The Balance will be automatically transferred to your new Card, which can be used once activated by calling 1-855-887-3946 or visiting www.wefinancial.ca.

Funds loaded onto the Card are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC).

Lost or stolen Card or PIN: You must take all reasonable steps to protect the Card and/or PIN against loss, theft, or unauthorized use. You should not maintain a written record of, or disclose the PIN to a third party, including family members and friends. If you lose the Card and/or PIN or you become aware that the PIN may have become known to someone else, you must IMMEDIATELY suspend your Card in the mobile application and call customer service at 1-855-887-3946. Avoid PIN combinations that may be easily guessed by others. All transactions carried out on the Card before you notify We Financial will be considered to have been made by you.

If you forget the PIN, you can reset your PIN by calling customer service at 1-855-887-3946 or visiting www.wefinancial.ca. The PIN may be disabled if an incorrect PIN is entered three (3) times. If the PIN is disabled, please call customer service for assistance. If the PIN is disabled, or if a merchant does not accept chip and PIN transactions, you will be required to sign for any transactions at merchants, if this is supported by and acceptable to the merchant. We reserve the right to investigate the validity of any claim, including asking for verification of your identity. We may also require you to provide a written claim signed under oath. You will be charged a Card Replacement fee described in the Fees Table. It may take up to 30 days to process your request.

Additional Cardholders: You can ask We Financial to issue additional Personalized Cards in the name of the person(s) you identify. You will be charged a fee for each additional card as set out in the Fee Table, which will be deducted from your Card Balance. We may ask for information about the person to whom you want We Financial to issue an additional Personalized Card for security and compliance purposes and reserve the right to not approve your request for an additional Personalized Card. Up to three (3) Personalized Cards may be linked to the same account. All additional Personalized Cards will share the same Card Balance. Any value loaded to any linked Personalized Card may be accessed by any other linked Personalized Cards. Card Balance and activity information can be viewed by all linked Cardholders. All additional Personalized Cards and Cardholders are governed by this Agreement, and all reloads and transactions on additional Personalized Cards will be considered together for purposes of the transaction and reload limits. All persons to whom we issue additional Personalized Cards are responsible jointly and severally for all obligations under the Agreement for all Cards issued and will be jointly and severally liable for any and all fees, losses or negative balances. We will only honour instructions from the primary Cardholder (the original applicant) and any notices regarding additional Personalized Cards given to the primary Cardholder shall be considered to be notice to all Cardholders.

Split tender transactions: If the Balance on the Card is not sufficient to cover the full Transaction Amount, you may ask the merchant if they will accept a split tender transaction. A split tender transaction allows you to use the remaining Balance on the Card to pay for part of the Transaction Amount and cover the difference with another form of payment (e.g. cash, cheque, credit, or debit). Some merchants may require cash payment to cover the difference. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split tender transaction prior to using the Card, your Card may be declined. Merchants do not have to and may not agree to accept split tender transactions.

Personal Information: By applying for the Card, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by Peoples Trust Company and its service providers as described below. The collection of that information is necessary for the entering into and performance of this Agreement. Therefore, if you do not consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information, you may not apply for or use a Card.
