08841430, with address at The Wingate, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, United Kingdom, W1D
5DY, (”us”, “Trustly") on the terms and conditions set out below.

English.
2. THE TERMS
2.1 These Terms and Conditions cover both PIS and AIS. Depending on your specific interaction,
your user journey may involve one or both of these services.
2.2 These Terms apply each time you use the Services. You must agree to the Terms in force at
any given time in order to use the Service, so please make sure to read these Terms carefully
each time you use the Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, you cannot use the
Services.
2.3 You are entitled to receive these Terms in the physical form of a document or in some other
permanent form, by contacting our Support team (see contact details below). You can view the
latest version of these Terms at any time via our website and in direct connection with using our
Services.
2.4 By using our Services, you consent to Trustly collecting and processing your information from
your online bank. This is done in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which outlines our
compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act
2018. The Privacy Policy also details the purposes for which your data is used, including
sharing it with the "Merchant" (the organisation from which you intend to purchase goods or
services) and/or other entities as set out in the Privacy Policy.
2.5 Trustly will never come into possession of your bank login information and bank security
credentials (“Credentials”).
3. ABOUT THE SERVICES
3.1 You will find Trustly on a Merchant’s website from which you wish to make a purchase from, or
authenticate yourself to. Trustly acts as a Payment Initiation Service and/or Account Information
Service provider. Upon your instruction, Trustly provides a service to enable the transfer of
funds from your bank to a Merchant or obtains information from your bank and shares this with
the Merchant or others as described in the Privacy Policy.
3.2 It is important to understand that Trustly does not store or manage your funds. We act as an
agent for merchants, securing their funds. Your bank account funds and relationship with your
bank are solely your responsibility.
Payment Initiation Services
3.3 You can use Trustly's PIS to make a payment from your online bank to the Merchant you wish to
make a purchase from.
3.4 When you choose to make a transaction to an online Merchant, you will typically be directed to
a Trustly page to select your payment account provider (your online bank). Once you have
clicked “continue” (or similar call for action button), you will be deemed to have expressly
requested Trustly to initiate the PIS transaction. Trustly will redirect you to your online banking
application, where you will be required to log-in and authenticate yourself towards your bank
using your Credentials.
3.5 You will be presented with the available bank accounts with your bank and required to select
which account(s) you wish to make the transaction from.
3.6 By selecting your bank account(s), you are instructing Trustly to initiate a transaction of the
required amount, details of which will be clearly displayed to you. You will then be asked to use
the Credentials provided by your bank to authorise the transaction.
3.7 Once the transaction is authorised with your bank, funds will usually leave or be reserved in
your bank account immediately and Trustly will then confirm the successful initiation of the
transaction. Following this, you cannot request Trustly to cancel the transaction.
3.8 The transaction is transferred via general clearing systems. Compliance with regulatory
obligations by both your bank and the Merchant’s bank can sometimes cause delays to
processing times that are beyond our control.
3.9 If your bank confirms to us that the payment was successfully initiated, Trustly will confirm to
the Merchant that the payment is on its way.
3.10 Trustly may share information about your transaction with the Merchant , including your name,
the name of your bank, or your account details. The information that Trustly will share with the
Merchant will be disclosed to you before you consent to Trustly's PIS and accept these Terms.
3.11 If you wish to receive a refund of the payment for any reason, you should contact the Merchant
or your bank.
Account Information Services
3.12 You can use Trustly's AIS to obtain account information from your online bank and share this
information with the Merchant that you wish to make a purchase from and/or others as set out
in the Privacy Policy
3.13 Once you have entered all the required details into the various parts of the Trustly online
interface and clicked “continue” (or similar call-for-action button), you will be deemed to have
expressly requested Trustly to perform the AIS. Trustly will redirect you to your online banking
application, where you will be required to log-in and authenticate yourself towards your bank
using your Credentials.
3.14 You will be presented with the available bank accounts with your bank and required to select
the account(s) that you wish to obtain information from.
3.15 With your consent, Trustly will share the account information with the Merchant and/or others
as set out in the Privacy Policy. The information shared could include your name, the name of
your bank, or your account details (“Account Information Data”). The information that will be
shared will be disclosed to you before you consent to Trustly's AIS and accept these Terms.
3.16 Once you have authorised the AIS with your bank, the Account Information Data will usually be
shared with Trustly immediately so you cannot withdraw or revoke the authorisation after this
time.
3.17 The processing time for the collection of Account Information Data varies depending on how
long it takes you to identify against the bank and how much information will be retrieved but will
be completed as soon as possible after your request to Trustly and subsequent authorisation
with your bank.

transaction of the User, or other consequences as called for.

action of the User or any other cause or similar circumstances beyond Trustly’s reasonable

14. SEVERANCE
14.1 If any provision of these Terms is found by any court or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
