    ATM Fees: When you use an ATM, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any network used to complete the transaction (and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a fund transfer).

    International Transaction Fee:

    If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency or country other than the currency on your card (or make a purchase from a merchant using a bank that uses currency other than the currency or country in which your Card was issued), the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by the network or card association that processes the transaction into an amount in the currency of your Card. MasterCard International Inc. currently uses a conversion rate that is either: (i) selected from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets (which may vary from the rate the association itself receives), or (ii) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.

  2. Using SEPTA Key Prepaid MasterCard Card

    The Card is a prepaid card. The Card will remain the property of MetaBank and must be surrendered upon demand. The Card is nontransferable, and it may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference.

    The Card allows you to access funds loaded to your Card account by you or on your behalf. Your Card account does not constitute a checking or savings account and is not connected in any way to any other account you may have. The Card is not a gift card, nor is it intended to be used for gifting purposes. The Card is not a credit card. You will not receive any interest on the funds in your Card account. The Card funds in your Card account will be FDIC insured provided your Card is registered. Your Card funds will never expire, regardless of the expiration date on the front of your Card. You may register your Card by going to www.SEPTAKey.org.

    Important information for opening a MasterCard Prepaid Card account: To help the federal government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions and their third parties to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Personalized Card account. What this means for you: When you open a Personalized Card account, we will ask for your name, street address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver's license or other documents at any time. We may limit your ability to use the Personalized Card features until we have been able to successfully verify your identity.

    Federal Payments: THE ONLY FEDERAL PAYMENTS THAT MAY BE LOADED TO YOUR CARD VIA AN AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE ("ACH") CREDIT ARE FEDERAL PAYMENTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PRIMARY CARDHOLDER. If you have questions about this requirement, please call 1-855-567-3782.

    Authorized Users: You may not permit another person to have access to your Card or Card number. If you do provide access to your Card or Card number, you are liable for all transactions made with the Card or Card number by those persons. You are responsible for all transactions and fees incurred by you or any other person. You are wholly responsible for the use of the Card according to the terms of this Agreement subject to the "Lost or Stolen Cards; Unauthorized Transactions" section below, and other applicable law.

    Loading Your Card: You may add funds to your Card account, called "value loading", at any time. The amount of each value load must be at least $5. The Instant Card can be reloaded unlimited times only until $1000 in total Card loads is reached. There is no limit on the number of times you may value load your Personalized Card. However, the maximum Card value load you may place on your Personalized Card is restricted to $1000 per day. You agree to present the Card and meet identification requirements to complete load transactions as may be required from time to time.

    Card Account Access: You may use your Card to: (1) withdraw cash from your Personalized Card account, (2) make loads to your Personalized and Instant Card account, (3) purchase or lease goods or services where ever your Card is honored as long as you do not exceed the value available in your Card account, and (5) pay bills directly by telephone from your Card account in the amounts and on the days you request. Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may use your Personalized Card to access cash at an ATM. Loads to your Card account are not permitted at ATM terminals. You may not use your Card for any illegal transactions, use at casinos, and any gambling activity.

    Limitations on frequency of transactions: For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of Card transactions you can make with your Card.

    Limitations on dollar amounts of transactions: with your Personalized Card (1) You may withdraw up to $500 from terminals each day (2) You may buy up to $2500 worth of goods or services per day.

    You are responsible for all transactions initiated by use of your Card, except as otherwise set forth herein. If you do not have enough Card 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. Some merchants will only allow you to do a split transaction if you pay the remaining amount in cash.

    If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order or telephone purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the funds available in your Card account by the amount of the transaction. You are not allowed to exceed the available amount in your Card account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available in your Card account, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction. We reserve the right to bill you for any negative balance. You agree to pay us promptly for the negative balance. We also reserve the right to cancel this Card and close your Card account should you create one or more negative balances with your Card.

    You may have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of your Card, as otherwise provided herein. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to 3 business days.

  3. SEPTA Fare Product and Travel Wallet Usage:

    You may also add Fare Product(s) and Travel Wallet funds, called "SEPTA Products," to the SEPTA side of your Card. Fare Products and the Travel Wallet are powered by SEPTA and are only valid for use on the SEPTA transportation system. Fare Products may only be loaded to the SEPTA side of the Card when the Fare Product becomes available for sale subject to such terms and conditions as SEPTA may deem fit. The SEPTA Key Customer Service Center's master record of SEPTA activity shall be conclusive evidence of the use of any SEPTA Products, including the amount of value remaining in the Travel Wallet. MetaBank does not issue or provide services for SEPTA Products. For further information or to receive your Fare Products, Transit Products, or Travel Wallet SEPTA Products terms of use, please visit www.SEPTAKey.org or call 1-855-567-3782.

