Dragon Account Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions apply to your Dragon account and Visa Debit card. Please read them carefully. You can download a copy of these Terms & Conditions at any time from within your online account portal. Log in via our website http://dragonaccount.trilogy-money.com.
The Dragon account and Visa Debit card are e-money services provided by Contis Financial Services Ltd.
In these Terms & Conditions:
“Distributor” means a third party who may distribute the account and card to you on our behalf.
“You” means the named account holder being the authorised user of the Dragon account and Visa Debit card.
“We”, “us” or “our” means Contis Financial Services Ltd or the Distributor acting on our behalf.
If you have any questions you can contact Customer Services by:
Your Dragon account and Visa Debit card is issued by Contis Financial Services Limited, Navigation House, Belmont Wharf, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 1RL, who is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (registered number 900025) as an e-money issuer. Your Dragon account and card may be distributed by a third party on our behalf.
A Dragon account is an electronic money account from which you can make and receive payments. You can use your account to make transfers to other accounts, set up standing orders and make Direct Debit payments.
A Dragon account card is a Visa Debit card that can be used worldwide wherever Visa is accepted. It can be used online, in shops, over the phone or to withdraw cash from an ATM.
You can only spend money that you have paid into your account, so before making transfers or using your card you need to make sure there are enough funds in the Dragon account. Monies in the Dragon account are not bank deposits and do not earn interest.
You must be at least 18 years old and a UK resident to be issued with a Dragon account and card. You must provide an email address and mobile phone number to open an account so that we can communicate with you.
You can apply on our website (http://dragonaccount.trilogy-money.com).
Before we can open an account for you and issue you a card, we will require evidence of your identity and we may require evidence of your residential address. You may need to provide us with documents such as passport, driving licence, national identity documents, utility bills, bank statements or other documents to confirm your identity. We will also need to carry out checks on you electronically.
As soon as you receive your card you must sign the signature strip on the back.
You will then need to activate your card. You can do this:
You also need to obtain your PIN to authorise chip-and-pin transactions and ATM withdrawals. You can get your PIN by calling Customer Services when you activate your card or through your online account.
By activating your card you are agreeing to these Terms & Conditions. Your card must be activated within 3 months of it being issued or it may be automatically cancelled and your account may be closed.
If you have ordered a card for someone else, it is your responsibility to give them the information required to activate the card and retrieve the PIN. If they start using the card we will take this as confirmation that you have communicated these Terms & Conditions to them and that they have accepted them.
If you want to change your PIN, you can do so at any ATM with the Visa logo in the UK or at any ATM with PIN management functionality, locate ATMs with the “PIN change” attribute at https://www.visa.com/atmlocator/#(page:home). You can get a reminder of your PIN through your online account at http://dragonaccount.trilogy-money.com, by mobile app or by calling Customer Services.
You may pay into your account by transfer from a bank account or by cash at selected retail outlets and any other method notified in your online account portal from time to time. The time taken to credit funds to your account will depend on the method of deposit used. You cannot pay into your account by a balance transfer from a credit card. You may only pay in funds up to your maximum account balance.
A fee may apply for each payment into your account through a PayPoint retailer, please refer to the Fees and Limits table (section 32). Certain minimum and maximum limits and usage requirements apply to your account and card; such limits and requirements are detailed in the Fees and Limits table (section 32). We reserve the right to refuse to accept any particular payment if we suspect any fraudulent activity or in the event of other exceptional circumstances.
As soon as we receive the funds that you have paid in, they will be on your account and ready to use. There may be occasions when we delay the funds reaching your account for up to three working days, this may happen when we need to confirm the transaction with the sending bank.
Where an overpayment has been made to your account in error, we reserve the right to debit the account with the excess amount to correct the payment transaction.
You may transfer funds to your envelopes within your account, details are available at the website http://dragonaccount.trilogy-money.com. You are responsible for ensuring there are enough funds in your available balance for us to authorise your transactions or enough funds in your envelope to pay any future standing orders or Direct Debits you have set up.
You can request to receive an SMS notification when funds are paid into your account, a fee applies, please refer to the Fees and Limits table (section 32).
You can make the following transactions from your Dragon account:
Like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a third party or ATM will accept your card.
