Activating
Your MobalPay card must be activated within 3 months of purchase. After this time, you must purchase a new card. To activate your card, simply log-in to your online account and follow the simple instructions.
Subscription Fees
Subscription fees are billed on the same date each month from activation. For cards activated on the 29th/30th/31st of the month subscription fees will be billed on the 1st of each month. Subscription fees will continue to be deducted from your balance even if your card is suspended, this includes cards that have been suspended as lost, stolen or damaged. If your balance is less than the subscription fee, we may deduct your remaining balance and/or deduct one month’s subscription fee from your next top-up. To view the subscription fees please visit our website.
Topping Up
Top-ups can be made using any of the payment methods listed in your online account.
You are responsible for paying any fees associated with your top-up. Any fees charged to us, as a result of your top-up, may be deducted from your top-up amount.
Top-up limits are in place and if you exceed these limits, we may have to withhold funds from your account until the limit cap has been released. We do not know how long this could take so it is important you keep track of your total top-up amount each month. To view top-up limits, visit our website.
As soon as your top-up has cleared it will be reflected in your online account. If there are any outstanding payments on your MobalPay account, at the time of your top-up, these charges will be deducted from your balance when the top-up is completed. This can take up to 2 working days. Occasionally, due to circumstances beyond our control, there may be delays in your top-up reaching your account. top-ups made to the wrong account cannot be altered and your funds will be lost. It is your responsibility when topping up to confirm that all of the details are correct before submitting the payment.
Top-ups are non-refundable.
Paying With Your MobalPay Card
The MobalPay card can be used in store and online where Mastercard is accepted in exchange for goods and services. Your MobalPay card may not be accepted at petrol/gas stations; hotels; for payment of motorway or toll charges; for prepaid or digital money top-ups; for payment of membership/subscription charges, or for some other recurring payments. You will not be able to pay in instalments. Please note that there may be additional merchants/services that do not accept MobalPay.
We reserve the right to restrict certain merchants from processing transactions on the MobalPay card. These restrictions may be added or removed at any time. When restrictions are in place you will be unable to use your MobalPay card with the restricted merchant.
For your security, you may be required to sign or enter a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) when making payment with your MobalPay card. Your PIN can be viewed in your online account.
On making a payment, your MobalPay card balance will reduce by the total value of your transaction as and when we receive the information from the merchant. There may be delays in receiving the payment request from the merchant, which can result in a delay in your MobalPay balance being updated.
You are liable to cover all transactions carried out using your MobalPay card. If we are unable to take payments, we may suspend your service (which could result in permanent loss of service) until the outstanding charges are settled. Your debt may be passed to a collection agency. You will be liable for all expenses, legal and collection agency fees incurred as a result of this action.
Sometimes, merchants may not complete the payment, but instead take an authorisation to check whether your card is valid. If the merchant opts to authorise your card, the authorised amount will be reserved or frozen from your balance for a duration specified by the merchant. The reserved amount will only become available once the authorisation expires or is cancelled.
Your maximum spend can be found on our website.
The MobalPay card does not support cash withdrawal or balance transfers.
Negative Balances
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have enough balance on your card to make payments, however, it may be possible for some transactions to process even when you do not have enough balance on your card, taking your card balance below zero. If that happens, we will notify you as soon as possible to repay the outstanding balance. Where possible, we will settle the payment automatically by means of deducting it from your balance. Interest may be applied to late payments.
If you do not make prompt repayment, we may suspend your service (which could result in permanent loss of service) until the outstanding charges are settled. Your debt may be passed to a collection agency. You will be liable for all expenses, legal and collection agency fees incurred as a result of this action.
Refunds
Refunds for goods/services purchased using your MobalPay card should be requested from the merchant directly. We will not seek a refund for goods/services on your behalf. We will not credit your MobalPay balance unless the funds have been returned to us by the merchant.
Please note that there may be delays in receiving refund information from the merchant and this being reflected in your MobalPay balance. A refund to your MobalPay card can result in your balance exceeding the limit. In this case, we may withhold some funds until the balance on your account has reduced. To view top-up limits, visit our website.
Using Your MobalPay Card Internationally
The MobalPay card is not designed to be used outside of Japan. Using your MobalPay card outside of Japan will result in additional charges. If you use your MobalPay card outside of Japan the amount you pay will be converted into Japanese Yen at the daily conversion rate specified by Mastercard. There is an international handling fee for non-Japanese Yen payments as specified on our website.
Any refunds of international transactions will be processed based on the information provided by the merchants. This could result in the refund value differing from the original payment value. In such instances, we are unable to process the difference between the two values.
We will not be held responsible for any discrepancies relating to international transactions on your MobalPay card.
Loss, Theft or Damage
If your MobalPay card is lost, stolen or damaged you will be responsible for suspending your card in your online account. You will be liable for all charges on your card, including any fraudulent activity, until you suspend your card.
If you require a replacement MobalPay card you will need to purchase a new card. You will receive a new card number and PIN number. We will transfer any remaining balance to your new MobalPay card once you notify us that your new card has been activated.
You must use the same account information as in your online account when purchasing the replacement card. If you use different account information, we may be unable to transfer your balance to the new account.
Terminating Your Service
You can request to terminate your MobalPay service in your online account. Any outstanding transactions must be cleared before the termination will be processed. Any remaining balance on the account will be non-refundable and non-transferable. Your account information will be retained for a minimum of 3 months from the point of termination.
Inactivity

Keeping your personal information secure
Our internal security teams constantly review and improve our measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure or destruction.
Data is transferred between our systems using encrypted connections wherever possible. Email communications may not be secure unless they have been encrypted. Your emails may go through a number of countries before being delivered, as this is the nature of the internet.
We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need for that information. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
If you are required to submit ID information to us, your ID information is fully encrypted on our secure servers. We will never ask for your secure personal or account information by an unsolicited means of communication. You are responsible for keeping your personal and account information secure and not sharing it with others.
Our websites may provide links to third-party websites. We cannot be responsible for the security and content of such third-party websites. We therefore recommend that you read that company’s privacy and cookies policies before using or putting your personal information on their site. The same applies to any third-party websites or content you connect to using our products and services.
You may choose to disclose your information in certain ways such as social plug-ins (including those offered by Google, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest) or using third-party services that allow you to post reviews or other information publicly, and a third party could use that information. Social plug-ins and social applications are operated by the social network themselves and are subject to their own terms of use and privacy and cookies policies. You should make sure you are familiar with these.
To get detailed information on how to protect your information and your computers and devices against fraud, identity theft, viruses and many other online problems, we recommend visiting Get Safe Online. This service is supported by the UK Government and a number of leading international businesses.
How long your personal data will be kept for
We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us, or we are providing products and/or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:
• to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf
• to show that we treated you fairly
• to keep records required by law
We will not retain your personal information in an identifiable form for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information. Further details on this are available in our Retention Policy and details are available upon request.
When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it.
How to complain
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. If you want to contact us about any of your rights or complain about how we use your information, please email dataprotection@mobalpay.com. The General Data Protection Regulation gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner who may be contacted online at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ or by telephone at +44 (0)303 123 1113.
