in Austin, Texas. Ouro is an Independent Sales Organization pursuant to
an agreement with the Issuer. “You” and “your” mean the person(s) who
have received the Card and are authorized to use the Card as provided
for in this Agreement. “Cardholder” and “Primary Cardholder” refer
to the person who submits an initial request for the Card. “Secondary

request of the Primary Cardholder and are authorized to use the Card
as provided for in the section labeled “Authorized Users/Secondary

or loading your Card Account, you agree to be bound by the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement, including the Inactivity

below in the section labeled “Virtual Account.” The Card is a prepaid
card. The Card is not a gift card, nor is it intended to be used for gifting
purposes. The Card is not a credit card. The Card is not for resale. You

2. OPENING A CARD ACCOUNT (IDENTITY
VERIFICATION); REGISTRATION/ACTIVATION
You will need to provide personal information in order for us to verify
your identity and the identity of any Secondary Cardholder (“Register”).
Both the Primary Cardholder and Secondary Cardholder, if applicable,
must Register and activate the Card before it can be used. To be eligible
to activate your Card Account as a Primary Cardholder, you represent
and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) the personal
information that you provide to us is true, correct, and complete; and (c)
you have read this Agreement and agree to be bound by, and comply
with, its terms.
Online Registration Required: You will be required to sign up for online
access and Register and activate your initial Card via the mobile app
or online at [Link]. You will be required to provide a valid
email address and consent to delivery of electronic communications in
order to process the Registration and activation of your Card Account.
Important information for opening a Card Account: To help the federal
government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, the USA PATRIOT Act requires us to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: When you open a Card Account, we
will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and your government ID
number. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying
information. Card activation and identity verification are required before
you can use the Card Account. If your identity is partially verified or if you
do not register your Card, full use of the Card Account will be restricted,
but you may be able to use the Card for purchase transactions and
telephone balance inquiries. Restrictions include no ATM withdrawals,
international transactions, account-to-account transfers, additional loads,
or the general use of the Card Account or any of its features until your
register the Card. Use of Card Account is also subject to fraud prevention
restrictions at any time, with or without notice. Residents of the State of
Vermont are ineligible to open a Card Account.
You may Register and activate your Card by visiting the OAC . You must
set a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) to activate your Card (see the
section labeled “Personal Identification Number”). If you do not Register
and activate your Card and your Card Account remains inactive for sixty
(60) days after it is first loaded, we will begin to assess the Inactivity Fee
listed in the Fee Schedule.
After your Card Account is opened, we may again ask to see a copy of
your driver’s license or other identifying documents at any time if we
deem it necessary to verify your identity, address, or transactions on
your Card Account. Additionally, use of certain Card Account features or
services may be subject to additional identity verification requirements.
These measures are specifically designed to help us protect your identity
and identify possible fraud on your Card Account. If we ask for specific
identifying documents, we will have the right to immediately close or
suspend your Card Account if those specific documents are not provided.
Pathward, N.A., will act as custodian of your funds upon its receipt of
your funds. Once you activate your Card, you will be able to provide
Pathward, N.A., as custodian, with instructions about the funds accessible
through your Card Account. Activation of your Card authorizes us to
hold your funds at Pathward, N.A., or as custodian to place your funds at
one or more participating FDIC-insured banks (each a “Program Bank”).
Visit [Link]/programbanks to find the most up-to-date
list of Program Banks. If you do not agree to your funds being held by
us at Pathward, N.A., or placed by Pathward, N.A., as custodian at other
Program Banks, please immediately transfer or spend all the funds in
your Card Account or contact Customer Service above to cancel your
Card Account and request your funds in the form of a paper check at no
charge.
Your funds are eligible for deposit insurance up to the applicable limits
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). In the event the
FDIC were to be appointed as a receiver for Pathward, N.A., or a Program
Bank, your funds, aggregated with any other funds you have on deposit
at such institution, would be eligible to be insured up to $250,000 for
each legal category of account ownership, subject to compliance with
FDIC deposit insurance requirements. You are responsible for monitoring
the total amount of all direct or indirect deposits held by you or for you
with Pathward, N.A., and the Program Banks for purposes of monitoring
the amount of your funds eligible for coverage by FDIC insurance.