You may, in addition, be required to enter a one-time passcode or other security information including, if available and you opt for this type of identification, biometric information to authorise a transaction or make account amendments. One-time passcodes will be sent to the mobile phone number registered to your account.
As soon as a transaction is authorised we will deduct the value of your transaction from the available balance on your account. Fees may be deducted at the time of authorisation or when the transaction has been confirmed through the Visa system. A full breakdown of each transaction, including charges, will be available to view on your online account portal.
Once we have received authorisation for a transaction we will transfer funds to the retailer within 3 days, or to a bank or financial institution on the day we receive the authorisation or the day you requested the payment to be made for future dated transactions. A transaction will be received as follows:
Some merchants may offer you cash back on payments you make to them. How much cash back they offer and any terms and conditions applying to that cash back will be stated on the page for that merchant within the app. If the merchant has no page in the app then any cash back offered is not via Dragon Account and subject to any terms imposed by the merchant.
Generally, authorisation for a transaction may not be withdrawn by you. However, you may be able to withdraw your authorisation where you have authorised a transaction which will take place on a future date. However, where a specific date is agreed, you may not revoke a payment order after the end of the business day preceding the agreed date.
You can cancel a Direct Debit or standing order mandate at any time by contacting us and you can manage cancellations online through your account or on the mobile app. If you want to make sure that no further payments are made under a Direct Debit you should cancel three working days before the day on which the next payment is due to be made. You must also contact the originator of the Direct Debit. You cannot normally cancel a single payment which is due to be made under a continuing Direct Debit unless you dispute the amount or date of a payment advised to you in an advance notice issued under the terms of a variable Direct Debit authority. In any other circumstances the whole Direct Debit authority must be cancelled.
To withdraw your authorisation of a Visa Debit card continuous payment authority, you must notify the retailer before the close of business on the business day before the day on which the transaction was due to take place and provide us with a copy of the notice if requested.
We may charge you an Administration Fee if a transaction is revoked by you under this paragraph (see the Fees and Limits table (section 32)).
Your card is denominated in British Pounds Sterling. If you make a purchase or an ATM withdrawal in any other currency we will convert the sum into pounds sterling using the exchange rate set by Visa on the day they process the transaction, this may differ from the actual date of the transaction.
An international transaction fee will apply to each of these transactions (see the Fees and Limits table (section 32).
Any changes to the exchange rate used to convert foreign transactions will be made immediately. You can find the exchange rate for a transaction made in a currency other than pounds sterling on a given date at: https://www.visaeurope.com/making-payments/exchange-rates
You may not use your card for illegal purposes. It also cannot be used for a limited number of specified transactions. Please see our website for details.
You can check your account by accessing it securely through our mobile app or website http://dragonaccount.trilogy-money.com. Your statement will show:
This information is accessible at all times via your online account portal, is available free of charge, and can be stored and reproduced as necessary.
You may, in addition, be required to enter a one-time passcode or other security information including, if available and you opt for this type of identification, biometric information to access your account. One time passcodes will be sent to the mobile phone number registered to your account.
You can also choose to use our SMS service to set-up SMS notifications for when money is paid into your account and when you have made a purchase or ATM withdrawal. Additional SMS services will be set out on our website or via your online account portal when they become available. Standard mobile phone charges apply, and a fee is charged for each SMS message that we send. Please refer to the Fees and Limits table (section 32). You agree that you have permission from the bill payer to access our SMS services.
Your card will be valid for 3 years. You will not be able to use your card after its expiry date. This agreement shall terminate when your card is cancelled or expires and is not replaced.
You can only spend the money that is paid into your account. Limits also apply to daily ATM withdrawals, and other limits may be applied to the amount of spend and the number of transactions you can perform. See the Fees and Limits table (section 32) and your online account portal for further details.
If, for any reason, the transaction is completed when there are insufficient funds in your account then you will have to reimburse the shortfall to us, unless it is due to an error by the retailer with whom you made the transaction.
We may collect this shortfall from any card you have with us or from any funds which you subsequently pay into your account. We may suspend your card until the negative balance is restored and charge you an Administration Fee (see the Fees and Limits table (section 32)) for transactions that you make using your card that results in a negative balance or increases the negative balance on your account.
