RIDER A: SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS FOR SAVINGS AND REWARDS PROGRAM
Last Updated: June 28, 2023
The TravelBank Rewards Program allows Company User to establish a rewards program whereby reward points (“Reward Points”) can be earned through use of the Services based upon the identified incentives (“Incentives”). Reward Points may be redeemed by a Rewards Program Participant (defined below) or returned to the Company User, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in separate terms provided to each Rewards Program Participant. These Supplemental Terms (the “Rewards Program Terms”) govern the establishment of functioning of the Rewards Program and are incorporated into the TOS Agreement.
-
- Eligibility.
a) Company Participation. Company User may participate in the TravelBank Rewards Program, and enable its Employees to participate, by entering into an order form, executed by both TravelBank and Company User. Company User may withdraw from the Rewards Program at any time through providing 30 days’ written notice to TravelBank.
b) Rewards Program Participant. To be eligible to participate in Company User’s TravelBank Rewards Program, an Employee must meet all of the following criteria: (a) be of the age of majority; (b) agree to and abide by the End User Terms of Use (including the Supplement Terms for Rewards Program); (c) reside in a jurisdiction that legally permits participation in the Rewards Program; (d) not be a resident of a country subject to an embargo or designated as state sponsors of terrorism or otherwise embargoed by the United States government. Each Employee meeting the foregoing criteria is a “Rewards Program Participant; and (e) be duly employed or otherwise duly associated with Company User in accordance with the requirements of Company User to maintain eligibility to accumulate and redeem Reward Points. - Enrollment. For each TravelBank Company Network participating in the TravelBank Rewards Program, a Manager must provide TravelBank with a valid and updated Authorization for Direct Payment via ACH (ACH DEBIT) for Company User; at TravelBank’s discretion, a valid and updated credit card information may also be used (each a “Selected Payment Method”). Company User authorizes TravelBank to use the Selected Payment Method(s) to offset the costs of the Reward Points. Company User is responsible for maintaining complete and accurate information regarding the Selected Payment Method(s).
- Earning Reward Points.
a. Rewards Program Process. Company User, in conjunction with TravelBank, determines the Incentives to be used in determining the accrual of Reward Points. A Rewards Program Participant must perform the specific requirements set forth in the Incentive that is identified through the Services. For example, a Rewards Program Participant’s account may be awarded Reward Points if his or her final expenses associated with a particular approved trip are less than the budget created by the Employee for the trip through the Budget Creator and approved by her Manager through the TravelBank Company Network (“Budget”). A Rewards Program Participant may also earn Reward Points after fulfilling other specific actions, which will be communicated to the Rewards Program Participant by TravelBank. Each Incentive may have terms and conditions, restrictions or requirements that are specific to it and all such terms, restrictions and requirements must be met to earn the designated Reward Points.
b. Tracking Reward Points. Awarded Reward Points can be tracked through the Rewards Program Participant’s account. - Redeeming Points.
a. Redemption Only Through the Rewards Center. Reward Points may be redeemed only for products and services available through the TravelBank Reward Center made available through the Services (the “Rewards Center”). A Rewards Program Participant must follow the established redemption procedures. Reward Points are subtracted from an account upon redemption.
b. Reward Points are not Vested. A Rewards Program Participant may redeem the Reward Points allocated to them. Reward Points may NOT be sold, exchanged, bartered, transferred, or given away. The value of Reward Points may vary according to how a Rewards Program Participant choses to use them. Accumulated points belong to Company User and are not the property of the Rewards Program Participant. The accumulation of Reward Points in an account does not entitle a Rewards Program Participant to any vested rights with respect to the Rewards Program or the Reward Points. Company User has the right at any time to terminate its Rewards Program and request a refund for any unredeemed Reward Points.
c. Third Party Terms. When Reward Points are redeemed for products and services offered by third parties (e.g., flights offered by airlines, hotel accommodations), all products or services purchased through the redemption of Reward Points are governed by such third-party terms. TravelBank has no liability for the acts or omissions of any third party, including third parties whose products and services are made available through the TravelBank Store. - Termination of Reward Points on Inactive Accounts (12 MONTHS). Accrued Reward Points will be forfeited without notice on the last day of the twelfth (12) month after the last activity on an Account, or if an Account is cancelled. An Account is deemed inactive if there has been no Reward Point accrual or redemption within 12 months.
