Longer Delays May Apply: In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the first Business Day after the day of your deposit. The first $225.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
- If we believe a check you deposit will not be paid;
- If you deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day;
- If you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid;
- if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or
- if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
Special Rules For New Accounts:
If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account and checks drawn on us will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525 of a day’s total deposits of U.S. Treasury checks, U.S. Postal Service money orders, cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available by the first Business Day after the day of deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,525 will be available by the ninth Business Day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525 will not be available until the first Business Day after the day of deposit.

5.3 Repayment
Where applicable, you may make a repayment for a balance on one or more of your cards by any means that are permitted by Raenest and as provided in your Raenest Account.

- Foreign Currency Transactions. If you make a transaction using your Account in a foreign currency (including, for example, online purchases from a merchant located outside of the U.S.), the credit card association will convert any transaction in foreign currency into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate for the applicable central processing date that is (1) selected by the association from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets, which rate may vary from the rate the association receives, or (2) the government mandated rate. The conversion rate you get may differ from the rate on the transaction date or the posting date, and from the rate that the credit card association gets. A merchant or other third party may convert a transaction into U.S. dollars or another currency, using a rate they select, before sending it to the credit card association.
- Additional Services. We may, from time to time, make additional services available to you directly or through affiliated or non-affiliated third parties.

If the dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction or if you believe the Charge is unauthorized, you may initiate a Chargeback through your Raenest Account.

Chargebacks resolved in your favor will be credited to your Raenest Account on either the current or a future Periodic Statement.

13. Delay in Enforcement
We may at any time and in our sole discretion delay or waive enforcing any of our rights or remedies under these Card Terms or under applicable law without losing any of those or any other rights or remedies.

You also agree that these messages may deliver prerecorded and/or artificial voice messages. You understand that telephone messages may be played by a machine automatically when the telephone is answered, whether answered by you or someone else, and that these messages may also be recorded by your answering machine. You also authorize the Messaging Parties to deliver messages to you via mail or email at any addresses you supply to them or that they obtain through any legal means.
By accepting these Card Terms or using your Card, you acknowledge that you have received, reviewed, and agree to be bound by the Issuer’s E-Sign & Electronic Communications Notice (the “E-Sign Notice”), which is incorporated herein by reference. You consent to receive all disclosures, notices, agreements, and other communications from Issuer and the Messaging Parties in electronic form, in accordance with the E-Sign Notice. You agree that such electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. The E-Sign Notice may be amended by Issuer from time to time, and your continued use of the Card after any such amendment constitutes your acceptance of the amended E-Sign Notice.
You understand that anyone with access to your mail, telephone or email account may listen to or read the messages the Messaging Parties leave or send you, and you agree that the Messaging Parties will have no liability for anyone accessing such messages. You further understand that, when you receive a telephone call, text message or email, you may incur a charge from the company that provides you with telecommunications, wireless and/or internet services, and you agree that the Messaging Parties will have no liability for such charges except to the extent required by applicable law.

