Não é possível aceitar o financiamento de nossas contas de clientes por qualquer um dos seguintes métodos: Qualquer forma de transferência eWallet como o PayPal Bitcoin ou qualquer outra forma de moeda virtual Dinheiro ou notas de banco em qualquer moeda ou em qualquer montante Cartão de crédito ou débito Cyber Ouro ou outros meios eletrônicos de transferência de metais preciosos Os nossos dados de roteamento de transferências bancárias para dentro e as informações de limite de divulgação de transferências bancárias estão disponíveis na nossa equipe de Atendimento ao Cliente ou por telefone para 36 1 383 0853 ou pelo Skype para loyalbankcustomerservice em cada caso dando ao cliente do Loyal Bank ID (por razões de segurança, por favor não se identifique pelo seu número de conta do Loyal Bank) e nós lhe enviaremos os detalhes por retorno. Todos os novos clientes receberão esses detalhes na abertura da conta como parte de nossa carta de boas-vindas padrão. Diferentes contas correspondentes são usadas para diferentes moedas e, portanto, os diferentes roteiros não são de forma alguma intercambiáveis. Os roteamentos internos dependem da moeda e da localização física do banco que inicia a transferência dos fundos para nós. Os detalhes da transferência devem ser especificados em seu formulário de pedido de fio como mostrado nas instruções. Como requisito prévio de cada transferência, o banco deve possuir documentos de due diligence válidos de seus clientes: uma cópia de um passaporte válido ou ID para clientes particulares e um Certificado de Boa Permanência (COGS) ou similar para corporações. Por favor, note que um Certificado de Boa Permanência é válido por um ano, portanto, as empresas devem enviar uma cópia do COGS anualmente. Podemos também pedir-lhe que nos forneça provas documentais ou documentação de apoio sobre a finalidade do pagamento, por ex. Uma cópia de uma fatura, contrato ou acordo. O Banco reserva-se o direito de solicitar documentação adicional para transferências de qualquer valor, uma vez que estamos legalmente obrigados pelas leis de nossa jurisdição a manter essa informação em nossos arquivos.

Quanto dinheiro posso transferir de uma conta para outra dentro do Banco Não há um montante mínimo ou máximo que possa ser transferido, desde que o valor liberado esteja disponível em sua própria conta para enviar e não causar quaisquer outras condições a serem Violado 3. Por que os montantes de transferências bancárias para o exterior às vezes são reduzidos por taxas não anunciadas As taxas fornecidas em nosso site são apenas taxas do Banco Leal. Bancos correspondentes podem às vezes cobrar suas taxas também e cada banco correspondente tem taxas diferentes, portanto, não há taxa de transferência fixa. De acordo com a prática bancária, as comissões de bancos intermediários intermediários (se houver) são debitadas do valor transferido através deles: o Loyal Bank não recebe nenhuma parte dessas taxas e não tem controle sobre se elas são cobradas ou não. 4. Pode o Loyal Bank traçar fios entrantes, que ainda não foram recebidos? Não, lamentamos que não haja um sistema internacionalmente aceito para isso, pois isso implicaria que tivéssemos acesso a outros sistemas de processamento de bancos, aos quais eles geralmente se opõem. Apenas o banco remetente pode rastrear uma transferência que ainda não nos chegou. 5. Qual é a diferença entre os códigos de carregamento SWIFT SHA, OUR e BEN O sistema de mensagens SWIFT utilizado por todos os bancos em todo o mundo permite que os pagamentos de clientes sejam enviados com um dos três códigos de tarifação diferentes. Estes códigos cobrem quem paga por certas taxas de transferência bancária, o remetente ou o destinatário dos fundos (ou ambos). Depois de uma transferência SWIFT ter sido enviada, o código SWIFT não pode ser alterado durante o percurso. Os códigos: SHA ndash todas as taxas de transferência bancária correspondente são partilhadas entre o cliente da encomenda eo cliente beneficiário. O cliente que encomenda apenas paga a taxa padrão do Loyal Bank, o cliente beneficiário o restante (por dedução do montante enviado). A maior parte das transferências bancárias SWIFT são enviadas com encargos SHA e este é o código de cobrança predefinido utilizado pelo Loyal Bank se o nosso cliente não especificar outro. NOSSO - todas as taxas de transferência bancária correspondente são pagas pelo cliente que pede, incluindo quaisquer taxas cobradas por qualquer banco estrangeiro. Com encargos O NOSSO beneficiário recebe o montante exacto enviado pelo cliente ordenante, embora o banco do beneficiário ainda pode fazer uma taxa para receber os fundos. BEN - todas as taxas bancárias são pagas pelo cliente beneficiário através de uma dedução do montante da transferência, excepto para a taxa padrão do Loyal Bank que é paga pelo cliente da encomenda. Loyal Bank não tem controle sobre os montantes que os bancos estrangeiros podem deduzir e remetentes devem concordar com o beneficiário que o beneficiário paga essas taxas se um fio é enviado com encargos BEN. 6. Existem limitações nas transferências com conversão Não, nenhuma no presente. 7. Posso ter pagamentos do PayPal recebidos e creditados na minha conta do Loyal Bank.

