When collecting your online order from an Asda store, you need to bring:

- The payment card you used to place the order.

For home delivery orders, a signature will be required on delivery.

We’re writing in response to a recent initiative by the UK financial services regulatory body, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to ensure that you are clear in how your money is protected. As you’re probably aware, your Asda Travel Money Card account is an e-money account provided by Prepay Technologies Limited (trading as PPS), which also issues the e-money loaded on your account. PPS is authorised and regulated by the FCA for the issuance of e-money and provision of payment services. This means that it can offer services that allows you to make and receive payments, including using a Mastercard card that is linked to your account.

An e-money account can look and feel like a traditional bank account and some e-money account holders may assume that the protection provided for the money held in it are protected in the same way. E-money and traditional bank accounts both protect their customer money, but they do this in different ways.

We wanted to reach out to talk to you about how PPS protects your money. Don’t worry there is nothing you need to do. We just want to make you aware of this.

As an e-money institution, PPS protects your money through a process known as safeguarding.

This means that your money is kept separate from PPS’s own money or protected through an insurance policy or similar guarantee.  Your safeguarded money is not available to any creditors, banks or other third parties. This means that your money will always be available should you ask us to refund your e-money. PPS is required to undergo annual independent audits of safeguarding procedures to ensure that your safeguarded money is properly protected.

Banks are required by the regulators to participate in the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS acts like an insurance policy for bank accounts and pays out up to a maximum of £85,000 per eligible person, per bank, building society or credit union or up to £170,000 for joint accounts in the event of the bank or building society becoming insolvent.

E-money issuers are not able to participate in FSCS and therefore your account is not protected by FSCS. In contrast, safeguarding applies to all customers, with no defined limit per customer or account (besides our normal maximum account balance). Which means all your money within your Asda Travel Money Card account is protected. In the very unlikely event of PPS becoming insolvent, the return of your money might take longer than an FSCS claim because the distribution would be handled by an insolvency practitioner or administrator. It's worth noting that because the administrator can deduct their costs from this money, you might get slightly less than your full account balance back.

You can head to the FCA's website to find out more about the main differences between banks and e-money firms here. For more information on safeguarding requirements see here.

If you have any further questions in relation to this letter, please email us at cardservices_prepaid@mastercard.com or you can call us on 0800 056 0572, we are available 24/7.

Please note: your card will use the currency of the online site.

Transactions and fees that require a currency conversion are calculated using the Mastercard^® foreign exchange rate plus the foreign exchange fee.

Your Asda Travel Money Card should work in any ATM displaying the Mastercard Acceptance Mark.

If you’re still unable to withdraw cash at an ATM, then call Card Services, the number is on the back of your card.

The Asda Travel Money Card is a safe and secure way to spend abroad. Below is a list of tips to keep travel money secure:

• Sign the back of your card as soon as you receive it
• Check your transactions regularly and call Card Services to report anything unusual
• Don't give out your details in response to unsolicited email
• Be wary of anyone who asks for common security details like your mother's maiden name, passwords, date of birth, or information about your work
• Never give your PIN to anyone, even if they claim to be from your card issuer
• Don't let yourself get distracted when using ATMs or point of sale terminals - somebody may be trying to find out your PIN

The card expires on the date on the front of the card. Upon expiry, you’ll still be able to obtain a refund of the balance in accordance with the agreement and up to 6 years after the agreement has ended.

The minimum you can load/top up is GBP 50 or currency equivalent.

The maximum you can load/top up in any 12 month period is GBP 30,000 or currency equivalent.

Some businesses may require pre-authorisation of the estimated bill (for example, deposits) – these are usually hotels, car rental businesses and cruise ships. In this case, the estimated amount of the bill will be temporarily unavailable. After the final bill is paid, it may take up to 30 days before the pre-authorised amount is available again. Not all businesses will accept your card as a means of pre-authorising payment.

We recommend that you don’t use your Asda Travel Money Card for pre-authorisations. You can of course use your Asda Travel Money Card to settle your final bill.

Yes, there are a few countries and geographical regions where it’s not possible to use your Asda Travel Money Card.

