Applying for the Card and Customer Due Diligence

 

Eligibility: individuals aged eighteen (18) years and above, Malaysian citizens or Malaysian permanent residents or foreigners legitimately residing or gainfully employed pursuant to a valid working visa and with a valid mailing address in Malaysia. 

You may apply for the Card via the Mobile App. We may however introduce other channels for application of the Card from time to time (i.e. authorized online or offline sales channels or sales booths).

When you apply for the Card, you must provide all the information as required by us during the registration process, accept the Terms and Conditions of the Card (which includes payment of  applicable fees, if any) in order for your application to be successfully processed. You will also need to top-up the initial amount onto your Card (i.e. the minimum top-up). We will not be able to process any applications for the Card or deliver the BigPay Card to you (if you have requested for one) if the minimum top-up has not been reloaded by you or not received by us.

If you do not reload the minimum top-up (whether via the Mobile App or offline channels, if applicable) within the stipulated time period as may be specified by us from time to time, we shall treat your application as an invalid and void transaction, and you will then have to make a new application for the Card. 

The  Card comes with a Card Limit approved by us for you and is subject to the requisite Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification and approval by us.

CDD is a mandatory requirement under the Applicable Laws for any party that applies for the Card. Accordingly, in addition to the information BigPay collects from you at the point of Account application and registration for your Card, usage of the Card may require you to provide BigPay with additional information and/or documentation before we can approve your application or before you can conduct any Transaction. 

Such additional information may include information or documentation that will enable us to verify or re-verify your identity, including but not limited to your payment or funding sources, Visa or Employment Pass (if you are a foreigner) and so on. We may verify or re-verify your identity via electronic know-your-customer (e-KYC) processes. Where required, we may also obtain information about you from other sources whether directly or through public and private third parties (including credit reporting agencies), in order to verify your identity, your credit history (where required) and to ascertain the accuracy of information provided by you. We are also required under the Applicable Laws to screen all individuals who use or intend to use the Card against our own internal lists and the relevant money laundering and terrorism financing information sources, as well as global lists or databases provided by local or foreign authorities for the purposes of determining if there are any money laundering or terrorism financing risks in relation to the such individuals. 

We further reserve the right to reject, terminate and/or decline your Card application at our sole and absolute discretion and/or if our records show that you have had a bad account with us in the past in relation to any type of prepaid card issued by BigPay or if any of your previous prepaid card(s) or prepaid card account(s) issued by BigPay has been monitored by us due to unusual, irregular, suspicious, fraudulent and/or unauthorized activities or suspected misuse, or has been blocked, cancelled or terminated by us in relation to the same. We may refuse, decline and reject applications by any customer who has been blacklisted by us, Bank Negara Malaysia (or any other regulatory authority), credit reporting agencies or the relevant card payment networks. If we ascertain that you are included in any of the respective lists, including but not limited to, being from sanctioned or high risk countries, being included under the United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), if you are deemed to be a Specially Designated National (SDN), if you are included as a politically exposed person (PEP), family member or close associate of a PEP (RCA), or if you are included under any lists as provided or recommended by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and/or such other lists as may be issued from time to time by Bank Negara Malaysia, the relevant government agencies or any other regulatory authority, we may, at our sole and absolute discretion decline your application (or suspend, block or terminate your Transaction or Card, if the same has already been approved).Whilst the application for the Card is open to all customers who meet the eligibility criteria, we reserve the right to reject ANY application for the Card and/or to decline to issue a Card at our sole and absolute discretion without assigning any reasons whatsoever, and our decision shall be final and conclusive. 

It is a condition of your application for the Card that all of the personal information provided by you during the application for the Card is true, correct and complete at all times, and BigPay shall not be held liable nor responsible for any error or omission made by you, which may result in any loss suffered by you, card cancellation or any other financial discrepancies or losses on your Card Account. In the event we find that you have created a forged application or used forged data or documents in your application for the Card, we shall block, cancel or terminate your application or Card immediately without any prior notice to you, and we shall be entitled to retain any balances of funds in your Card account (including the ioining fee, if applicable) and we shall not be held liable for any loss or damage suffered by you for the same. We shall further be entitled to take any action against you as may be deemed necessary or as may be required under governing laws or by the relevant governing authorities, including reporting you to the relevant governing authorities.