What is a standing order A standing order is an instruction you set up to execute outgoing transfers from your account periodically to another bank account, be it a Loyal Bank account or any other bank for frequent payments with fixed amounts, however in case the frequency, dates or amount you want to send changes, you will need to update your standing order. Standing orders in Loyal Bank are not direct debits. Standing orders are optional and set only by the payer (you) whilst direct debits are agreed formally with a pre-authorized debit and a pre-authorized payment. 2. How can I request standing orders This can be done via our NetBank if you have a Digipass, either for internal or external transfer standing orders. If you need to entirely cancel a standing order you can also do it via the NetBank with your Digipass, however if you need to modify a standing order, you will always need to contact our Customer Service team on or by phone to 36 1 383 0853 or by Skype to loyalbankcustomerservice . In case you do not have a Digipass you can only request standing orders for internal transfers by contacting our Customer Service team. 3. What information do I need to create or request a standing order You need to know: From which account you would like to make transfer (in case you have more than one account with Loyal Bank) You need to assign a name for the standing order (e. g. the name of the institution you are sending the payment to) The full beneficiary account details. If it is a standing order for an internal transfer the beneficiary account number should be active and open in our bank otherwise you cannot set up the standing order. If it is for an external transfer you need to have ready all of the beneficiary details such as the beneficiary account number and SWIFT code of their bank, beneficiary account name, beneficiary address, intermediary bank SWIFT code and name and the method to share transfer costs (SHA, OUR or BEN: see FAQ 28 ). In all cases you need transfer amount and currency, validity period, date for transfer execution, frequency of standing orders and due date. 4. What happens if the date for execution falls on a weekend or on a bank holiday The standing order will be executed on the last working date before the weekend or the bank holiday. If you would like it processed otherwise a modification is necessary. 5. Do I have to have the funds to process standing orders Can I pay afterwards Yes, you have to always have a sufficient cleared balance for the standing order to be executed on the date you specified. We cannot overdraw your account to pay a standing order and it will be missed, and only processed on the next date (funds permitting). If you deposit funds in no more than 10 calendar days after the due date, the standing order is still paid, but if funds arrive after 10 days payment is not until the next due date. 6. What happens when the standing order is for a transfer that involves conversion Our banking system will always debit transactions in the currency of your account if the outward transfer is in a different currency this conversion will be calculated and will take place on the due date. The conversion will not be recalculated in case funds arrive in the account later on, the calculation that the system performed on the originally set date for execution will only be valid for that date. Any subsequent payment is at the conversion rate on that day only, not the previous day. 7. Can I create standing orders to initiate transfers to non ndash bank financial institutions No. Standing orders can only be created to initiate transfers to banks with a SWIFT code. There is no possibility to initiate standing orders for transfers to remittance companies such as MoneyGram, e-commerce services such as PayPal, nor to electronic cash systems such as Bitcoin. 8. What happens if the standing order does not takes place due to lack of balance in my account The transfer stays in Pending status until it receives enough funds to be processed. In the case of internal transfers, the pending status changes to cancelled status after 10 calendar days and the transfer will not take place. In the case of external transfers, the pending status changes to cancelled status after 14 calendar days and the transfer will not take place. 9. Starting from when a standing order is valid If you create, request or cancel a standing order your instruction is executed two days after you set it up. If you create, request or cancel the same day or one day before the required execution date, the request or cancellation will not be valid. 10. How can I modify an existing standing order You can modify standing orders by calling our Customer Service team who will be able to help you after identifying you as a client asking you our standard security questions. Using a Digipass you can, instead of modifying, delete the existing standing order and create a new one. 11. What are the options for standing orders frequency Weekly, monthly, every 2 months, quarterly, every 6 months or yearly. Governance 1. What is the status of St. Vincent and the Grenadines St. Vincent and the Grenadines is rated quotfully compliantquot by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, an agency of the United Nations). This is the international body with oversight of international tax transparency which places countries on quotblackquot, quotgreyquot, or quotwhitequot lists depending on their level of cooperation, black being non co-operative and white been fully co-operative. St. Vincent is on the white the list and it has completed the requisite number of Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs) mdash 21 in total mdash with other states to illustrate its commitment to tax transparency and information exchange. This is more than the number required to meet international standards. 