16.Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS "DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION" PROVISION VERY CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ISSUER. RAENEST IS THE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER FOR THE CARD BUT IS NOT THE ISSUER, CREDITOR OR LENDER. RAENEST IS NOT A PARTY TO THESE CARD TERMS AND HAS NO LIABILITY FOR THE ISSUER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER IT. HOWEVER, RAENEST IS AN EXPRESS THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THESE CARD TERMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROVISIONS THAT ALLOCATE RISK, DISCLAIM LIABILITY, LIMIT REMEDIES OR REQUIRE DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT A DISPUTE INVOLVES RAENEST, RAENEST SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INVOKE AND BENEFIT FROM THE SAME PROTECTIONS, LIMITATIONS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES AS THE ISSUER. TO THE EXTENT YOU HAVE ANY DISPUTE YOU MAY HAVE WITH Raenest RELATING SOLELY TO SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU UNDER YOUR SEPARATE USER TERMS WITH RAENEST, SUCH DISPUTES WILL BE GOVERNED EXCLUSIVELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RAENEST USER TERMS.
Binding Arbitration:
(a) You and Issuer agree that any and all past, present and future Disputes (defined below) shall be determined by arbitration, unless your Dispute is subject to an exception to this agreement to arbitrate set forth below. You and Issuer further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this section shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action. The award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Issuer that arises out of or relates to (i) these Card Terms (including any addenda hereto or other terms incorporated herein by reference), (ii) the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity hereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement to arbitrate hereunder, or (iii) any Services (including, without limitation, the Raenest Card).
(b) This agreement to arbitrate shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Card Terms.
Arbitration Procedure:
(a) Before filing a claim against Issuer, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by providing written notice to Issuer of the actual or potential Dispute. Similarly, Issuer will provide written notice to you of any actual or potential Dispute to endeavor to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. The party that provides the notice of the actual or potential Dispute (the "Notifying Party") will include in that notice (a "Notice of Dispute") your name, the Notifying Party's contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute, and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the other party (the "Notified Party") to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised. If the Notified Party responds within ten (10) business days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions in an effort to resolve the Dispute informally, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith.
(b) If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party's compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to respond to the Notice of Dispute within ten (10) business days), the Notifying Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. If either party purports to initiate arbitration without first providing a Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, then, notwithstanding any other provision of these Card Terms, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim with prejudice and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.
(c) You and Issuer each agree to resolve any Disputes that are not resolved informally as described above through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein, except as set forth under Section 12.3 below. You and Issuer agree that the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will administer the arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "Rules"). The Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration.) Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator. The single arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available to you in an individual lawsuit, subject to any effective and enforceable limitations of liability or exclusions of remedies set forth herein. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this paragraph, if a party seeks injunctive relief that would significantly impact other Issuer users as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Each party shall select one arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select the third, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel. That chairperson shall be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Section shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may -- if selected by either party or as the chair by the two party-selected arbitrators -- participate in the arbitral panel. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential.
(d) You and Issuer further agree that the arbitration will be held in the English language in New York, New York, or, if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically or via other remote electronic means.
(e) Filing costs and administrative fees shall be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules; provided that the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded.
(f) You and Issuer agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor Issuer may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a "Collective Arbitration"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Issuer will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. "Concurrently" for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR ISSUER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator.
Small Claims:
Notwithstanding your and Issuer’s agreement to arbitrate Disputes, You and Issuer retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court.
Class Waiver:
To the extent applicable law permits, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Card Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Card Terms or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither party is entitled to arbitration.
No Jury Trial:
If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Card Terms.
Venue and Jurisdiction for Judicial Proceedings:
Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in these Card Terms, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your Dispute, you and Issuer agree that any judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Puerto Rico. Both you and Issuer irrevocably consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Puerto Rico; provided that either party may bring any action to confirm an arbitral award in any court having jurisdiction.
Confidentiality:
The existence of all information regarding any Dispute will be held in strict confidence by the parties and will not be disclosed by either party except as reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct of the arbitration or the confirmation or enforcement of any arbitral award. Any such permitted disclosure will, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, be made subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as stringent as the provisions of this paragraph. If any disclosure of information regarding any Dispute is required under applicable law, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another to obtain protective orders or otherwise to preserve the confidentiality of such information.
17.Survival
The following provisions of these Card Terms shall survive any termination or expiration of these Card Terms and shall remain in full force and effect until all of your obligations to us have been fully and finally satisfied: (a) all of your payment obligations and our right to collect all amounts owed by you; (b) all security interest, collateral, and setoff provisions, including our rights in any Collateral; (c) any indemnification obligations; (d) the limitation of liability provisions; (e) the disclaimer of warranties provisions; (f) the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions, including the class waiver; (g) our communications and contact rights; (h) our assignment rights; (k) any waiver provisions; (l) all representations and warranties made by you; (m) any accrued rights, remedies, or causes of action in favor of either party; and (n) any other provision that by its nature or express terms is intended to survive.
18. Severability
If any provision of these Card Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent, or if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from these Card Terms. The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in the event that a court finds the prohibition of Collective Arbitration in Section 16 to be invalid or unenforceable, then all provisions in Section 16 shall be deemed void, except for any portion of any provision in Section 16 related to the resolution of Disputes through litigation in court.
19. Assignment
These Card Terms will be binding on, and benefit, any of your and our successors and assigns. You may not transfer your Account or your Agreement to someone else without our written permission. We may transfer your Account, these Card Terms, or any of our rights or obligations therein, to another company or person at any time, without your permission and without prior notice to you. If we do, they will take our place under these Card Terms. You must pay them and perform all of your obligations to them and not us. If you pay us after you are informed or learn that we have transferred your Account or this Agreement, we can handle your payment in any way we think is reasonable. This includes returning the payment to you or forwarding the payment to the other company or person.
20. Entire Agreement
These Card Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Issuer regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and communications whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
21. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Card Terms to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government actions, epidemics or pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, or failures of third-party service providers.
22. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
23. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ISSUER, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL ISSUER’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR ACCOUNT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) YOUR ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES PROVEN OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
24. Indemnity
You will indemnify and defend Issuer, its affiliates, and its partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors, and representatives (each an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, litigation, investigations, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, settlements, costs, fees, and expenses incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any person arising out of, in connection with, related to, or as a result of your (i) breach of any of the representations, warranties, or covenants contained in these Card Terms; or (ii) gross negligence, fraud, or violation of any applicable law or rights of any third-party. Issuer may defend any claim subject to indemnification hereunder, using counsel of its choice, and you will pay or promptly reimburse Issuer for the reasonable fees of such counsel and all related costs and reasonable expenses. If you are a user from a jurisdiction that does not allow certain indemnification obligations, you agree that this indemnity is intended to be as broad as permitted under the laws of such jurisdiction.
Consumer Ach Authorization And Agreement