Fee and Charges

We reserve the right to revise such fees or to charge additional fees (if applicable) for new services (which are optional) which may be offered by us from time to time. All fees paid to or in connection with the Card to us are non-refundable under any circumstances whatsoever. In addition, if we are unable to charge any applicable fees on the Card (including, but not limited to, account service fees for dormant or inactive accounts for a particular month) due to the fact that there are no balance of funds on the Cardholder’s Account for that particular month, then we reserve the right and shall be entitled to retrospectively charge those said applicable fees upon or once the Cardholder has topped-up the Card and Account has sufficient balance of funds.

Please always check the Fee & Charges schedule in the Mobile App and/or Website and/or as stated in the Product Disclosure Sheet (available on the Mobile App or Website) for the full details of the latest fees and charges applicable to the Card. 

Card Limit

The Card Limit is the maximum amount of money that can reside in your Card Account at any point of time. The Card Limit may vary according to the BIG Prepaid Card product type that you have applied for. You cannot load or top up funds in excess of the Card Limit that has been stipulated for the Card and approved by us for you.

Irrespective of whether you are issued the Virtual Card and the BigPay Card, you will have the same Card Limit and one Card Account only. Both the Virtual Card and BigPay Card are tied to one and the same Card Account. 

Applications without the minimum top-up cannot be processed or approved until the same has been made and all valid and legitimate ID Documents have been received and/or verified by BigPay.

Conditions of RM20k Card Limit

You may top-up your Card to the maximum RM20k being the approved Card Limit but you cannot carry out or conduct Card Transactions and Transactions (including cash withdrawals, P2P, remittance and so on) in excess of RM10k due to certain regulatory requirements and restrictions at this juncture.

Notwithstanding the above and the Card Limit, certain Cardholders may only be able to top-up their Card to a maximum of RM10k. This could be due to certain usage restrictions that are required to be imposed due to regulatory requirements, monitoring of any irregular activities or transactions in respect of the Cardholder’s Account or due to the Cardholder’s transactional behavior. 

In addition, if the Cardholder’s mobile phone is on (or operated on) an old IOS or Android version, due to certain security issues, the Cardholder will not be able to top up his/her Card to the maximum Card Limit and can only top-up to the maximum of RM10k.

After that, you can pay amounts up to RM250 via the BigPay Card’s contactless functionality.When you make a Contactless Payment, you must check the amount and hold your BigPay Card against the Contactless Reader. The Contactless Reader will show whether the payment has been successful.

When you tap, wave or touch your BigPay Card against the Contactless Reader, you are giving authorization for the transaction to be charged to your Card Account and for funds to be deducted from your BigPay Card in respect of the said transaction.

Security

BigPay treats the security of your Account with utmost priority and to this end, we use a variety of security measures to make sure that your Account is secure. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that your Account is kept safe from unauthorized access and attempts to use it for fraudulent purposes at all times. You must ensure that you do not share access of your Account with any person other than yourself and keep your login details safe. It is your responsibility to keep your Account secure and be responsible for Transactions carried out using your Account. You should never conduct any  Transactions on behalf of any third parties or allow any other individual to conduct a Transaction on your behalf. You should never use the Mobile App or submit any Transactions on a ‘jailbroken’, ‘rooted’ or otherwise modified device. In addition, you must only download or use the Mobile App on mobile devices installed with the latest and most secured operating system(s) available for the mobile device. If you find or suspect any unauthorized use of your Account or any other security breach, you must notify us immediately using any of the contact methods provided above so that we can take all the necessary steps to prevent further unauthorized use. 

Where you have notified us, or we reasonably believe that your Account has been compromised, we may stop, block or suspend your access to and use of your Account and/or the Card. We also have the right to disable or change any user name or password (if possible), whether chosen by you or provided by us to ensure the security of the Account, in our sole discretion. Note that any act or omission of BigPay in relation to any steps to be taken as set out above does not make BigPay liable to you for any loss or damage arising from the result of your failure to keep your Account secure and notifying us of the same. 

If you believe that a Transaction was made without your authorization, you must contact us immediately. We will conduct an investigation and may provide refunds of unauthorized Transactions unless:

• you have acted fraudulently; 

• you have intentionally or negligently compromised the security of your Account or failed to keep the details you use to access the Account secure; or 

• otherwise due to termination by BigPay due to Events of Default or due to suspicious, fraudulent, unusual, irregular or unauthorized activity.

If our investigations result in any special circumstances deviating from the above and affect the outcome of your liability and/or eligibility for a refund, we will notify you. Note that we have no responsibility towards you for any loss caused by unauthorized access prior to you notifying us. A charge may also be applied for any refund request if the unauthorised use, loss, theft or misuse of the Account was caused by your error, carelessness or negligence.

