The Virtual Account allows Authorized Users to access funds allocated to the Virtual Account by the Business Administrator, subject to the limitations established by the Business Administrator or Teampay in accordance with the Teampay Agreement. Neither the Business Account nor a Virtual Account constitutes a checking or savings account. The Virtual Account is not a gift card, nor is it intended to be used for gifting purposes. The Virtual Account is not a credit card. Business Account Owner will not receive any interest on the funds in the Business Account or any Virtual Account. The Virtual Account will remain the property of the Bank. The Virtual Account cannot be redeemed for cash. The Virtual Account is nontransferable and may be canceled or revoked at any time without prior notice except as required by law. The Bank may, in its sole discretion, limit the number of Virtual Accounts that may be issued on behalf of the Business Account Owner. The Business Administrator shall have full power and agrees to administer the Business Account and each Virtual Account only as described in this Agreement and as duly authorized by the Business Account Owner. The Business Administrator will be authorized to limit or restrict the activity on all Virtual Accounts with or without the consent of any Authorized User. The Business Administrator will also be authorized to make changes to the Virtual Account with or without the consent of any Authorized User. The Business Account Owner is the owner of all funds in the Business Account and those funds allocated to any Virtual Account at all times and each Authorized User agrees that the Virtual Account shall only be used as authorized by the Business Account Owner. Business Account Owner acknowledges and agrees that the value available in the Business Account and any Virtual Account is limited to the funds that have been added to the Business Account or allocated to any Virtual Account pursuant to these Terms. The funds in the Business Account and associated with any Virtual Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), for up to the maximum amount as published by the FDIC.
- Funding of the Business Account. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Business Administrator may only add funds to the Business Account as described in this Section 5.4. Business Administrator may not add funds to the Business Account by sending personal checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders to the Bank.

- Bank Account Transfer. Business Administrator may authorize us to electronically debit Business Account Owner’s designated deposit account at Business Account Owner’s designated U.S. depository financial institution (“Bank Account”) via the Automated Clearinghouse Network (“ACH”) for a specified amount on a one-time or recurring basis and add such amount to the Business Account. Business Administrator may provide such authorization and Business Account Owner’s Bank Account information via the Website. Amounts debited from the Bank Account will be added to the Business Account and available for allocation to the Virtual Accounts generally within three business days of when we receive the authorization and all required consents and information.

- Establishing Virtual Account Settings. Only funds in the Business Account may be allocated to a Virtual Account and accessed utilizing a Virtual Account. A Business Administrator may establish certain limits (“Settings”) for each Virtual Account and the allocated Virtual Account through the Website. Authorized Users will not be permitted to establish or modify the Settings. For example, a Business Administrator may establish Settings that limit the amount of funds that may be allocated to a Virtual Account or the amount of transactions that may be performed with a Virtual Account in a day or month. A Business Administrator may change the Settings from time to time via the Website without an Authorized User’s consent. New Settings and changes to existing Settings will be effective only after we have a reasonable period of time to process the new settings or changes.
- Cancellation and Suspension. In addition to and without limiting our rights under this Agreement, a Business Administrator may suspend or cancel a Virtual Account at any time by changing the Settings on the Website (See Section 5.5 above). Upon the suspension or cancellation of a Virtual Account, the Authorized User may no longer be able to use the Virtual Account or the associated Virtual Account.
- Transaction Requirements. Transactions approved and processed with the Virtual Account may only be used to purchase goods and services for business purposes only and not for personal, family or household purposes.
- Authorized User Eligibility and Consents. Prior to distributing a Virtual Account to an Authorized User, Business Account Owner shall be responsible for ensuring that each Authorized User (i) is a United States citizen or permanent resident of at least 18 years of age (or older if residing in a state where the majority age is older); (ii) agrees to the Bank’s Privacy Policy; (iii) agrees to the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) provides or agrees that a Business Administrator may provide all requested information, such as the Authorized User’s name, email address, and such other information as we may request from time to time (collectively, ” User Information“). Authorized User represents and warrants that all information, including User Information, provided to us or to Business Account Owner (to provide to us) from time to time is truthful, accurate, current, and complete. Authorized User agrees to promptly notify us in writing of changes to any User Information. When a Business Administrator notifies us to revoke such permission, we will close the Virtual Account and Authorized User may no longer use the Virtual Account.
- Revocation of Business Administrator Privileges. Business Account Owner must notify Customer Service via e-mail at support@teampay.co to revoke permission for any Business Administrator to administer the Business Account and Virtual Account(s). Any revocation of such permission will be effective only after we have a reasonable period of time to process Business Account Owner’s withdrawal.
