- Our Money Transfer services;
- Our Digital Money Account (including redeeming electronic money and paying the proceeds of redemption to yourself or another person);
- Our Multi-Currency Digital Wallet service and/or

Money Transfer services
Relating to money transfer services, NALA allows you to store funds in your mobile wallet and to transmit or receive payments with other NALA customers. You can make payments from the funds you hold in your (i) digital wallet, (ii) your linked bank account, or (iii) your linked debit / credit card. Your bank account, debit or credit card must be registered in the UK or [Europe/EEA] as applicable. You can also receive payments into your account.
Digital Money Account
Relating to your digital wallet, this is a function which stores E-money in a non-interest bearing account maintained by us for you, and which provides such features as we may make available from time to time. These features may include (without limitation) the ability to:
- load E-money into your digital wallet in one or more currencies (see below),
- see the balance of E-money held in your digital wallets,
- denominate E-money in the different currencies we make available in the digital wallet(s) from time to time;
- give instructions for E-money to be transferred to another person's digital wallet,
- redeem E-money and transfer the proceeds either to yourself or to another recipient,
- buy Airtime Top Up with the proceeds of E-money and transfer this either to yourself or to another recipient.
See section 6 below for further information about the status of E-money in your account.
Multi-currency digital wallet
E-money may be held in any currencies which we support from time to time. The E-money held in your digital wallet in different currencies will be shown as separate balances in the NALA app.
Money received in the currencies which we support from time to time will automatically be added to the corresponding currency balance in your digital wallet.
Money received in currencies which we do not support will be added to the currency balance in your digital wallet as follows: in Pounds Sterling (GBP) if you are using our services based in the UK; and in Euros (EUR) if you are using our services based in [Europe/the EEA].
If you receive money in a new currency, i.e. you have never received that currency before, the money will be added to a new currency balance in your digital wallet in Pounds Sterling (GBP) if you are using our services based in the UK, and in Euros (EUR) if you are using our services based in [Europe/the EEA].
You may convert the E-money held in one currency in your digital wallet into other currencies we support from time to time. You may only perform a conversion in respect of funds that you already hold in your account.
When you confirm that you wish to convert the E-money held in your digital wallet into another currency before withdrawing or transferring that money, your separate currency balances will reflect the change immediately. Once a balance is converted in the app, you can transfer or withdraw those funds in the relevant currencies as shown in the app.
When you notify us that you wish to convert the E-money held in your digital wallet into another currency, we will let you know the applicable exchange rate before you make the conversion. We generally use our own exchange rate which is based on the rate that we are able to source from our foreign exchange suppliers from time to time, plus a mark-up. However, for some currencies, we cannot use our own exchange rate as we are required to use a different reference rate as the exchange rate for your currency pair.
When you withdraw or transfer the E-money, the exchange rate in effect at the time you first told us about the intended transfer will apply, as reflected previously in your different currency balances. If the exchange rate changes between the time you tell us you want to convert the currency and the time that money is withdrawn or transferred, we will bear the difference.
Airtime Top Up
Relating to Airtime Top Up, this refers to the service which allows you to credit a mobile phone account with credit which can be used by the mobile phone account holder to make calls, send text or picture messages and use data. It is credited to your own or another recipient’s mobile phone account typically within a few seconds.
3. Registering to use the NALA services
In these terms, when we refer to the “Account Owner” or “you” we are referring to the company, microenterprise or charity entering into these terms and creating an account with NALA (the “Account”). Those individuals who the Account Owner authorises to use the Account on its behalf are the “Account Managers”. The Account Owner and NALA are the parties to these Terms & Conditions. In order to use the application, the Account Owner must be a company, microenterprise or charity registered in the UK, a country in [Europe / the EEA] or another origination country approved by NALA. The individual accepting these terms confirms to us that they are authorised to do so on behalf of the Account Owner. The Account Owner acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for the acts and omissions of the Account Managers as if they were the acts and omissions of the Account Owner.
