Refund of the account opening fee
Your account becomes active on the day your account opening fee is credited. The fee itself does not count as a payment into your account.
We refund the USD 6,000 account opening fee, less the bank charges for the refund transfer, if, within 30 days of your account becoming active and before any payment has been sent from or received into your account:
- you ask us to close your account and refund the fee, or
- we close your account.
A payment that we reject, or return without crediting it to your account, does not count. Once a payment has been sent from or received into your account, or once 30 days have passed, the fee is not refundable.
If you ask for a refund and the conditions above are met, we close your account and send the refund within 10 business days of your request. Any payment that arrives after your request is returned to the sender. If we close your account, we send the refund within 10 business days of closing it.
We send the refund by SWIFT, in USD, only to the account the fee was paid from. Bank charges for the refund transfer are paid by you and deducted from the amount refunded. We do not charge our 2.5% outgoing payment fee on a refund. We make a refund only where the law allows it.
