Terms and Conditions

Definitions

In this agreement, “Account” means your Barclaycard Commercial Account with us for which we have issued Card Account Details under the terms of this agreement. “Business Credit Limit” means the maximum debit balance allowed on your Account. Within the Business Credit Limit we may also define a “Cash Limit” which will be the total amount which can be drawn down through cash or cheque Transactions. “Card” means any valid card which shall include but not be limited to corporate cards, purchasing cards, single use cards or other device or payment mechanism (including but not limited to virtual cards) issued to you and that  is linked to your Card Account Details. “Card Account Details” means your card account number, expiry date and card security codes (CVV2 number or equivalent). A “Transaction” means any purchase made or cash advance obtained by the use of the Card Account Details. “We”“us” and “our” refer to Barclays Bank PLC, its subsidiaries, associated and affiliated companies. “You” and “your” means the organisation entering into this agreement, being a partnership, limited partnership, limited company, charity, public authority or other entity (corporate or otherwise) and includes any agents or employees authorised to act on your behalf. “Verification Information” means any passwords, passcode, biometric data such as voice recognition or behavioural data (including how you usually make your transactions, the type and how often you make them) and security codes etc (including, for example, a PIN) used to identify you as authorised to use the Card Account Details.

 

1. Using your Account

1.1. This agreement applies to your Account under which we provide you with credit up to your Business Credit Limit. The Business Credit Limit includes your Cash Limit where applicable. We will provide you with credit in the manner set out in and subject to these terms and conditions. All Card Accounts under this agreement are charge cards accounts. Therefore, you must pay your outstanding statement balance in full on or before the due date on the statement or as agreed with us.

1.2. We will tell you your Business Credit Limit, which will be determined at our discretion, when you receive your Account details. We may change your Business Credit Limit based on our assessment of your Account and will tell you about these changes. If we reduce your Business Credit Limit based on an assessment of risk or your ability to repay, we have the right to not give you notice beforehand if we think this would be inappropriate. We won’t reduce your Business Credit Limit to be less than your total outstanding balance, plus any transactions authorised but not yet charged to your Account.

1.3. If cash is enabled on your Card it may only be used for cash advances within the daily cash advance limit agreed by us and notified to you from time to time.

1.4. We may send you another Card or new Card Account Details, as a replacement for an existing Card or as an additional Card on your Account. The Card that we send you may have a different account number, different branding or be part of a different card acceptance scheme. The terms that apply to the new Card Account Details will be the same or better than your existing terms. We will tell you about any changes to the terms under Condition 7. You can ask us to issue additional Card Account Details on your Account.

1.5. We may from time to time allow the use of cheques on your Account. If we do allow this we will notify you when we send the cheques. Cheques cannot be used to make payments to us.

1.6. Cards, Card Account Details and any unused Barclaycard cheques belong to us. Where Condition 9 applies we can ask you not to use them and you must destroy them. If we believe Card Account Details are being misused, we may put a stop on them or ask others to retain cards for us for the reasons set out in Conditions 9.1 and 9.2.

1.7. You must not exceed either your Business Credit Limit or your Cash Limit. We may refuse any Transaction if we reasonably consider that it could result in you exceeding either limit. If we authorise a Transaction and you exceed your Business Credit Limit or your Cash Limit as a result this does not mean that we have agreed to an increase in the relevant limit.

1.8. When considering whether you might exceed your Business Credit Limit (or your Cash Limit if applicable) as a result of a Transaction, we may take into account amounts that have not yet been added to your Account balance such as prospective Transactions that we have authorised or interest, fees or charges that you might incur.

1.9. If there is a credit balance on your Account we may return it to you.

1.10. Subject to Condition 6, you are responsible for all use of your Account by Card Account holders, even if they do something which makes you break this agreement. You must ensure they use their Card Account Details according to the terms of this agreement.

1.11. If you use your Card Account Details for Transactions other than in your billing currency, the Transaction is converted to your billing currency at a daily exchange rate (which includes the foreign exchange fee listed above) on the day it is processed by the relevant card scheme. The daily exchange rate is available if you contact us in accordance with Condition 11. This may not be the same as the exchange rate on the date the Transaction is made or posted to your Account.