In cases where we have reason to believe that you have acted fraudulently, we may decide not to allow any refund to you, investigate the circumstances further or even forward the matter to the law enforcement authorities, including Bank Negara Malaysia. If an investigation (whether by us or the authorities) results in a finding of fraud by you, we may charge you for costs incurred by us in carrying out such investigation and further deduct these monies from your Account. If you think you have been or might be a victim of fraud, please contact us immediately.

We also regularly monitor the apps distribution platforms and will report fake mobile applications to the app distribution platforms for their further action to prevent such fake mobile applications from being made available for download by users. We also monitor sources identifying fake/phishing websites and will take the necessary action to report the same to the appropriate parties (overseeing or hosting these sites) for the same to be taken down in order to safeguard users from falling prey to scams or fraud sites guising as BigPay’s official website. In any event, users can validate the authenticity of the Mobile App through Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store, as the mobile application is signed by the Big Pay account. Notwithstanding, you must only download the Mobile App from either Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play Store. You must not download the Mobile App from any other app sites, websites or app forums as they will probably be fake or phishing sites which we do not authorize or approve to publish the BigPay App. 

Please further read the Security Alert provided under the ‘Security & Legal’ page on the Mobile App for further awareness on online transaction risks.

INTRODUCTION

BigPay Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“BigPay”, “we” or “us”) is committed to ensuring that all transactions performed online is secure, safe and confidential. We have made it a point to reinforce our systems with safeguards to preserve a secure environment for you to carry out your transactions and now wish to provide you with safety precautions that are practical, effective and in certain instances obligatory for online and overseas usage of your card.

We treat the security of your account with utmost priority and to this end, we use a variety of security measures to make sure that your account is secure. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that your account is kept safe from unauthorized access and attempts to use it for fraudulent purposes at all times. You must ensure that you do not share access of your account with any person other than yourself and keep your login details safe. It is your responsibility to keep your account secure and be responsible for transactions carried out using your account. You should never conduct any transactions on behalf of any third parties or allow any other individual to conduct a transaction on your behalf. You should never use the BigPay App or submit any transactions on a ‘jailbroken’, ‘rooted’ or otherwise modified device. In addition, you must only download or use the BigPay App on mobile devices installed with the latest and most secured operating system(s) available for the mobile device.  If you find or suspect any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach, you must notify us immediately using any of the contact methods provided so that we can take all the necessary steps to prevent further unauthorized use.

We also regularly monitor the apps distribution platforms and will report fake mobile applications to the app distribution platforms for their further action to prevent such fake mobile applications from being made available for download by users. We also monitor sources identifying fake/phishing websites and will take the necessary action to report the same to the appropriate parties (overseeing or hosting these sites) for the same to be taken down in order to safeguard users from falling prey to scams or fraud sites guising as BigPay’s official website.

In any event, you can always validate the authenticity of BigPay’s mobile app through Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store, as the mobile application is signed by the BigPay developer account. Notwithstanding, you must only download the BigPay app from either Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play Store. You must not download the BigPay app from any other app sites, websites or app forums as they will most probably be fake or phishing sites which we do not authorize or approve to publish the BigPay app.

​

​

PROTECT YOURSELF

In addition to our security measures you also play an important role in safeguarding your transactions made through your computer and mobile devices. We recommend that you do the things as listed below:-

1. Install anti-virus and anti-malware
Protect your devices from virus and malware by installing anti-virus and anti-malware software. To maximise your protection, update them regularly to make sure you always have the latest virus definition.

​

2. Avoid rooting or jailbreaking your mobile devices
It is not advisable to use a rooted or jailbroken device as they are more vulnerable to fraudulent attacks. A rooted or jailbroken device has minimal security, making it easier for a fraudster to gain access to your personal details and other information stored or transmitted through your device.

​

3. Install a personal firewall
Firewall software and/or hardware helps provide a protective shield between your computer/mobile devices and the Internet. This barrier can help prevent unauthorised people gaining access to your computer/mobile devices, reading information from it or placing viruses on it while you are connected to the Internet.

​

4. Install anti-spyware software
Spyware is a general term for hidden programs on your computer/mobile devices that track what you are doing on your computer/mobile devices. Spyware is often bundled together with file sharing, email virus checking or browser accelerator programs, and is installed on your computer/mobile devices without your knowledge to intercept information about you and your computer/mobile devices. The type of information gathered can include personal Internet usage, and in some instances, confidential data such as passwords. You can download and run a specialist program designed to help identify and remove threats from spyware. Like an anti-virus program, it also needs to be regularly updated in order to recognise the latest threats.

