Ownership and use of the card
The Card is activated and ready for use. The default PIN is the last four (4) digits of the card number. If the cardholder wishes to change the PIN, they can call 1-866-510-2974 or go to centralbank.com.
The Card is and will remain the property of Central Bank & Trust Co. However, you will be solely and completely responsible for the possession, use and control of the Card. You must surrender the Card to Central Bank & Trust Co. immediately upon request. The Card may not be used for Internet lottery, betting, or gambling transactions or for any illegal transactions. The Card may not be used for recurring or installment payments, cash disbursements (cash advances and ATM withdrawals), or the purchase of money orders.
Your Central Bank Visa Gift Card is issued by Central Bank & Trust Co. and may be used for purchases at all Visa debit merchants.
This Central Bank Visa Gift Card is not a credit card. You may only use it when there is a balance remaining on the Card and only up to the amount left on the Card. Purchases will be deducted from your Central Bank Visa Gift Card until the value reaches zero. If you are given value through the use of the Card greater than the balance remaining, you will pay us on demand the amount by which your transactions exceeded the balance remaining on the Card.
The Central Bank Visa Gift Card is non-reloadable and cannot be reused.
A replacement Card can be issued for the value remaining on any lost or stolen or damaged Card and the original Card will be canceled. There is a $5.00 fee for the replacement Card. This fee will be deducted from your remaining balance at the time a replacement Card is issued.
Foreign Transactions
Special Rules for Foreign Transactions Through VISA Authorization: Any international purchase or cash advance (foreign transaction) will be assessed a transaction fee. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is either: a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives; or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The foreign transaction fee equals 1.0% of the transaction amount for all international cross currency transactions and .80% for all international transactions conducted in US currency. Card holder agrees to pay charges and accept credits for the converted transaction amounts in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.
Card Access
You may use your Card to pay for purchases at retail establishments which have agreed to accept the Card and are equipped with a point-of-sale terminal that can process Visa transactions. If you permit someone else to use your Card, we will treat this as if you have authorized this person to use your Card and you will be responsible for any transactions initiated by such person with your Card. Upon any purchase via a point-of-sale device, mail order, telephone order or other purchase transaction, the amount available on the Card will be reduced by the amount of such purchase.
Using the card
1. Any purchase that exceeds the balance on the Card may be declined. If you do not have sufficient funds on the Card, you can request that the merchant charge part of the purchase on the Card and pay the remaining amount with cash or another card. This is referred to as a “split transaction.” Some merchants will only permit split transactions if you pay the remainder in cash, while some may not accept split transactions at all.
2. If you use your Central Bank Visa Gift Card for gasoline purchases, you must pay with the Card at the cashier station. The Card cannot be used for “Pay at the Pump” transactions.
Refusal to honor card
We are not liable for any refusal to honor your Card or any Cash Advance or for any retention of your Card by us, any other bank, or any seller or lessor of goods and services. Issuer has no responsibility for merchandise or services obtained with a Card and any dispute concerning merchandise or services will be independently settled by Holder with the merchant concerned.
Bank's liability for failure to make transfers
If we do not complete a transaction arising from the use of your Card on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money on your Card to cover a transaction; or
If the terminal or system was not working properly; or
If circumstances beyond our control (such as flood or fire, etc.) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