2. Are Disclosures made by Loyal Bank about client39s information There are some circumstances where Loyal Bank will disclose client information. These are guided by the rule in the legal case Tournier v National Provincial and Union Bank of England 1924 1 KB 461 which was a landmark legal case in the United Kingdom. St. Vincent follows English Common Law so this would set a precedent here. Tournier established the conditions under which banks owed confidentiality to their clients, allowing four circumstances wherein banks could reveal information and were not required to guard privacy. These are: where compelled by (1) the law of the land, i. e. St. Vincent law to do (2) as a public duty, (3) to safeguard the interests of the bank itself, or (4) where the client had requested or consented, even implicitly, to such disclosure. 3. Are there tax treaties, TIEAs and other tax-related regulations affecting St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tax treaties: St. Vincent and the Grenadines has signed the CARICOM treaty ndash a Multilateral Double Taxation Treaty signed by the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago. TIEA: Tax Information Exchange Agreements exist with Aruba, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Curacao, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Saint Maarten, Sweden, and United Kingdom. TIEAs are established pursuant to the International Co-operation (Information Exchange Agreement) Act, 2011. Other regulations: The Mutual Legal Assistance is the formal process of cooperation between two or more jurisdictions. For example: on cross-border money laundering, asset recovery and tax evasion cases. This co-operation is usually enacted through a treaty a state can ask for and receive assistance in gathering information and evidence from sources for use in official investigations and prosecutions of criminal matters. Each jurisdiction has a Competent Authority which is authorised to respond to a request from another Competent Authority on matters related in tax information. The request must fulfil detailed requirements and will not be honoured if too vague and is deemed to be a so ndash called fishing expedition (frivolous extraction of information). Ownership: Revealed in criminal tax matters only. Bearer shares must be held by an approved custodian. 4. Why aren39t the Loyal Bank audited Financial Statements on the website It is not a legal requirement in St. Vincent to make our financial statements publicly available and that is the reason they cannot be found on our website. On a case by case basis we do supply our financial statements to certain business partners or stakeholders. By law the Financial Statements are supplied to our regulator the Financial Services Authority in St. Vincent and the Grenadines by 31st March each year. 5. Can I meet your auditors, or write to them so I can find out more about your bank No. Loyal Bank39s dealings with its external auditors KPMG Caribbean are entirely confidential and no such meeting can be considered. KPMG will not respond to any such inquiries as they too are bound by the laws of confidentiality. 6. Can a client opt out of FATCA reporting, or tell us not to report on him under FATCA No. FATCA reporting is mandatory for Loyal Bank and will soon be law in SVG. There is no option for any client, who is eligible to be reported on under FATCA, to quotopt outquot or to instruct the bank not to report. Any such instruction from a client must be declined and the client informed that we are unfortunately unable to carry out his request as we are obliged to report by law. 7. Who does the bank actually report to SVG, in common with all Caribbean states, adopted FATCA IGA Model 1B: this means that we report to the SVG Inland Revenue (SVG IR) rather than direct to the USA IRS. By reporting to the SVG IR we meet our legal requirements under SVG legislation and FSA instructions. The SVG IR will tell us what and when to report, with the first reports not expected to be made by us until 2015. 8. Can we give a client any advice what to do about FATCA No, as the reporting entity, this would be a clear conflict of interest on our part and also we are not lawyers. The client should be advised to consult an attorney in his country or the USA who is able to give expert advice on FATCA. Investments 1. Does Loyal Bank invest client39s deposits and how Yes. All banks invest client deposits. We invest in a diversified range of equities, bonds and funds using robust and world ndash class evaluation techniques and a risk ndash adverse conservative investment philosophy. 2. Does the bank have safe custody facilities I can use to hold my valuables No. We don39t offer safekeeping as a service and we suggest you approach a specialist provider in your own jurisdiction. 3.

