- account issuance service;
- domestic money transfer service;
- cross-border money transfer service; and
- e-money issuance service.
In respect of the obligations imposed on us by Singapore law, we underline that your Account will not, under any circumstances:
- be treated as a bank account;
- be deemed to be issued by a Relevant authority, government agency or bank institution;
- be covered by the Deposit Insurance Scheme; and
- be entitled to any form of interest on the Money deposited.
3. Your Account with Walletory
In order to use our Services and have an Account, you are required to create a Customer profile in the E-banking platform. When creating the Customer profile, you will be required to authenticate yourself via email and/or SMS. Only after you have created the Customer profile you will be able to start the Account opening process, where you will be asked for additional information, in order to comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements.
As an Account holder, you are entitled to top up, send, hold, receive, request, exchange and withdraw the E-Money or conduct payments in accordance with the Terms. You can hold multiple Supported currencies in your Account at the same time. You are allowed to top up, send, receive, exchange and withdraw different Supported currencies. The conversion rate is always calculated in accordance with the currency conversion rules set out in the Terms.
We reserve a right to require an active bank account to be linked to an Account and if we ask you to do so, you undertake to provide relevant documents proving your ownership of such bank account. Any remaining E-Money to which you would be entitled upon the closing or termination of your Account or which exceeds the limits set for certain Account holders will be sent to this bank account. In the event that we need to transfer E-Money from your Account to your bank account for any reason, we reserve the right to select any one or more of the available Supported currencies in which you hold E-Money in your account. You warrant to notify us immediately of any changes associated with the linked bank account. Not linking your Account to your bank account may be a cause for disabling you from using our Services. In the case of Singaporean users, a Designated deposit account must be linked with an Account before we make our Services available to you.
You can only have one Account open at a time unless you have our prior express consent to open a separate Account, for example, for the purposes of your business. We reserve the right to request additional information from you in the event of multiple Accounts being associated with you. We reserve the right to merge or terminate such Accounts at any time.
You can check statements and information on Account transaction history at any time on the E-banking platform. Whenever you make or receive a transaction, a notification will be sent to you, along with an email containing the corresponding receipt.
In the event that a Sole proprietor is found to be using the Account for services designed for Merchant clients without our prior authorisation, we reserve the right to either reclassify the Account as a Merchant account or close it in accordance with Section 15.
We reserve the right to impose individual or general limits on deposits, outgoing and incoming payments and transactions due to security and/or legal requirements. If we reasonably determine, in our sole discretion, that there is a significant risk associated with the payment or transaction, a temporary hold may be placed on such payment or transaction.
4. Safeguarding & Segregation
We hereby undertake and confirm that all Customers’ Money will be safeguarded in accordance with the regulatory requirements set out in the PSA. All monies received will be deposited in a segregated safeguarding account to avoid commingling or mixing with Walletory’s own Money (commitment to follow the principle of segregation). All Customers’ Monies, which are subject to safeguarding obligations, are held in a segregated safeguarding account with DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore. We emphasise that you are not entitled to receive any interest on the Money placed with Walletory.
If we become insolvent, your Money held in segregated accounts with our safeguarding institution will be returned to you. We cannot guarantee that you will always get back the same amount you have deposited if the safeguarding institution becomes insolvent. You acknowledge and accept that any Money received from you or on your behalf in connection with the provision of cross-border money transfer services, namely, services facilitating the transmission of E-Money from one Relevant country or territory to another (excluding the Republic of Singapore), may be exempted from safeguarding requirements in accordance with the PSA. Notwithstanding this, Walletory remains committed to adhering to the principles of Money segregation to ensure the protection and proper management of such Money.
5. Holding E-Money
E-Money on the Account belong to the respective Account holder. No person other than the Account holder has the right to claim the E-Money held on such Account, except for the case of succession, which must be demonstrated to us by appropriate, legally acceptable means we would require in our sole discretion.
You shall not share the Account and/or the E-Money deposited on it with any person, as well as you shall not assign or transfer your right to the Account and/or the E-Money deposited on it or otherwise provide any person with any access to the Account and/or the E-Money.
Should a situation arise where, for any reason (whether, but not limited to a technical error or due to the involvement of third-party providers), your Account reaches a negative balance due to your actions, you undertake to deposit the required amount immediately without prior notification from us. In the event such obligation is not fulfilled, we will notify you. In the event such notification is not followed by topping up your account within 15 (fifteen) business days of the day such email has been sent, we will suspend the Account at our sole discretion until the respective amount is received.
