4. OPERATION

The following explains how the platform works and the steps to follow when sending money to Venezuela.

4.1. REGISTRATION

The User must register on the Platform www.curiara.com/eu, providing the information required in the mandatory fields of the system (name, surname, country of residence, country of birth, date of birth, telephone, email and set a personal password).

The User shall be responsible for providing true and lawful information.

Once registered, a message will be sent to the indicated e-mail address with a link that will allow the verification of the e-mail address provided at registration and in order to activate the account and accept the T&C.

Then, the User will be able to access his personal area where he will be required to fill in additional data (for example, the complete postal address, occupation and monthly income and the data related to the identity card, nationality, type of document, document number, date of issue, expiration and place of issue).

In turn, it will be necessary to provide a valid identity document, either through the section or email enabled for this purpose.

Once the identity document has been received and together with the information provided, it will be checked and if it is correct, the User’s registration will be approved. An email will be sent to confirm that the user can start ordering money transfers.

In case of suspicion about the information provided, additional documentation may be requested and even the User’s profile may be blocked.

4.2. PERSONAL AREA

Once registered, the User will have access to his/her personal area that allows him/her to save previous operations organized by date and name of the beneficiary and to save bank account data for recurrent operations, guaranteeing better control of money transfer orders.

Through the personal area, the User will be able to consult all the data of the operations and the state in which the sending is, to receive and to make communications referring to the operative or possible incidences.

To access the personal area will require enhanced user authentication.

4.3. SENDING MONEY

4.3.1. New Shipment

To initiate a money transfer order, the user must access your personal area of the platform and select the option «New sending», where you must enter the data of the transfer order (country of destination, data of the beneficiary, including identity card, relationship with the beneficiary, method of payment at destination and amount of the shipment).

At this point you will be able to see the operation data: commissions, applied currency exchange rate, final amount that the beneficiary will receive in his local currency, etc.

If the User agrees with the operation data, he/she must give his/her consent and access the «Payment Phase» (in which the User delivers to Easy the funds associated with the money transfer operation).

Before the User accesses the «payment phase», an identification code of the operation will be generated, which will allow him/her to track the operation.

4.3.2. Payment Phase

At this stage, the User is asked to proceed to deliver the funds associated with the money transfer operation by means of a transfer from his or her account or by means of a credit or debit card.

In the first shipment of money made by the user through the platform, the delivery of funds may only be made by bank transfer from an account owned by the user and opened in an entity domiciled in Spain, in the European Union or equivalent third countries.

The delivery of funds in subsequent operations can be made by credit or debit card.

A. «Payment by transfer

If the User uses this modality, the User will select, from those indicated, one of the payment accounts owned by Easy, to which he will transfer the funds from an account of his ownership.

He will then indicate the date on which the transfer was made and the operation number.

The money transfer operation will be held until Easy confirms the reception of the transfer in the indicated account.

B. «Payment by card»

If the User uses this modality, the system will go to Easy’s bank payment gateway, where the User must enter the card data (holder, card number, expiry date and security code or CVV) and authorize the operation following the requirements established by the customer’s card issuing entity.

When the amount of the money transfer order exceeds 3,000 euros, it must necessarily be paid into Easy bank accounts.

In addition, additional measures will be taken to identify and know the customer in operations whose amount, either in the singular or accumulated in each calendar quarter, exceeds 3,000 euros in transfers.

4.3.3. Confirmation of acceptance and receipt of the order

The money transfer orders issued by the User in a non-presential manner through the Platform will be considered authorized by the sender when he has given consent for its execution, which will happen at the time that the User accepts through the process of enhanced authentication, after completing the process of issuing the money transfer order.

The time of receipt of the payment order will be as follows:

i. For «card payments»: the moment when Easy’s bank confirms through its «payment gateway» the acceptance of the card payment operation.

ii. For «transfer payments»: the moment when the amount of the payment operation has been credited to Easy’s bank account.

4.3.4. Irrevocability and Rejection of an Order

Unless otherwise agreed, the User may not revoke a money transfer order after it has been received by Easy and sent to the correspondent.

It is possible to refuse to execute a payment order, notifying the User of this refusal, the reasons for it and the procedure for rectifying any factual errors that may have led to it.

In the event that the execution of a money transfer order is refused, the funds shall be returned to the User in the same form in which they were delivered, unless by legal imperative it is not possible to make such a refund.

4.3.5. Maximum period of execution of the operation

The amount of the operation will be paid to the beneficiary as soon as possible after the money transfer order is received by Easy and depending on the correspondent entities that may intervene in the execution of the payment.

In cases where the User acts as the payer, Easy guarantees that the amount of the operation, in which the User acts as the payer, is credited to the account (of the payment service provider) of the beneficiary, at the latest at the end of the working day following the moment of reception and provided that the operation is carried out in EUROS (Euro).

4.3.6. Proof of the operation

The User will receive, in his personal area and/or through the contact form established in the T&C, a ballot with the data of the operation:

– Operation reference

– Amount of the payment transaction in the currency used

– Total amount corresponding to the operation’s commissions and expenses, duly broken down

– Exchange rate used in the operation

– Date of receipt of payment order

– Identification of the Sender and Beneficiary
