Payments

General

8.1 Your Account Terms explain how payments into and out of your account work. The section below contains information on Pay Your Contacts, which is a payment service that is specific to Mobile banking and therefore isn't included in your Account Terms.

8.2 When you make a payment through Mobile banking we'll make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. If we can't use the Faster Payments Service we'll advise you of alternative ways to make the payment.

Pay Your Contacts

8.3 Pay Your Contacts allows you to send money to a third party from your personal account by using the payee’s mobile phone number rather than their account number and sort code.

8.4 You can use this service to make payments to anyone who has registered to use Pay Your Contacts in the app.

8.5 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:

  • the mobile phone number of the payee (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
  • the amount of the payment in pounds sterling.

You're responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

8.6 When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment, this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.

8.7 We’ll send the payment to the account that the payee has registered to accept Pay Your Contacts payments.

8.8 Once you've asked us to make a payment you won't be able to cancel it. If you realise you've given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must inform us as soon as possible by contacting us on 0345 366 7003 or +44 2381 244181 from outside the UK. Where possible we'll try to recover the payment, but might not be able to do so. We'll not be liable to you if we're unable to stop a payment in these circumstances.

8.9 We'll notify you within the App if we're unable to make a payment.

8.10 There's a daily limit and an individual transaction limit on payments sent using Pay Your Contacts. Details of these limits are available in our FAQs.

8.11 You can register to receive Pay Your Contacts payments in the App. You'll need to confirm your mobile number and select an eligible account to link to your mobile number.

Deposit a Cheque

9.1 The ”Deposit a Cheque” function allows you to pay a cheque into your account by capturing and uploading images of it through the App.

9.2 Only cheques in pounds sterling can be paid into your account using this service. Certain types of cheques can’t be paid in using this service, including Eurocheques, Traveller Cheques, Giro Credits and Convenience Cheques. More information can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.

9.3 When you pay a cheque into your account before 6pm, the money will be in your account before 11:59pm the next business day at the latest. If you pay a cheque into your account after 6pm or on a non-business day, this process will begin on the next business day.

9.4 You must keep a paper copy of your cheque until the funds are showing as “available” in your account.

9.5 There are some circumstances where your cheque may not be accepted. These will be explained to you when you’re using the service and full information can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.

9.6 If your cheque is not accepted you can take it to a branch. Where information is missing from your cheque you may be asked to request a new cheque or alternate method of payment from the payer.

9.7 There are limits on the individual value and total daily value of cheques that you can deposit.  These will be shown to you in the App when you use the service and can also be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.  These limits may vary from time to time.

9.8 You will not be charged for paying a cheque into your personal account. If you are paying a cheque into your business account, you will be charged in accordance with our standard Business Banking Tariff Sheet.

Charges

10. We don't currently charge you for Mobile banking. However, your mobile phone network operator may charge you when using Mobile banking and these charges may vary if you use your mobile phone to access Mobile banking when abroad.

Our liability

11. We won't be liable to refund you for any losses caused by circumstances beyond our control (i.e. the situation was abnormal or unforeseeable), for example, due to extreme weather, terrorist activity or industrial action.

Variation / termination

12.1 You’re free to cancel Mobile Banking at any time. If you’d like to do this, please call us on 0345 366 7003 or +44 2381 244181 from outside the UK or contact us on our webchat service at www.iombank.com and delete the App from your mobile device(s).

12.2 If you haven't used the App for 6 months your Mobile banking access will be deactivated automatically and you'll have to re-register in order to use Mobile banking again.

12.3 We may suspend, restrict or end your use of Mobile banking or any part of it where:

  • we reasonably believe that your security details haven't been kept safe;
  • we reasonably suspect that your security details have been used fraudulently or without your permission;
  • as a result of a change in the way you use your account(s) or in your financial circumstances, we reasonably believe that you may have difficulty in meeting your commitments;
  • we believe it's appropriate in order to protect your account(s);
  • you've broken any of the Licence Terms set out below.

We'll tell you before taking any of these steps and we'll explain why we've done so, unless we're unable to contact you or there's a legal reason or other circumstance beyond our control that stops us from doing so. If we can't get hold of you beforehand, we'll (where possible) tell you and explain our reasons afterwards.

12.4 We can also end your use of Mobile banking or remove the App by giving you at least 60 days' notice.

12.5 If we have a valid reason for doing so, we may change the terms of our agreement with you (which may include introducing charges for Mobile Banking). If we need to update the Terms to introduce a new feature into the App, which does not change the Terms relating to any existing features, we may do so immediately and will tell you as soon as we can afterwards. If we make any other change to the Terms, we’ll give you at least 60 days’ notice before it takes effect.  We’ll tell you about any changes by:

  • notifying you within the App;
  • sending a text message (to the mobile phone number you gave us);
  • sending an email (to the email address you gave us);
  • delivering a secure message to online banking; or
  • sending you notice by post.

We'll assume that you've accepted the changes unless you uninstall the App or tell us that you'd like to cancel Mobile banking before the change takes effect.