The Account Owner must have a payment account in its name, and be registered with NALA. In order to access the NALA app, the Account Manager(s) must have a cellular device that is compatible with iPhone or Android application software. In order to register, an Account Manager must download the application and provide NALA with information about the Account Owner and Account Manager.. The Account Owner shall and shall procure that the Account Managers shall provide complete and accurate information and/or documentation in connection with the registration process, which may include information needed to verify the Account Owner’s and Account Managers’ identities. The Account Owner shall update this information as may be reasonable or necessary to keep it complete and accurate at all times. We shall use this information as set out in our Privacy Policy which is available here
https://www.iwantnala.com/privacy-policy.
The Account Owner shall, and shall procure that the Account Manager(s) shall:
- at all times comply with these Terms & Conditions; and
- only use NALA in a business capacity and not for personal use.
If you want to use NALA for personal use, such use will be subject to separate terms which are available
here. Use of the application and our service is subject to our ability to verify the Account Owner’s identity. The Account Owner authorizes NALA to obtain information about it from third parties (including financial institutions, credit reporting agencies and your telephone service provider), although NALA has no obligation to do so. If the Account Owner does not provide accurate and complete information during registration or when requesting a service, we have the right to prohibit use of the service or the application or to stop any requested payment(s). Inaccurate and/or incomplete information provided during registration or when requesting a transfer may cause errors in requested payment(s), or may delay or restrict access to the application or service.
Upon registration for an Account, [you] OR [each Account Manager] must create a password associated with [your/its] contact information. Once security credentials have been enabled, you and your Account Managers will then be prompted to use a security credential each time you attempt to transfer funds.
4. Using the NALA services
If any of the information provided to us by the Account Owner or an Account Manager changes, the Account Owner shall ensure that we are informed as soon as reasonably possible, and that the information provided to us from time to time is complete and accurate. In the event that an attempt is made to log in to the Account from a new device, we will prompt the relevant Account Manager to enter a password to access the Account from a new device.
Before a transaction is complete, we will provide the following information:
- The amount to be sent (local currency),
- The amount the Beneficiary will receive (applicable foreign currency),
- An indication of the exchange rate that we will apply to the transaction,
- The payment account information selected to fund this transaction.
By clicking “Submit” the Account Owner verifies that this information is correct and intentional to the best of its knowledge, and authorizes NALA to initiate this transfer on its behalf, including the extraction of funds from the provided method of payment.
If you wish to withdraw consent to complete this transaction at any time prior to submission, pressing “Cancel” will effectively cancel the transaction.The application and service are generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Generally, the Beneficiary is paid instantly through the application. Once a transfer has been initiated, we may be unable to stop or change it.
5. Availability of the NALA services
Although the application and service is generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, there may be times when the service is unavailable. Periods of unavailability may be caused by NALA’s own acts (such as temporary periods when the application and service is taken off-line to make upgrades or improvements), or by events beyond NALA’s control, such as power outages, telecommunications failures, war or civil unrest, natural disasters or other acts of God.
6. E-money in your Account
Any E-money that NALA shows as being "held" in a digital wallet is a record of the cash-equivalent value that the Account Owner is entitled to receive from us. Any E-money in a digital wallet is not a deposit, which means that it is not protected under any deposit protection scheme in the UK or that may exist in any other country. Instead, NALA holds and manages E-money in the UK and [Europe/the EEA] in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations applicable to authorised electronic money issuers in the UK and [Europe/the EEA]. Any E-money in a digital wallet also does not represent a loan arrangement or any other form of credit.
7. Limits on transfers
NALA may from time to time set limits on the value of transfers the Account Owner may send (both individually and over a period of time), as well as the value of transfers any recipient may receive. NALA may delay payment of any individual transfer to allow NALA to determine that it complies with applicable law, regulation or NALA’s policies. NALA has the right, without notice, to refuse to accept or pay any transfer that NALA determines in our sole discretion may violate applicable law, regulation or our policies, including laws, regulations and policies intended to help detect and prevent money-laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other abuses of financial services; if we accept a transfer and then determine that it may violate any such law, regulation or policy, we may hold the transfer until such time that the matter is resolved.
