CARD APPLICATION PROCESSING

Any individual or corporate body may apply for the issuance of the Card through any I&M Bank Branch or the Bank’s appointed Agent.

The issuance of the Card is subject to compliance by the applicant of the provisions of applicable laws, rules, regulations and directions as issued by the Central Bank of Rwanda or other appropriate authority under any law in force from time to time. I&M Bank may, at its sole and absolute discretion, refuse issuance of a Card or cancel an issued Card without notice, if satisfactory know-your-customer and money laundering guidelines are not met or if it has reason or suspicion to believe that the Cardholder has violated or intends to violate any exchange regulations or uses.

The applicant for the Card will be required to complete and submit a duly signed application form as required by I&M Bank from time to time and further, to submit all such documents as may be necessary or required.

The validity period of the Card shall be 5 years from the date of manufacture. Subject to all the conditions being satisfied, the Card shall be activated within a period of 48 hours of receipt of monies and other requisite documents from the Cardholder.

Upon purchase of the Card, the Cardholder can request any I&M Bank branch or Agent to load a certain amount of Funds (subject to restrictions on minimum and maximum amount loadable, as determined by I&M Bank at its sole discretion from time to time). Upon issuance of the Card, the Cardholder shall sign on the reverse of the Card.

The Card, as may be issued by I&M Bank to an applicant, is the property of I&M Bank and is not transferable and will be honoured at merchant establishments only when the Card bears the signature of the Cardholder on the reverse and upon presentment to a Merchant Partner by the Cardholder.
