What this Agreement Covers

This Agreement outlines the terms that apply to an RBC VISA Prepaid Mydoh Smart Cash Card (the “Card”) issued by Royal Bank of Canada. It also tells you what your rights and duties are as the Funder of the Card, as a Co-Funder or the Holder and what the duties of Royal Bank of Canada are as the Card issuer.

We have also prepared “Frequently Asked Questions” (“FAQs”) that contain important information about the use of your Card. You can view these FAQs by visiting www.mydoh.ca/faq or by signing in to the Mydoh app and going to Settings -> Help -> Visit our Help Centre

If you are the Funder or Co-Funder loading funds on the Card, and if you are the Holder of the Card your receipt or use of a Card, means that you have received and read this Agreement and the FAQs and agreed to all of these terms. If you are the Funder, you agree to these terms both in your own capacity and on behalf of each Holder to whom you send funds. This Agreement takes effect on the date that you have clicked to accept the terms of the Agreement.

In order to purchase or use the Card, we must provide, and you must review the Card Fees and Important Information pertaining to prepaid cards that is provided in this Agreement (“Disclosures”). As your Card is a digital card you purchase or use with a mobile device, computer or other device (“Device”), we will provide you with the Disclosures in electronic form provided that you consent to receive them in electronic form.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CARD

Card Issuer: Your Card is issued by Royal Bank of Canada

Information, Card Balance: For questions about this Agreement or your Card, including your Card balance, sign in to the Mydoh app or call toll-free at 1- 888-696-9364 within Canada or the United States. To check your Card balance, sign in to the Mydoh app and view your balance on the app header at the top of every screen. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.

No CDIC Insurance: Your Card balance is not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Card Restrictions: Your Card is a digital card which means that it can be used at retailers that accept Visa contactless (tap) payments with your mobile device. Transaction limits for in-person tap purchases are typically limited to $100 per transaction. These limits may not apply when your Card is used to pay online and by telephone with retailers who accept these payments. Your Card can’t be used at retailers that accept Visa cards but do not accept contactless (tap) point of sale payments. It also cannot be used to make any type of cash withdrawal such as from an ATM or in person at a financial institution. You can make a purchase that is greater than the balance on your card if the retailer allows split payments. Retailers won’t be able to check the balance of your Card, so you’ll need to verify your balance in the Mydoh app or by calling toll-free at 1-888-696-9364 in Canada or the United States and advise the merchant in advance that you will be splitting the payment. You will need to tell the merchant the amount that you would like to have paid with your Card. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Funder and Co-Funder can only use their Card to hold funds loaded into their Mydoh App or fund transfers to associated Holders.

No Funds Expiry: Your right to use the funds that are loaded on the Card will not expire but your Card expires at the end of the month associated with your Card. The remaining balance on your original Card will be placed on your new Card at no additional cost. If you are only a Holder and not a Funder or Co-Funder, you can check the expiry date by selecting “Wallet” on the footer and tapping the card and providing your password.

Card Customization: You can customize your Card by selecting the Card customization option. This option allows you to create a custom design for your Card by uploading photos from your Device or selecting an image from the Mydoh App’s gallery. If you upload a photograph of you or another individual, it will be handled in accordance with the “Protecting Your Privacy” section. If you select to customize your Card, additional fees will apply, as described below, each time a customized Card is generated including for any replacement customized Cards. You represent and warrant that you have all rights in and to the photos and/or images uploaded from your Device to customize your Card. We reserve the right to reject a custom design in our sole discretion.

Card Fees: The following fees apply to your Card:

Card Customization Fee – A fee of $6.99 per Card applies if you chose to get a custom design for your Card. The Card customization fee is charged at the time of order for each customized Card and for any replacement Customized Card. Customized Cards are optional. Standard Cards are provided at no cost.

Foreign Currency Conversion – Transactions in a foreign currency will be converted into Canadian dollars no later than the date Royal Bank posts the transaction to the Card at an exchange rate that is 2.5% over a benchmark rate Royal Bank of Canada pays the payment card network that is in effect on the date of conversion.

Information about fees that apply to your Card, as set out in the information box above, is also available by calling toll-free at 1-888-696-9364 within Canada or the United States. However, fees may change. If they do, Royal Bank will tell you in advance as described below under “Amending or Cancelling this Agreement”.

What happens if my Card or Device gets compromised, stolen or misused?

You must contact Royal Bank immediately:

if your Card or Device, a Card you funded, or a Device with a Card you funded is compromised, stolen or misused; or
if you suspect that someone else, without your authorization, is using your Card or your Card number or a Card you funded or the Card number of a Card you funded.

Once you have told Royal Bank that the Card or Device has been lost, stolen or misused, Royal Bank will be able to prevent use of the Card and the Card number.
