During authorization, Paily may request information including Client identification. Paily may further request information necessary per anti-money laundering laws.

Once authorized, Clients receive a personal Account accessible only by the Client within stated declared activity and purposes. Clients take necessary measures protecting login authorization data and use Accounts per these Conditions.
Each Client is allowed one approved Account. Additional applications and documents attach to the sole approved Account. Multiple accounts trigger Paily’s closure of additional accounts at its discretion, with fund transfers to the remaining account.

All information is provided in English only; English is the communications language for these Conditions.

Upon Deposit, Clients authorize Paily to receive funds from chosen sources, deduct applicable Fees, and credit electronic money to Client Accounts.
During depositing, Clients acknowledge funds deposited in chosen currency credit to respective Wallets. Lacking Wallets in deposited currency triggers automatic Paily creation with explicit Client authorization or possible fund conversion at Paily’s discretion. Cross-border payment regulations may create foreign exchange rate differences; Clients agree not to raise claims regarding conversion.
Paily retains discretion setting electronic money purchase limits, imposing special requirements, or declining funds.
Visa and MasterCard Deposits processed successfully provide no cancellation or refund availability. Electronic money redemption requires Withdrawal via Visa or MasterCard, subject to applicable Fees.