- Termination and Suspension of a Rewards Program Participant. Company User and TravelBank reserve the right at any time to limit enrollment in the Rewards Program or discontinue participation in the Rewards Program for any Rewards Program Participant. Company User or TravelBank may void or cancel a Rewards Program Participant’s entire Reward Point balance at their discretion, for any reason, including if any Reward Points in an account are issued, received, or redeemed through fraud or theft, or otherwise illegally, or not as authorized in these Rewards Program Terms. These rights are in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy which may be available to Company User or TravelBank under applicable law. At any time if Reward Program Participant is no longer deemed eligible for participation in the Rewards Program by the Company User including, but not limited to, a change in employment status, all Reward Points shall be deemed forfeited. All Reward Points are deemed forfeited when the Services are terminated.
- Suspension, Modification and Termination of the Rewards Program.
a. Right to Suspend, Modify or Terminate. TravelBank reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, modify or terminate the Rewards Program, in whole or in part; to add, delete or change available Reward Points or Incentives; to modify, limit or suspend the use of or redemption of Reward Points or the availability of Incentives in any respect; to modify or change redemption procedures; to modify, limit or suspend the collection of Reward Points, including but not limited to imposing time limits and changes in Reward Point values. TravelBank may make these changes even though the changes may affect the value of Reward Points already accumulated at any time and from time to time.
b. Notice of Modification of the Rewards Program. If TravelBank makes changes that it believes will have a material impact on Company User’s or a Rewards Program Participant’s use of the Rewards Program, TravelBank will notify Company User and the Rewards Program Participant by sending an email to the current email addresses on file, and by noting on the Services that the Rewards Program Terms have been updated. The effective date of any change in these Rewards Program Terms will be the date specified in the notice. If you (or a Rewards Program Participant) disagree with the changes to these Rewards Program Terms, you may opt out of the Rewards Program by terminating these Rewards Program Terms by providing written notice to TravelBank. Company User’s ongoing use of the Rewards Program after the changes take effect signifies your agreement to the new terms. - Specific Terms
a. Compliance with Laws. Company User and each Rewards Program Participant must comply at all times with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the Rewards Program and the granting and use of the Reward Points.
b. Tax Liability. The receipt or redemption of Reward Points may be subject to tax liability. Any tax liability, including reporting of tax liability to the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities, with respect to the receipt or use of Reward Points is solely Company User’s responsibility. TravelBank reserves the right to report the receipt or redemption of Reward Points to the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.

Expedia Partner Solutions terms and conditions apply and are available at: http://developer.ean.com/terms/en/. If the Supplier’s Terms and Conditions are ever in conflict with the Travel Reservations Terms (or TOS) of TravelBank, TravelBank’s TOS Agreement, including this Rider, will control all issues relating to the liabilities and responsibilities of TravelBank

- “Travel Reservations Program” is an additional component of TravelBank’s Services. TravelBank Users may secure Travel Services via the TravelBank App or agents.

- “Traveler”is any User of the TravelBank App who subsequently books a reservation for Travel Services.
- Travel Service Supplier (“Suppliers”) are any third-party providers of Travel Services.
- Modification of Our Travel Reservations Terms. Our Travel Reservations Terms may be amended or modified by us at any time, without notice, on the understanding that such changes will not apply to Trips booked prior to the amendment or modification. It is therefore essential that you consult and accept our Travel Reservations Terms at the time of making a booking, particularly in order to determine which provisions are in operation at that time in case they have changed since the last time you placed an order with TravelBank or reviewed our Travel Reservations Terms.