    There is no limit to the number of SEPTA Product purchases. You may also use your MasterCard prepaid funds for Fare Payment. Each use of a SEPTA Product is valid only for one direction on any individual transit vehicle. Travel Wallet must have available funds or a Fare Product must be valid to be accepted for transit use. Card must be tapped on bus farebox or rail station validator for every trip. Card must be shown on demand to operator or fare inspector and may require additional photo ID. Reproduction of a Card and/or its contents, or possession of a fraudulent Card is illegal and subject to criminal prosecution (PC 483). The Card is non-transferable and must be retained by the bearer for the duration of the trip.

    Fare payment shall be prioritized such that the SEPTA fare collection system will first validate SEPTA Products. Where a Card holds a valid Fare Product or funds within the Travel Wallet, no MasterCard debit deduction will be made from the Card. If a valid SEPTA Product is not present, the SEPTA fare collection system will then look to deduct a fare as a MasterCard debit transaction, and will deduct the fare from the MetaBank issued Card funds as payment subject to SEPTA's tariff regulations. If the SEPTA fare collection system looks for a fare payment transaction from a Card and the SEPTA Product(s) and MasterCard prepaid values are less than the attempted transaction value resulting in a declined transaction, the SEPTA fare payment functionality will be disabled until you add more SEPTA Products or MasterCard funds to your Card and call 1-855-567-3782 to have the functionality restored.

    SEPTA Product refunds will stay within the SEPTA side and are limited to SEPTA's terms and conditions. All fares, including promotional or discount fares of any kind available to a specific category of persons or at specific times or zone areas, are subject to change, review, and withdrawal by SEPTA at any time, and subject to such terms and conditions as SEPTA may deem fit. If, for any reason, the Card is not accepted for fare payment, you may be asked by SEPTA to pay your fare in U.S. currency.

  4. Preauthorized Transfers

    Preauthorized credits: If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Personalized Card account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at 1-855-567-3782 or go to www.SEPTAKey.org to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

    Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so: If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your Personalized Card account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how: Call us at 1-855-567-3782 or write us at SEPTA Key Card, PO Box 46425, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call.

    Notice of varying amounts: If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set).

    Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer: If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

  5. Business Days

    For purposes of these disclosures, our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.

  6. Returns and Refunds

    If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card account for such refunds. The amounts credited to your Card account for refunds may not be available for up to five (5) days from the date the refund transaction occurs.

  7. Receipts

    You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction or obtain cash using your Card. You agree to retain your receipt to verify your transactions.

  8. Obtaining Card Account Information.

    You may obtain information about the amount of Card funds or SEPTA Products you have remaining by calling 1-855-567-3782. This information, along with a 60-day history of account transactions, is also available on-line at www.SEPTAKey.org. You also have the right to obtain a sixty (60) day written history of Card transactions by calling 1-855-567-3782 or by writing us at SEPTA Key Card, PO Box 46425, Eden Prairie, MN 55344.

    4. If you give us your written permission; or
    5. To our employees, auditors, affiliates, service providers, or attorneys as needed.
  10. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

    If we do not 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 and damages proximately caused by us. 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;
    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 has been blocked after you reported your Card or PIN 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 communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken;
    9. Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
  11. Lost or Stolen Cards; Unauthorized Transactions

    If you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen, call: 1-855-567-3782, go to SEPTAKey.org or write: SEPTA Key Card, PO Box 46425, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. You should also call the number or write to the address listed above if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your Card or PIN without your permission.

    Your Liability for Unauthorized MasterCard Prepaid Transactions. Tell us, AT ONCE, if you believe your Card has been lost or stolen or of any unauthorized transactions. Your liability for unauthorized Card transactions that take place on the MasterCard system is zero dollars ($0). We may require you to provide a written statement regarding claims of unauthorized transactions. These provisions limiting your liability do not apply to ATM, POS, PINless, or any other debit transactions not processed by MasterCard. Additionally, see the paragraph below labeled "Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers" as it relates to other unauthorized transfers that were not processed by MasterCard.

    Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers: Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission. Telephoning toll-free at 1-855-567-3782 is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Card account. If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Card or PIN without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your electronic history shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by your Card or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the earlier of the date you electronically accessed your account (if the unauthorized transfer could be viewed in your electronic history), or the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the unauthorized transfer appeared, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods for a reasonable period.

  12. Unclaimed Property

    Your Card is subject to unclaimed property laws where your Card has been registered, or the laws of the state where we are located/incorporated if the Card is not registered. Should your Card have a remaining MasterCard balance after a certain period of time, we may be required to remit remaining funds to the appropriate state agency.