1.12. Card Account Details cannot be used for the following purposes:
1.12.1. for any illegal purpose or in any manner prohibited by law  
1.12.2. for  expenditure  that is not on behalf of your business
1.12.3. to  attempt to make certain types of Transactions  that we have told you that you should not carry out. We may tell you about such types of Transactions from time to time
1.12.4. to attempt to buy or trade in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin

1.13. Where you have Card Account Details that you no longer require, you must notify us immediately and we will deactivate them, if you have a Card you are responsible for destroying it. Where Card Account Details are held by an employee or agent on your behalf, you must tell us as soon as possible if they have ceased or are about to cease their employment with you or if you withdraw their authority to use the Card Account Details.

1.14 You will provide the following information to us no later than 10 (ten) business days from receipt of a request from us: (a) audited annual accounts; and (b) such other information as we may reasonably request relating to the current financial position of you.

 

2. How to make Transactions

2.1. If you want to make a Transaction you must use the Card Account Details and, if required, your Verification Information.

2.2. After you have authorised a payment from your account, we cannot change or cancel it, unless you withdraw your authorisation. You can only withdraw your authorisation for transactions that have been authorised for a future date (such as recurring transactions) by contacting either us or the retailer.  You must withdraw your authorisation before the end of the week day (excluding bank holidays) before the transaction is due to be paid. We will use our best efforts to stop these transactions from being charged to your account.   As recurring transactions are initiated by the retailer, you may wish to contact the retailer as well to stop the transaction being initiated. If the recurring transaction is incorrectly paid after you have withdrawn your authorisation, we will refund the transaction amount together with any related charges or interest. 

 

3. When to make payments to us

3.1. You must make all payments (including but not limited to all Transactions regardless of Business Credit Limit and any and all fees and charges whether or not paid through or charged by us but which may be charged by any government or regulatory body) by the payment due date and in your nominated billing currency. Your statement will tell you how to make payments to reach us on time. Where we become aware that your payment was received on or before the payment due date but credited to your Account after this date because of an error by us, we will either refund or not charge any late payment fees or interest.

3.2. We will produce a monthly statement showing your payments to us and all the amounts we have put on your Account since your last statement. We’ll post your monthly statement or email you to let you know that it has been placed within online account servicing. You must tell us if your statement includes something you think is wrong. 

 

  

October 2018

 

 

3.3. Where we do not receive the statement balance in full by the due date we will charge interest on the unpaid balance calculated on a daily basis from the statement date until repaid in full. This includes interest on any fees or charges if applicable.

3.4  Subject to any conflicting term in your Agreement (which shall remain in full force and effect) we can send, or make available to you, important information electronically (e.g. by email) including legal notices that we are required to give you, such as notices of variation which tell you about changes to your Agreement. These may form part of your monthly statement.

3.5 Payments should not be made from any employee’s personal accounts unless we have agreed to this

 

4. Protecting your Card Account Details

4.1 You must:

4.1.1. keep the Card Account Details safe and not allow anyone else to use them without your authorisation; and

4.1.2. learn your Verification Information and keep it safe at all times. Never write a PIN on a Card or on anything usually kept with it, or write down or record the PIN or other security information without first disguising it. Always destroy the letter with your PIN.

4.2. You must only reveal your Card Account Details to make a Transaction, to report the loss or theft of the Card Account Details, to grant access to an authorised third party or if we allow you to do so.

4.3. You must ensure that any Card is signed immediately on receipt and that you comply with any reasonable instructions that we may give about using Card Account Details, including PINs, and keeping them safe.