To assist with calculating your FDIC deposit insurance coverage,
the FDIC has an Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator available
at [Link] For more information, see also
[Link]
3. DEDUCTION OF FEES
All of the fees associated with your Card Account are listed in the Fee
Schedule. All fee amounts will be withdrawn from your Card Account,
except where prohibited by law. NOTE: Fees assessed to your Card
Account balance may be collected in partial or in full, and may bring
your Card Account balance negative if your Card Account balance is
less than the fee amount being assessed or if your Card Account balance
is already negative. If that occurs, any subsequent deposits or loads into
your Card Account will first be applied to the negative balance.
Refund Policy: The Card Purchase Fee is not refundable. Please call
Customer Service with questions about our refund policy.
4. BUSINESS DAYS
Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays,
even if we are open. Any references to “days” found in this Agreement are
calendar days unless indicated otherwise.
6. AUTHORIZED USERS/
SECONDARY CARDHOLDERS
You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees
incurred by use of your Card Account. If you permit another person
to have access to your Card Account, we will treat this as if you have
authorized such use and you will be liable for all transactions and fees
incurred by those persons.
The Primary Cardholder may add an authorized Secondary Cardholder to
the Card Account and may request an additional Card embossed in the
name of the Secondary Cardholder. The maximum number of Secondary
Cardholders is two (2). Any transactions initiated by the Secondary
Cardholder are subject to the limits described in this Agreement and
to the fees on the fee plan selected by the Primary Cardholder. The
Secondary Cardholder may not request a Virtual Account, Digital Card,
or initiate transfers to another Cardholder or Card Account. The Primary
Cardholder is liable for any and all usage of the Card Account by any
Secondary Cardholder you authorize.
You must not share or provide your Card Account details to any person.
You must notify us immediately in the event you revoke permission for
any person you previously authorized to use your Card Account, including
any Secondary Cardholders, so that we may take appropriate action for
the protection of your funds, up to and including cancelling your Card or
closing your Card Account. You are wholly responsible for the use of the
Card Account according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
7. PERSONALIZED CARDS
For Cards acquired inside a retail location: (1) The Card included with
the initial card package materials will not have your name on it. Once you
activate the Card, it will be activated under the name you provide at the
time of activation and can be used to make transactions anywhere Visa
Debit Cards are accepted. (2) You may receive a Card with your name
printed on the front (a “personalized Card”). If you do not automatically
receive a personalized Card, or request one during activation, you
may request your initial personalized Card for no fee by calling
1-737-220-8967.
For Cards not acquired at a retail location: The Card included with the
initial card package materials will be a personalized Card.
You, and any Secondary Cardholder, must activate and Register a Card
before it can be used (see the section labeled “Opening a Card Account
(Identity Verification); Registration/Activation”).
There may be a fee for shipping additional or replacement Cards
requested after your initial personalized Card has been activated. See the
Fee Schedule for more information about the fees.
9. CASH ACCESS
With your PIN, and upon successful Registration, you may use your
Card to obtain cash from any ATM or any POS device, as permissible
by a Merchant, bearing the Visa, Plus, or PULSE acceptance mark. ATM
transactions are treated as cash withdrawal transactions. Any cash
withdrawn from an ATM terminal, POS device, or through a participating
bank or Netspend Reload Network location (an “Over-the-Counter Cash
Withdrawal”), will be subject to the limitations set forth in the section
below labeled “Using Your Card Account/Limitations.” ATM withdrawals
may also be subject to varying daily limits at the ATM owner’s discretion.
A fee may be associated with the use of your Card to obtain cash. See the
Fee Schedule for more information about the fee.

and transfers
between your
Card and a third
party
Each time you use your Card Account, you authorize us to reduce the
value available in your Card Account by the amount of the transaction
and any applicable fees. You may not exceed the available amount in your
Card Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions
– unless we decide, in our sole discretion, to approve such transaction(s)
because you have qualified for Purchase Cushion coverage. If you do
not qualify for the Purchase Cushion (as defined in more detail below),
and any transaction(s) exceeds the balance of the funds available in your
Card Account, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the
transaction(s) and any applicable transaction fee(s). You agree to pay
us promptly for the negative balance. If you have not added sufficient
funds to your Card Account to cover the negative balance within sixty
(60) days of its creation, we have the right to cancel your Card Account.