In the case of Singaporean users, limited handling of Account E-Money is required with reference to the PSA. Singaporean users can have a maximum of a combined total equivalent of SGD 20,000 (twenty thousand Singaporean dollars) in their Account at any one time and can make transactions or payments totalling a maximum of SGD 100,000 (one hundred thousand Singaporean dollars) in one Calendar year. Any transaction that exceeds these limits shall not be executed. You shall be fully responsible for complying with these limits and in the event of exceeding the limits, the excess E-Money will be transferred to the Designated deposit account at the end of the day. You will be responsible for all fees associated with such transfer, including any currency conversion fees, if applicable.
6. Top Up E-Money – Bank Wire Receive Money
You can top up E-Money to your or another Customer’s Walletory account using the bank wire “Receive Money” function. Topping up of E-Money into the Account is possible via supported payment methods. Any of these methods may change without prior notice from us. We reserve the right to impose restrictions or limits on certain payment methods in respect of risk or other circumstances we deem relevant. We do not allow cash top-ups.
Due to security and/or legal requirements, we reserve the right to require the payment method to be registered in the name of the Account holder and to require additional documents, verification and/or information when you request a top-up of a larger amount of E-Money.
The time it takes us to top up an Account may vary depending on your chosen payment method or due to security and/or legal requirements. The E-Money will be credited to the Account when we receive your Money and perform the necessary verification. We are not liable for any losses caused by delays in the transfer of Money caused by payment service providers or any third-party.
We are not responsible for the Money until it is credited to our safeguarding accounts. Before your Account is topped up, Walletory is a payment recipient and not a payment services provider, therefore we can ensure protection to your E-Money only after their receipt on our safeguarding accounts.
7. Payments at the Merchant
You may fulfil payment obligations for requested Products and Services by accepting a payment request sent by a Merchant, provided that the Merchant is approved and authorised by us.
When you use our Services to pay for Products and Services, you warrant that you will at all times comply with the following:
- you are not restricted or excluded in any way from purchasing the Products or Services with reference to Applicable laws; and
- the Products or Services are not prohibited or illegal in the Relevant country.
If a Merchant accepts payments via Walletory, you may transfer the E-Money directly through the Merchant’s website. We recommend you to always check carefully whether the payment gateway is indeed certified as our Service.
We hereby disclaim any and all liability for the functionality, features or quality of the Products and Services offered by Merchants, as well as any and all liability for damages, injuries or loss of profit caused by said Products and Services.
Wherever a business relationship or any other obligation arises between you and the Merchant, we are not in any way a party to that relationship and do not incur any rights or obligations except what we are obligated to do under these Terms. We do not provide any form of refund for defective or unwanted Products and Services provided by the Merchant. Payments may only be cancelled following the process set forth in Section 14 below.
If a Merchant breaches any relevant agreement set between the Merchant and us when using our Services and you suffer damage as a consequence, we will try to refund your E-Money, however, there is no guarantee that you will receive a full refund.
8. Sending and Receiving E-Money – Wallet to Wallet
You can send E-Money to another Customer’s Walletory Account using the Wallet to Wallet “Send Money” function. Where E-Money are sent anywhere besides to another Walletory Account, such as a bank account or any other electronic money institution account, the withdrawal process described in Section 9 below shall apply.
In order to carry out the transaction we will require certain data about the recipient, including but not limited to name, details of the recipient’s Account held with us and the amount of the E-Money you intend to transfer. In certain situations, we may require you to indicate the reason for the Transaction. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your instructions and we shall not be liable for any error you make when entering the recipient’s details or the amount of the E-Money. Where there are reasons to believe that there is an erroneous transaction, we are entitled to make the necessary corrections.
You may request payments from other Customers by using “Request Money” function. Requested transactions are subject to approval and authorisation of the payer and the request may be cancelled before such authorisation is performed.
We will usually start processing your transaction immediately, but if it is submitted on non-Business days or after 5pm SGT, we reserve the right to initiate processing of your Transaction on the next Business day. Your transaction shall be settled within 3 (three) Business days for domestic transactions within Singapore and 7 (seven) Business days for cross-border transactions outside Singapore.
9. Withdrawing of E-Money – Bank Wire Send Money
You can withdraw E-Money from your Account using the bank wire “Send Money” function. Withdrawing E-money from your Account is possible via supported payment methods. These payment methods may change without prior notice from us. We reserve the right to impose restrictions or limits on certain payment methods in respect of risk or other circumstances we deem relevant. We do not provide the option to withdraw cash from the Account under any circumstances.
You take responsibility for the accuracy of the instructions you provide to us for the purpose of withdrawing E-Money from your Account. We cannot guarantee that the E-Money will be returned to you if you have made a mistake during data input. We reserve the right to refuse to process a withdrawal if we find the information provided to be inaccurate.
Due to security and/or legal requirements, we reserve the right to require the payment method to be registered in the name of the Account holder and to require additional documents, verification and/or information when you request to withdraw a larger amount of E-Money from your Account. In the case of Singaporean users, any withdrawal of E-Money from the Account shall be subject to the maximum annual limits set out in the Section 5 above, except for withdrawals to a Designated deposit account.