Account Opening 1. What is a Loyal Bank Account A Loyal Bank Account is a current account in the name of a private person or a legal entity such as a Company, Trust, Foundation etc. 2. How can I open an account The required documents and steps for account opening can be found here . 3. What is the minimum balance or what amount should be transferred at account opening There is no minimum balance, but there is a Minimum Initial Deposit (MID) requirement at account opening defined in the Notification Letter . Please see the exact definition of MID here below: Minimum Initial Deposit (MID) After allocating and advising a client account number to the client account applicant, the bank will request that a Minimum Initial Deposit (MID) be paid into the account by wire SWIFT transfer. This is not a fee but an account credit, and the funds belong to the client, however the bank may debit its full account opening charges once the MID payment is received and credited into the account. The amount required for the MID is no less than USD 1500 or Euro equivalent and there is no maximum amount. Subsequent payments into the account can be of any amount, of any frequency and there is no minimum amount per month required (except in the case of Platinum accounts). If the MID is not received by the bank within 30 days of the MID amount being requested from the client applicant, the bank reserves the right (and at its discretion) to suspend the client applicant39s account opening process until the MID funds are received. If, after a reasonable period, funds have still not been received, the Bank reserves the right (and at its discretion) to terminate the client applicant39s account opening process. Account openings declined If, having already received the MID, the bank is later compelled to decline to proceed with any client account opening due to circumstances beyond its control and including (but not limited to) breach of contract, cancellation by the applicant, proven fabrication of any document, evidence from verifiable external sources of the unsuitability of the applicant, process or compulsion of law, etc. than the bank reserves the right (and at its discretion) for charging a USD 350 termination fee. Wire remittance charges to return the balance of the MID are an additional charge. 4.

As part of the client account application process the bank will supply a unique account number to the client account applicant for the account to be allocated to the applicant, however until the account opening process has been completed and the account opening approved by the bank, as well as the Minimum Initial Deposit (MID) paid in full to the bank, the account number is not active for any purpose other than receiving the MID and the account cannot be accessed in any way by the client account applicant until the bank agrees that a Legal establishment of an account relationship is approved and exists. The bank will demonstrate and legally confirm this by issuing to the client the means to access the account, namely debit cards and or Digipass and or Internet Access Code (IAC) as well as signing the account contract, a copy of which may be provided to the applicant on request. The account number allocated is determined by the bank and there is no opportunity for the client account applicant to change or alter it unless the account application process is terminated and begun again. Legal establishment of an account relationship Until the bank agrees that the Due Diligence documentation provided by the client account applicant is completed to the standards required by the bank, mere submission of the Due Diligence and payment of the Minimum Initial Deposit does and will not create any form of contractual account relationship between the bank and the client account applicant: this is also the case even if the bank has supplied an account number to the client account applicant. 8. Why do I have to provide identification when opening an account Loyal Bank strictly abides by the legislation of our jurisdiction, the international regulations of the OECD, FATF, IMF and the Patriot Act and international best practice. This means that we always positively establish the identity of our clients, their physical location, nature of business or employment, etc. before any client account is set up and there are no exceptions to this. For these reasons we ask for notarised copies of your identification documents. All documentation provided is checked and verified using state of the art screening technology. Loyal Bank will not open any client account: If any item of due diligence is incomplete, unsigned, illegible or otherwise unusable ndash we will advise you of the problem and ask you to provide a usable document If any item of due diligence is found to have been altered, superimposed, photo shopped, otherwise forged or is found to be in any way not genuine ndash in such cases the account application is permanently terminated and an official report filed. If any international warning or alert is found, as part of our due diligence process, to exist against the account applicant39s name ndash in such cases the account application is permanently terminated and an official report filed. Loyal Bank also does not open any client account that is not in the name of the client. We will not open any account that is Proposed to be anonymous, or numbered only, or is: An alias A non ndash existent or fabricated name A pseudonym Copying or spoofing the name of a real person or company (i. e. Elvis Presley or Citibank) 9. How and when will I receive my bankcard and its PIN code, and my Digipass and its PIN When the due diligence on you and the account opening process has been completed and the account opening approved by the bank, as well as the Minimum Initial Deposit (MID) paid in full to the bank, the Bank sends you a banking package that contains: Your debit card belonging to your USD or EUR Current Account Your Account Number (15 digits) and Customer ID (8 digits) Internet Access Code for enquiries on your account via our NetBank Your bankcard PIN code will not be sent to you.