- Revocation of Authorized User Privileges. A Business Administrator must modify the Settings on the Teampay Website or notify Customer Service via e-mail at support@teampay.co to revoke permission for an Authorized User to use the Virtual Account. Any revocation of such permission will be effective only after we have a reasonable period of time to process Business Account Owner’s withdrawal.
- Activating A Virtual Account. A Business Administrator must activate a Virtual Account before it can be used by completing the registration process for the Business as set forth in the Teampay terms of service located at www.teampay.co/legal/terms. A Business Administrator must agree to the Teampay Agreement to activate a Virtual Account (See Section 2 above).
- Fees. The fee schedule located at the end of this Agreement lists the fees applicable to the Program. In some cases, the actual fee charged may be lower than the fee stated in the fee schedule. The fee schedule is subject to change upon 30 days prior notice. If you believe a fee was charged in error, contact Customer Service at support@teampay.co.
- Choosing A PIN. When an Authorized User is prompted by a merchant for the first time to input a PIN when using the Virtual Account, any four-digit code will work as the initial PIN for the first PIN-based transaction. After the first PIN-based transaction, the Authorized User must use the same PIN for each subsequent PIN-based transaction, unless and until the Authorized User chooses to reset the PIN as described below in “Resetting The PIN”. Choose a PIN that is easily remembered.
- Resetting The PIN. If an Authorized User needs to reset the Virtual Account’s PIN, please contact Customer Service at support@teampay.co. By visiting this website, an Authorized User can have the Virtual Account’s PIN deactivated, the Authorized User will be required to provide information about the Virtual Account to reset the PIN. The Authorized User may then select a new four-digit PIN during the next PIN-based transaction at a merchant’s POS device
- Virtual Account and PIN Security. When selecting a PIN for Virtual Accounts, a Business Administrator and Authorized Users should not use numbers or words that appear in their wallets (e.g., their date of birth, address, or social security number). Authorized Users must memorize their PINS and not share them with anyone. Do not write the PIN on a Virtual Account or keep it in the same location as the Virtual Account. Authorized Users should treat the Virtual Account with the same care as cash. Always protect the Virtual Account and keep it in a safe place. Do not send a Virtual Account or PIN number in an email or text message. Make sure Virtual Account and Access Information is secured with encryption when used to perform transactions over the Internet or wireless networks.
- Lost or Stolen Virtual Account, Compromised PIN or Unauthorized Access to Business Account. The Virtual Account is a commercial Virtual Account and does not provide consumer protections for lost or stolen Virtual Accounts or unauthorized transactions. Treat the Virtual Account like cash. Until a Business Administrator or Authorized User reports a Virtual Account as lost or stolen or reports an unauthorized transaction on a Business Account or Virtual Account, Business Account Owner is fully responsible for all transactions, even if the Virtual Account is lost, stolen or used for unauthorized transactions. Contact Customer Service IMMEDIATELY if a Business Administrator or Authorized User believes: (a) a Virtual Account has been lost or stolen, (b) someone has gained unauthorized access to any Access Information, or (c) someone has transferred or may transfer funds from the Business Account or a Virtual Account without a Business Administrator’s or Authorized User’s permission. Reporting a lost/stolen Virtual Account or unauthorized transactions through support@teampay.co or by logging into the Website to deactivate the Virtual Account is the best way to minimize possible losses. Unless we have authorized a transaction after a Business Account or Virtual Account is blocked (see Section – Our Liability to Business Account Owner), Business Account Owner and Authorized User are responsible for all unauthorized transactions initiated and fees incurred from the unauthorized use of a Virtual Account. Failure to promptly notify us could result in the Business Account Owner losing ALL of the money in the Business Account and the associated Virtual Accounts.
- Using A Virtual Account. Virtual Accounts may not be used for ATM cash withdrawals and may not be used for Business payroll payments. Authorized User may use a Virtual Account to make purchases at any merchant that accepts Visa debit cards or debit cards of other networks in which the Bank participates, subject to the available Virtual Account balance, the transaction limits and transaction restrictions outlined below, and the other terms and condition of this Agreement. If Authorized User uses a Virtual Account number without presenting the Virtual Account (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if Authorized User used the Virtual Account itself. Each time Authorized User uses a Virtual Account, Business Account Owner and Authorized User authorizes us to reduce the value available in the Virtual Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. Authorized User is not allowed to exceed the amount of the available funds in the Business Account or allocated to his or her Virtual Account, whichever is less, through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the amount of available funds in the Business Account or allocated to an Authorized User’s Virtual Account, Business Account Owner will be fully liable to us for the full amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. We may refuse to process a transaction, or temporarily “freeze” a Virtual Account and attempt to contact a Business Administrator if we notice transactions that are unusual or appear suspicious, or use of the Virtual Account that are not consistent with its intended use.