- Prices and Surcharges.
- Only items and fees explicitly advertised as included in the price of a Travel Service will be included as part of Travel Service’s advertised price. We use commercially reasonable endeavors to publish and maintain accurate prices and information for our services via the TravelBank App and through our agents. Suppliers provide us with the price, availability and other information related to these Services. In the event, however, that a Service is listed or provided to us at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or other error in pricing or service information received from a Travel Service Supplier, we retain the right to refuse or cancel any Reservation placed for such Travel Service, whether or not the order has been confirmed and/or your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your Reservation is canceled because of incorrect hotel, airline, or car provider information, we will promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.
- We expressly reserve the right to correct any pricing errors on our App and/or on pending reservations made under an incorrect price. In such event, if available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservation at the correct price or we will cancel your reservation without penalty.
- Our prices are contractual tariffs. No claim relating to the price of a Trip will be considered once the reservation is effective. All prices are quoted in US dollars (USD) unless otherwise denoted. Rates for Travel Services are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time of posting and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates, the price of fuel, Services and labor sometimes increase the cost of Travel Service arrangements significantly.
- Cancellation, Substitution, and Alteration Policies.
-
- Cancellations or Modifications attributable to Traveler: Cancellation, substitution, and/or alteration terms vary by Supplier. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the terms of your Supplier prior to purchase, so we urge you to read them carefully.
- Cancellations and/or Alterations not attributable to Traveler: Due to Force Majeure or supplier requests, changes and/or cancellations may need to be made to confirmed bookings. While we always endeavor to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do soand to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value. TravelBank reserves the right to adjust the Travel Service or change the modes of ground and air travel, change the quality of accommodations or otherwise change the Travel Service without prior notice. We accept no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes. Any additional charges incurred arising from the postponement, delay or extension of a Trip or adjustment to the itinerary due to Force Majeure will be the Traveler’s responsibility. TravelBank will attempt to provide Traveler advanced notice of any changes to a Trip or Services to the extent commercially possible.
5. Issuing Travel Documents.Travel documents will only be sent to the purchasing Traveler who places the order and personally agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Should you change your email address, phone number, or address before your departure date, you are required to advise us of the change. If a Traveler provides incorrect information to TravelBank, we do not assume any liability if the Trip is adversely affected or made impossible by the non-receipt of travel documents.
6. Travelers with Special Needs or Disabilities. If you have special needs (e.g., wheelchair accessible room, traveling with seeing eye dog, etc.) you must call all relevant Suppliers for your Trip ahead of time and verify that special needs can be met. Depending on their terms and conditions, your reservation may be refunded, canceled or modified if special handicapped needs cannot be met. TravelBank make no guarantee as to the ability of any Travel Supplier to meet the special needs of disabled clients.
7. Insurance. Should you have to cancel your Trip because of illness, injury or death to you or an immediate family member, depending on the type of coverage purchased, Trip cancellation insurance may protect some or all deposits and payments for both air and Trip costs. Trip cancellation and interruption penalties can be significant. Purchasing Trip cancellation insurance at a much later date may limit some of the coverage as to pre-existing or other conditions. It is Traveler’s responsibility to understand the limitations of their insurance coverage and purchase additional insurance as needed. It is the Traveler’s sole responsibility to research, evaluate and purchase appropriate coverage. Traveler agrees that TravelBank is not responsible for any uninsured losses.
8. Passports, Visas, Reciprocity Fees, and Travel Health Requirements. It is Traveler’s sole responsibility to verify they have all the necessary visas, transit visas, passport, and vaccinations prior to travel and paid any required reciprocity fees for their destination.

