4. Using the Service
4.1. You don’t need to create a TransferGo Business Profile to visit or use most areas of our website. However, to use the Service and access restricted areas of our website, you will need to register and set up a Business Profile, and provide certain information about yourself and your Business. If during registration you provided a name and surname that do not match your identification documents submitted to us, you agree that we will autocorrect your details according to your identification documents.
4.2. Your use of the Service requires a Business Profile. You are solely responsible for your Business Profile and the maintenance, confidentiality, and security of your Business Profile, including all related passwords and passcodes, as well as any activities that occur under your Business Profile whether initiated by you or by others who gain access to your Business Profile with or without your permission.
4.3. You must: (i) change your password and/or passcode regularly and ensure that they are not used across other online accounts; (ii) contact us if anyone asks for your TransferGo password and/or passcode; (iii) always follow recommended password and/or passcode management practices; (iv) set up two-factor authentication where prompted; (v) keep your email account secure. You may reset your Business Profile password and/or passcode using your email address and phone number. Let us know immediately if your email address becomes compromised.
4.4. You must not: (i) disclose your TransferGo Business Profile password, passcode, or reference number. Keep them safe; (ii) allow anyone to access your Business Profile or watch you access it; (iii) use any functionality that allows your login details, passwords, or passcode to be stored by the computer or browser you are using, or otherwise cached; (iv) do anything that may compromise the two-factor authentication process.
4.5. You must ensure that you only enter your TransferGo username, password, and/or passcode on our official website via a browser, at https://www.transfergo.com/. Be aware that fraudsters may send emails and SMS messages containing links to fake login portals designed to phish your login information and two-factor authentication details. Additionally, criminals may place malicious advertisements on search engines that lead to fake websites impersonating trusted businesses, including TransferGo.
4.6. Additional security measures
4.6.1. Always verify the URL of the website before entering your login credentials. The secured TransferGo website always begins with “https://” and displays a padlock icon in the address bar.
4.6.2. Be cautious of any unsolicited communications asking for your Business Profile details or directing you to log in. TransferGo will never ask you to disclose your full password, passcode or two-factor authentication code.
4.6.3. Regularly check your Business Profile and Business Account activity and transaction history. Report any suspicious or unrecognised transactions to our Customer Support team immediately.
4.7. You agree to immediately notify TransferGo if you suspect that you have fallen victim to a scam or if there is any unauthorised use of your Business Profile, any service provided through your Business Profile, or any password, passcode related to your Business Profile, or any other breach of security. You also agree to provide assistance, as requested, to stop or remedy any breach of security related to your Business Profile. You can reach our support team through the “Contact Us” section of our website, or by emailing to hello@transfergo.com.
4.8. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information as requested from time to time and to promptly notify us of any changes to this information to ensure that it remains accurate, current, and complete.
4.9. You don’t need a Business Account to make money transfers with us. You can use these services when you log in to your Business Profile, subject to our terms.
4.10. If you use our Services solely to make money transfers or maintain a Business Profile with TransferGo without a Business Account, you agree to this Agreement each time you use our service in this way. When you open a Business Account, this Agreement applies to that Business Account while it is open.
4.11. When you make a transfer with us, it is your responsibility to make sure that all transfer details are complete, accurate, and correct (including, but not limited to, the Receiver’s details and their banking details). We may not always be able to let you change the details of your transfer once submitted for processing, and they will be treated as correct (even if a mistake was made). You may be entitled to a refund in certain circumstances, and you can cancel a valid transfer at any time while it is pending. If you provide incorrect information with your payment instructions, we will use reasonable efforts to recover the funds for you, but this is not guaranteed, and we may need to charge you a fee.
4.12. You must notify us by sending an email to hello@transfergo.com of any unauthorised or incorrectly initiated or executed payment transactions as soon as you become aware of them, and no later than 13 months after the debit date, in order to be entitled to have the error corrected. If you are not a consumer, a micro-enterprise or a charity as defined under the PSRs, you must notify us no later than 2 months after the debit date, upon becoming aware of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions.