Clients can download the LB DIGIPASS Application onto their mobile device and set up a preferred PIN code or use fingerprint protection.

How do I get started Once you have read Loyal Bank Business Rules and Regulations and the terms and conditions outlined in the Bank Account Conditions. please click here to begin the process of opening account. Please also see FAQ 2, 3 and 8 which have useful information connected with account opening. 1. How Do I transfer money to my Loyal Bank Account Loyal Bank is a full member of the SWIFT Network and our SWIFT is LOYAVCVX however the routing instructions we send may contain alternative routes which may have a different SWIFT. The Bank accepts only funding of client accounts by electronic SWIFT transfer via its confirmed intermediary partner institutions and we supply a personalised routing instruction to each client of the bank. We are not able to accept funding of our client accounts by any of the following methods: Any form of eWallet transfer such as PayPal Bitcoin or any other form of cyber currency Cash or bank notes in any currency or in any amount Credit or Debit card Cyber gold or other electronic means of precious metal transfer Our inward wire transfer routing details and wire transfer disclosure threshold information are available from our Customer Service team on or by phone to 36 1 383 0853 or by Skype to loyalbankcustomerservice in each case giving your Loyal Bank customer ID (for security reasons please do not identify yourself by your Loyal Bank account number) and we will send you the details by return. All new customers will receive these details at account opening as part of our standard Welcome Letter. Different correspondent accounts are used for different currencies and so the different routings are not in any way interchangeable. The inward routings depend on the currency and the physical location of the bank that initiates the transfer of the funds to us. The transfer details should be specified in your wire order form as shown in the instructions. As a prerequisite of each transfer the bank must hold valid due diligence documents of its clients: a copy of a valid passport or ID for private customers and a Certificate of Good Standing (COGS) or similar for corporations. Please note that a Certificate of Good Standing is valid for a year, therefore corporations must submit a copy of the COGS annually. We may also ask you to provide us with documentary evidence or supporting documentation about the purpose of the payment, e. g. a copy of an invoice, contract or agreement. The Bank reserves the right to request additional documentation for transfers of any amount as we are legally obliged by the laws of our jurisdiction to hold this information in our files. You can also transfer your funds from one account at Loyal Bank to another one (an internal transfer) through the NetBank . 2. How much money can I transfer from one account to another within the Bank There is no minimum or maximum amount that can be transferred as long as the cleared amount is available on your own account to send and does not cause any other conditions to be breached. 3. Why are the amounts of outwards wire transfers sometimes reduced by unannounced fee The fees provided on our website are just Loyal Bank fees. Correspondent banks may sometimes charge their fees as well and each correspondent bank has different fees therefore there is no fixed transfer fee. According to banking practice the commissions of correspondentintermediary banks (if any) are debited from the amount transferred through them: Loyal Bank does not receive any part of these fees and has no control over whether they are charged or not. 4. Can Loyal Bank trace incoming wires, which are not received yet No, we regret there is no internationally agreed system for this as it would involve us having access to another bank39s processing systems, which they generally object to. Only the sending Bank can trace a transfer which has not yet reached us. 5. What is the difference between SWIFT charging codes SHA, OUR and BEN The SWIFT messaging system used by all banks worldwide allows for client payments to be sent out with one of three different charging codes. These codes cover who pays for certain wire transfer fees, the sender or receiver of the funds (or both). Once a SWIFT transfer has been sent out, the SWIFT code cannot be changed en route. The codes: SHA ndash all correspondent bank transfer fees are shared between the ordering customer and the beneficiary customer. The