Additionally, we have the right to pursue collection, including the right
to collect funds, equal to or less than the negative balance, from any
other Card Account(s) you may have with us. In all instances described
above, loads to your Card Account may be made via direct deposit or any
of the other load methods described in this Agreement.
If you do not have enough funds available in your Card Account, you
can instruct the Merchant to charge a part of the purchase to the Card
and pay the remaining amount with cash or another card. These are
called “split transactions.” Some Merchants do not allow cardholders to
conduct split transactions. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it
is permitted by the Merchant, you must tell the Merchant to charge only
the exact amount of funds available in your Card Account to the Card. You
must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method.
Some Merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash.
If you fail to inform the Merchant that you would like to complete a split
transaction prior to swiping your Card, your Card is likely to be declined.
If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”),
the Merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount up to $100.00
or more. If your Card is declined, even though you have sufficient funds
available, you should pay for your purchase inside with the cashier. If
you use your Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or
for similar purchases, the Merchant may preauthorize the transaction
amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% more to ensure there
are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred.
Any preauthorized amount will result in the placement of a “hold” on
your available funds until the Merchant sends us the final payment
amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received,
the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed and replaced by the
actual amount of your purchase. If we do not receive the final payment
amount, the preauthorized amount on hold will remain in place for
thirty (30) days. During a hold period, you will not have access to the
preauthorized amount.
If you use your Card Number without presenting your Card (such as for
a mail order, telephone, or internet purchase), the legal effect will be the
same as if you used the Card itself.
You may not use your Card Number or the Issuer’s routing number and
your assigned Account Number in connection with the creation and/or
negotiation of any financial instruments, such as checks, which we have
not authorized.
Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may not use your Card
Account for illegal online gambling or any other illegal transaction.
You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment
transaction originated by use of your Card Account, except as otherwise
permitted in this Agreement. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to
make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold
(see the section labeled “Returns and Refunds,” in addition to previous
information addressed in this section).
If your Card Account has not had any activity for sixty (60) days, we will
begin to assess the Inactivity Fee listed in the Fee Schedule.
Non-Visa Debit Transactions
Procedures are in effect that may impact you when you use your Card at
certain merchant locations. In the past, transactions have been processed
as Visa debit transactions unless you entered a PIN. Now, if you do
not enter a PIN, transactions may be processed as either a Visa debit
transaction or as a PULSE transaction.
Merchants are responsible for and must provide you with a clear way
of choosing to make a Visa debit transaction if they support the option.
Please be advised that, should you choose to use the PULSE network
when making a transaction without a PIN, different terms may apply.
Certain protections and rights applicable ONLY to Visa debit transactions
as described in this Agreement will NOT apply to transactions processed
on the PULSE network. Please refer to the paragraph labeled “Your
Liability for Unauthorized Transfers” for a description of these rights and
protections applicable to Visa debit and non-Visa debit transactions.
To initiate a Visa debit transaction at the POS, swipe your Card through
a POS terminal, sign the receipt, or provide your Card number for a
mail order, telephone, or internet purchase. To initiate a non-Visa debit
transaction at the POS, enter your PIN at the POS terminal or provide
your Card number after clearly indicating a preference to route your
transaction as a non-Visa debit transaction for certain bill payment, mail
order, telephone, or internet purchases.
18 CARD REPLACEMENT
If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact us at
1-737-220-8967 to request a replacement Card. You will be required
to provide personal information that may include your Card Number,
full name, transaction history, and similar information to help us verify
your identity. There may be a fee for replacing your Card. See the Fee
Schedule for more information about the fee.
20. RECEIPTS
You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your
Card Account. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions
and receipts.
22. CONFIDENTIALITY
We may disclose information to third parties about your Card Account or
the transactions you make:
1) Where it is necessary for completing transactions;
2) In order to verify the existence and condition of your Card Account
for a third party, such as a Merchant;
3) In order to comply with government agency or court orders or other
legal reporting requirements;
4) If you give us your written permission;
5) To our employees, auditors, affiliates, service providers, or
attorneys, as needed; or
6) As otherwise necessary to fulfill our obligations under
this Agreement.
23. OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE
TRANSACTIONS
If we do not properly complete a transaction to or from your Card
Account on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement
with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are
some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
1) If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in
your Card Account to complete the transaction;
2) If a Merchant refuses to accept your Card or access device;
3) If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not
have enough cash;
4) If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does
not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you
initiated the transaction;
5) If access to your Card Account has been blocked after you reported
your Card or access device lost or stolen;
6) If there is a hold or your funds are subject to legal process or other
encumbrance restricting their use;
7) If we have reason to believe the requested transaction
is unauthorized;
8) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer
or communications failure) prevent the completion of the transaction,
despite reasonable precautions that we have taken;
9) If we block, suspend, or close your Card Account as a result of our
reasonable suspicion of fraudulent, suspicious, or criminal activity or
activity that is inconsistent with this Agreement;
10) If we have requested documents to verify your identity, address, or
transactions on your Card Account, and you have not provided all
such requested documents; or
11) Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or
question in writing within ten (10) business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business
days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we
need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to
investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will
provisionally credit your Card Account within ten (10) business days for
the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during
the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your
complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10)
business days, we may not provisionally credit your Card Account.
For errors involving transactions to or from the Card Account within thirty
(30) days after the first load to the account was made (“New Accounts”),
POS transactions, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to
ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For New
Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to provisionally
credit your Card Account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing
the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send
you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents
that we used in our investigation. If you need more information about
our error-resolution procedures, call us at 1-737-220-8967 or visit
[Link] or the mobile app.
Warning Regarding Unverified Prepaid Accounts
It is important to Register your Card Account as soon as possible. Until
you Register your Card Account and we verify your identity, we are
not required to research or resolve any errors regarding your Card
Account. To Register your Card Account, go to [Link], the
mobile app, or call us at 1-737-220-8967. We will ask you for identifying
information about yourself (including your full name, address, date of
birth, and government-issued identification number) so that we can verify
your identity (see the section labeled “Opening a Card Account (Identity
Verification); Registration/Activation”).
For disputes concerning the condition or receipt of goods or services
you purchased, we are not required to provide provisional credit or to
finalize the claim during the periods stated above.
26. MISCELLANEOUS
Your Card Account and your obligations under this Agreement may not
be assigned. We may transfer our rights under this Agreement. Use of
your Card Account is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any
clearinghouse or other network or association involved in transactions.
We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any
time. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid
or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation of any governmental
agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement will be
governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota except to the extent
governed by federal law.

Mechanisms like requiring identity verification during Card activation, limitations on cash access, and strong rules for ACH deposits are designed to protect against unauthorized use. These measures help to ensure that only authorized individuals can manage and operate the Card Account, thereby safeguarding the funds loaded .
The arbitration clause requires that disputes be resolved through arbitration rather than court litigation, promoting faster and potentially less costly resolution processes. It restricts cardholders' ability to engage in class action lawsuits, reducing the potential liability for the issuer and mandating individual dispute handling .
The agreement includes a clause that allows words and phrases to be construed in such a way that the singular includes the plural and vice versa, ensuring flexibility and broader applicability of terms to account for different scenarios regarding cardholder relationships and responsibilities .
Opting out of the Arbitration Clause does not impact the other provisions of the agreement, allowing a cardholder to retain usual legal rights with respect to court hearings and jury trials for disputes, thereby not affecting their obligations or benefits under the remaining agreement terms .
A cardholder might not bear additional fees under certain conditions, such as if they act in good faith and are unable to secure fee waivers. The issuer commits to paying fees as required by law, signaling a commitment to accessibility and fairness in the arbitration process, potentially reducing the financial burden on cardholders .
The agreement explicitly states that the Card is a prepaid card, not a credit card, gift card, or intended for business use, which impacts its functionality and usage. It is not linked to any checking or savings accounts and cannot accrue interest, limiting its use to the prepaid value loaded onto it. This distinction helps to regulate usage and manage user expectations .
To become a Primary or Secondary Cardholder, an individual must be capable of lawfully entering into and forming contracts under applicable state law. This implies that the person must be of legal age and possess the requisite mental capacity to engage in contractual agreements, impacting their ability to manage and be held accountable for agreements made using the card .