- Merchant Holds on Available Funds. When Authorized User uses a Virtual Account or Virtual Account number to initiate a transaction at certain merchant locations, such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and rental car companies, where the final purchase amount is unknown at the time of authorization, a hold may be placed on the available funds in the Virtual Account for an amount equal to or in excess of the final transaction amount. The funds subject to the hold will not be available to Business Account Owner or Authorized User for any other purpose until the merchant sends us the final transaction amount. Once we receive the final transaction amount, it may take up to seven days for the hold to be removed. During that period, Business Account Owner and Authorized User will not have access to the funds subject to the hold.
- Difficulty Using Virtual Account. Please be advised that Authorized User may experience difficulties using a Virtual Account at point of sale at physical retail locations, unattended vending machines, kiosks, and gas station pumps. If a Virtual Account is declined at a “pay at the pump” gas station even though Authorized User has sufficient funds available, Authorized User should pay for the purchase inside with the cashier.
- Transaction Limits. The maximum amount that can be spent using the Virtual Account is limited to lower of: (a) the limits set by a Business Administrator (b) limits set forth by the Bank, and (c) limits set by Teampay in accordance with the Teampay Agreement. The Bank’s limits are: (1) maximum $200k that can be spent every rolling 30 days using a Virtual Account. In order to protect the Virtual Account, we may temporarily impose limits on the dollar amount, number, and type of transactions performed using a Virtual Account and the Virtual Account. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to: (a) change the transaction limits; (b) limit, block, or place a hold on certain types of transfers or transactions: and (c) limit, suspend, or block transfers from particular persons, entities, or Virtual Accounts.
- Transaction Restrictions. Authorized User may not use a Virtual Account for online gambling or illegal transactions. A Business Administrator may restrict transactions (a) based on Merchant Category Code or Merchant ID, (b) purchases originating outside of the United States, or (c) purchases made to sellers outside of the United States. We may refuse to process any transaction we believe violates the terms of this Agreement.
- Responsibility for Authorized Transactions. Business Account Owner is responsible for all transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of a Virtual Account. If a Business Administrator or an Authorized User permit another person to have access to a Virtual Account or Virtual Account number, we will treat this as if the Business Administrator has authorized such person to use the Virtual Account, and Business Account Owner will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by such person, even if they exceed the authorization granted. Business Account Owner will further be responsible for any transactions made and any fees incurred by the Authorized User even if the Authorized User exceeds the scope of the authority granted to such Authorized User by Business Account Owner. If a Business Administrator wants to withdraw permission for an Authorized User to use a Card, then Transactions made with the Card will be considered unauthorized only after a Business Administrator notifies us that the person is no longer authorized to use the Virtual Account.
- Virtual Account Balance. It is important to know the amount of available funds in the Virtual Account before performing a transaction with a Virtual Account. If there are not sufficient funds in the Virtual Account to cover the transaction amount, the transaction will be declined. If Authorized User does not have sufficient funds in the Virtual Account, Authorized User can request that the merchant charge a part of the purchase to the Virtual Account and pay the remaining amount with cash or another Virtual Account. These are called “split transactions.” Some merchants do not allow Virtual Accountholders to conduct split transactions. Business Account Owner and Authorized User acknowledges and agrees that the funds available to perform transactions are limited to the available funds that have been added to the Virtual Account that are not subject to a hold. Authorized User is not authorized to use any funds added to the Virtual Account in error. Any transaction that could create a negative balance for the Business Account or a Virtual Account is not permitted, but may occur in limited circumstances. Adjustments may be made to the Virtual Account to reverse an error, reflect a merchant adjustment, or resolve a dispute regarding a transaction posted to the Virtual Account. These processing and adjustment entries could cause the Business Account or Virtual Account to have a negative balance. If a Business Account or Virtual Account has a negative balance, Business Account Owner and Authorized User agrees: (a) that the balance of Business Account can be adjusted to reflect that amount; (b) that we may automatically apply any subsequent deposits to the Business Account to satisfy the negative balance and (c) to pay us on demand by a personal check, money order, or other payment method authorized by us for the amount of the negative balance. If no future funds are added to the Virtual Account, we may send Business Account Owner a notice explaining the reason for the adjustment and requesting payment by a personal check, money order, or other payment method to satisfy the negative balance. Payments should be mailed to us at the address provided below or the address stated in the applicable notice.