​

5. Keep your browser and operating system up-to-date
From time to time security weaknesses or bugs are found in browsers and operating systems. Usually 'Service Packs' are issued by the software company to make sure these are fixed as quickly as possible. You should make regular checks on your software vendor's website and apply any new security patches as soon as possible to ensure you have the most updated security features available.

​

6. Avoid running programs or opening email attachments from any source you do not know or trust
You should not install software or download any files from websites (e.g. programmes, games, and screensavers) that you aren't completely sure about. We also recommend that you scan all email attachments for viruses and avoid opening any from people or organisations that you do not know or trust. However, some viruses may forward infected emails to everyone in an address book, therefore you can also get an infected attachment from someone you know. If you are not sure what is in the attachment, do not open it.

​

7. Be cautious when using public or shared computers/networks
If you access your accounts using a computer in a cyber café, a library or your workplace, try to ensure the computer has the latest antivirus, firewall, antispyware and browser software installed. Although Wi-Fi is a convenient way for you to access the Internet, it is not advisable and we caution you against accessing your account via public Wi-Fi connection especially in public places like airports, hotels or shopping malls.

​

8. Be proactive
You should regularly be kept informed of your accounts by checking all transaction alerts in a timely manner and to check account balances on a regular basis to detect any unauthorised transaction, error or discrepancy and to report the same to BigPay in the event any unauthorised transaction, error or discrepancy is detected.

​

​

TYPES OF THREAT

Protect yourself from becoming a victim of online fraud. Listed here are the four major types of threat: -

1. Computer Viruses
Computer viruses are malicious software which are also known as malware that infect computer devices and perform harmful activities. It can be viruses, Trojans and spyware to “PC Optimization” programs that harm your devices, interfering with the system's operations, corrupting data, logging user's keystrokes and stealing private information.

2. Phishing Scam
“Phishing” is a type of identity theft where criminals blast emails to mass audience purportedly from BigPay  in their malicious attempt to bait user into fake websites. It usually comes with a link that the user can click on which will direct the unsuspecting victim to a fake website and the user will be asked to disclose confidential or financial information, passwords, and credit card numbers along with highly confidential information. More often than not, the emails may imply a sense of urgency or serious consequences should the user did not respond to it. For example, it could be worded in such a manner that if no action is taken, the account will be suspended.

3. Phone Scam
This comes in the form of the phony disguises as a BigPay staff, Bank Negara Malaysia or someone you can trust who calls you. The victim is usually informed of some irregularities with the account in question and action needed to be taken immediately. Usually the user will be “alerted” of “missing money” or that the user's account has been compromised by possible scams by the phony. To rectify user’s losses or to prevent the “scams”, the phony will instruct the user to perform a online transaction to a third-party account.

4. SMS Scam
These are fraudulent SMS sent to user victims informing them that they have won a cash prize or requiring them to call a given number to confirm on a transaction involving the user's credit card or account information. To claim the prize, the victim is told to transfer a certain amount of money to a third party account or open an internet banking account at the ATM. The victim is tricked into divulging the registered User ID and Password to the fraudster. Having done as instructed, the victim has unknowingly given the fraudster access to their banking account. 
 

What should you do?

• Do not click on adware or suspicious URL sent through SMS/Messaging services.

• Do not use public Wi-Fi networks that are suspicious for online transactions.

• Do not save your login details on a public computer.

• Do not respond to suspicious emails or SMS content from suspicious links or unsolicited senders seeking personal or confidential information.

• Do not respond to a request seeking for you to validate or verify your personal and confidential information.

• Do not respond to any SMS or call from an unknown person asking details of any transaction.

• Do not respond to any call from a person claiming to be from Bank Negara Malaysia. Their officers will never call to ask you about an online transaction.

• Clear your cache (information stored in your computer or mobile application memory) each time you log out.

• Change your password frequently. If you think your password has been compromised, contact us to reset your password.

• Avoid downloading free programs. These may incorporate hacker-friendly software.

• Install anti-virus or anti-malware software.

• Refrain from rooting or jailbreaking your mobile devices as this could compromise its security features.

Take note that on principle, we would NEVER ask you to validate personal or confidential information via e-mail. If for some reason you have entered sensitive information after clicking on a link or if you suspect that you’ve been a victim of fraud, please contact us immediately.