8. Fees and charges
NALA will disclose its transaction fees and charges on the transaction confirmation page as detailed in the app prior to a payment being initiated. NALA's fees and charges may change from time to time, and may depend, among other factors, on the principal amount of the transfer, the type of originating payment account, location, and the location of the Beneficiary. NALA charges a flat fee per transaction based on the transaction volume, as well as a fixed mark-up on the foreign exchange rate for cross border payments. In addition to the fees and charges, NALA will also disclose the foreign exchange rate (that is, the rate at which funds will be converted into the currency to be paid to the Beneficiary) applicable to a transfer before you send it. NALA's foreign exchange rates change day to day, and in some instances intraday.
9. Language and information
The language of any agreement between the parties, including these Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy, is English, and all services, instructions and transactions carried out in connection with it will be in English. Upon registering for an Account, the Terms & Conditions will be made available to the Account Owner and Account Managers within the NALA App. Any necessary transmission of information, including information relating to the account, will be provided within the NALA app, from which you can download the relevant information. Updated information will be provided within the NALA app whenever there is a change to existing Terms & Conditions.
10. Preventing fraud
Your account and registration are personal and should not be used by anyone else. Registration with NALA allows the Account Owner’s payment account to be accessed through the application. If an Account Manager suspect(s) any fraud on the Account Owner’s account, or that any registration details or other security credentials have been compromised, they must contact us immediately at
support@nala.money.
In order for NALA to provide the NALA app and services, the Account Owner authorises NALA to:
- view, monitor and analyse all activity in its Account and to track, predict, report on and monitor fraud and other suspicious or financially risky activity; and
- investigate any potential fraud, suspicious or financially risky activity.
Where NALA’s analysis of the Account indicates that there is likelihood of fraud, suspicious activity or financially risky behaviour occurring that can be eliminated, reduced or prevented by taking any action permitted (including but not limited to suspending or declining payments), the Account Owner further authorises NALA to implement such action.
11. Liability for incorrect payments
The Account Owner represents and warrants to NALA that all information it and its Account Managers enter into the NALA app or otherwise provide to NALA is true and complete, including information about the Account Owner, Account Managers, the Payment Account, and the person to whom it is sending money (your “Beneficiary”). When processing a transfer, NALA may rely on such information . The Account Owner acknowledges that any errors in the information, including misidentification of the Beneficiary, incorrect or inconsistent account names and numbers, or misspellings, are its responsibility and that NALA shall have no liability for executing a transfer based upon the inaccurate or incomplete information.
If NALA is unable to complete payment of the transfer to the Beneficiary due to incorrect information provided about the Beneficiary, such as an incorrect telephone number, an incorrect or misspelled name, the wrong bank or bank account or any other misinformation, the Account Owner will be liable for any costs, fees, expenses and losses that NALA incurs in returning the transfer, such as processing costs, losses arising due to exchange rate fluctuations and third party service charges.
Because NALA credits transfers to Beneficiaries immediately, transfers are typically not cancellable or refundable. If the Account Owner believes that a transfer has been sent in error, it must contact us within thirty (30) minutes of the transfer being initiated at support@nala.money and we will attempt to recall the transfer, but we may be unable to do so if the transfer has already been credited to the Beneficiary's account or if the Beneficiary has already withdrawn or moved the funds. If NALA is unable to recall the transfer, NALA will have no liability to the Account Owner. However, if the transfer has not yet been paid, NALA will cancel it and refund the principal amount, together with any associated fees , to the Account Owner.
The Account Owner has a right to dispute errors in your transaction. There is no charge for this service. If the Account Owner or an Account Manager identifies a potential error, the Account Owner must contact us immediately, and in any case within 13 months after the execution of the transaction, and provide its name, contact information, the Beneficiary's name, date of transfer, as well as the reason it believes there has been an error. NALA will determine whether an error occurred and will promptly reply within 15 business days of receipt of the complaint; or, in exceptional circumstances, we will send a holding reply within 15 business days specifying the deadline by which we will provide our final response, being no later than 35 business days from the date of the initial complaint. If NALA was at fault, the Account Owner will be entitled to a refund or to have the payment re-sent free of charge. If no error occurred or NALA was not at fault, NALA will send the Account Owner a written notice including the information that NALA relied on to make that determination.