ordering customer only pays Loyal Bank39s standard fee, the beneficiary customer the rest (by deduction from the amount sent). Most SWIFT wire transfers are sent with charges SHA and this is the default charging code used by Loyal Bank if our client does not specify another. OUR - all correspondent bank transfer fees are paid by the ordering customer including any fees charged by any foreign bank. With charges OUR the beneficiary receives the exact amount sent by the ordering customer although the beneficiary39s bank might still make a charge for receiving the funds. BEN - all bank fees are paid by the beneficiary customer by a deduction from the amount of the transfer except for Loyal Bank39s standard fee which is paid by the ordering customer. Loyal Bank has no control over the amounts that foreign banks might deduct and senders should agree with the beneficiary that the beneficiary pays these charges if a wire is sent with charges BEN. 6. Are there any limitations on transfers with conversion No, none at present. 7. Can I have payments from PayPal received and credited to my Loyal Bank account No. PayPal does not offer its full range of services (paying and receiving) in all countries and in some cases, like St. Vincent, payments cannot be received by us from anyone, only made by someone in SVG for purchases. This is a restriction of PayPal and not of Loyal Bank. 8. Can I send funds to my Loyal Bank account via Western Union or MoneyGram No. Although Western Union and MoneyGram are genuine and reputable companies we do not accept Western Union or MoneyGram electronic transfers into accounts, we only accept wire (SWIFT) transfers because Western Union or MoneyGram in St. Vincent are only paid in East Caribbean Dollars cash (see item 46 ). 9. Can I ask for a manual funds transfer Yes, but the reason must be explained to us in full. Additional documentation is also required, and the bank may decline the request if the circumstances do not appear to justify a manual transfer. 10. What is the IBAN for my Loyal Bank Account Loyal Bank accounts are not part of the IBAN system as we are not located in Europe so no Loyal Bank has an IBAN. Your account number begins with ldquo104rdquo and is advised to you at the time of account opening. CirrusMaestro Bankcards 1.

What is a CHIP card A CHIP card looks just like a traditional debit card with an embedded chip in addition to the standard magnetic stripe on the back of the card. The small chip encrypts all data and information to make the card more secure when making transactions. 2. What is a smart card or an EMV card These are just different names for the CHIP card. ldquoCHIP and PINrdquo is another name. By the way, EMV stands for Europay MasterCard VISA, which is a technical standard for smart payment cards and for payment terminals and automated teller machines which can accept them. 3. Are CHIP cards safe Yes, CHIP cards are safe the technology has been developed especially to make cards more secure and this is the main benefit. It is much more difficult to steal card data from the encrypted chip than from cards only with a magnetic stripe. 4. How are CHIP cards different from regular cards They are the same and provide the same benefits the only difference is that CHIP cards are safer. 5. How do I use my CHIP card It is easy rather than swiping your card, you will simply insert your CHIP card into the terminal to complete the transaction. The card stays in the terminal until the transaction is finished. The rest of the process remains the same as using your regular (magnetic stripe) bank card. For online, mail order or telephone order transactions, nothing changes. If the shop does not accept CHIP cards, just swipe your card as you do now. 6. Where can I use my CHIP card CHIP technology is already used in more than 130 countries around the world, with more countries adopting this technology annually. In some countries CHIP cards are the only widely accepted cards to make transactions with. Your CHIP card will still work at terminals where only magnetic stripe transactions are accepted. To give you more precise information, CHIP cards are widely accepted in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, while in Asia and the United States adoption is yet low. Contactless Bankcards 1. Are CHIP and contactless technologies the same No, these are different features of cards. CHIP technology is to make transactions more secure, while contactless technology is an optional feature to make transactions faster. 2.