5.5. You may not place any charge or other form of security over your Business Account.

5.7. our transaction history is displayed on your Business Profile. You may view your money transfer statement and/or Business Account statement by logging into your Business Profile.
5.8. You can add money to your Business Account by:

6. Payment
6.1. Our Service allows you (the ‘Sender’, a business who intends to send funds through the transfer) to send money from any of the countries in which we operate (the ‘Supported Countries’) to any person or business in the same or another Supported Country (the ‘Receiver’).
6.1.1. Please note that we are always expanding the list of Supported Countries. For the most up-to-date list, please check our calculator on the website.
6.1.2. TransferGo reserves the right to cease providing the Services in any of the Supported Countries at any time and without prior notice.
6.2. To transfer money to a Receiver, you will need to provide payment instructions through the Service. This will include, but is not limited to, the Receiver’s full name, address, account number, Bank Identifier Code (‘SWIFT’ or ‘BIC’), ‘Reference’ (if applicable), and the amount you wish to send (the ‘Transaction Amount’).
6.3. While we may offer “confirmation of payee” services for certain payments, the final decision on whether to proceed with those payments rests solely with you. These services are designed to help you make a more informed choice. However, the information provided through this service comes from the institution holding the payee’s account, not from us. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
6.4. It is solely your responsibility to make sure all the transaction details are accurate before submission.
6.5. Providing inaccurate details can cause delays in processing your transaction or can lead to it being cancelled. Once a transaction has been submitted for processing, TransferGo may, at its sole discretion, attempt to cancel a transfer at your request, but cannot guarantee success if a transfer has been duly authorised and submitted (please refer to the ‘Cancellation and refund’ section).
6.6. Before you confirm a transaction, we will provide you with the foreign exchange conversion rate that will be applied, along with the fee we will charge (the ‘Transaction Fee’).
6.7. We will also provide you with the estimated amount the Receiver will obtain (the ‘Payout Amount’) after currency conversion and Transaction Fee deduction.
6.8. The actual amount that the Receiver gets may differ from the Payout Amount due to additional fees applied by banks or other service providers. Please see the section ‘Other fees, charges, and interest’.
6.9. Once you initiate a transaction, we will generate a unique transaction identification number and provide you with funding instructions, including our bank account details, or request your card details (if that is your chosen payment), so that you can deposit the Transaction Amount and pay us the required Transaction Fee.
6.10. The funds will be paid into the Receiver’s account or any supported receiving method in the Receiver’s Supported Country stated in the online form. Once your transfer has been accepted and the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee received by TransferGo, we will credit the Transaction Amount into the Receiver’s bank account in the requested currency and within the chosen delivery time.
6.10.1. We will not contact the Receiver when funds become available in their account.
6.10.2. We will store the provided Receiver information so you can easily make transactions to them in the future.
6.10.3. We will attempt to process transactions promptly, but they may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: our efforts to perform verification checks or due diligence reviews; to validate your transaction instructions; to contact you; to comply with applicable law; variations in business hours and currency availability; additional compliance requirements and/or operating procedures and business guidelines our partners have in place.
6.10.4. Delivery times quoted on our website and in these Terms and Conditions are representative of the ‘normal’ / average service and are not a guarantee of an individual Service or transaction time.
6.10.5. ‘Business Day’, for the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday in the United Kingdom, or in the Sender’s/Receiver’s jurisdiction when banks are open for business.
6.10.6. Banks have specified cut-off times for the receipt and dispatch of electronic payments. You acknowledge and agree that TransferGo cannot be held liable for any delay in onward payment attributable to the late arrival of funds or instruction of payment related to these cut-off times.
6.10.7. If you notice that funds that do not belong to you have been credited to your Business Account, you must inform us immediately. If any amount is incorrectly credited to your Business Account, we may debit it without your separate consent. If you no longer have the funds in your Business Account to cover such a debit, you must repay us within 3 Business Days of receiving our request. If you fail to cooperate and refund the funds, TransferGo will take legal and enforcement action.