The countries and geographical regions currently affected are: Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk, and Russian merchants

You should check your transaction history regularly.

You can do this online, once you have registered your card in your account.

When using your card at some merchants (see table below), you may be required to have an available card balance greater than the value of the transaction you wish to make.

This is because: (i) a merchant may request more funds than you initially authorised to cover the amount of the transaction (e.g. the meal or bar bill) plus an additional gratuity, tip or service charge agreed by you; or (ii) in the case of an automated fuel pump transaction, to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover the final cost of the transaction.

The addition of this percentage or fixed amount to the amount of the transaction authorised by the merchant is called ‘tolerance’. At bars and restaurants tolerances are only applied to transactions authorised by magstripe rather than by chip or contactless. At petrol stations tolerance is applied to all automated fuel pump transactions. The merchant categories where tolerances apply are listed below.

Merchant category:

• Bars (or other similar drinking places) 20%
• Restaurants (or other eating places) 20%
• Automated fuel dispensers US$75 or currency equivalent

As a merchant may not settle the final bill immediately, tolerance is applied to ensure that there are sufficient funds available when the final bill is settled.

The amount authorised by the merchant plus the tolerance percentage or fixed amount is reserved from your available card balance until the merchant settles the final amount (i.e. payment is requested), at which time the exact final amount is debited from your card, or for 7 days, whichever is sooner.

If the final settlement amount exceeds the relevant available currency balance on the card, the remaining amount will be funded by converting that amount in the usual wallet order. Please see your card Terms and Conditions for further information on the usual wallet order. The exchange rate used is the rate determined by Mastercard®, to be the wholesale rate in effect on the day the transaction is processed by Mastercard plus the foreign exchange fee. Please note that the exchange rate used at the time the transaction is authorised (and the funds are reserved) may be different to the exchange rate used on the day the transaction is settled, however, you will only be charged for the actual and final amount of the transaction you sign for or validate by PIN or contactless.

As the merchant may not settle (i.e. ask for payment) the final bill within the 7 days and in some cases may take up to 30 days to settle (at which time the funds are debited from your card), we recommend that you check your transaction history regularly via your account and take this into account, including the tolerance, to ensure you have sufficient funds available for your spending. Typically, a merchant will submit the settlement request within 24 hours of you authorising the transaction.

At bars and restaurants tolerances are only applied to transactions authorised by magstripe rather than by chip or contactless. At petrol stations tolerance is applied to all automated fuel pump transactions.

If the value of the transaction plus the tolerance percentage or flat amount exceeds the relevant available currency balance on the card, the remaining amount will be funded by converting that amount into the next available currency in the usual wallet order. Please see your card Terms and Conditions for further information on the usual wallet order.

The exchange rate used is the rate determined by Mastercard® to be the wholesale rate in effect on the day the transaction is authorised by the merchant plus the foreign exchange fee. 

At bars and restaurants tolerances are only applied to transactions authorised by magstripe rather than by chip or contactless.  At petrol stations tolerance is applied to all automated fuel pump transactions.

• If you do not have sufficient funds available in your total available card balance to cover both the value of the transaction plus the tolerance amount, the transaction will be declined.

For example, you have lunch at a restaurant and the total bill is US$50.00. You only have US$50.00 on your card and there is a 20% tolerance applied to restaurant transactions. If the restaurant tries to charge your card with US$50.00, it will be declined because 20% tolerance is added to the transaction amount and there will be insufficient funds to cover US$60.00 (US$50 + 20% tolerance (US$10.00) = US$60.00).

Please ensure you remember to take the tolerance amount into account. If you are using your card at one of the merchant types where tolerance is applied, you may be unable to use your card, unless you have enough in your total available card balance to cover the addition of tolerance. If the merchant supports it however, you can use your card to make a partial payment, and cover the balance with some other payment method. Just make sure you tell the cashier before you start the transaction and confirm the amount you want deducted from your card. The cashier should process your card payment first, and then accept the remainder of the balance in whichever way you want to pay it.

At bars and restaurants tolerances are only applied to transactions authorised by magstripe rather than by chip or contactless.  At petrol stations tolerance is applied to all automated fuel pump transactions.