If you dispute a transaction that has been processed on your card you should contact the merchant first as this may lead to the quickest resolution. If the dispute cannot be resolved with the merchant or you dispute any other account transaction you should contact us without undue delay and in any event within 13 months on becoming aware of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transaction.
Where you have informed us that an executed payment was not authorised by you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions , and you have taken all reasonable steps to keep safe personalised security information, keep your card secure, not disclosed your PIN or security information to anyone else and not acted fraudulently, we will:
Beyond this, we will have no further liability to you. Where payee details provided by you are incorrect, we are not liable for non-execution or defective execution of the payment transaction, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved in the payment transaction and notify you of the outcome.
You may be entitled to claim a refund in relation to transactions where:
If you allow payments to be made from your account using the UK Direct Debit Scheme, the Direct Debit Guarantee (which you’ll be given on the Direct Debit form or Direct Debit confirmation) will apply instead of the terms contained above and in section 17.
You must keep your card and security credentials safe and not let anyone else know or use them. You must keep your security information secret at all times; never disclose your PIN or security information to anyone and do not store details of your PIN with your card. Security information includes your login and password details used to access your account or any other website where your card or account details are stored. We also recommend that you check the balance on your account regularly on the mobile app, through logging onto your account at the website http://dragonaccount.trilogy-money.com or by contacting Customer Services.
If you lose your card or it is stolen, or you suspect that someone else has found out your PIN or security information or accessed your account without your permission, you must tell us without undue delay by calling us or logging onto your account through the mobile app or website and notifying us. Your card will be cancelled immediately and your account may be blocked. We run a dedicated line for lost or stolen cards; the number is +44 (0) 333 202 3645 and calls are charged at the standard geographical rate. If, after reporting a lost card, you subsequently find the card you must not use it. Cut it in half through the signature box, magnetic strip and chip.
If you ask us to do so, and provided that you provide information and assistance that we request from you, we will investigate any disputed transaction or misuse of your card or account.
If the investigations show that any disputed transaction was authorised by you, or you have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence (for example by failing to keep your card, security information or PIN secure or by failing to notify us without delay on becoming aware of the loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of the card or account), then we will not refund the transaction amount and you will be fully liable for all losses incurred because of the unauthorised use of the card or account.
If the investigations show that you have not acted fraudulently or with gross negligence, your maximum loss or liability to us for any unauthorised transaction will be limited to £35 and we will process a refund as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than the end of the business day following the day after we receive your notification.
We may refuse to pay a transaction or honour a Direct Debit:
If we refuse a transaction, we will tell you why immediately, if we can, unless it would be unlawful for us to do so. You may correct any information we hold and which may have caused us to refuse a transaction by contacting Customer Services.
You have a legal right to cancel your account and card up to 14 days from the date your account is opened without incurring any penalty and we will refund any card issue fees. We may charge you a Card Cancellation Fee if we have already incurred costs by ordering a card in your name. You can also cancel your card any time after the 14 day period subject to a Redemption Fee (the Fees and Limits table (section 32)) by contacting Customer Services. You should also cut your cancelled card in half through the signature box, magnetic strip and chip.
All fees and charges will be apportioned up until the time of the termination of the contract, and any fees and charges paid in advance will be reimbursed proportionally. You will not be entitled to a refund of money you have already spent on transactions authorised, or pending or any fees for use of the card or account before the card or account is cancelled or expires.
We may cancel your account and this agreement by giving you at least two months’ notice. Reasons for cancellation may include:
We may also cancel your account immediately if we:
We may also deny access to your card and/ or account where we consider it to be at risk of money laundering or terrorism financing, fraud or other criminal activity. Should we need to take these actions and where possible, we will give reasons for doing so except where restricted by law.
In these circumstances, you must tell us what you want us to do with any unused funds. You must do this within 3 months of the date we tell you that your account is cancelled.
You can clear the balance on your account through spending, ATM withdrawals, or transfers to other bank accounts in British Pounds Sterling. See the Fees & Limits table (section 32) for the fees that would apply.
