4.1.1. When you create an account, you choose your Apple or Google username and password as log in ID.
4.1.2. The login process is handled by Apple or Google, depending on which you chose. PENG does not ever gain access to your login credentials or any biometric information you might use to login.
4.1.3. If you lose access to Apple or Google, you will also lose access to your PENG account.
4.1.4. We will never ask you to tell us your password, so you shouldn’t share it with anyone, even if you think that they work for PENG.
4.1.5. If you wish to re-install the Service, or install the Service on a new mobile device, you can sign in using your Apple or Google account.
4.1.6. If you delete the account by using the Sign Out and Forget Me option, we will no longer present previous records of previous payments in your app, if you then register again. We will continue to store only those data elements as required to meet FCA / regulatory or legal requirements, as outlined in our Privacy Statement.
4.2. When registering, you have the option to verify your account, (or you can do so at any time after registration in the PENG app).
4.2.1. Verification removes the need to manually enter account details you wish to receive payments into.
4.2.2. This allows us to ensure that the account name is verified through your Provider and is the name that will be viewed by any a third party (the Payor) receiving a request to pay from you.
4.2.3. We will use the account name and details as provided by your bank as the receiving account for any request for payments you make to the Payor.
4.2.4. This helps protect both you and the Payor in ensuring that funds are sent to a verified account, where the account name is presented to the Payor.
4.2.5. You can use the optional reference field in the App to add any further details or clarification as this will be viewed by the Payor; for example, if the account name differs from any trading name.
4.3. If you choose not to verify your account, you must manually enter your account details into the app; PENG cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of any account details that are manually entered at registration, or any funds that as a result may be sent to the wrong account.
4.4. In order to complete verification, we must validate the account name and account details that you wish to receive payment to, with your chosen Provider.
4.4.1. PENG will request you to authenticate with your account Provider(s) in order to authenticate your bank account.
4.4.2. PENG will store you name, account number and sort code as the receiving account for any requests for payment you initiate.
4.4.3. PENG will not store any other details and will remove any access to your account with the Provider once authentication has been completed.
4.4.4. PENG will not download any other details in relation to your account and once the core information is confirmed, will no longer access the account. It may take 24hrs+ for your bank to reflect that access to your account information by PENG has been deleted.
4.4.5. Until you are verified, the Payor will see your name provided by you listed at registration, but in order to protect the Payor, the maximum transaction amount will be limited to a much smaller per transaction value than those that are verified.
4.4.6. Once verified, the limit on the maximum amount that can be processed as a single transaction is increased.
4.4.7. PENG reserves the right to alter the maximum transaction value(s) for non- verified as well as verified customers at any time.
4.5. Once registered to the Service, you have the option to choose to add tips to your Request for Payment from a Payor. This is optional and can be enable or disabled through the App at any time.
5. PAYMENT INITIATION SERVICES
5.1. The Service provides the ability for an individual or business / corporation (the “Payee”) to request a payment from any individual or business / corporation (the “Payor”).
5.1.1. The Payee must download the App and register for the PENG service to initiate a request to pay
5.1.2. The Payor does not have to register or download with the Service to be able to respond to a request for payment and pay from their selected bank (“Provider”).
5.2. Once registered with the Service, as the Payee (requesting a payment) you can initiate a request for payment from a Payor. This is done by instructing us (in the PENG app) to send a request to pay from you to family, friends, customers or other businesses.
5.3. At no point will PENG be the recipient of any transaction, the money will go direct to the account you have registered with the Service.
5.4. As with all Open Banking provisions the Payor must give their consent to make payments by providing their credentials to the bank Provider from which they will make the payment. At no point in this process does the Service or TrunorFT Limited view, hold, retain or utilise a Payor’s Provider bank login credentials.
5.5. As the Payor:
5.5.1. By initiating a payment, you authorise us to contact your bank Provider, on your behalf, to make those payments requested by you.
5.5.2. You explicitly consent to us having the right to act in your name to contact the Providers, and (in line with our Privacy Policy) use the Information you provide to trigger those payments.
5.5.3. You (as Payor) are responsible for ensuring that the third party who is requesting you to pay an amount is known to you, and is the person / entity that you wish to pay.
5.5.4. We initiate the Payment with your Providers through a secure, dedicated interface made available to us by your Provider.
5.5.4.1. This allows us to make requests, on your behalf, to your Provider to initiate the transaction to a make payment or move money.
5.5.4.2. You will be directed to your Provider to authenticate through their standard online or mobile authentication process and ask you to approve the transaction.
5.5.4.3. You will be requested by your Provider in their app/web application to confirm who you are paying and how much. This can only be done within your Provider’s secure banking service (web or app). Ecospend, as provider of the platform on which the App operates, will be shown as the regulated entity that is providing the (request to pay) service.
5.5.4.4. Your provider will then send confirmation of any payment made to us, and PENG or its partners will inform the Payee of the outcome of the transaction.
5.5.4.5. PENG operates under a licence from Ecospend, which is itself Licensed by the FCA and these secure interfaces are supported by the UK’s Open Banking initiative – you can find more information about how this works (including FAQs) at: www.openbanking.org.uk.
5.5.4.6. PENG will only receive from your Provider your name, sort code, and account number where you have requested the option to support a refund / payout back to your account as part of the Service you subscribe to. These details are securely stored and will only be used to return funds to your account when agreed by the payee as part of any returns / refund policy. (See our Privacy Policy).
5.6. Once the Payor has consented to pay through their Provider, the Payor will be informed that the payment has been submitted or that the payment failed. The Payor will need to check with their Provider for further updates on the status of their payment.
5.7. When you send a request to a third party to pay, you are asking them to pay you a specified amount. PENG cannot guarantee that the third party will respond to your request to pay.
5.7.1. You will see the status of payments you have requested in the App.
5.7.2. The status can be pending, which means your Provider has yet to send the funds to the Payee)
5.7.3. The Payment status is verified, which means the payment is under review and will be sent shortly.
5.7.4. The Payment status is complete, which means the payment has been sent to the Payee.
5.7.5. The payment status has failed, which means the bank has not transferred the funds.
5.7.6. PENG provides the initiation of the funds into your account and cannot be held responsible for the status of the transaction outside of the rules of the Faster Payment Network.
5.8. If you find out or suspect that your Service’s User Login or Password has been lost, stolen, or someone has used it without your permission, you must tell us as soon as possible. You can let us know by emailing [PENG@ zendesk.com]. If you do so, then we can deactivate your Service but remember that you will also need to inform your Providers if the security of any Accounts may have been compromised.
5.9. In the event we carry out measures to prevent the use of the Payment Initiation service within the PENG application, we will:
5.9.1. inform you that we intend to stop the use of the payment instrument; and;
