Card Payments

  • I have a problem with a card transaction. What should I do?
    Contact our Customer Service Team and describe what happened, including as many details as possible. You can easily contact us via the App tapping Contact us or “Request a call” at the menu.

  • Why can’t I make a transaction to another financial institution?
    Such type of fund movements may be associated with money laundering and/or card fraud and we, as many other financial institutions, set up our authorization rules to decline them.

    Cards are intended to make purchases or withdraw cash. Without going into too much detail, the effect of using cards to top up another card or to send money to another financial institution through a merchant transaction is that the link between source and destination of funds is lost.

  • Today I received a refund to my account, but I cannot use the funds. Why?
    On the day of refund, the amount is immediately available for use only on the card on which the refund was received.

    Due to the technical settings of the system, it is possible to send the refunded amount by bank transfer or DiP transfer, transfer to another sub-account or withdraw from an ATM only the next day (after 2 am).

AML

  • What is Anti-money laundering (AML)?

    Anti-money laundering is the act of prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.

    Money laundering is the illegal process of converting money earned from illegal activities into “clean” money – money that can be freely used in legitimate business operations and does not have to be concealed from the authorities.

    Terrorist financing is the provision of funds or providing financial support to individual terrorists or non-state actors.

  • What is KYC?

    KYC, or Know Your Customer, is a process followed by financial institutions and businesses to verify the identity of their customers. It is a crucial component of customer due diligence and is implemented to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

    The KYC process involves collecting and verifying customer information, typically through official identification documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, or national identity cards. Financial institutions also gather additional details about the customer’s background, such as address, date of birth, occupation, and source of funds.

    The purpose of KYC is to prevent financial crimes, such as money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and identity theft. By conducting thorough identity verification and risk assessments, financial institutions can better understand their customers, detect and mitigate potential risks, and ensure the integrity of the financial system.

  • What is a Politically Exposed Person?

    A Politically Exposed Person is a person holding a high-importance public position, or family member of a Politically Exposed Person, or person known to be close associate to a Politically Exposed Person. For example, the most well-known high-importance political positions are:

    heads of State, heads of government, ministers and deputy or assistant ministers;

    members of parliament or of similar legislative bodies;

    members of the governing bodies of political parties;

    members of supreme courts, of constitutional courts or of other high-level judicial bodies, the decisions of which are not subject to further appeal, except in exceptional circumstances;

    members of courts of auditors or of the boards of central banks;

    ambassadors, chargés d’affaires and high-ranking officers in the armed forces;

    members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies of State-owned enterprises;

    directors, deputy directors and members of the board or equivalent function of an international organization.





    Electronic Money Institution (EMI) officials are obliged to ask questions:

    The EMI must follow the principle “Know your customer”. EMI employees must understand the actions of the client. If the client wants to make an unusual monetary transaction or is not clear about the purpose of the operation, EMI officials are obliged to ask the client questions related to the purpose of the operation or the origin of the funds.

  • Why should I respond to any inquiries related to my payment tool?

    Answering Electronic Money Institution questions will help prevent crime, especially money laundering and terrorism financing. Keep your personal data very safe, and do not disclose information about your account to other persons. Do not accept offers from suspicious persons to perform a transaction on your behalf. This will avoid any trouble and help prevent crime.

    What may happen if I don’t answer the bank’s inquiry, or if I give false information?

    If the Electronic Money Institution is not provided with the necessary information or requested documents (and even if they are provided, but they do not answer the questions), in some cases the institutiont will no longer be able to provide you with services, e.g. it may refuse or suspend the execution of monetary operations or transactions, or apply restrictions on the use of the account, card(s).

  • Why is it necessary to provide income data?

    We ask you to provide us with revenue data so that we can better understand the origin of the funds in our clients’ accounts, as well as whether the transactions you perform match your income. This helps us get to know our customers better and makes it easier to ensure the security of our customers’ funds.

    The following documents are acceptable by the institution:

    Bank Statements: Recent bank statements from the account(s) where the funds originated can demonstrate a clear transaction history and show the source of funds.

