7. Key Cardholder Responsibilities under this Agreement:
8. Activating the Card: Once a Card Account is created, a virtual Card will be created and activated immediately. You may request a physical version of the Card as well. Physical cards must be activated through the Portal through which you will be required to provide Card details as verification and set up a PIN.
9. Ownership and Use of the Card: The Loop Card is issued by WFCU and will remain, WFCU’s property.
Subject to Section 20, WFCU or Loop may cancel or suspend any features or services of the Loop Card at any time, with or without cause. Loop will provide you with as much notice of any cancellation or suspension as is reasonably possible or as otherwise required by applicable law.
You are solely and completely responsible for the possession, use, and control of the Loop Card. You must surrender the Loop Card to us immediately upon request by us. You will be liable for all transactions by Authorized Users. If you or any Authorized Users authorize another person to use the Loop Card, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, that you will be liable for all transactions arising from use of the Loop Card by such person. You should retain the receipt as a record of the transaction.
You do not have the right to stop the payment of any Transaction you conduct with the Loop Card. We and / or WFCU are not liable to you for declining authorization for any transaction, regardless of our reason.
Some merchants (including, but not limited to, restaurants, hotels, or car rental companies) may pre-authorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% (or more) above the purchase amount to ensure that there are sufficient funds available under your Loop Card-based Credit Facility to cover any tips or incidental expenses. In such cases, your Transaction will be declined if the amount available on your Loop Card-based Credit Facility will not cover the Transaction Amount plus the additional amount.
A pre-authorization will place a ‘hold’ on an amount of your available credit until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the pre-authorization amount on hold in excess of that final payment amount will be released. It may take up to 20 business days for the pre-authorization hold to be removed, and timing may vary depending on the type of merchant.
During the hold period, you will not have access to the pre-authorized amount.
10. Transactions in Foreign Currency.
A Foreign Currency Exchange Fee will apply to the following Transactions: (i) point of sale transactions, where the Transaction is not in an Approved Currency; and (ii) ATM withdrawals where the local currency is not an Approved Currency.
If a Transaction is in an Approved Currency (and the Transaction Amount is within your availability under the Loop Card-based Credit Facility Terms and Conditions in respect of such Approved Currency) then the Transaction Amount will be drawn from your Loop Card-based Credit Facility in the Approved Currency. If the Transaction Amount is in Approved Currency but exceeds your availability under the Loop Card-based Credit Facility Terms and Conditions in respect of such Approved Currency, the Transaction will be declined.
If a Transaction is not in an Approved Currency, then we will convert the Transaction Amount into CAD or first to USD and then to CAD, depending on the foreign currency, using the MasterCard Conversion Rate in effect on the day the Transaction is posted to the Account. Whether or not foreign currency will be converted directly to CAD before being posted in your Account is determined by MasterCard and is subject to change. We will then calculate the Foreign Currency Exchange Fee on the converted amount and add it to the Transaction Amount. The MasterCard Conversion Rate in effect on the posting date may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the Transaction.
11. Returns or Other Amounts on Card. Returns or Other Amounts on Card. If a Transaction is refunded to the Loop Card or if there is an other transfer of funds onto the Card (such as by way of MasterCard Send or MasterCard MoneySend) in an Approved Currency, such amount will be applied to outstanding amounts under the Loop Card-based Credit Facility Terms and Conditions in such Approved Currency. If a foreign currency Transaction that is not an Approved Currency is refunded to the Loop Card or if there is any other transfer of funds onto the Card in a currency that is not an Approved Currency, the Transaction Amount may be converted directly into CAD, or first to USD and then to CAD, depending on the foreign currency. Whether or not foreign currency will be converted directly to CAD before being posted in your Account is determined by MasterCard and is subject to change. The amount credited to the Account will not always be exactly the same as the original Transaction Amount because we do not reverse the Foreign Currency Exchange Fee and the MasterCard Conversion Rate may be different on the date when the refunded Transaction is posted to your Account.
12. Protection Against Loss, Theft, or Unauthorized Use: If your Loop Card is lost or stolen, you will be asked to provide us with your name, the Card number, the expiry date, and the Transaction history. Neither we nor WFCU can re-issue a Loop Card if you do not have your Loop Card number. If you lose the Loop Card, someone might be able to access your Loop Card-based Credit Facility. Please use the Portal to request immediate cancellation of the Loop Card. It may take up to 15 business days to process your re-issue request, provided that, if you have subscribed to “Mastercard Global Services”, the Loop Card will be re-issued to you within 2 business days of your request.
You agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to cooperate with us in our attempts to recover from unauthorized users and to assist in their prosecution.

You must: (i) keep your PIN absolutely confidential and maintain the secrecy of your PIN or any other password for your Account (which includes passwords or access codes used to access your Account online or to complete Internet or other electronic transactions); (ii) take all reasonable precautions to ensure no one finds out your PIN, including while you key-in your PIN at an ATM or at a merchant with a chip-enabled terminal; and (iii) not write any PIN or password on your Loop Card or on statements, if any, received for your Account. You must not share your PIN or any other password for your Account with anyone.
14. Mobile Payments Services: Additional terms and conditions will apply to you if you elect to use a Mobile Payments Service. To use any Mobile Payments Service provided or developed by us that may be offered from time to time, a Cardholder must agree in advance to the terms and conditions of use applicable to such Mobile Payments Service. You will be provided a copy of such terms and conditions and asked whether you agree with such terms and conditions at the time that you first log on to use such service. Such Mobile Payments Service terms and conditions, as amended from time to time, form an integral part of the Agreement.

If such a situation does arise, then you will be given notice as soon as reasonably possible in the circumstances.

“Rewards” means a certain percentage of Net Purchases charged to the Account and also referred to in these Terms and Conditions as “points”.
All other capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Loop Card-based Credit Facility Terms and Conditions.
2. Eligibility
The Program is a benefit that comes with your Card and is offered at no extra cost to you. Only one Loop Rewards Account will be set up for each Business Cardholder. This means that all Rewards earned by all Individual Cardholders will be credited to the one Business Cardholder Loop Rewards Account.
3. Earning Loop Rewards
You can earn Rewards when using your Card. Rewards are earned on Net Purchases. Rewards are earned on a per transaction basis as long as the Account is in good standing and are reflected in your Loop Rewards Account as set out below.
Please see “Appendix 1 – Earn Rates by Card” for the earn rates of how we calculate points earned.
We will multiply the value of each Net Purchase by the earn rate. If the result includes a fraction of a point, we will round down to the nearest whole point. For example, if your Net Purchase is $1.05 and your earn rate is 1 point per $1, you will earn 1 point.
Rewards are calculated according to reward tiers based on the Canadian dollar amount of Net Purchases and rounded down to the nearest dollar. Rewards are reflected as soon as the next business day in your Loop Rewards Account which can be viewed online by logging into your Account and selecting Loop Rewards or in the Loop mobile application. However, Rewards are earned and available for redemption once the Net Purchase for which the Rewards are earned is posted to the Account Statement.
Rewards credited to your Loop Rewards Account on any Eligible Purchase made with your Card that you subsequently return will be adjusted and reflected in your Loop Rewards Account. Your Loop Rewards Account balance will be reduced by the number of Rewards equivalent to the amount originally credited. You should be aware that in some cases your Loop Rewards Account balance may become negative. In such case, if Rewards are earned in the future, they are first used to offset the negative balance.
We accept no liability for any errors in the Rewards balance in your Loop Rewards Account. If any Rewards are awarded to your Loop Rewards Account in error, we reserve the right to deduct the number of Rewards awarded in error at any time, and without notice to you. We are not obligated to honour a request to redeem Rewards added to a Loop Rewards Account in error.
Rewards cannot be earned after the date your Account is closed or the date the Program is terminated.
In the event of a dispute about the amount of your Rewards earned, redeemed or deducted, our record of all Rewards will be considered conclusive unless you notify us of any discrepancy within 30 days of your statement date. You must notify us of any discrepancy through the Portal.
4. Reward Tiers
We may establish rewards tiers with separate criteria for participation, and with distinct benefits, such as access to certain restricted rewards or different rewards multipliers. While we may publicize certain requirements for participation in a rewards tier, we will ultimately make independent evaluations as to whether you qualify for any given rewards tier. We may use any information that you provide to us, or that we have access to, when determining qualification for a rewards tier and we are under no obligation to disclose the factors taken into consideration when making our determination. Your eligibility for a rewards tier may be changed at any time in our sole discretion. Please contact us through the Portal if you believe that you qualify for a specific rewards tier.
5. Referral Bonuses
Loop may offer referral bonuses in the form of points from time to time. To receive a referral bonus, your Account must be in good standing. You agree to only make recommendations to known friends and family members with whom you have a relationship and who have confirmed to you that they want to receive this communication. You must not send recommendations to people you do not know. You agree that other cardholders on your Account may also make and send recommendations. Additional terms and conditions will be set out in the promotional materials.