This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Raenest Inc has received written notification from me of its termination in such a time and in such a manner as to afford Raenest Inc a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

When you receive funds through Fasttrack:
- - Raenest is advancing you money based on your expected Upwork payout.
- - Once the actual payment from Upwork is received, Raenest automatically reconciles the balance.
If, for any reason, Upwork reverses, delays, or fails to release the expected payment after Raenest has already advanced funds to you:
- - You remain fully responsible for repaying the advanced amount to Raenest.
- - Raenest may deduct the outstanding amount from your future Upwork settlements, Raenest wallet, or any linked funding sources.
- - Raenest reserves the right to pursue reasonable recovery actions, including account suspension or debt collection, to reclaim unpaid amounts.
5. Fees and Deductions
Raenest may charge a service fee or discount rate for providing Fasttrack.
The applicable rate will be displayed before you confirm your request and may vary based on your profile, transaction volume, or other risk factors.
6. Fraud and Misrepresentation
You are prohibited from:
- - Attempting to access Fasttrack funds for non-existent or fraudulent Upwork payments.
- - Modifying, disconnecting, or manipulating Upwork data to misrepresent your earnings.
If Raenest detects any suspicious, fraudulent, or abusive behaviour, we may:
- - Immediately suspend or terminate your Raenest account.
- - Reverse or reclaim the advanced funds.

7. Liability and Disclaimer
Raenest is not liable for:
- - Delays, errors, or interruptions in receiving data or payments from Upwork.

- - Suspend or terminate access to the Fasttrack feature at any time, with or without cause.

Upon termination, all outstanding balances owed to Raenest become immediately due.

By enabling the Fasttrack feature, you acknowledge that:
- - You have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
- - You accept full responsibility for repaying any advances if the actual Upwork payment fails or bounces.

Funds Availability Agreement
Last modified: April 2024
Purpose Of This Disclosure:
Our general policy is to allow you to withdraw funds deposited in an account by the first Business Day after the day of deposit. Funds from electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In some cases, we may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the first Business Day after the day of deposit. Our complete policy is summarized below.
For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you" and "your" refer to the customer and the terms "our", “we”, "us" refer to Raenest Inc The term "account" includes any demand deposit, negotiable order of withdrawal account, savings deposit, money market account or other non-time deposit account
Determining The Availability Of Your Deposit:
The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have your account by using these funds. Even after we have made these funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the clay of your deposit. The term "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions.
If you make a deposit before the close of business on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.
Availability Schedule:
Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you by the first Business Day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and we will use them to pay checks that you have written.
Longer Delays May Apply: In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the first Business Day after the day of your deposit. The first $225.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
- If we believe a check you deposit will not be paid;
- If you deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day;
- If you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid;
- if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or
- if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
Special Rules For New Accounts:
If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account and checks drawn on us will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525 of a day’s total deposits of U.S. Treasury checks, U.S. Postal Service money orders, cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available by the first Business Day after the day of deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,525 will be available by the ninth Business Day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525 will not be available until the first Business Day after the day of deposit.