Airlines retain the right to adjust flight times and schedules at any time, and these changes may include a change in the airline you fly, your aircraft type or destination. Such alterations do not constitute a significant change to your Trip Itinerary. If an airline cancels or delays a flight, you should work with the airline to ensure you arrive at your destination on or ahead of time. TravelBank will not provide any refund for Trips missed, in part or full, due to missed, cancelled or delayed flights, or other flight irregularities including, without limitation, denied boarding whether or not you are responsible for such denial. Airline flights may be overbooked. A person denied boarding on a flight may be entitled to a compensatory payment or other benefits from the airline. The rules for denied boarding are available at all ticket counters in your Contract of Carriage. The airline fulfilling your reservation may change from the airline displayed on our website.
- Flight Times: The flight times given by TravelBank are for general guidance only and are subject to change. Up-to-date flight times will be shown on the tickets. Traveler must check the tickets very carefully immediately upon receipt of the latest timings.
- Failure to Check-in on the outward journey (on a charter or scheduled flight) will automatically result in cancellation of the return flight by the airline. We would encourage you to contact us on the date of departure if you wish us to keep the return flight open; this decision remains at the discretion of the airline company.
- Flight Connections: If any booked flight connecting with your outbound or inbound flight is cancelled or delayed, the airlines reserve the right to provide that transport by any other means (coach/bus, train, etc.). If you organize your own connecting transport with the arrangements booked with TravelBank, we would advise that you reserve flexible or refundable tickets in order to avoid the risk of any financial loss. You are also advised not to make any important appointments for the day following your return date. TravelBank cannot accept responsibility for the consequences of delays (such as a cancelled scheduled flight) in the context of connecting transport organized by you.
- Non-Use of Flight Segments: You agree not to purchase a ticket or tickets containing flight segments that you will not be using, such as a “point-beyond”, “hidden-city”, or “back-to-back tickets”. You further agree not to purchase a round-trip ticket that you plan to use only for one-way travel. You acknowledge that the airlines generally prohibit all such tickets, and therefore we do not guarantee that the airline will honor your ticket or tickets. You agree to indemnify TravelBank against any airline claims for the difference between the full fare of your actual itinerary and the value of the ticket or tickets that you purchased.
- Luggage: TravelBank assumes no liability for any loss or damage to baggage or personal effects, whether in transit to or from a Trip, or during a Trip. The airline is liable to you for the baggage you entrust to it only for the compensation contemplated in the international conventions and relevant statutes. In the event of damage, late forwarding, theft or loss of luggage, you should contact the your airline and declare the damage, absence or loss of your personal effects before leaving the airport, and then submit a declaration, attaching the originals of the following documents: the travel ticket, the baggage check-in slip, and the declaration. It is recommended that you take out an insurance policy covering the value of your items.
- Additional and oversized baggage fees: Most airlines have their own policy regarding luggage. We recommend that you check with your airline ahead of time for any weight restrictions and additional charges relating to checked baggage. You will be responsible for paying to the airline any additional charges for checked or overweight baggage, including, but not limited to, golf bags and oversized luggage. If you exceed the weight limit set by your airline, and excess weight is permitted, you must pay a supplement directly to the airline at the airport.
- Carriage of Hazardous Material: Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years’ imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more. Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person.
- Pregnancy: Different airlines have their own restrictions on when pregnant woman may fly on their plane, which can range from prohibiting flying anywhere from 7 to 30 days by the due date. It is your responsibility to check the restrictions of your particular airline. If you are denied boarding, TravelBank will not be responsible for any resulting cancellation fees and charges.
- Stop-Overs: Direct flights may be “non-stop” or may involve one or more stop-overs (in the latter case this means the same flight by the airline, because the flight number remains the same). The same applies to connecting flights that may be subject to crew changes. When you reserve a scheduled or charter flight involving a stop-over in a town, and the second flight takes off from a different airport to the airport of arrival, ensure that you have sufficient time for reaching the second airport. The journey to the other airport is at your own expense. TravelBank will not be able to reimburse you for these costs, nor will it be liable if you miss the second flight.
