Services
Currently we provide the following Services:
payments and fund transfers.
Our fees for the Services are provided in the , linked here and incorporated into these Terms.
Top-ups to your Account
Once your Account has been approved and activated, you may deposit funds into the Account by choosing the “Funding” or “Deposit” option in “Operations” and following the on-screen instructions.
You can deposit funds into your Account via a SEPA/SEPA instant transfer for EUR or CHAPS and BACS transfer for GBP, or any other method which Ultramarinex makes available to you from time to time.
Ultramarinex reserves the right, at its reasonable discretion, to establish limits on the funds that can be credited to your Account, including, but not limited to, measures to prevent fraud or manage credit risk. Such limitations are also in place to ensure compliance with legal obligations. Should you seek to raise your receiving limit, you are required to furnish Ultramarinex with any additional information that may be requested.
Payments and Fund Transfers
You can make a request to make a payment or a fund transfer by choosing the ‘Withdrawal’ option in “Operations” and following the on-screen instructions. You can withdraw your funds using the same payment methods available for depositing. You will be asked to enter the details of a recipient’s bank account. It is your responsibility to ensure the accurate entry of the recipient’s bank account details. Any inaccuracies in this information could lead to a failed or delayed transfer. Ultramarinex disclaims responsibility for any losses incurred as a result of incorrect recipient’s bank account details and will not be held liable.
Before confirming your request to proceed with the transaction, you will receive the following information:
the details of the recipient’s bank account;
the amount and currency of the funds you wish to transfer to the recipient;
the fees for the transaction (if any).
You will need to confirm the details of the transaction by means of a chosen two-factor authentication (e.g., SMS, e-mail, Google Authentication, or other method that may be offered by us from time to time).
Ultramarinex will put its best effort into executing the payment or the fund transfer in up to 2 days.
Currently you can only send EUR or GBP to recipients, which means that the recipient’s bank account shall also be in one of these currencies. Should the recipient's account operate in a different currency, additional costs may arise, and the original amount transferred may be subject to alteration based on the currency exchange practices of the recipient's bank. It is important to understand that Ultramarinex holds no control over and accepts no liability for any such adjustments.
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable law, you cannot cancel or withdraw your request to make a payment or a fund transfer after it has been initiated.
After the transfer is finalized, you can review the completed transaction in your Account's “Last transactions” that are accessible either through “Dashboard” or “Reports”. You may also download reports of your transactions (Account statement) in “Reports”.
Receive Fund Transfers
Upon receipt of funds into your Account, Ultramarinex will display the transfer in your “Last transactions” as soon as reasonably practicable.
Dormant Accounts
Should you leave any funds dormant in your Account without providing us with instructions on their disposition, we may, as mandated by Law, have to consider the funds as abandoned by you and transfer them to relevant government agencies. We will make reasonable efforts, as required by Law, to notify you if we hold funds owed to you in the Account beyond the specified dormancy period for abandoned property. In the event that we are unable to contact you, we will regard the funds in your Account as abandoned and forward them to the appropriate government authority.