Better record keeping for small amount purchases usually made with cash. It is easier than carrying coins wherever you go. 4. Where can I use my Contactless bank card 5.

What is a standing order A standing order is an instruction you set up to execute outgoing transfers from your account periodically to another bank account, be it a Loyal Bank account or any other bank for frequent payments with fixed amounts, however in case the frequency, dates or amount you want to send changes, you will need to update your standing order. Standing orders in Loyal Bank are not direct debits. Standing orders are optional and set only by the payer (you) whilst direct debits are agreed formally with a pre-authorized debit and a pre-authorized payment. 2. How can I request standing orders This can be done via our NetBank if you have a Digipass, either for internal or external transfer standing orders. If you need to entirely cancel a standing order you can also do it via the NetBank with your Digipass, however if you need to modify a standing order, you will always need to contact our Customer Service team on or by phone to 36 1 383 0853 or by Skype to loyalbankcustomerservice . In case you do not have a Digipass you can only request standing orders for internal transfers by contacting our Customer Service team. 3. What information do I need to create or request a standing order You need to know: From which account you would like to make transfer (in case you have more than one account with Loyal Bank) You need to assign a name for the standing order (e. g. the name of the institution you are sending the payment to) The full beneficiary account details. If it is a standing order for an internal transfer the beneficiary account number should be active and open in our bank otherwise you cannot set up the standing order. If it is for an external transfer you need to have ready all of the beneficiary details such as the beneficiary account number and SWIFT code of their bank, beneficiary account name, beneficiary address, intermediary bank SWIFT code and name and the method to share transfer costs (SHA, OUR or BEN: see FAQ 28 ). In all cases you need transfer amount and currency, validity period, date for transfer execution, frequency of standing orders and due date. 4. What happens if the date for execution falls on a weekend or on a bank holiday The standing order will be executed on the last working date before the weekend or the bank holiday. If you would like it processed otherwise a modification is necessary. 5. Do I have to have the funds to process standing orders Can I pay afterwards Yes, you have to always have a sufficient cleared balance for the standing order to be executed on the date you specified. We cannot overdraw your account to pay a standing order and it will be missed, and only processed on the next date (funds permitting). If you deposit funds in no more than 10 calendar days after the due date, the standing order is still paid, but if funds arrive after 10 days payment is not until the next due date. 6. What happens when the standing order is for a transfer that involves conversion Our banking system will always debit transactions in the currency of your account if the outward transfer is in a different currency this conversion will be calculated and will take place on the due date. The conversion will not be recalculated in case funds arrive in the account later on, the calculation that the system performed on the originally set date for execution will only be valid for that date. Any subsequent payment is at the conversion rate on that day only, not the previous day. 7. Can I create standing orders to initiate transfers to non ndash bank financial institutions No. Standing orders can only be created to initiate transfers to banks with a SWIFT code. There is no possibility to initiate standing orders for transfers to remittance companies such as MoneyGram, e-commerce services such as PayPal, nor to electronic cash systems such as Bitcoin. 8. What happens if the standing order does not takes place due to lack of balance in my account The transfer stays in Pending status until it receives enough funds to be processed. In the case of internal transfers, the pending status changes to cancelled status after 10 calendar days and the transfer will not take place. In the case of external transfers, the pending status changes to cancelled status after 14 calendar days and the transfer will not take place. 9. Starting from when a standing order is valid If you create, request or cancel a standing order your instruction is executed two days after you set it up. If you create, request or cancel the same day or one day before the required execution date, the request or cancellation will not be valid. 