We are not responsible for and do not control when we will receive the funds from Client’s payment services provider and whether the payment services provider of Client or correspondent banks will charge Client fees for the transfer and will transfer the full amount to us. Client will be notified through information in the online account in the balance and transaction history on the amount of issued money and date of credit operation.
3.3 Funding transactions, involving acquiring (if there are such)with some funding methods may be rejected or limited by us for regulatory reasons (AML/FT), risk and security or to avoid conflict between various Services by us or on other grounds, or may be rejected or delayed, for reasons beyond our control.
