1. Scope and Purpose
These Payment Terms – Virtual IBAN Top-Up (the “Payment Terms”) govern card-funded top-up transactions initiated by an end user (“Payer”, “you”) through UniPayment’s checkout interface for the purpose of funding a payment account identified by a virtual IBAN (“Virtual IBAN”).
These Payment Terms apply solely to the card top-up transaction and form an integral part of the applicable Terms of Service and Privacy Notice.
2. Nature of the Transaction
2.1 By completing a card payment under these Payment Terms, you instruct your card issuer to authorize a top-up of funds to a payment account identified by a Virtual IBAN.
2.2 The transaction constitutes a payment account funding (top-up) and does not constitute the purchase, sale, exchange, or transfer of any crypto-assets, digital assets, or virtual currencies.
2.3 UniPayment acts as a payment service intermediary and does not provide banking or electronic money services. The payment account associated with the Virtual IBAN is provided by UniPayment’s partner electronic money institution(s) in accordance with their applicable terms.
3. Transaction Flow
3.1 The transaction flow is as follows:
- (a) you initiate a card payment via the checkout interface;
- (b) the card payment is authorized and processed by the acquiring and issuing institutions;
- (c) the corresponding amount, net of applicable fees, is credited to a payment account identified by a Virtual IBAN.
3.2 Any subsequent transfer, payout, or use of funds credited to the Virtual IBAN is performed separately, based on instructions provided by the account holder or merchant, and is not part of the card payment transaction governed by these Payment Terms.
4. Fees and Amounts
4.1 The amount to be topped up, applicable fees, and the total transaction amount will be clearly displayed to you prior to confirming the payment.

5. Authorization and Irrevocability
5.1 By confirming the payment, you authorize the card payment and acknowledge that once authorized and successfully processed, the top-up transaction cannot be revoked or cancelled.
5.2 This does not affect any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection or card scheme chargeback rules, as applicable.
6. Chargebacks and Disputes
6.1 Any disputes related to the card payment, including chargebacks, must be raised with your card issuer in accordance with the card scheme rules.
6.2 You acknowledge that the subject of the card transaction is the top-up of a payment account, and not the delivery of goods or services by a merchant.
6.3 UniPayment may provide transaction information to the acquiring bank or card schemes for the purposes of dispute resolution and compliance.
7. Prohibited Use
7.1 You must not use the card top-up functionality for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws, regulations, or card scheme rules.

- card authorization failures;
- actions or omissions of card issuers, acquiring banks, or payment networks;
- restrictions or limitations imposed by third-party payment service providers.
