Where can I find out more about Centtrip’s Inactivity Fees?

Accepted Answer

What are Centtrip's Inactivity Fees?

A summary is provided below, but please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more details.

Where can I review all my account and card fees?

You can review your account fees within your account, in your Fee Schedule
A summary of our card fees is also provided here.
For more information, please refer to our Terms & Conditions.

Are the Inactivity Fees applicable to me?

The Inactivity Fees are applicable to all UK/Eur Corporate and Personal accounts and/or cardholders.

How will I be charged?

The inactivity fees will be debited from the associated account and/or card(s) each month. If the balance reaches zero, the account and/or card will be closed.

How do I stop my account or cards becoming dormant or inactive?

Your account and cards will only become dormant after 12 months with no change in balance. After this point, they will incur a monthly inactivity fee. Simply use your account or card to ensure it does not become dormant.

Where can I review my current Centtrip cards?

If you have multiple Centtrip cards associated with your account, we recommend regularly reviewing these to ensure any which are no longer required are closed.

Follow these steps to export a list of all your current cards.

How do I close an account or card which is no longer required?

Please email Centtrip Support with details of the account or cards you with to close.

When will the 12 months of inactivity start?

The 12 month inactivity period will include any inactivity prior to the effective date (16th July), rather than 12 months from the effective date.

So for example, if your Centtrip card or account has been inactive since 1 Sep 2021, the inactivity fee will be applicable from 1 Sep 2022.

Question 5

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 7

How do I get the best rate when withdrawing from an ATM?

Accepted Answer

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/SP7vclLu5H/resources/3XenMrtH7y/mc_symbol.svg (mc_symbol.svg)

You can use your Centtrip card to withdraw from any cash machine displaying the Mastercard Acceptance Mark above.

When taking out money, the ATM will usually give you a couple of withdrawal options to:

Process the transaction in local currency
Use the ATM’s conversation rate.

We highly recommend selecting option 1 to ensure you take out the currency held on the card and avoid any conversion fee being applied by the ATM operator.

If you select option 2 when you have the local currency on your Centtrip card, the ATM will identify it as a UK card and process the withdrawal in GBP. This means the local currency will be converted to GBP on your card and then back at the ATM’s rate, which tends to be very poor. You may also incur additional fees.

For more information about our ATM withdrawal fees, see what are your card fees?