4.4. You must implement reasonable measures to prevent and / or detect unauthorised Transactions and fraudulent Account use and minimise losses as a consequence of fraud, including but not limited to, cooperating with and following any reasonable direction from us in the implementation of reasonable rules, procedures and controls to identify unauthorised Transactions, lost or stolen Card Account Details and / or Cards and fraudulent account use. You  must also conduct a full monthly reconciliation of all expenditure on the Account against our transaction file to enable early detection of unauthorised Transactions and transaction data or trends that might indicate fraud

 

5. Lost or compromised Card Account Details

5.1. You must tell us as soon as possible using the contact details in Condition 11 if:

5.1.1. your Card Account Details or any cheques or Cards associated with your Account are lost or stolen, (if you later find them you must destroy them),

5.1.2. if you think that the Card Account Details may have been compromised (which includes if they are used without proper authorisation), or

5.1.3. your Verification Information has been compromised.

5.2. You must give us all the information you have about the loss, theft or misuse. We may give the police any information we think will be useful.

5.3. You will not be responsible for any Transactions if the Card Account Details are lost or stolen or if a Card is misused before you receive it, but you must tell us as soon as you become aware. If someone uses your Card Account Details and obtained them with your permission, you may be liable for all the Transactions which take place before you tell us that they may be misused. You will not be liable for any Transactions where you have not given permission for someone else to use the Card Account Details.

5.4. You will be liable for Transactions if your Card Account Details are lost or stolen or misused in the circumstances set out in Condition 6.3.

5.5. You must tell us as soon as possible using the contact details in the Cardholder Guide if your card is lost or stolen, if you think that the card may be misused or that someone else may know the PIN. If you later find your card you must cut it vertically through the magnetic stripe and the Chip and return it to us. You must give us all the information you have about the loss, theft or misuse.

 

6. Refunds and claims against us

6.1. As long as you notify us within 60 days of the relevant statement date, and subject to Condition 6.2, if you confirm to us that a Transaction from your Account was not authorised in accordance with these Conditions, we will immediately refund the amount applied and return your Account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised Transaction had not taken place. This means, for example, that we will refund interest or charges which we applied as a result of the unauthorised Transaction being applied to your Account. We will have no further liability to you. We may ask you to confirm in writing that you did not authorise the Transaction. If we subsequently discover that you were not entitled to a refund, we shall treat the refund as a mistake and be entitled to reapply the Transaction, including any interest and charges, to your Account.

6.2. If there are reasonable grounds for thinking that you may not be entitled to a refund, we may investigate before giving you a refund. Any investigation will be carried out as quickly as possible in the circumstances and, unless we can show that the Transaction was authorised by you or that you are liable for the Transaction under these Conditions, we will immediately refund the amount applied and return your Account to the position it would have been in if the unauthorised Transaction had not taken place.

6.3. However:
(a) if you have acted fraudulently, you will be liable for all Transactions made from your Account; and
(b) if the Transaction was made because you deliberately or with gross negligence failed to keep your Card Account Details secure or your PIN or your Verification Information safe, you may be liable for all Transactions on your Account that take place until you tell us (as required by Condition 5.1) that your Card Account Details, PIN or Verification Information has been compromised. After you have told us you will not have any further liability for unauthorised Transactions.

6.4. We will only refund a Transaction if the supplier asks us to or in accordance with Conditions 6.1 and 6.2. You cannot use a claim you may have against someone else to make a claim against us, or refuse to pay us, unless you have a legal right to do so. You cannot transfer any rights against us to anyone else.

6.5. Where you have given your Card Account Details to a supplier in the European Economic Area for the purposes of making a Transaction, you can ask us to refund the Transaction if all the following conditions are satisfied:

6.5.1. the authorisation you gave did not specify the exact amount to be paid;

6.5.2. the amount that has been charged to your Account was more than you could reasonably have expected to pay, based on the circumstances, including previous spending patterns; and

6.5.3. you make the refund request within eight weeks of the date when the Transaction was charged to your Account.

6.6. We will ask you to provide information which is reasonably necessary to allow us to investigate whether or not you are entitled to a refund under Condition 6.5.

 

7. Changing the terms of this agreement

7.1. We may change the terms of this agreement, including interest rates and charges, or introduce a charge for any service provided under or in connection with this agreement, on two months’ written notice by post, email, online account servicing or any other written communication.