Raenest Inc Business Debit Card Agreement
As used in this agreement, the words “we”, “our” and “us” means Raenest Inc and the words “you” and “your” means the owner, officer or employee of the business who has been issued a Raenest Inc Business Debit Card. The word “Card” refers to Raenest Inc Business Debit Card. The terms of this Disclosure Statement / Account Agreement are in addition to the Terms of Service you received upon opening your account. By signing, using and accepting the Card or by allowing anyone to use your Card, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Disclosure Statement / Account Agreement and that you will be responsible for all authorized and unauthorized transactions conducted using your Card.
Issuance of Cards: You acknowledge that the Raenest Inc is providing such service to You as an accommodation party only and except as otherwise provided by law, Raenest Inc is not responsible in any way for the manner in which the Card(s) are utilized.
Use of your Card: When you use your card to make an authorized transaction, you are authorizing us to withdraw funds from your account for the amount of the transaction. You will be assigned, or may select a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) for use with your card. You acknowledge that the PIN which you use with your card is an identification code that is personal and confidential and that the use of the PIN is a security method by which we are helping you to maintain the security of the account(s). Therefore, YOU AGREE TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS THAT NO ONE ELSE LEARNS YOUR PIN.
Mastercard POS Purchases. You may use your Card to purchase goods and services from any retail establishment (“Merchant”) that accepts Mastercard business cards. If you give your Card number to make a purchase without presenting the Card (such as Internet purchases), we will deduct the transaction from your primary checking account.
When you use your Card in person to make a purchase at a Mastercard merchant that accepts Mastercard Business Debit Cards, the merchant will obtain authorization for the amount of the transaction and if approved, we will reduce the amount of the available balance in your account by placing a temporary hold for the amount of the transaction. When the actual transaction is processed by us, your account will be debited and the temporary hold will be released. You agree to hold us harmless if we dishonor other POS or ATM transactions while the temporary hold is in place.
ATM Transactions: You may use your Card with your PIN at designated ATMs to withdraw cash.
Purchase (POS) Transaction. You may use your ATM Card with your PIN at certain retail establishments (“Merchant”) to purchase goods and services and/or to obtain cash where permitted by the Merchant (“Purchase”). The amount of such Purchases (including any cash obtained) will be deducted from your primary account.
Limitations on Card Use:
The maximum daily amount you may withdraw in cash each day and/or to make purchases at designated ATMs and retail establishments (Merchants) will be up to $XXX each business day. This limit is provided the funds are available in your account.
The day for withdrawal limits starts at 8:00am each business day and ends at 8:00am the next business day. Weekends, including three day holidays are considered “one business day”. There are also certain limitations on the frequency of use of your Card each business day. These limitations are not revealed for security reasons.
You will be denied the use of the Card if you exceed the daily withdrawal or purchase limits, do not have adequate funds available in your account, you do not enter the correct PIN or you exceed the frequency of usage limitation. There is a limit on the number of such denials permitted.
For your security, if we notice excessive use of your Card that appears suspicious, we may restrict further use of your Card until we confirm the activity with you.
Business Card Purpose: You and any cardholder agree that this Card is for use by business owners and employees. The Card can be used for business purpose point-of-sale and ATM transactions only. The Card may not be used for personal purposes. You acknowledge and understand that the card shall not be treated as a consumer card under the provisions of state and federal law. You agree to provide instructions to all Cardholders that the Card shall not be used for consumer purposes. We assume all transactions are for business purposes. We do not monitor transactions to determine their purpose.
Charges for Transactions: You agree to pay any service charges applicable to your card. You should refer to our fee schedule and/or your account disclosure for the charges currently in effect. We reserve the right to change our fee schedule from time to time and to charge your account in accordance with the fee schedule that will be provided to you at least thirty (30) days prior to the implementation date.
Notice of ATM Fees By Others: If you use an automated teller machine that is not operated by us, you may be charged a fee by the operator of the machine and/or by an automated transfer network.
Purchase Refunds: Any refund to you by a merchant must be made by credit to your account. No cash refunds are permitted.
Illegal Activities: You agree not to use your Card or Account to engage in activities deemed illegal by federal and/or state laws, including but not limited to Internet gambling. If you use your Card to engage in activities deemed to be illegal, you understand you will be liable for any transactions conducted.
Unauthorized Transfers/Loss or Theft of Card/Errors or Questions: You may not have the benefit of any consumer law limiting liability with respect to unauthorized use of your card. This means your liability for the unauthorized use of your Card could be greater than the liability in a consumer debit card transaction. You accept and agree to undertake the additional risk and greater measure of liability associated with the use of business purpose cards as described in this agreement.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card and/or PIN has been lost or stolen. If your Card and/or PIN are lost, stolen or used without your permission, you agree to notify us immediately by emailing us at support@raenest.com
We will not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from the unauthorized use of your Card. If you or any authorized user furnishes a Card to another person, you shall be deemed to have authorized all transactions that may be accomplished by the Card.
You agree to examine your receipts and electronic statements using ordinary care and to report any errors to us within a reasonable period of time, not exceeding a total of 60 days from when the statement containing the error or problem was first mailed or made available to you. If you do not report within 60 days, we will be entitled to treat the information in the periodic statement as correct and you will be precluded from asserting otherwise.

