Measures to Increase Access to Bank Accounts Sample Clauses

Measures to Increase Access to Bank Accounts. In some Member States banks are bound by law to make Basic Bank Accounts available to those who would otherwise be financially excluded (e.g. Belgium, Finland, France, Sweden, and Denmark). Slovakia has recently enacted similar legislation and the UK has announced that legislation is proposed. Banking industries in other EU Member States have signed up to voluntary charters, either addressing in particular the issue of financial exclusion (such as 133 This could be also explained by a significantly large number of financial accounts (very similar to the BBA) provided by the Post. Summary of Findings 9 Germany) or adhering to a more general code of ethics (such as Hungary). Some countries are completely devoid of either legal obligations or voluntary charters (e.g. Austria, Spain). For example, the Czech national bank asserts the right of a credit institution to select its clients in accordance with its business plan. Although banks monitor the number of existing accounts, they do not collect information on consumers whose application for a bank account (e.g. Basic Bank Account) has been rejected. In explaining the reason for this, banks cite data protection policies and also point out that because rejected customers are free to apply for an account with another bank where they could also be rejected, were such numbers to be collected consolidated figures across the banking sector would be likely to portray an inflated picture of the extent of financial exclusion due to multiple counting. While it is the case that all countries with legislative frameworks for a Basic Bank Account have high levels of bank account penetration, some of the countries without legislation or guidance charters in this respect do provide useful examples of successful private sector solutions. For instance, there is no legal obligation in Spain to provide basic banking services to any applicant. Another example is Austria.

Such amount shall include any tax gross-up or other tax-related payments associated with Network Upgrades not refunded to the Interconnection Customer pursuant to Article 5.17.8 or otherwise, and shall be paid to the Interconnection Customer by the Participating TO on a dollar-for-dollar basis either through (1) direct payments made on a levelized basis over the five-year period commencing on the Commercial Operation Date; or (2) any alternative payment schedule that is mutually agreeable to the Interconnection Customer and Participating TO, provided that such amount is paid within five (5) years from the Commercial Operation Date.

  • Account Limitations Limitations are implemented to help protect PayPal, buyers and sellers when we notice restricted activities, an increased financial risk, or activity that appears to us as unusual or suspicious. Limitations also help us collect information necessary for keeping your PayPal account open. There are several reasons why your PayPal account could be limited, including: • If we suspect someone could be using your PayPal account without your knowledge, we’ll limit it for your protection and look into the fraudulent activity. • If your debit or credit card issuer alerts us that someone has used your card without your permission. Similarly, if your bank lets us know that there have been unauthorized transfers between your PayPal account and your bank account. • In order to comply with applicable law. • If we believe in our sole discretion that you have breached this agreement or violated the Acceptable Use Policy. • Seller performance indicating your PayPal account is high risk. Examples include: indications of poor selling performance because you’ve received an unusually high number of claims and chargebacks, selling an entirely new or high-cost product type, or if your typical sales volume increases rapidly. Unless a permanent limitation is placed on your account, you will need to resolve any issues with your account before a limitation can be removed. Normally, this is done after you provide us with the information we request. However, if we reasonably believe a risk still exists after you have provided us that information, we may take action to protect PayPal, our users, a third party, or you from reversals, fees, fines, penalties, legal and/or regulatory risks and any other liability.