If NALA has charged the Account for an unauthorised transfer , we will refund the amount of the transfer promptly and at the latest by the end of the business day following the day on which we were notified of or otherwise became aware of the unauthorized transfer. However, in case there are reasonable indications of a fraudulent activity by the Account Owner or Account Manager, our obligation to refund will be suspended, pending further investigation, and such investigation will be undertaken promptly.
NALA shall not be liable to the Account Owner for any loss resulting from NALA's inability to cancel or refund a transfer. If NALA refunds a transfer , the refund may be paid by a credit to the Account.
12. Liability and indemnity
In consideration of our agreement to provide the application and service, the Account Owner agrees to indemnify and hold NALA harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, judgments, executions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses - including reasonable attorney's fees - in connection with or arising out of (i) the Account Owner’s use of the application or the service (including use by Account Managers), (ii) the Account Owner’s breach of this Agreement (including breach by Account Managers), or (iii) NALA acting upon the Account Owner’s or an Account Manager’s request for a transfer. The Account Owner will however only be liable up to the maximum amount of GBP 35 (or the equivalent amount) for losses that result from unauthorized payments resulting from the misappropriation or the use of a lost or stolen mobile phone (or other electronic device used to access and use the Service) and/or password. The Account Owner’s liability will not be limited if it and/or its Account Manager(s) acted with fraudulent intent or contributed to the misuse of a mobile phone and/or password intentionally or through grossly negligent conduct. Gross negligence in particular includes but is not limited to cases in which we are not promptly notified about a misuse, loss or theft of a mobile phone and/or password or if you do not keep them safe or disclose them to third parties.
NALA shall not be liable for any breach of our obligations under these Terms & Conditions or for any failure or delay in performance of any obligations under the agreement arising from or attributable to acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, where our failure to perform our obligations arise from:
- an act of God, fire, flood, earthquake, windstorm or other natural disaster, explosion or accidental damage, war, threat of or preparation for war, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, export controls, breaking off of diplomatic relations or similar actions, terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or riots, pandemic or epidemic, industrial disputes, shortages of raw materials or components, general disruptions to transportation, telecommunication systems, power supply or other utilities,
- the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions imposed by any government or state,
- the actions or omissions of the third parties,
- malfunctions in communications facilities which cannot reasonably be considered to be under our control and that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages you send to us,
- any losses or delays in transmission of messages arising out of the use of any internet access service provider or caused by any browser or other software which is not under our control, or
- any malicious code interfering with the service.
13. When these Terms & Conditions apply and how they change
The Terms & Conditions are effective from the point the Account Owner agrees to these Terms & Conditions. The Terms & Conditions are conducted for an indefinite period and will continue to apply until terminated by either party in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.
We may amend the Terms & Conditions from time to time and will provide at least two months’ notice in advance, by providing a link to a copy of the revised Terms & Conditions and the proposed date of entry into force. The Account Owner will be deemed to have accepted the changes to the Terms & Conditions unless it terminates use of the service and the Terms & Conditions before they come into force. If the Account Owner objects to any changes, it has the right to terminate free of charge and with effect at any time until the date the changes would have applied.
A “Micro-enterprise” and a “Charity” shall each have the meaning given to it in the European Union (Payment Services) Regulations 2018 (the “Regulations”).
The following paragraphs only apply to Account Owners that are not Micro-enterprises or Charities: You acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of the Regulations, law that would otherwise be applicable to the Terms & Conditions but which can be disapplied, or applied differently, to non-consumers are disapplied, or applied differently, under the Terms & Conditions including without limitation, all provisions set out in Part 6 of the Regulations (Information requirements for Payment Services), namely Regulations 40 to 62, and those provisions capable of being disapplied, or applied differently, in Part 7 of the Regulations (Rights and Obligations in relation to the Provision of Payment Services), namely Regulations 66(1), 67(3), 67(4), 74(1), 75, 77, 79, 80, 83, 91, 92 and 94.
