and shall be returned unconditionally and immediately to the Bank
upon request by the Bank, without any reasons being required to be
given by the Bank.

The Debit Card is non-transferable by the Cardholder under any


circumstances.
The Bank reserves the right to cancel ATM withdrawal facilities on an
account, at its discretion without assigning any reasons whatsoever.
You accept that if the Bank agrees to do so at your request, it is
entirely at your risk the Bank has agreed to provide you the facility of
carrying out transactions by using the Debit Card apart from any
written Standing Instructions now given or that may hereafter be
given to the Bank by you.

You accept full responsibility for all transactions processed by the use
of the Debit Card whether on ATM/EDC - POS/Depository/or any
other device available or otherwise. Any instruction given by means
of the Card shall be irrevocable. You shall, in all circumstances,
accept full responsibility for the use of the Card, whether or not
processed with your knowledge or your authority, expressed or
implied. You hereby authorise the Bank to debit your account(s) with
the amount(s) of any withdrawal or transfer or carry out any such
instructions that may be received by the use of the Card in
accordance with the Bank's record of transactions. You shall not hold
the Bank liable on account of the Bank acting, in the course of
business, on your instructions.

In following your instructions, the Bank will be doing so on a best


efforts basis and shall in no way be liable and/or held responsible
including on account of delay or inability to act immediately or at all
on any of your instructions.

The Bank may, at its sole discretion, change or withdraw or suspend


the facility and/or the terms therefore and thereof wholly or impart, at
any time, with or without prior or any notice.

The Bank may, at its sole discretion, decide not to carry out any
instructions including where the Bank has reason to believe that the
instructions are not genuine or are unclear or are such as to raise a
doubt or are otherwise improper and cannot be put into effect for
whatsoever reasons.

The Bank may, at our sole discretion, videotape or record on


camera your access/presence/use of facilities at our
premises/machines/equipment and we may rely on footage of
such clippings as evidence in any proceedings, and you hereby
give your consent thereto.

Transactions, which you initiate, will be completed only if the amount


of funds available in your Nominated Account is sufficient to meet the
transaction amount in full, including any applicable charges, fees, etc.
The amount of each completed transaction will be immediately
debited from your relevant Nominated Account without notice.

Should any instruction given by you be capable of being executed by


the Bank in more ways than one, the Bank may execute the said
instruction in any one of the said ways, at its sole discretion.

We will not be liable for any failure to provide the facility or to comply
with the terms and conditions for any cause that is beyond our

the said facility of the Card and/or by reason of our acting in good
faith, taking or refusing to take or omitting to take action on your
instructions and/or on account of use of the facility of the Card.

Securing the PIN

The Bank will initially allocate a Personal Identification Number (PIN)


to you. You may select your own PIN (any 4-digit number) if you
would like to change it, depending on the availability of the proposed
number. The security of the PIN is very important and you shall not
disclose your PIN to anyone. If you fail to observe any of the security
requirements, you may, at your sole risk as to the consequences,
incur liability for unauthorised use.

If you choose your own PIN, you should not select a PIN that is easily
identified or identifiable with you, e.g. your birth date, car registration
number, or repeated numbers etc.

You should not write or indicate your PIN on your Debit Card or on
any other item you carry or store including with your Debit Card, even
if you have disguised it.

immediately inform the Bank in writing of the same and report to the
Bank's Phone Banking at 111 002 002. Any transaction that may be
incurred on the Debit Card shall be the sole and absolute liability of
the Cardholder unless the Bank has received written notice or
reported to phone banking of the theft, loss or misplacement
together with instructions to cancel the Card. Once the Card is
reported misplaced, lost, stolen, the Debit Card cannot be used,
even if found subsequently. For the period commencing from the
time the Card and/or PIN was misused, after misplacement, loss or
theft until the Bank has been notified by the Cardholder in writing or
reported to Phone Banking, as described above, the Cardholder will
be liable for the actual amount lost on transactions carried out by the

re-issue a fresh Card with a new or same PIN on these terms and
conditions or such other terms and conditions as we may deem fit.

Delayed Notification of Misplacement, Loss or Theft

If the Cardholder has contributed to an exposure by not notifying the


Bank promptly upon learning of misplacement, loss or theft of the
Card and/or PIN, or if it is unclear to the Bank whether or not the
Cardholder has contributed to an exposure, then for the period
commencing from the time the Card and/or PIN was misplaced, lost
or stolen until the Bank has been notified by the Cardholder in writing
or reported to Phone Banking as described above, the Cardholder
will be liable for the actual amount lost on transactions carried out
with the Card and/or PIN.
Addition to and Withdrawal of Facilities

The Bank may, at its discretion, make available to you more ATMs,
EDC-POS, and/or other devices through shared networks for your
convenience and use. All fees, charges related to transactions done
by you at these devices, as determined by us from time to time will be
recovered by a debit to your account. You understand and agree that

deems it necessary to do so, whether for routine maintenance or for
any other reason without any obligation or liability on its part.

the Cardholder shall give the Bank not less than 7 days prior notice in
writing and forthwith return the Debit Card to the Bank and obtain a
valid receipt thereof. Such termination shall also be deemed a
termination of all related facilities accorded by the Bank to a
Cardholder.

