20. Compensation

The Prepaid Non-Reloadable Virtual Card is an electronic money product and although it is a product regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. No other compensation scheme exists to cover losses claimed in connection with the Prepaid Non-Reloadable Virtual Card. This means that in the unlikely event that EML Money DAC becomes insolvent your funds may become valueless and unusable and as a result you may lose your money. 
 

21. Assignment

We may assign the benefit and burden of these terms and conditions to another company at any time, on giving you 2 month’s prior notice of this. If we do this, your rights will not be affected.

22. Transfer to a new Prepaid Card

We may transfer your unused balance to a new Prepaid Non-Reloadable Virtual Card provided by a Prepaid Card issuer other than EML Money DAC at any time. Before we do this, we will give you 2 months’ notice of the new Prepaid Virtual Card arrangements and the new Prepaid Virtual Card terms and conditions. Unless you advise us within the 2-month period that you do not want a new Prepaid Virtual Card from the new Prepaid Card issuer, you agree that we can automatically transfer the unused balance on your Prepaid Virtual Card to a new Prepaid Virtual Card provided by the new Prepaid Card issuer.