6.10.8. We keep your money safe. We partner with financial institutions that hold the funds of customers separately from our own funds in accordance with applicable regulations. This is known as safeguarding. As your funds are safeguarded, on the insolvency of an institution, claims of e-money holders or payment service users are paid from the asset pool formed from these funds in priority to all other creditors (excluding the costs involved in distributing the asset pool), you (and all our other customers) would be paid out from any accounts safeguarded by our financial institution partner before anyone else. This process would be handled by an insolvency practitioner, not by us. Because we are a digital payment service, not a bank, your money is not protected by the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which protects up to £85,000 of your money). Instead, we use a safeguarding approach by separating your money from our own funds. For further information on how we look after your money, please visit our Help Centre.
7. Your payment details
7.1. We will ask you to provide details of the Payment Instrument you wish to use, such as your credit card, debit card, or bank account (your ‘Payment Instrument’), so that we can collect payment from you when you initiate a transaction.
7.2. You authorise us to debit your chosen Payment Instrument with the Transaction Amount and Transaction Fee. You represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of this Payment Instrument(s) and that the details you supply are accurate.
7.3. f your payment fails or is insufficient, you authorise us to re-try one or more times to debit your selected Payment Instrument.
7.4. TransferGo will take no responsibility for any fees or charges you may incur for using a particular Payment Instrument. These may include, but are not limited to, unauthorised overdraft fees resulting from insufficient funds in your bank account or ‘cash advance’ fees and additional interest imposed by credit card providers should they treat the use of the Service as a cash transaction rather than a purchase transaction.
8. Exchange rates
8.1. We will let you know the exchange rate when you place your payment order.
8.2. ‘Exchange rate’ in the Terms and Conditions refers to the exchange rate at the relevant time for the relevant currency pair that is offered by us, which is typically provided by a reference rate provider. We may change our reference rate provider from time to time without providing you notice.
8.3. We will notify you of the guaranteed rate and the guaranteed time period when you create your transfer. Guaranteed periods are subject to the following conditions:
8.3.1. The guaranteed period may be extended if your transfer is created over the weekend or public holiday.
8.3.2. We must receive sufficient funds from you during the guaranteed period in order to convert your money at the guaranteed rate. You will see when we have received your money by logging in to your Business Profile.
8.3.3. If we receive your funds after the guaranteed period, we will not be able to convert your money using the guaranteed rate, and your transfer will become a non-guaranteed rate transfer. Accordingly, we may convert your money at the applicable exchange rate or email you to ask whether you want to proceed with your transfer at the new exchange rate.
8.3.4. If the relevant exchange rate (as provided by our reference exchange rate provider) changes by 5% or more during the guaranteed period, we can, at our own discretion, suspend your transfer for a reasonable period of time or cancel it and refund you.
8.3.5. We may change these guaranteed rate conditions or suspend the guaranteed rate feature at any time.
8.4. The total amount (the Transaction Amount, Transaction Fee, and other applicable fees and charges) to be paid, along with the relevant exchange rate, will be displayed clearly on the website before you are asked to confirm your transaction. Proceeding with the transaction from this point is entirely optional.
8.5. This exchange rate will apply even when there is a delay in processing your transaction.
8.6. We are not a currency-trading platform. Therefore, you should not use our Services for any kind of trading. If we determine that you are using our Services for this purpose, you will have broken these Terms and Conditions, and we reserve the right to (i) cancel the transaction and refund your payment; (ii) suspend or close your Business Profile and/or Business Account and seek disgorgement of your gains.
9. Other fees, charges, and interest
9.1. If your transaction results in TransferGo becoming liable for fees or charges, such as chargeback or other fees, you agree to reimburse us. For the avoidance of doubt, we also reserve the right to deduct such fees from your Business Profile and/or Business Account.
9.2. If you selected a pay-in method that gives you chargeback rights (for example, you may ask your card provider to reverse a transaction on your credit card), you promise that you will only exercise this chargeback right if: (i) we have breached these Terms andConditions; or (ii) there was unauthorised use of your Payment Instrument.