We will usually start processing your withdrawal request immediately, but if it is submitted on non-Business days or after 5pm SGT, we may not start processing your withdrawal request until the next Business day. Your Money shall be transferred to the payment service provider within 3 (three) Business days for a domestic withdrawal within Singapore and 7 (seven) Business days for a cross-border withdrawal outside Singapore.
We are responsible for your E-Money only until the moment we initiate the transfer to the payment service provider set by you in the payment instruction.
10. Currency Conversion Rules
The rules set out in this Section apply to all currency transfers that may occur when using our Services. We only provide conversions for the Supported currencies; a complete list may be found on the E-banking platform. Current exchange rates are updated regularly and can always be found on the E-banking platform, displayed to you, at the latest during the execution of a foreign exchange operation. Exchange rates may be determined by third-party providers. We reserve the right to change providers at any time without prior notice to you.
The exchange rate is always primarily based on:
- the rates quoted by DBS Bank; if this is not available, then
- the rates quoted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore; and if this is not available, then
- the rates determined by any other bank in Singapore.
If it is required for any of the Supported currencies to apply a different exchange rate due to any legal reasons (for example, as a requirement of central banks or other Regulatory authorities to maintain a particular exchange rate), we will follow that exchange rate.
We reserve the right to impose limits and restrictions on certain currencies, whether required by Applicable law or at our sole discretion.
You are allowed to convert the Supported currencies held in your Account using the Wallet to Wallet “Exchange Money” function. The conversion will be subject to the exchange rate in effect at the time the conversion is authorised. Any Fees arising from the use of our Services will be charged in the currency you are converting, i.e., if you are converting SGD to USD, you will be charged in SGD. We reserve the right to apply Fees for the conversion of certain currencies and the right not to proceed with the conversion, at our sole discretion. We are not responsible for any depreciation of E-Money due to changes in exchange rates.
The final exchange rate and Fees will always be displayed before authorising a transaction or making an exchange within your Account. The exchange rate for a particular transaction can always be found in your transaction history and will also be sent to you along with the receipt.
11. Our Approach to Security Checks and Verifications
We reserve the right to request additional information and/or supporting documents from you at any time in order to carry out the verification process in relation to your identity or a specific transaction and you undertake to provide us with the necessary cooperation. We reserve the right to request information and/or supporting documents from you in order to prove that a deposit bank account held with an overseas bank is registered in the name of the Account holder. We reserve the right to conduct anti-money laundering and know-your-customer checks during and after the period of you having opened an Account with us including checking commercial databases or credit reports. We shall retain records of such customer checks in accordance with Applicable law. You agree that we may carry out checks and verifications ourselves or in cooperation with third parties.
Should you not comply with our requirements, we reserve the right not to open an Account for you, or suspend and/or to terminate an existing Account. You warrant that all information you provide to us is accurate, complete, correct and adequate and you warrant to notify us about any updates and changes.
If any information in any form filled by you becomes incorrect, obsolete or incomplete, or there is any change in circumstances which affects your tax residence, you undertake to advise Walletory via support@walletory.com within 30 (thirty) Business days of such a change.
Following the creation of your Account, additionally, you will be instructed to ensure its security by a two-factor authentication. Afterwards, you will be required to perform two-factor authentication when confirming certain types of transactions, otherwise the transaction will not be processed. After authorisation, the request for processing the transaction is sent to us for assessment and execution. Once the transaction is processed, the E-Money can only be refunded under certain conditions using the procedure in Section 14 below.
We reserve the right to delay the processing of a transaction to ensure compliance with the security and legal requirements set out in these Terms or Applicable law. In such case, we may contact you to request additional information relating to the transaction. At our sole discretion, we shall have the right to refuse your transaction in respect of risk or other circumstances we deem relevant.
12. Fees
When using our Services, you shall be obliged to pay Fees in accordance with the Fees table. The Fees will be deducted automatically.

When making a transaction, you must not set an amount that exceeds the balance in your Account plus applicable Fees at the time of the request. If you attempt to do so, your transaction request will be rejected by us.

Your Account may not be closed until all remaining E-Money have been withdrawn. The remaining E-Money will primarily be withdrawn to the linked bank account at the time of the Account closure. If this is not possible either because your Account is not linked to a bank account or because of an error on your side or on the side of the payment service provider, the E-Money will be kept by us and can be claimed back by you within the 6 (six) years following the closing of your Account via support@walletory.com.

This Fee shall be deducted from the dormant Account balance until either the Account becomes active, or the Account holder requests closure of the Account, or the Account balance reaches zero, whichever occurs first.