10. How can I modify an existing standing order You can modify standing orders by calling our Customer Service team who will be able to help you after identifying you as a client asking you our standard security questions. Using a Digipass you can, instead of modifying, delete the existing standing order and create a new one. 11. What are the options for standing orders frequency Weekly, monthly, every 2 months, quarterly, every 6 months or yearly. Governance 1. What is the status of St. Vincent and the Grenadines St. Vincent and the Grenadines is rated quotfully compliantquot by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, an agency of the United Nations). This is the international body with oversight of international tax transparency which places countries on quotblackquot, quotgreyquot, or quotwhitequot lists depending on their level of cooperation, black being non co-operative and white been fully co-operative. St. Vincent is on the white the list and it has completed the requisite number of Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs) mdash 21 in total mdash with other states to illustrate its commitment to tax transparency and information exchange. This is more than the number required to meet international standards. 2. Are Disclosures made by Loyal Bank about client39s information There are some circumstances where Loyal Bank will disclose client information. These are guided by the rule in the legal case Tournier v National Provincial and Union Bank of England 1924 1 KB 461 which was a landmark legal case in the United Kingdom. St. Vincent follows English Common Law so this would set a precedent here. Tournier established the conditions under which banks owed confidentiality to their clients, allowing four circumstances wherein banks could reveal information and were not required to guard privacy. These are: where compelled by (1) the law of the land, i. e. St. Vincent law to do (2) as a public duty, (3) to safeguard the interests of the bank itself, or (4) where the client had requested or consented, even implicitly, to such disclosure. 3. Are there tax treaties, TIEAs and other tax-related regulations affecting St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tax treaties: St. Vincent and the Grenadines has signed the CARICOM treaty ndash a Multilateral Double Taxation Treaty signed by the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago. TIEA: Tax Information Exchange Agreements exist with Aruba, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Curacao, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Saint Maarten, Sweden, and United Kingdom. TIEAs are established pursuant to the International Co-operation (Information Exchange Agreement) Act, 2011. Other regulations: The Mutual Legal Assistance is the formal process of cooperation between two or more jurisdictions. For example: on cross-border money laundering, asset recovery and tax evasion cases. This co-operation is usually enacted through a treaty a state can ask for and receive assistance in gathering information and evidence from sources for use in official investigations and prosecutions of criminal matters. Each jurisdiction has a Competent Authority which is authorised to respond to a request from another Competent Authority on matters related in tax information. The request must fulfil detailed requirements and will not be honoured if too vague and is deemed to be a so ndash called fishing expedition (frivolous extraction of information). Ownership: Revealed in criminal tax matters only. Bearer shares must be held by an approved custodian. 4. Why aren39t the Loyal Bank audited Financial Statements on the website It is not a legal requirement in St. Vincent to make our financial statements publicly available and that is the reason they cannot be found on our website. On a case by case basis we do supply our financial statements to certain business partners or stakeholders. By law the Financial Statements are supplied to our regulator the Financial Services Authority in St. Vincent and the Grenadines by 31st March each year. 5. Can I meet your auditors, or write to them so I can find out more about your bank No. Loyal Bank39s dealings with its external auditors KPMG Caribbean are entirely confidential and no such meeting can be considered. KPMG will not respond to any such inquiries as they too are bound by the laws of confidentiality. 6. Can a client opt out of FATCA reporting, or tell us not to report on him under FATCA No. FATCA reporting is mandatory for Loyal Bank and will soon be law in SVG. There is no option for any client, who is eligible to be reported on under FATCA, to quotopt outquot or to instruct the bank not to report. Any such instruction from a client must be declined and the client informed that we are unfortunately unable to carry out his request as we are obliged to report by law. 7. Who does the bank actually report to SVG, in common with all Caribbean states, adopted FATCA IGA Model 1B: this means that we report to the SVG Inland Revenue (SVG IR) rather than direct to the USA IRS. By reporting to the SVG IR we meet our legal requirements under SVG legislation and FSA instructions. The SVG IR will tell us what and when to report, with the first reports not expected to be made by us until 2015. 8. Can we give a client any advice what to do about FATCA No, as the reporting entity, this would be a clear conflict of interest on our part and also we are not lawyers. The client should be advised to consult an attorney in his country or the USA who is able to give expert advice on FATCA. Investments 1. Does Loyal Bank invest client39s deposits and how Yes. All banks invest client deposits. We invest in a diversified range of equities, bonds and funds using robust and world ndash class evaluation techniques and a risk ndash adverse conservative investment philosophy. 2.