Alternatively, you may request a refund of the funds on your account by contacting Customer Services and confirming that your card has been destroyed by cutting it up. We will transfer your funds back to you at no cost to you, unless:
If one of these situations does apply then we will charge a Redemption Fee (see the Fees and Limits table (section 32)).
We will not redeem the value of the funds on your account to you if your request for redemption of the funds is more than six years after the date of termination or expiry of this agreement.
All funds will be returned to a bank account of your choice in British Pounds Sterling. We reserve the right to see proof of your ownership of the bank account before transferring funds to it. To enable us to comply with our legal obligations, we may ask you to provide us with certain information such as identification documents before we can process your refund request.
Please also refer to section 27 below for the circumstances in which we do not give you a refund.
The account and associated card are electronic money products and although it is a product regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. No other compensation scheme exists to cover losses claimed in connection with the account and associated card. We will however ensure that any funds received by you are held in a segregated account so that should we become insolvent your funds will be protected against claims made by our creditors.
If you are unhappy in any way with your card and account or the way it is managed, you can contact Customer Services so we can investigate the circumstances for you. Any complaints you have will be dealt with quickly and fairly.
We will make every possible effort to address all points of complaint by email. We will respond within 15 business days upon receiving the complaint. If a full response cannot be providing within these timeframes, we will send a holding reply with a full response to follow within 35 business days.

We are the controller of your personal data which we will use in order to open, administer and run your account and provide payment services to you.

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of this data by closing your account.
We may change these Terms & Conditions by notifying you by e-mail or other agreed means at least two months before the change is due to happen. We will assume that you agree with the change.

If this happens, you may be unable (a) to use your card to pay for purchases or obtain cash from ATMs and/or (b) to obtain information about the funds available in your account and/or about your recent transactions.
In addition, like other payment cards, we cannot guarantee a merchant will accept your card, or that we will necessarily authorise any particular transaction. This may be because of a systems problem, something outside our reasonable control, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or because we have suspended, restricted or cancelled your account or refused to replace it in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.
If we incorrectly deduct funds from your account, we will refund them. If we subsequently establish that the refunded amount had in fact been correctly deducted, we may deduct it from your available balance and may charge you a fee. If you do not have sufficient available balance, you must repay us the amount immediately on demand.
If unauthorised transactions occur after you have notified us of the loss, theft, compromise or unauthorised use of your card or account, and you have not acted fraudulently or in breach of these Terms and Conditions, then we will be liable.
We will not be liable:
For the SMS services we offer, we are not responsible for lost, late or undelivered text messages, notifications or communications. We accept no responsibility for any technical, computer, online, telephone, cable, electronic, software, hardware, transmission, connection, internet, website or other access issue which may hinder your ability to access the SMS services.

We may charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur in taking action to stop you using your card or account and to recover any monies owed as a result of your activities if you:
In these circumstances we will not refund transactions and we reserve the right to charge you for any reasonable costs that we incur in taking action to stop you using your account and to recover any monies owed as a result of your activities.
If you have not been fraudulent, or grossly negligent, and have used your card and account in accordance with these Terms & Conditions, your maximum liability for any unauthorised transaction resulting from the use of a lost or stolen card or details before you notify us will be £35.
We may also charge you an Administration Fee if we have to manually intervene to complete a payment or rectify an error on the account caused by an error or omission on your part.
You may allow regulated Third Party Providers (“TPPs”) (including Account Information Service Providers (“AISPs”) and Payment Initiation Service Providers (“PISPs”)) access to your online account; either to make payments, obtain account balances or obtain information on previous transactions.

You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you may have under these Terms & Conditions to any other person without our prior written consent.

Phishing is the name given to cyber fraud relating to an email/SMS message/phone call that is disguised to trick the user into clicking a link or open an attachment. This is done by the fraudster making the email something that you may want or need like, a request from your bank or a message from a friend/trusted person or even a company that you have dealings with.
Ultimately, the end goal is to gather personal information that the fraudster can use to commit fraud. Information such as Date of Birth, email password, payment card information etc. Phishing is a global problem and growing very fast in the internet world.
By taking certain precautions you can prevent one from falling prey to such attacks. In Phishing, it requires co-operation from the victim – it needs you to initiate some sort of action or provide sensitive information. Below are the steps through which you can follow to avoid such scams:
