Remittance
- Transaction confirmation
- The details of the Transaction will be displayed on the receipt or website, and you will be asked to confirm this. The details will include but not limited to the details of the Customer, Receiver, Delivery Method, Transaction Amount, Receiving Currency, Service Fees, Total Amount and Exchange Rate, if any. By paying the Total Amount you agree that the details of the Transaction provided are true, complete and accurate. Proceeding with the Transaction at this point is entirely optional.
- Dispute timeframe
- If you believe your submitted transaction has not been properly executed by PSN, you must contact PSN through the channels listed at the end of these Terms & Conditions within 1 month to report your dispute. All disputes must be reported within 1 month from the day of the Transaction.
- Payout amount, payout currency, payout time frame
- When you pay a Transaction Amount in one currency and the Payout Amount in another currency, there may be a difference between the Exchange Rate at which we buy foreign currency and the Exchange Rate provided to you. PSN usually makes a small profit in these circumstances. We guarantee you that we transfer the full Payout Amount in local currency however we cannot guarantee that the Payout Amount received in the Receiver's bank account is the full Payout Amount as PSN will have no responsibility for any deductions incurred on the Payout Amount by any intermediary, correspondent or receiver bank.
- If a Receiver's account is denominated in a currency other than the currency you instructed us to make payment in, there may be delays, additional deductions and/or the Payout Amount may be different to the Payout Amount in the Transaction. The Customer is therefore responsible for ensuring that the currency requested for the transaction matches the currency of the account where the funds are to be delivered.
- In most cases, the length of time required for the Receiver to receive the Payout Amount since the date we receive the full payment from you varies depending on our partners. However, this length might vary due to different factors and we do not hold any liability for any reasons that are beyond our control, which include but are not limited to:
- Bank or public holidays;
- Technical problems from our partners;
- Natural disasters; or
- Labour issues or strikes.
- Transaction cancellation
- We may, in our absolute discretion, refuse or cancel a Transaction or terminate business relationship with you where we believe that the Services are being used, whether by you or the Receiver, to provide remittance Services to others without a contractual arrangement as an Affiliate and the necessary registrations with the relevant authorities.
- Notwithstanding this, PSN may, in its absolute discretion, attempt to cancel your Transaction if you have informed us that you wish to revoke it. In some cases, PSN may have already initiated a request for funds to be paid out to your Receiver by its Service Provider that cannot be reversed, and therefore cannot guarantee cancellation will be successful.
- If we have executed the Transaction in accordance with the instructions you have provided to us, and either the information is incorrect or the Transaction has been a result of a scam or fraud where the Customer is a victim, we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds but we are not liable for the execution of the Transaction. We may charge you a reasonable fee to try to recover the funds.
- Where PSN has executed the Transaction that was not in accordance with the Transaction, PSN will refund the full Total Amount paid to PSN. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, no adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations that may have occurred between the time you pay us the Total Amount and the time of the payment to the Receiver.
- Our responsibility is to inform you of Transactions which are not executed by our Service Providers. If we do not receive your response/cannot reach you within 1 month from the day of your submitted Transaction we will cancel your Transaction. Even though the Transaction is cancelled you must submit the refund request by contacting PSN through the channels listed at the end of these Terms & Conditions.
- Service Fees and Charges
- For each Transaction that you submit, you will pay us the relevant Service Fees in addition to the Transaction Amount, if applicable. Payment of the Service Fees is required at the time that you submit your Transaction. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service Fees are non-refundable unless explicitly stated in these Terms & Conditions.
- Cancellation fee:
- In-branch and booking Transaction:
- If you wish to cancel the Transaction which has not been sent to our Service Provider for processing we will refund you after deducting the service fees but the deducting amount will not be more than $15.
- If you wish to cancel the Transaction which has been sent to our overseas partner for processing and the Transaction has not been executed we will approve your refund request and process refund less the service fees.
- Online Transaction: if you wish to cancel the Transaction and the transaction has not been executed at either our end or overseas partner we will approve your refund request and process refund less the Service Fees.
- Your cancellation request may result in Charges to PSN which are incurred not through our fault. These Charges will also be deducted before we process refunds.
- Breach of these Terms and Conditions
- You will only use the Services to send money to people that you know personally or directly and not to send money to people who you do not know or on behalf of other people. You acknowledge that PSN may refuse to process your Transaction where we believe you are using the Services to send money to people you do not know, on behalf of another person unless authorised and approved to do so, or where we believe that the Services are being used, by you or the Receiver, in connection with fraudulent, illegal or unethical activities.
- Both you and the Receiver will only act on your own behalf. You may not submit a Transaction or receive a transaction on behalf of a third person without our prior approval. If you wish to submit a Transaction or receive a Payout Amount as a Receiver on behalf of a third party, you must first inform PSN of your desire to do so and provide us with any additional information and documentation about the third-party that we may request for us to decide whether to proceed with the Transaction.