- Issuance of e-tickets: As of June 1st, 2008, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has imposed new rules with regard to the issuing of air travel tickets. As of that date, travel agencies and airlines have an obligation to only issue travel tickets via electronic means (i.e. electronic ticket or “e-ticket”). Due to technical constraints to do with airline’s restrictions in relation to certain requirements (infants under the age of 2, inter-airline agreements, groups, etc.), it may be impossible to issue an electronic ticket. Therefore, though a flight may be shown as available, it might prove impossible for us to honor your reservation.This situation, which is outside our control, will not result in liability on our part. If we cannot issue you an e-ticket, we will contact you to propose an alternative route solution. This could involve a different tariff and/or additional costs for which you would be responsible. In the event of the absence of an alternative solution, your refusal to pay any tariff difference, or if the issuance of tickets proves impossible, we would be forced to cancel your reservation at no cost to you. We will provide you with a full refund within 30 days after determining that there is no alternative solution possible.

RIDER C: SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS FOR EXPENSE MANAGEMENT
Last Updated: May 1, 2025
The TravelBank Expense Management allows enrolled Companies and its employees to use the Application to track and submit business expenses for review and approval. Companies may also elect to use TravelBank’s “Reimbursement” feature.
These Supplemental Terms (the “Expense Management Terms”) governing the expense management and reimbursement software and services from TravelBank are incorporated into the TravelBank Terms of Service (the “TOS Agreement”). All terms not defined below have the meaning provided to them in the TOS Agreement.
- Description of Reimbursement Feature. TravelBank’s Reimbursement feature is operated in conjunction with TravelBank’s affiliate, U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank”) to allow for the transfer of funds from Company User to its employees (such funds transfer services, the “U.S. Bank Services”). Reimbursement transactions must be submitted through the TravelBank Application cannot be requested directly to U.S. Bank. When you provide payment instructions through TravelBank’s Application, you authorize TravelBank to send instructions to U.S. Bank to complete your payment transaction. Upon receipt of such an instruction in the Application, TravelBank will initiate and send payment instructions to U.S. Bank, which U.S. Bank will use to transfer funds to complete a requested payment (“payment transaction”). Company User authorizes TravelBank to share any information Company User provides TravelBank with U.S. Bank and other third parties as necessary to complete your requested Reimbursement transaction, in accordance with TravelBank’s Privacy Policy.If you have linked an account through TravelBank’s Application or otherwise authorized TravelBank to debit funds from an account (“funding account”), you also authorize U.S. Bank to debit such funding account to fund the payment instructions. You are solely responsible for complying with any terms established by the financial institution providing your funding account (e.g., insufficient funds or overdraft fees).Reimbursement requests initiated through the TravelBank Application that are completed using U.S. Bank Services are processed and disbursed by U.S. Bank (a national bank), and not TravelBank. TravelBank does not hold, receive, store, or send funds in connection with transactions that U.S. Bank completes, or otherwise complete money transfer or payment services, and is not a money transmitter. You appoint TravelBank as your agent for receiving banking information from U.S. Bank, submitting payment instructions to U.S. Bank, and authorizing U.S. Bank to debit your funding account. You agree not to assert any claim against U.S. Bank for any action it takes as a result of instructions, including payment instructions, provided by TravelBank on your behalf. You agree that U.S. Bank’s records shall be a true and accurate record of transactions submitted on your behalf.
- Company User Obligations to U.S. Bank. Company User agrees to provide any information or documentation requested by U.S. Bank for onboarding on continued due diligence purposes. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions (including U.S. Bank) to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. This means TravelBank will ask for certain information and identifying documents to allow U.S. Bank to identify Company User. Company User and its representative(s) authorize U.S. Bank prior to delivery of the Reimbursement services and from time to time thereafter, to investigate the individual and business history and background of Company User, each such representative and any other officers, partners, proprietors, and/or owners of Company User, and to obtain credit reports or other background investigation reports on each of them that U.S. Bank considers necessary to review the acceptance and continuation of the Reimbursement services. Company User also authorizes any person or credit reporting agency to compile information to answer those credit inquiries and to furnish that information to U.S. Bank.
