  • 2.1. All transactions conducted with us will be assigned an individual transaction reference number.

Where a client wishes to send more, he/she/they will be required to provide further documents e.g., bank statement, utility bills, employer work contract, latest salary payment slip, lottery win certificate, certificate of inheritance/payment, etc.
  • 2.3. By completing and consenting to the information required to make a money transfer and by accepting Our Terms and Conditions (T&C), the Sender approves Redeem GmbH to execute a specific money transfer on their behalf. Every individual transaction will constitute a separate agreement between Redeem GmbH and the Sender/Remitter which is limited to the execution of ONLY a specific transaction associated with a transaction reference number. At no point in time is a framework agreement concluded between Yourself and Us which obligates Us to execute concurrent individual and subsequent money transfers on Your behalf.
  • 2.4. Regulatory requirements: We undertake to make the agreed transfer funds available to the recipients via either Bank, Mobile Wallet, Cash-Pick up at the latest 24 Hours following the Business Day on which the funds were received on our Bank account (“Day of Receipt”) or paid over the counter (OTC) at our physical office. The moment of receipt takes effect when We receive the funds to be transferred along with all associated fees and the transfer Identification Number / Reference. For transaction whose settlement funds are sent to our Bank account, all funds not received within 48 Hours of initiating the transfer(s) will lead to cancellation of the transaction(s).
  • 2.5. Applicable Anti Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Laws prohibits money transmitters from doing business with certain individuals or countries; Redeem Transfer screens all Transactions against lists of names provided by the governments of the countries and territories in which We do business, including the USA`s - Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the European Union. If a potential match is identified, we will research the Transaction to determine if the name matched is indeed the individual on the relevant list. For this purpose, we are entitled to request from the Sender or the designated Receiver additional details and information which may cause the Transaction to be delayed. This is a legal requirement for all Transactions which Redeem GmbH will process.
  • 2.6. Transfer Fees: Information about transfer fees for a transaction will be indicated in our website or App after the User has entered all required fields. The Sender shall bear all fees (local taxes and service charges) shown in the transaction details. The Receiver may incur additional fees for receiving the Sender’s funds through an account-based money transfer to a bank account. Money transfers are sent to a Receiver’s local currency account. The receiving institution may reject the money transfer. The sender will be notified of the transaction status via Phone call, Email or SMS.
  • 2.7. We only provide the service of transferring fund at our physical office, Website or App or through our approved Agents. Any person using our website or App must during registration submit his or her identity in addition to all other information We will require to approve the User before using Our services. For every transaction, all details required by Redeem GmbH especially the name of the Receiver, relationship with Receiver, Receiver`s bank account Information and country, amount of money transferred, source of fund, purpose of transfer and all other information and requirements at the time the approval for transfer was given to Redeem GmbH must be submitted.
  • 2.8. Payments could be affected if the transaction information provided by the Sender contains mistakes. In the event of inconsistencies in the Information provided by the Sender (including accounts, receivers name) etc., the transfer will be blocked for maximum 5 working days asking the Sender to provide all relevant information before the transaction will be executed. Such cases could be reported by Redeem to PolyReg and Switzerland Financial Regulatory Body if any acts of Money Laundering are suspected and perceived.
  • 2.9. Transfer payments will be made only in the currency chosen by the sender during the transaction. If any unsupported currency is exhibited on our platform and the customer initiates the transfer, we will cancel this transaction and inform the client.
  • 2.10. We calculate the exchange based on best commercially available interbank rates as provided by our payout partners. The rates could change several times each day in line with the closing rates of global financial markets. The exchange rate for any transaction is shown to you after selecting the destination country in the required fields. The amount which the receiver will receive in the local currency will also be displayed.
  • 2.11. SMS – If permitted by the sender and according to local laws, Redeem GmbH can offer SMS to be sent to the Sender’s mobile number provided at the time of registration or during the transaction confirmation. We may offer to send SMS notification to the Sender that the transferred funds have been paid to the Receivers. When We offer SMS notification and a customer chooses this option, some additional charges may apply as this service is offered through 3rd party APIs. The amount charged will be shown to the Customer/User and he can select or opt out of this option. We are not responsible for any charges associated with receiving SMS messages. We will send SMS messages to a gateway for forwarding; however, forwarding is the responsibility of third parties, and cannot be guaranteed.
