Question 4

Can I use my card to make contactless payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Being able to make contactless payments on the go with your Centtrip card is a simple and convenient method for making purchases.

However, from time to time you will still be required to insert your card into a card-reader and enter your PIN to verify the payment. This is to help prevent fraud and keep your money secure, wherever you are around the world.

There are also daily and cumulative limits to how much you can spend on your card using the contactless method, which can vary by both country and retailer.

If after successfully making a purchase using your PIN you find you are still unable to make contactless purchases, please contact Centtrip Support so that we may investigate further.

Please note, if your card is new, contactless payments will not be enabled until you have made a purchase using your PIN.

Question 5

Can I receive Third Party Payments (TPPs) to my Centtrip account?

Accepted Answer

All payments sent to your Centtrip account must be from a specified account in the same name as the Centtrip account holder, unless you have received prior approval for a third party payment. (This is stated during account application.)

Third party payments sent without prior approval will be returned to the sender.

It can take between 3 and 15 working days for the payment to be returned once initiated by Centtrip (subject to the currency and banks involved). A fee of £20.00 or more may be charged by the intermediary bank(s) and deducted from the amount returned to the sender.

How do I request third party payment approval?

Complete the ATP Application Form for the third party account you wish to receive payment from.
Return your form, along with supporting documentation to Centtrip Compliance or your Account Manager.
Await confirmation from Centtrip before proceeding with payment.

If approved, the sender will be set up as an Approved Third Party (ATP) in our system and will be able to send payments to your specified Centtrip account. Please ensure your CENT number is included as a payment reference, to avoid delays. This can be found in the Load Account section of your Centtrip account.

Please note - submitting your application will assist us in carrying out the necessary due diligence in accordance with our regulatory and legal requirements. However, all applications are considered on case-by-case basis and Centtrip has the right to reject an application, in line with our standard Terms and Conditions. For the purposes of completing the due diligence, you may be asked for further documentation and/information.

Do I need to request approval for each payment?

You must complete the form for each third party sender you wish to recieve funds from.

However, a payment may still be returned if it falls outside of the pre-approved limits.

Question 6

Am I authorised to order Centtrip cards?

Accepted Answer

Only users who have been given authorisation can order cards within their account - select 'Manage Cards' from your account dashboard, and then switch to the 'Order Cards' tab.

If you do not see the 'Order Cards' tab, it may mean you have not been given the relevant permissions. Please contact your Corporate Super Administrator to request access.

Hints and tips

Ensure you add the payment reference provided on the Centrrip Load Account page starting with ‘CENT’ when transferring funds - this is essential to avoid any delays.
The bank account which you transfer funds from must be under the same name as your Centtrip account. If funds are received from a an unknown account, they will be returned. This can take up to x working days.
Please note, the bank details used to load your account were updated on 17 December 2020. Learn more
To load funds in a currency which is different to the one you hold in your bank account, it’s typically much more cost effective to first load funds into your Centtrip account in the same currency, and then visit the Buy Currency page to purchase your preferred currency.

Question 9

How do I make a one-time batch payment?

Accepted Answer

Upload a single spreadsheet and make a one-time payment to multiple recipients, in one or more currencies, effortlessly. The beneficiaries are not saved in your account, so your Recipients List will remain clear of any beneficiaries you only intend to make a single payment to.
