Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation Samsung Pay Terms and Conditions

Effective 12 October 2020

1. About these Terms and Conditions

These Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation Samsung Pay Terms and Conditions together with the product terms of your accounts, govern the use of your eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card with Samsung Pay. Where inconsistent with the relevant product terms, these terms apply.

You agree to these Terms and Conditions by:

  • adding an eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card to Samsung Pay on your supported device; or
  • allowing an additional cardholder to add their eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card to Samsung Pay on their supported device.

For information on eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card and supported devices please visit www.heritage.com.au.

2. Using and managing Samsung Pay

You can add an eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card to Samsung Pay on supported devices. An additional cardholder may also add their eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card to Samsung Pay on their supported device provided that:

  • you or the additional cardholder are verified when adding a card;
  • if the person adding the card is not the sole account holder, each account holder of that account has agreed to the eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card being added to Samsung Pay on the supported device; and
  • the account is in good standing.

An eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card can be unlinked from Samsung Pay by following the instructions on the Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation website and/or the Samsung Pay app. You can also ask us to suspend or close your cards from Samsung Pay by calling us on 13 14 22 or visiting any of our branches.

As part of the process we will either send you a text message (to the mobile phone number you have registered with us) with a verification code or have you verify your identify via our Contact Centre. You should ensure that Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation has your correct mobile number in order to receive the verification code via text message.

Once you have added your card to Samsung Pay and been verified, you may authorise and process transactions by using the relevant supported device in place of an eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card at a contactless payment terminal. Each transaction is not to exceed the daily limits of the card as set out in the Fees and Limits guide. In some cases, you may temporarily exceed this limit, for example where systems are unavailable. You may be required to enter your card PIN into the merchant's terminal or enter your security credentials on supported devices to complete a transaction.

Samsung Pay allows you to select how your transactions are processed.  Your options are:

(i) By Visa, which will pledge the amount as an authorisation on your account until the transaction is processed.

(ii) By eftpos, which will debit your account immediately. 

Fees and charges may apply – see the Fees and Limits guide.  

For complaint resolution refer to the Complaints section the appropriate Product Guide.

3. Liability of Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation

Samsung Pay is a service provided by Samsung, not by us. We are not responsible for any loss you suffer in relation
to:

  • your fraud;
  • your use of Samsung Pay or the supported device in a manner not permitted by Samsung (for example, by obtaining root access of the operating system allowing customisation to your supported device);
  • subject to your rights under the ePayments Code, a reduced level of service caused by matters beyond our reasonable control (for example, those caused by third party software and network providers);
  • any error, defect or unavailability of Samsung Pay; or
  • any failure or refusal of merchants to process transactions using Samsung Pay.

Please call us immediately on 13 14 22 if:

  • your supported device is lost or stolen;
  • your supported device's mobile service is suddenly disconnected without your permission (which may
    indicate you have been subject to mobile phone porting); or
  • you suspect a security breach in relation to your supported device or Samsung Pay or that an unauthorised
    person has used your passcode, PIN of an eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card or your other credentials to access
    Samsung Pay.

Based on your report, we will suspend use of your eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card with Samsung Pay. This helps protect you as much as possible from additional loss or liability.

We warrant that we will comply with the ePayments Code. Your liability for unauthorised transactions will be determined in accordance to the ePayments Code. More terms which affect your liability in relation to transactions are set out in the relevant product terms.

4. Security requirements for Samsung Pay

You must take steps to secure your supported device on which your eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card has been registered.

You are responsible for ensuring that:

  • any password of your supported device is kept secret and secure, not easily guessed or deciphered (e.g.your date of birth), and not shared with another person (and if known by another person, the passcode must be changed);
  • your biometric identifier (e.g. fingerprint) is the only biometric identifier registered on your supported device (and any other person's biometric identifier registered on your device must be removed);
  • your supported device is not left unattended, is locked when not in use, and up-to-date antivirus software is installed on it; and
  • any eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation cards are unlinked/removed from your supported device before disposing of it.

If you fail to comply with any of the requirements in this clause 4, you are taken to have authorised others to make transactions using Samsung Pay and you are responsible for their use of your eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card.

WARNING: this could result in significant loss or liability in relation to such transactions.

5. What to do if there is a problem

You should check your transaction history regularly to make sure there are no errors or unauthorised transactions.

You and any additional cardholder must tell us straight away if:

  • an eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card or device has been lost or stolen; or
  • you or they suspect someone else has used your account without your permission or may have access to your supported device or know your security credentials or eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card PIN.

You should immediately unlink your eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card from Samsung Pay if your supported device is stolen or lost. Instructions to unlink your card are available on our website and/or the Samsung Pay App or you can call our contact centre on 13 14 22.

6. Fee and charges

The product terms describe the fees and charges which apply to each relevant Card. We do not impose any additional fees and charges for registering and using your eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card with Samsung Pay. However, you will need to pay any third party fees and charges associated with downloading, registering and using the Samsung Pay on a supported device.

time, including:

  • if you breach your account Terms and Conditions;
  • if either you or the additional cardholder breach these Terms and Conditions;
  • if we suspect unauthorised transactions have occurred; if required by applicable laws (such as anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, or sanctions laws);
  • if directed to do so by Samsung or by Visa (for example, in circumstances of suspected fraud);
  • if we are required by a regulatory or government body; or
  • for any other reason.

8. Privacy

  • to enable the use of the eligible Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation card with Samsung Pay and to improve Samsung Pay
    generally; and
  • about persons involved in suspected security breaches or fraud.