- Transaction History. A Business Administrator may obtain information about the available funds in the Business Account or a Virtual Account and a 60-day history of the Virtual Account transactions on the Teampay Website.
- Account Alerts. If a Business Administrator and Authorized User provide email addresses to us, we will send the Business Administrator and Authorized User important notices via email about the Virtual Account. In addition, if a Business Administrator and Authorized User provide mobile phone number or other text message addresses to us, the Business Administrator and Authorized User expressly consent to receive text messages relating to the Virtual Account at that number or address. The Business Administrator and Authorized User may change the frequency of notifications at any time by updating their notification setting on the website. Third-party data and message fees may apply.
- Transactions in Foreign Currencies. If an Authorized User makes a purchase using the Virtual Card in a currency other than in U.S. dollars, the amount deducted from the available funds in the Virtual Account will be converted by Visa into U.S. dollars. The applicable exchange rate will be selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate. The exchange rate used on the central processing date may be different than the rate that was in effect on the date you performed the transaction. For each foreign currency transaction, the Bank may assess a foreign currency conversion fee and will retain this amount as compensation for its services. Please refer to the fee schedule below for the current foreign currency transaction fee.
- Receipts. Authorized User should get a receipt for each Virtual Account transaction. Authorized User agrees to retain, verify, and reconcile Virtual Account transactions and receipts.
- Refunds and Disputes. Authorized User will not receive cash refunds for Virtual Account transactions. If a merchant gives Authorized User a credit for merchandise returns or adjustments, the merchant may do so by processing a credit adjustment, which we will credit to the available funds in the Virtual Account. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspects of goods or services that Authorized User purchases with a Virtual Account. All such disputes must be addressed and handled directly with the merchant from whom those goods or services were purchased.
- Privacy Policy. Business Account Owner’s, Business Administrator’s and Authorized Users’ privacy is very important to us. We may disclose information to third parties about Business Account Owner, and any Business Administrator, and Authorized User, Virtual Account and Virtual Account, and transactions related thereto: (a) as necessary to effect, administer, or enforce a transaction requested or authorized by a Business Administrator or Authorized User; (b) with Business Account Owner’s, Business Administrator’s, or relevant Authorized User’s consent; (c) to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud, unauthorized transactions, or other liability; (d) to comply with government agency or court orders; (e) as permitted and required by applicable law; and (f) as otherwise provided in Bank’s Privacy Policy. Business Account Owner, Business Administrator, and Authorized Users understand that by participating in the Program, Business Account Owner, Business Administrator, and Authorized Users consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of Business Account Owner, Business Administrator, and Authorized Users’ information as set forth in these Terms and Bank’s Privacy Policy available on the Teampay Website.
- Replacement Virtual Accounts. The expiration date of your Virtual Account will be sent to the Authorized User with the Virtual Account number. If there is a positive balance of funds in the Virtual Account upon expiration of a Virtual Account and the Virtual Account is in good standing, we may issue Authorized User a new Virtual Account. We may also issue Authorized User a new Virtual Account when the Virtual Account expires even if there are no funds in the Virtual Account. If Authorized User needs to replace a Virtual Account for any reason, please contact a Business Administrator, who should contact Customer Service. The Business Administrator will need to provide certain User Information so we can verify their identity.
- Our Liability to Business Account Owner. If we do not complete an electronic fund transfer to or from a Virtual Account on time or in the correct amount according to these Terms, we may be liable to Business Account Owner for the losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable if: (a) through no fault of ours, Authorized User does not have enough available funds in the Virtual Account to perform the transaction; (b) circumstances beyond our reasonable control (such as fire, flood, water damage, power failure, strike, labor dispute, computer breakdown, telephone line disruption, or natural disaster) prevent or delay the transfer despite reasonable precautions taken by us; (c) the system, or point-of-sale terminal was not working properly and a Business Administrator or Authorized User knew about the problem when Authorized User initiated the transaction; (d) the funds in the Virtual Account are subject to legal process or are otherwise not available for transactions; (e) the merchant refuses to accept a Virtual Account; (f) if access to a Virtual Account has been blocked after a Business Administrator or Authorized User reported a Virtual Account lost or stolen; or (g) if we have reason to believe the transaction is unauthorized.
