5.2 When you wish to purchase E-Money, you must log in to the App and enter the details of the Accepted Payment Method you wish to use to purchase the E-Money via a payment page dedicated for this purpose.

We are not authorized to cancel such a purchase once you have made a payment request (although you may opt to redeem any E-Money purchased, subject to any applicable Fees (as set out in the Fee Schedule)).
5.4 Acceptance by us of an order for payment by an Accepted Payment Method does not guarantee that you will receive the corresponding E-Money in your E-Wallet. The issuing of E-Money to your E-Wallet is conditional upon actual receipt by us of the cleared funds transferred minus any applicable Fees (as set out in the Fee Schedule).
5.5 We will issue E-Money to your E-Wallet once we have received cleared funds. For some deposit methods such as Card, we will credit the E-Money funds to your E-Wallet as soon as possible subject to our right of reversal. This means if the actual amount you intended to upload does not reach us within a reasonable time, we may deduct such amount from your E-Wallet. If you do not have enough money in your E-Wallet for this purpose, we can demand repayment from you using other methods.
5.6 You accept and agree that any currency other than shilling (as your E-Wallet is denominated) loaded / reloaded into your E-Wallet will be converted into the shilling at the rate of exchange applied by our internal payment providers or bank plus any applicable fees.

The applied exchange rate will be provided to you before the confirmation of the Payment Transaction.

5.8 We may, in our sole discretion, place a reserve on funds held in E-Wallets with a high volume of Payment Transactions when we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with the E-Wallet. If an E-Wallet is subject to a reserve, we will give provide notice specifying the terms of this reserve. These terms may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into an E-Wallet is held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of E-Money is held in reserve, or anything else that we determine is necessary to protect against the risk associated with the E-Wallet. We may, subject to clause 17 below as applicable, change the terms of this reserve at any time by giving notice of these new terms.
5.9 If the balance of your E-Wallet is negative for any reason (or if there are any other past sums due to us), we may set off the negative balance by deducting amounts you owe us from funds you receive into your E-Wallet, or funds you attempt to withdraw or send from your E-Wallet. You agree to allow us to recover any amounts due to us by debiting your E-Wallet. If there are insufficient funds in your E-Wallet to cover the amount due, you agree to reimburse us through other means including:

In such circumstances, if your E-Wallet has insufficient available balance, we shall credit your E-Wallet using the selected Mobile Money Account in order to cover the full value of your Payment Transaction and the relevant fees (as set out in the Fee Schedule).
6.4 If there is insufficient E-Money available in your E-Wallet to cover the Payment Transaction, we will block the Payment Transaction and you will receive a notification confirming that you have “insufficient balance”.