An ATM does not have sufficient cash
A terminal or system is not working properly
Circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent a transaction
A merchant refuses to accept your card
An ATM rejects your card
There may be other limitations on our liability.
Amendment of this Agreement: You agree that from time to time we may amend or change the terms of this Agreement. We may do so by notifying you electronically of such amendments or changes and your use of the Card after the effective date of any such amendment or change shall constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such amendment or change.
Ownership: You agree that any card we issue is our property and you will surrender it to us upon our request, or upon the cancellation of your Card or closing of your account. We reserve the right to revoke your Card privilege at any time and to require you return your Card. You agree that we may terminate, limit or modify your Card access at any time without notice to you.

- One-time on-demand transfers, which allow me to initiate multiple, non-recurring, individual transfers based on the transfer date and dollar amount that I request through the Transfer Funds feature of Online and Mobile Banking from time to time;
- Recurring transfers, which allow me to initiate recurring transfers of a set dollar amount at regular intervals that I have established through the Transfer Funds feature of Online and Mobile Banking; and/or
- Other ACH transfer features that Raenest Inc may make available.
Subject to the terms of the Transfer Funds feature and the terms of my other agreements with Raenest Inc, I hereby authorize Raenest Inc to initiate electronic credit/debit entries to my eligible Raenest Inc account(s) and each registered External Account indicated previously for (a) various amounts at varying times by making on-demand transfers pursuant to my instructions, and/or (b) fixed amount at the frequency I have selected by making recurring transfers pursuant to my instructions (a “Preauthorized Transfer”). If any transfer date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, I understand and agree that the transfer may be executed on the next business day, or as soon as reasonably possible at the discretion of Raenest Inc.
I hereby represent and warrant that I have all necessary right, power and authority to debit and credit my Raenest Inc account and any External Account(s) registered, and that all information or instructions that I provide to Raenest Inc in relation to any ACH transfer is complete and accurate. I agree that ACH transactions I authorize comply with all applicable law.
Should an incorrect amount be withdrawn from or deposited to my External Account(s) or my Raenest Inc account(s), I authorize Raenest Inc to correct the error by debiting/crediting my External Account(s) or my Raenest Inc account(s).
This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Raenest Inc has received written notification from me of its termination in such a time and in such a manner as to afford Raenest Inc a reasonable opportunity to act on it. For Preauthorized Transfers, I understand that it is my responsibility to contact Raenest Inc to stop or cancel a Preauthorized Transfer at least three business days prior to the following scheduled payment. In either case, I will send my notice to: payment@raenet.com.
I acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions must comply with the provisions of applicable law and the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). I request the financial institution that holds my External Account(s) to honor all transfers initiated in accordance with this authorization form.