6. Redeeming Rewards
Rewards can be redeemed towards Net Purchases or against your Account Statement balance using the App or Portal. The standard redemption rate would allow 200 points to be redeemed for every 1 Canadian dollar of Net Purchases, provided that in some cases the redemption rate could be higher (the higher redemption rate would be indicated where applicable). Rewards can be redeemed starting at one Canadian dollar, US dollar, Euro or British pound, as applicable.
Certain Rewards or points may be subject to additional terms and conditions that will be provided to you if applicable. For example, Loop may determine Rewards or points redemption ratios and the timing of such redemption. We reserve the right to change points redemption ratios or revoke availability of redemption options in our sole discretion with or without notice.
Any Rewards partnerships with third-party service providers may also be also subject to additional terms and conditions determined by the third-party service provider. You are responsible for reviewing and understanding any such additional terms and conditions, and we disclaim any liability for claims that may arise in connection with third-party service providers.
To redeem rewards, log into your Account through the Portal. Once logged in, select the Redeem Rewards option, and your selected Net Purchase made using your Card will be paid with rewards from your Loop Rewards Account up to the full amount of your Net Purchase or the full balance of your Loop Rewards Account, whichever is less.
You may also select to apply your points as cashback, and your Account Statement balance will be paid with points from your Loop Rewards Account up to the full amount of your Account Statement balance or the full balance of your Loop Rewards Account, whichever is less.
Any authorized cardholders on your Account are authorized to log in and view points in the Account’s Loop Rewards Account and redeem Rewards.
Reward redemptions are reflected as soon as the next business day in your Loop Rewards Account and, on a monthly basis, as credits on your Account Statement.
7. Use of Personal Information
Loop may exchange Program and Account related information about you with other parties, such as participating partners, merchants or service providers, as required to administer the Program. All personal information will be collected, used, disclosed or otherwise treated in accordance with the Loop Privacy Policy.
8. Tax
Any federal and/or provincial tax liability and reporting obligations for any taxes (including but not limited to personal and business income tax reporting) arising from the accrual of Rewards is your responsibility. You release Loop from all liabilities in this regard and acknowledge that Loop will not issue tax receipts.
9. Amendments
Subject to applicable law, we may make changes to the Program and these Terms and Conditions as they apply to you, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without giving you notice. These changes may include, but are not limited to:
10. Termination of Program
We reserve the right to terminate the Program, in whole or in part, at any time on 30 days’ prior written notice. If the Program is ever terminated, any Rewards in your Loop Rewards Account will be applied towards your Account Statement balance.
11. Disqualification
You may be disqualified from participating in the Program if at any time: (a) any of your payments you owe to Loop or an affiliate thereof (whether under these terms and conditions, the Loop Card-based Credit Facility Terms and Conditions or otherwise) are past due, (b) any prior payments were late, (c) there is any abuse of the Program’s privileges or failure to follow it terms, (d) there is a breach of policies or other agreements with Loop, (e) misrepresentation or (f) an attempt to otherwise game or misuse the Program. Where we determine, in our sole discretion, that you no longer satisfy the requirements for participation in the Program, we may disqualify you and you may lose any Rewards or points that you may have accrued.
In the event of a (a) payment failure, (b) delinquency, (c) suspension, or (d) termination of your Loop Account, your accrued Rewards or points may be forfeited, and we may freeze your ability to redeem Rewards. We may refuse any request to use Rewards or points, or terminate your participation in the Program if your Loop Account is not in good standing, if any payments are past due, if your Loop Account has been terminated, or if you have otherwise breached any of your obligations under the Agreement. You lose all accrued Rewards or points when your account is terminated, either by you or us. In the event that your Loop Account is delinquent, you do not accrue Rewards or points.
12. Miscellaneous
Rewards do not expire as long as your Account remains open. Loop Rewards can only be redeemed if your Account is in good standing.
Any abuse of the Program’s privileges, failure to follow its terms, or misrepresentation may result in Loop ending your participation in the Program and such termination may result in the loss of accumulated Rewards. From time to time it may be necessary for Loop to restrict, suspend or otherwise alter aspects of the Program, with or without notice to you.
Rewards are not refundable, exchangeable, and have no cash value. Rewards may not be resold, pledged or hypothecated in any way. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be provided under these Terms and Conditions will be provided in the manner set forth in the Loop Card-based Credit Facility Terms and Conditions.