Nominated Accounts online or, in the event of an offline situation,
within such time based on internal and/or scheme regulations that

Card Usage and Multiple Account Linkage

The Cardholder agrees that in case he has multiple accounts with


the Bank, the Bank will decide the number of accounts, which will
have the Card facility on them.

In Case of Cards Linked to Multiple Accounts

The account selection facility in respect of Nominated Account may


not be available at all ATMs; hence all transactions at these ATMs will
affect on the Primary Account linked to the Card.

In case the Nominated Account selection facility is available at ATMs


then the Cardholder will have the option to choose the account from
the Nominated Account to conduct the transaction.

The account select facility may not be available for all transactions
that may be performed at an ATM, but may be limited to certain
transactions, only depending on the functionality of that ATM. In
such cases transactions will be affected on the Primary Account
linked to the transactions.

At Merchant Establishments, transactions will be affected on the


Primary Account linked to the Card in case the option of Nominated
Account is not available.

Where the Account selection facility is not available, transactions will


be affected on the Primary Account linked to the Card, in case there
are no funds in this Primary Account, the Bank will not honour the
transactions even if there are funds available in the other Nominated
Accounts linked to the same Card.

You will not attempt to withdraw funds/purchase goods or services


using the Card unless sufficient funds are available in either your
Nominated Account or Primary Account as the case may be. The
onus of ensuring adequate account balances is entirely on you.
Accounts that violate this condition will be classified as overdrawn
Accounts and you will have to rectify the account balance position
immediately. In every such situation where the account gets
overdrawn, a flat charge would be levied in addition to the interest to
be charged on the debit balance in the account. The Bank will
determine this charge from time to time.
Right to Set Off

In the event of any Nominated Account being overdrawn, the Bank


reserves the right to set off overdrawn amounts against any credit
lying in any of your other Accounts held jointly or singly, without
giving any notice. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall affect
the Bank's right to set off, transfer and apply monies at law or
pursuant to any other agreement from time to time subsisting
between the Bank and the Cardholder.

The Card would ordinarily be honoured by Merchant Establishments


in Pakistan and in other countries which display the provider’s logo.
The Bank is not responsible or liable for refusal by any Merchant to
accept the Card for any reason whatsoever. However, you may report
to the Bank any Merchant/Bank refusal, detailing the name, location,
date and time of the transaction and other details that will assist the
Bank in its investigations.

Card promotional material or provider’s symbol displayed on any


premises is not a warranty that all goods and services available at
those premises can be purchased with your Card.

The Card is for Electronic use only and will be acceptable only at
Merchant Establishments, which have an EDC, or similar terminal
that accepts the Cards. Any usage of the Card other than electronic
use will be considered as unauthorised.

The Card will be honoured only when it carries the signature of the
Cardholder. The Card is operable with the help of the Cardholder's
signature at Merchant locations.

Each Transaction is deemed authorised and completed once the


terminal generates a Sales Slip. The amount of the transaction is
debited immediately from the primary account linked to the Card.
The Cardholder should ensure that the Card is used only once at the
Merchant location for every transaction. The Sales Slip will be printed
each time the Card is used and the Cardholder should ensure that
there is no multiple usage of the Card at the Merchant location at the
time of the purchase.

The Bank accepts no responsibility for any surcharge levied by any


Merchant Establishment and debited to the Cardholder's Nominated
Account or any other account as provided herein with the transaction
amount.

You must sign and retain the Sales Slip whenever the Card is used at
a Merchant Establishment. The Bank at an additional charge may
furnish copies of the Sales Slip. Any Sales Slip not personally signed
by the Cardholder, but which can be proved, as being authorised by
the Cardholder, will also be your liability.

Any charge or other payment requisition received from a Merchant


Establishment by the Bank for payment shall be conclusive proof that
the charge recorded on such requisition was properly incurred at the
Merchant Establishment in the amount and by the Cardholder
referred to in that charge or other requisition, as the case may be, by
the use of the Card except where the Card has been lost, stolen or
fraudulently misused, the onus of proof for which shall be on the
Cardholder.

