. If your withdrawal request exceeds the current limit, we may decline your request and instead require you to send us documents verifying your identity and address prior to allowing a withdrawal of funds or to otherwise cooperate with us to verify your identity.
  4. Withdrawals are subject to withdrawal fees and currency conversion depending on which withdrawal method and payment instrument is chosen. Please see our fee schedule for more details.
  5. For the purposes of a withdrawal transaction, SysPay is a payer and not a payment service provider.
  6. You must not make a withdrawal to a bank account or other payment instrument if you are not the named holder. We take any violation of this requirement very seriously and will treat any attempt to use a payment instrument of which you are not the named holder as a fraudulent act. Without prejudice to claiming further damages, if we are required to investigate an upload from a payment instrument that is not in your name, we may charge an administration fee as described in our fee schedule.
  7. You must ensure that the payment details you enter when withdrawing funds are correct and complete. SysPay will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong payment instrument where this is due to you providing incorrect payment details. When withdrawing to a bank account, you must ensure that the account number, sort code, IBAN and/or BIC/SWIFT are correct. If you have withdrawn funds to the wrong payment instrument, you may request that we assist you in reclaiming the funds, however, we will charge you an administration fee of 25 EUR for doing so and we cannot guarantee that the reclaim efforts will be successful.

Complaints and communications

  3. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the relationship between us shall be governed by Maltese law. For complaints that cannot be resolved otherwise, you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Maltese courts arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the provision of our Services without prejudice to your right to also initiate a proceeding against SysPay in that context before the competent courts of and in Malta. In simple terms, "nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Maltese courts" means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from this Agreement against us in Court, an acceptable court would be a court located in Malta, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead. Maltese law will apply in all cases.

The appointing authority and administrator shall be the Malta Arbitration Centre, and one arbitrator shall be appointed in such disputes.

If you make a payment from your SysPay Account denominated in one currency to a SysPay Account denominated in another currency, you will be asked to either make the payment in the currency of your own Account or in any other currency. If you chose the currency of your own Account, then the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of his or her Account. If you chose the currency of the recipient's Account, you will pay the fee for the currency conversion into the currency of the payment. If you chose a currency that is neither the currency of your own Account nor the currency of the recipient's Account then you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of the payment, and the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion of the payment currency into the currency of his or her Account.

  5. Our Fees are either expressed as a percentage of the transaction or as a fixed amount in EUR. Where fixed fee amounts are displayed in a currency other than EUR, this is for information purposes only. If fees are deducted from a balance or a transaction denominated in a different currency, the EUR fee amount will be converted into an equivalent fee in that other currency based on the conversion rate applicable at the time and then deducted.
  6. Fees payable by you will be deducted from your SysPay Account balance. Transaction fees will be charged when the transaction is executed. If your Account balance is insufficient to cover the fees we may refuse to execute the payment. Reversal or chargeback fees will be deducted when incurred.