    Pay Slips: If the funds came from employment, providing recent pay slips or salary statements can prove that the funds are earned income.

    Tax Returns: Presenting personal or business tax returns can validate the income source and provide a comprehensive overview of your financial activities.

    Sale Agreements: If the funds are derived from the sale of assets (e.g., property, vehicle, business), providing sale agreements, purchase agreements, or receipts can establish the source of the funds.

    Inheritance or Gift Documents: If the funds were inherited or received as a gift, providing relevant legal documents, such as inheritance certificates or gift affidavits, can demonstrate the legitimate transfer of funds.

    Investment Statements: If the funds originated from investments, providing investment account statements or brokerage statements can establish the source of funds and show the investment returns.

    Loan Agreements: If the funds are obtained through a loan, providing loan agreements and repayment schedules can demonstrate that the funds are borrowed rather than proceeds from illicit activities.

    Business Documents: If the funds come from business activities, documents such as business financial statements, contracts, invoices, or proof of ownership can help prove the source of the funds.

    Sale Receipts: For funds obtained through the sale of goods or services, providing receipts or invoices can demonstrate the legitimate income source.

    Legal Settlements: If the funds are derived from legal settlements or court judgments, providing relevant legal documents can establish the source of the funds.

FRAUD

  • What is Fraud?

    Fraud is an intentional act of deception, often committed for personal gain, that involves tricking individuals or organizations into giving away their money, personal information, or sensitive data.



    Popular Fraud Types

    Phishing: Fraudsters send deceptive emails or messages pretending to be a legitimate institution, such as a bank, to obtain personal information or login credentials.

    Identity Theft: This occurs when someone steals your personal information, such as your Social Security number or credit card details, to commit fraudulent activities in your name.

    Card Skimming: Fraudsters use illegal devices to capture your credit or debit card information when you make a transaction, often at ATMs or point-of-sale terminals.

    Fake Websites: Scammers create fraudulent websites that resemble legitimate ones to trick users into entering their personal information or making payments.

    Investment Scams: These scams promise high returns on investments but are designed to defraud individuals by taking their money without delivering the promised results.



    Identifying Fraud

    To help identify potential fraud, watch out for the following warning signs:

    Unsolicited requests for personal information or login credentials through email, phone calls, or text messages.

    Suspicious charges or withdrawals on your bank or credit card statements.

    Unexpected account activity, such as unfamiliar transactions or changes in your account details.

    Emails or messages with poor grammar, spelling errors, or unfamiliar sender addresses.

    Websites without proper security measures, such as the absence of “https” in the URL or a padlock symbol in the browser’s address bar.

  • How can I protect myself from phishing attempts?

    Be cautious of emails, messages, or phone calls asking for personal information or login credentials. Legitimate institutions won’t request sensitive information through these channels. Avoid clicking on suspicious links and verify the legitimacy of the sender before sharing any details.

  • How can I safeguard against identity theft?

    Protect your personal information by using strong, unique passwords for your accounts, regularly monitoring your credit reports, and being cautious of sharing personal information online or over the phone. Consider using two-factor authentication for added security.

    How can I verify the authenticity of a website?

    Look for secure website indicators such as “https” in the URL and a padlock symbol in the browser’s address bar. Be cautious of websites with poor design, spelling errors, or unusual web addresses. When in doubt, directly type in the institution’s official website address or contact customer support for verification.

    What should I know about investment fraud?

    To protect yourself from investment fraud:

    Conduct thorough research before investing in any opportunity. Be skeptical of investment offers promising unusually high returns or guaranteed profits. Verify the credentials of financial advisors or investment professionals. Consult with reputable financial institutions or seek professional advice before making investment decisions.

  • How can I protect myself from card skimming?

    To protect yourself from card skimming:

    Inspect card readers and ATMs for any signs of tampering. Cover the keypad when entering your PIN to prevent hidden cameras from capturing it.

    Contact DiPocket: Inform DiPocket about the suspected fraud. We will guide you through the necessary steps and help protect your account.