  13. Other Terms

    Your Card and your obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned. We may transfer our rights under this Agreement. Use of your Card is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any clearinghouse or other association involved in transactions. We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at anytime. 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 law of the State of South Dakota except to the extent governed by federal law.

  14. Amendment and Cancellation

    We may amend or change the terms of this Agreement at any time without prior notice to you except as required by applicable law. We may cancel or suspend your Card or this Agreement at any time without prior notice to you except as required by applicable law. You may cancel this Agreement by returning the Card to us. Your termination of this Agreement will not affect any of our rights or your obligations arising under this Agreement prior to termination.

For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation. If you have any further questions regarding our error resolution procedures, please contact us by calling 1-855-567-3782.

  19. Arbitration

    This Arbitration Provision sets forth the circumstances and procedures under which claims (as defined below) may be arbitrated instead of litigated in court.

Definitions: As used in this Arbitration Provision, the term "Claim" means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us arising from or relating to the Card or this Agreement as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us or the relationships resulting from this Agreement, including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision or the Agreements. "Claim" includes claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims and claims based upon contract, tort, fraud and other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law and equity. The term "Claim" is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, by way of example and without limitation, any claim, dispute or controversy that arises from or relates to (i) your Card, or the Cards of any additional cardholders designated by you; (ii) the amount of available funds in the Card accounts; (iii) advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related to the Cards, goods or services purchased with the Cards; (iv) the benefits and services related to the Cards; and (v) your enrollment for any Card. We shall not elect to use arbitration under the Arbitration Provision for any Claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court of your state or municipality so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in the court.

As used in the Arbitration Provision, the terms "we" and "us" shall for all purposes mean the Bank, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns; and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives. In addition, "we" or "us" shall include any third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with any Cards (including, but not limited to merchants who accept the Card, third parties who use or provide services, debt collectors and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives) if, and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with us (or files a Claim with or against us) in connection with a Claim asserted by you. As solely used in this Arbitration Provision, the terms "you" or "yours" shall mean all persons or entities approved by us to have and/or use a Card, including but not limited to all persons or entities contractually obligated under any of the Agreements and all additional cardholders.

Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Administrator: Any Claim shall be resolved, upon the election by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred in effect at the time the Claim is filed. Claims shall be referred to either the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration. If a selection by us of one of these organizations is unacceptable to you, you shall have the right within 30 days after you receive notice of our election to select either of the other organizations listed to serve as arbitrator administrator. For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about these organizations, contact them as follows: (i) JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 92614; website at www.jamsadr.com; (ii) AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017; website at www.adr.org

Significance of Arbitration: IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM, OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE OF PROCEDURES OF THE JAMS, OR AAA, AS APPLICABLE (THE "CODE"). FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR'S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Restrictions on Arbitration: If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis. There shall be no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other Cardholders or other persons similarly situated. The arbitrator's authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator's authority to make awards is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties.

Location of Arbitration/Payment of Fees: Any arbitration hearing that you attend shall take place in the federal judicial district of your residence. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of all or part of the filing administrative and/or hearing fees for any Claim you initiate as to which you or we seek arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration (or any appeal thereof), the arbitrator (or panel) will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in connection with the arbitration (or appeal). If and to the extent you incur filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in arbitration, including for any appeal, exceeding the amount they would have been if the Claim had been brought in the state or federal court which is closest to your billing address and would have had jurisdiction over the Claim, we will reimburse you to that extent unless the arbitrator (or panel) determines that the fees were incurred without any substantial justification.

Arbitration Procedures: This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended (the "FAA"). The arbitration shall be governed by the applicable Code, except that (to the extent enforceable under the FAA) this arbitration Provision shall control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law and, at the timely request of either party, shall provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply the Federal or any state rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence. Either party may submit a request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery allowable under the applicable Code. The party submitting such a request must provide a copy to the other party, who may submit objections to the arbitrator with a copy of the objections provided to the request party, within fifteen (15) days of receiving the requesting party's notice. The granting or denial of such request will be in the sole discretion of the arbitrator who shall notify the parties of his/her decision within twenty (20) days of the objecting party's submission. The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of business matters. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, any party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization, which shall consider anew any aspect of the initial award objected to by the appealing party. The appealing party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award to notify the arbitration organization that it is exercising the right of appeal. The appeal shall be filed with the arbitration organization in the form of a dated writing. The arbitration organization will then notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The arbitration organization will appoint a three-arbitrator panel which will conduct an arbitration pursuant to its Code and issue its decision within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the appellant's written notice. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote and shall be final and binding.

Continuation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your Card as well as voluntary payment of any debt in full by you, any legal proceeding by us to collect a debt owed by you, and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any principle or provision of law or equity, consistent with the FAA, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision, the Agreement or any prior agreement you may have had with us, each of which shall be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.