 

 

 

 

4

7.2. When we make a change under Condition 7.1 we will tell you the date when it comes into effect. If you do not want to continue the agreement with the change, you must write to us under Condition 8.1 to end the agreement. You will need to pay off the total outstanding balance to end the agreement and the change will apply to your agreement until it ends.

 

8. Ending this agreement

8.1. This agreement has no fixed duration: it will continue until you or we choose to close your Account. Either of us can close the Account by giving written notice to the other. You may alternatively notify us by telephone by calling us on the number on your statement. Unless Condition 8.2 applies, we will give you two months’ notice before we close the Account. You must destroy all Card Account Details and cancel any instructions you have given to others to charge Transactions to your Account. You must make all payments due and this agreement will continue until all amounts you owe have been paid including amounts added to your Account after the notice to close the Account. Where you have paid an annual fee we will refund the annual fee on a proportionate basis dependent on the number of months which have elapsed from the date the annual fee was added to your Account.

8.2. We may close your Account and require you to repay immediately all amounts you owe us under this agreement if:

8.2.1. we reasonably believe that you have broken this agreement or any other agreement you have with us regularly or seriously; or

8.2.2. any step, application or proceeding is taken by you, or in respect of the whole or any part of your organisation, for a voluntary arrangement or composition or reconstruction of your debts, winding up, dissolution, administration or receivership (administrative or otherwise), or any partner or director dies or becomes bankrupt or is likely to become bankrupt.

But we will follow any legal requirements before we do so;

8.2.3. any material statement made by you at any time provided to us is untrue in any material respect when made;

8.2.4. the performance by us or you of these terms and conditions and any provision of these terms and conditions at any time becomes impossible or unlawful under the provision of any laws or if you or us are in breach of any applicable law, rule or regulation; or

This information may also come from other organisations or people, such as other Barclays companies, other organisations you have a relationship with, joint account holders, credit reference agencies (who may search the Electoral Register), employers, fraud prevention agencies or other organisations. If you do not provide the information that we tell you you must provide, this may mean that we are unable to properly provide you with our services or carry out all our obligations under our agreement with you.

 

How we use your information

 

We collect your information to provide our services to you and to help us develop new and improved products and services to meet our customers' needs.

Data protection law allows us to use personal information for our genuine and legitimate reasons as long as we respect your rights and freedoms.  This lawful basis for using your information is called 'legitimate interests'. When we rely on our legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing your personal information for the purposes set out above, we will carefully consider and balance any possible effect this may have on you and your rights.

 

Sensitive information

 We will occasionally need to use sensitive information about you in the following ways. We will use information about your health if this is relevant for us to help you if you are struggling with a debt, it is relevant to a complaint you are making about us, it is relevant to how you want us to contact you, or it provides us with relevant information about how you are spending your money. We will also use sensitive information about you if this is considered to be in the public interest (for example, to support you if you are a vulnerable customer) or if you agree.

 

 Automated decision-making

If you apply to us for a product, your application may be processed by an automated decision-making process which may carry out credit and affordability assessment checks to decide whether we will accept your application.  We may also use automated processes to decide credit limits.  

We may also carry out automated anti-money-laundering and sanctions checks (which means that your details will be compared with the details of countries, organisations and people who sanctions apply to, to decide whether we are prevented from doing business with you under sanctions law).  This means that we may automatically decide that you present a fraud or money-laundering risk if the processing reveals your behaviour to be consistent with money laundering or known fraudulent behaviour, is inconsistent with information you have previously provided, or you appear to have deliberately hidden your true identity. 

You have rights relating to automated decision-making. If you want to know more, please contact us using the details set out in the 'Contact us' section.

 

If we, or a fraud prevention agency, decide that you present a fraud or money-laundering risk:
• we may refuse to provide the services you have applied for, or we may stop providing existing services to you; and
• the fraud prevention agencies will keep a record of any fraud or money-laundering risk, and this may result in others refusing to provide services or employment to you.

If you have any questions about this, please contact us using the details set out in the ‘Contact us’ section.