All Refunds and Adjustments due to any Merchant/device error or


communication link may be processed manually and the account will
be credited after due verification and in accordance with rules and
regulations as applicable. The Cardholder agrees that any debits
received during this time will be honoured only based on the
Available Balance in the account(s) without considering this Refund.
The Cardholder also indemnifies the Bank from acts of dishonouring
the payment instructions.

The Card is not to be used at Hotels during Check-in and also at


other locations where paying arrangement is done before completion
of the purchase transaction or service.

The Card should not be used for any Mail Order/Phone Order
purchases and any such usage will be considered as Unauthorised.

The Card should not be used for the payment of subscription


to foreign magazines/periodicals and any such usage will be
considered as Unauthorised.

The Cardholder would be solely liable for all unauthorised acts and
transactions.

You must not at any point, handover your Card to any other person
including for usage on your behalf. You must ensure that you are
physically present at an ATM/Merchant Establishment at the time of
any transaction undertaken by you.

Cardholder Disputes with Merchants

Any dispute with or complaint against any Merchant Establishment


must be directly resolved by the Cardholder with the Merchant. The
Bank is not in any manner responsible for any issues regarding goods
and services received by the Cardholder including the quality, value,
warranty, delay of delivery, non-delivery, non-receipt of any goods or
services. It must be clearly understood that the Card facility is only a
facility to the Cardholder available to purchase goods or avail of
services and the Bank holds out no warranty or makes no
representation about quality, quantity, value, delivery or otherwise,
howsoever regarding goods or services, and any dispute should be
resolved with the Merchant Establishment directly. However, you
may report to the Bank with details of the name, location, date and
time of the transaction and other details that will assist the Bank in its
investigations and possible resolution of complaint, which the Bank
is not obliged to ensure.

International Usage

The Debit Card is valid for use both in Pakistan as well as outside
Pakistan within the foreign exchange entitlements as stipulated by
the State Bank of Pakistan from time to time.
You shall ensure adherence to all requirements of the Exchange
Control Regulations with regard to foreign exchange entitlements as
stipulated by the State Bank of Pakistan from time to time.

Cardholders emigrating and/or proceeding abroad on permanent


employment or intending to become a Non-Resident Pakistani must
surrender the Card at a prior time and clear the entire Card
outstandings.

Usage of the Card outside Pakistan will be made strictly in


accordance with the Pakistani Foreign Exchange Laws. In the event
of any failure to do so, you shall be solely and completely liable and
responsible for non-compliance with the law and the regulations and
notifications issued there under from time to time.

You may, if you so desire, draw foreign exchange against the Card in
the form of foreign currency notes/travelers’ cheques to the extent of
the entitlement from an authorised dealer/full fledged money
changer. Sale of such foreign currency notes/travelers’ cheques from
entitlement would be governed by the extant regulations and would
be subject to the applicable ceilings.

The Card cannot be used for effecting remittances for the purposes
for which the release of exchange is not permitted under the extant
regulations, e.g. for subscription to (a) magazines, which are on
the proscribed/banned list (b) pools, sweepstakes, lotteries, etc.
(c) internet sites selling products/services for which release of foreign
exchange is not permitted. The Bank reserves the right to report such
violations to the Regional Office of the Exchange Control Department
giving full details. The Cardholder’s right to use the Card would cease
forthwith.

Under no circumstances should the payment of Debit Card dues be


delayed or refused on the grounds of your having exceeded the
entitlement. There will be no obligation on the Bank to make a claim
or demand for payment on a Cardmember and non-payment
shall render the Cardmember liable to risk of withdrawal of your
Cardmembership, with the Bank also having the right to take such
other appropriate action.

The exchange rate for all foreign currency transactions will be


decided by the Bank and will be binding on the Cardholder.

You accept full responsibility for wrongful use and use in


contravention of these Rules and Regulations and undertake to
indemnify the Bank to make good any loss, damage or conversion
that the Bank may incur and/or suffer on account thereof.

Failure Beyond Control of the Bank

We shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused to you by


reason of any failure to comply with your instructions, when such
failure is caused due to reasons beyond the control of the Bank, the
opinion of the Bank being final in this regard.
Ability to Refuse Payment

Except as otherwise required by law, if the Bank receives any


process, summons, order, injunction, execution, levy, lien,
information or notice, which the Bank in good faith believes calls into
question your ability to transact on your Card, we may, at our option
and without liability to you or to the Bank, decline to allow you to
obtain any portion of your funds, or may pay such funds over to an
appropriate authority and take any other steps required including by
applicable law.

The Bank reserves the right to deduct from your Account service
charges and any expenses the Bank incurs, including without
limitation of legal fees due to legal action involving your Card.

All products/vouchers are subject to availability and will be allocated


on a first come first served basis.

Please contact your branch for further details.