9.3. You promise that you will not exercise your chargeback right in instances where we are not responsible, including a dispute with your Receiver, or if there are insufficient funds in your Payment Instrument. If we need to investigate or take any actions in connection with a chargeback raised by you, we may charge you for the costs involved and deduct this amount from your Business Profile and/or Business Account.
9.4. In order for us to collect payment from you, you authorise us, in accordance with any requirements under applicable law, to access, charge, or debit funds from, any of your Payment Instruments.
9.4.1. For example, if there are insufficient funds in your bank account at the time you submit your transaction, we may try to debit your bank account, in accordance with applicable laws and rules, or charge your credit card at a later time.
9.4.2. TransferGo is not responsible for any charges applied by the Receiver’s bank resulting from the receipt of funds.
9.5. You should contact the Receiver’s bank directly for details about any charges that may be applicable to the transaction.
9.6. You will not be entitled to any interest for the period during which the funds to be remitted are with the bank, pending remittance, in the course of remittance, or for any other period. TransferGo may, at any time and at our sole discretion, limit the transfer amount, either on a per-transaction basis or on an aggregated basis.
9.7. On certain occasions, intermediary bank fees may be applicable. In such cases, TransferGo may refuse to cover the fees. TransferGo is not liable for covering fees imposed by the Receiver’s bank.
9.8. You must always maintain a zero or positive balance in your Business Account. If your account balance becomes negative, you agree to repay the negative amount immediately. We may take steps to recover this amount, including, but not limited to, using a debt collection service or taking legal action.
10. Cancellation and refund
10.1. You may cancel your money transfer before we receive your funds by following the instructions set out in our Help Centre. You cannot cancel your money transfer once your funds have been received and the transfer initiated.
10.2. If you wish to cancel a transaction and/or request a refund, you can send an email to hello@transfergo.com. Alternatively, you can contact us via the contact information supplied at the bottom of theseTerms and Conditions.
10.3. We will consider your request for a refund (submitted by email, mail, or phone), if we are able to identify you as the Sender.
10.4. For us to identify you, you must contact us from your registered email address, and provide your full name, registered address, and phone number, together with the transaction identification number, Transaction Amount, and the reason for your refund request. We will credit back any refunds to the Payment Instrument from which the transaction was made, and in the same currency unless we cannot identify the Sender’s bank account.
10.5. If we cannot identify the Sender’s bank account, we will contact the Sender and ask them to provide the same currency bank account details in order to refund the transfer.
10.6. For successful revocations, TransferGo will normally refund your money to the Payment Instrument from which the transaction was made, and in the same currency, excluding any reasonable revocation, recall, or tracing charges and any Transaction Fees already charged. No adjustment will be made for any currency fluctuations that may have occurred. We will only refund the Transaction Amount if the transaction was not paid out to the Receiver (in which case we will also cancel your pending transaction).
10.7. In circumstances where the Sender wants to recall a payment that has already been credited to the Receiver’s bank account, they may do so. However, TransferGo cannot guarantee the cancellation will be successful.
10.8. In those circumstances, we would make reasonable efforts to recover the funds. We may charge you a reasonable fee reflective of our efforts. However, there is no guarantee that the cancellation will be successful.
10.9. You may recover the full amount of executed transfers initiated by or through the Receiver, if: (i) a precise amount was not specified when the transfer was authorised; and (ii) the transfer amount exceeds what could have been reasonably expected of you. We will request information regarding these conditions. You can request a refund within 8 weeks of the debit date, and we will repay the full amount within 10 working days. If we refuse your request, we will explain why and specify the procedure for appealing against this decision.
11. Collection of Information

12. Technology Configuration and Security
12.1. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your information technology, computer programs, mobile devices, and platforms are properly configured to access and use our Services.

13.5. We will notify you as soon as we can if we are unable to perform a transaction for any of these reasons, and will take reasonable measures to secure the return of any money.

13.7. For security reasons, we recommend that you only send money to trusted and verified businesses and third parties that you know or have previously done business with. Exercise caution when sending money to recievers you do not know and have never dealt with before.