In the event that the Account Owner becomes a Micro-Enterprise or a Charity, the Account Owner shall notify NALA immediately.
14. When these Terms & Conditions terminate and redemption of your E-money
NALA may terminate these Terms & Conditions at any time, on at least two months’ notice to the Account Owner.
You may close your account and terminate the Terms & Conditions at any point in time for any reason by selecting that option within your account.
Any termination of the Terms & Conditions or cessation of services does not relieve any obligation to pay fees or costs accrued prior to the termination. The Account Owner has a right to redeem the E-Money from its digital wallet after termination of the Terms & Conditions, and to transfer the proceeds either to another payment account in its name or to another Beneficiary. If this is done within one year of the date of termination of the Terms & Conditions such redemption will be free of charge via NALA’s standard transfer mechanisms; if it is more than one year after termination of the Terms & Conditions we may apply a fee which will be deducted from the proceeds of the redemption. Six years after termination of the Terms & Conditions, any remaining E-money will become the property of NALA and no longer redeemable.
15. Miscellaneous
Waiver. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under these Terms & Conditions or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
Remedies. Except as expressly provided in these Terms & Conditions, the rights and remedies provided under these Terms & Conditions are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
Entire Agreement. Each party acknowledges that (i) these Terms & Conditions contain the whole agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings between the parties relating to that subject matter; (ii) in entering into these Terms & Conditions, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a party to these Terms & Conditions or not) (“Representation”) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement; and (iii) the only rights and remedies available to it arising out of or in connection with a Representation shall be for breach of contract.
Severance. If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms & Conditions.
Third party rights. A person who is not a party to these Terms & Conditions shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these Terms & Conditions, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.
No partnership or agency. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture. Each party confirms it is acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person. In particular, you agree not to use the NALA app or services on behalf of, or as agent of, any other person.
16. Governing law, jurisdiction and complaints
Contracts for the purchase of our services using the website or the NALA app and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by English law. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with such contracts or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. The foregoing shall be without prejudice to either party’s statutory rights.

2. ACCOUNT & CARD LIMITS
2.1 Limits may apply to the balance on your Account at any time, the maximum value of an individual payment Transaction, maximum Virtual Transaction value per Card, the maximum aggregate value of all payment Transactions made from your Account or Cards in a particular time period e.g. during any one Business Day and the maximum number of payment Transactions made from your Account over a particular timeframe. Your Cards may also have certain Card Transaction types disabled, such as cash withdrawals at an ATM.
2.2 The limits and restrictions that apply to your Account and Card will be communicated to you during the Account set-up process and/or before the Card is issued to you (as applicable). These limits may also change over time based on your Account and/or Card usage; any such change will be communicated to you. You can check the limits at any time by contacting Customer Services. You should not make a payment Transaction request which exceeds such.
2.3 From time to time a Card Transaction may be authorised which exceeds the limit or restriction applicable to your Account or Card, for example when it is used in an offline environment for example but not limited to payments for or on transport (purchases on a train, aeroplane, underground or toll payments). In such circumstance, a negative balance on your Account may occur. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.12 to 5.14 inclusive will apply.
2.4 Certain Merchants may require verification that the funds held on your Account will cover the Card Transaction amount and will place a “pre-authorisation” on your Card. This amount will be unavailable to you until the Card Transaction is completed or released by the Merchant. The pre-authorisation allows the Merchant up to 30 days to claim and settle any funds owed to them from the Card. Examples include but are not limited to hotels and rental cars. If there are insufficient funds available on your Account, Modulr must still make this settlement, which may result in a negative balance on your Account. In this case the process in paragraphs 5.12 to 5.14 inclusive will apply.
2.5 To manage our risk, particularly with respect to money laundering, fraud or security concerns, we also apply internal controls, including limits, to certain types of payment. We change these as necessary but for security purposes, we do not disclose them.