 Sharing your information with others

We’ll keep your information confidential but we may share it in certain circumstances, for the purposes set out in this policy, with:

  • your employer or other organisation that asked us to issue the card to you;
  • other Barclays companies;
  • other companies who provide a service to you, for example if you use our products to make a purchase or payment;
  • our service providers and agents, including their subcontractors;
  • anyone we transfer or may transfer our rights, and duties to, or we sell or may sell all or part of any Barclays company, business, debts or assets to;
  • fraud prevention agencies;
  • credit reference agencies; and
  • any company we are providing services with or whose name or logo appears on our products. These companies may send you information about their products or services. We'll always tell you who we will share your information with before we do this.

 

The people and organisations listed above will also have to keep it secure and confidential.

 

If you are a company administrator, we may share limited information (for example, your mobile phone number or email address), in an encrypted format, with social-media companies. The social-media companies can match this to personal information they already hold about you, so that they can display messages to you about our products and services.

 

We may also share your information as follows.

  • With UK and overseas regulators and authorities in connection with their duties (such as preventing crime). For example, if you report your card stolen, we may give the police any information we think will be useful.  The way certain payments work means the regulator or authority may be able to access payment details (including information about others involved in the payment).
  • With any other person or organisation after a (or ready for an expected) restructure, transfer, sale or takeover of all or part of any Barclays company, business, debt or asset, as long as that person uses your information for the same purposes as it was originally given to us or used by us (or both).
  • If we have a duty to reveal it, if it is needed to manage your accounts, or if a law or regulation allows us to do so for legitimate business purposes or with your permission.

 

Sharing your information with credit reference and fraud prevention agencies

When processing your application, we will carry out credit and identity checks on you with one or more credit reference agencies. To do this, we will give the credit reference agencies your personal information and they will give us information about you. We will also continue to exchange information about you with credit reference agencies while you have a relationship with us, for example, if we have asked you to pay an amount you owe us and we do not receive a satisfactory reply from you within our stated time limit, or if you give us false or inaccurate information. The credit reference agencies may share your personal information with other organisations. The credit reference agencies, and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at www.experian.co.uk/crain/index.html.  Examples of circumstances when we may share your information or information relating to your partner or other members of your household include when we are:

  • checking details on applications for products and services, and credit and

credit-related, or other, facilities;

  • managing credit and credit-related accounts or facilities;
  • recovering debt;
  • checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance; and
  • making enquiries when you ask for any lending products or investment products and to help us manage your account.

 

We will share your information with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money laundering, and to confirm your identity.  We and fraud prevention agencies may also allow law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal information to detect, investigate and prevent crime.  If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services or finance.

 

Fraud prevention agencies can hold your personal information for different periods of time, and if you are considered to present a fraud or money-laundering risk, they can hold your information for up to six years.

 

Sharing your information outside the European Economic Area

When we or fraud prevention agencies transfer your information outside the European Economic Area, we or the fraud prevention agencies will:

 

  • make sure that the organisations we transfer your information to apply an equivalent level of protection;
  • include conditions in the contract with the organisations receiving your personal information to protect it to the standard required in the European Economic Area; and
  • possibly ask the organisations receiving your information to subscribe to international frameworks intended to allow information to be shared securely. 

 

If we are transferring your information, we may also transfer it to either a country considered by the European Commission to provide adequate protection of your information, or to a different country if you agree to the transfer.  If we transfer your information outside the European Economic Area in other circumstances (for example, because we have to reveal the information to help prevent or detect a crime), we’ll make sure we share that information lawfully.

 

You can ask for copies of the appropriate protection we have in place by contacting us as set out in the 'Contact us' section.

 

October 2018

How long we will keep your information

We will keep your information for as long as is needed for the purposes set out above or as required by any laws that apply.

 

If you close your account, if we refuse your application for an account or product, or you decide not to go ahead with your application for an account or product, we’ll still keep your information. We may also continue to collect information from credit-reference agencies to use after your account is closed. We’ll do this for as long as we’re allowed to for legitimate business purposes, to help prevent fraud and other financial crime, and for other legal and regulatory reasons.

You have rights relating to the way we use your information.  You have the right to:
