SCHEDULE B: CARDHOLDER TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms and Conditions for using the Allgo Mastercard gift Card, including all potential cardholder charges, are published on the dedicated cardholder website allgogiftcard.com. See https://www.allgogiftcard.com/tsandcs

SCHEDULE C: SECURITY OF FUNDS

The Allgo Mastercard is an e-money product, and is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. The card is issued under licence from EML Money DAC, a fully licenced e-money operator.

Security of funds on Allgo Mastercard Gift Cards is ensured through the use of a segregated card settlement bank account. Once loaded, card funds are held in a segregated settlement account in Bank of Ireland. Funds in this account can only be accessed to pay for card transactions and to pay Allgo for order charges and card fees

Card funds are therefore completely segregated from both Allgo’s and EML’s bank accounts.