- Disclaimer of U.S. Bank. U.S. Bank is not responsible for TravelBank’s Application, website, platform or any other services that TravelBank offers, or fulfillment of TravelBank’s obligations under those services. Company User is responsible for any reversed or failed transactions, fees, claims, fines, penalties, and other liabilities in connection with use of TravelBank’s Reimbursement services, including use of U.S. Bank Services. You agree to reimburse TravelBank for any liability in connection with a payment transaction that is reversed in accordance with TravelBank’s and/or U.S. Bank’s policies, applicable laws, your error or any other provision of inaccurate information, cancelation or rejection by you, the recipient, sender, or their financial institution.TravelBank, not U.S. Bank, is responsible for providing Company User instructions on how to handle any disputes over unauthorized transactions or errors involving payment instructions or transactions initiated through TravelBank’s Application.Company User agrees that Company User is ultimately responsible for payment instructions submitted to U.S. Bank on your behalf. If U.S. Bank processes a payment instruction which creates an overdraft in your funding ccount (or subaccount), Company User agrees to reimburse U.S. Bank for the overdraft. Company User further agree that U.S. Bank shall be a third-party beneficiary of your agreement with Company for the purposes of enforcing this provision.
- Requirements for Enablement of Reimbursements. For TravelBank to enable the Reimbursement feature, Company User understands and agrees to the following:
- TravelBank shall process all reimbursements via the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) network or other payment network selected by TravelBank; and
- Prior to enabling Reimbursements, an authorized Company Administrator shall establish access for TravelBank to the Company’s “Financial Institution” via the Application; and
- Company User shall at all times ensure maintain access to a verifiable, reputable Financial Institution with the appropriate, secured processes to enable withdrawal and delivery of monies to TravelBank; and
- Company User shall be responsible for ensuring its employees who desire to receive their reimbursements via TravelBank have established a proper connection to a bank account that is capable of receiving monies via ACH deposit or other payment network selected by TravelBank; and
- From time to time, the ACH or other settlement process between financial institutions may be delayed or disrupted due to no fault of TravelBank’s; and
- Company User represents that any expense reimbursement paid to Company User’s Employee(s) using the TravelBank Properties is done so through an accountable plan, as described by Treas. Reg. § 1.62-2(c). If the reimbursements paid by Company User to the Individual User(s) of the TravelBank Company Network using TravelBank Properties withholdings are not done so through an accountable plan as described by Treas. Reg. § 1.62-2(c), Company User agrees to withhold and remit all necessary federal, state and local tax and file all associated information returns with the respective tax authority. Company User acknowledges and agrees that TravelBank, its affiliates, and employees do not provide tax advice to it, Individual Users, or any Other Users. Please contact a tax advisor for any such advice.
- Company User authorizes and grants TravelBank (and U.S. Bank) access to Company User’s Financial Institution for the limited purpose of making withdrawals and transfers as appropriate or necessary in fulfill the Reimbursement services.
- Company User Obligations. Use of Reimbursements obliges the Company User to warrant the following:
- Sufficiency of Funds. Company User it will ensure that it has immediately available funds in its Financial Institution to cover its Reimbursement obligations at all times during the term of this Agreement and until all due monies to its employees are fully reimbursed.
- Reserve Fund. TravelBank reserves the right to require and verify that sufficient, immediately available funds be in Company’s Financial Institution prior to processing any reimbursements. If balances in the Financial Institution are insufficient to cover the aggregate amount of reimbursement requests, TravelBank shall have no obligation to complete the reimbursements. Further, Company User agrees that any resulting fees due to the insufficiency of funds imposed by the Financial Institution shall be the sole responsibility of Company User.
- Adherence to Regulations. Company User agrees that it will not use the U.S. Bank Services or generate transactions that violate applicable law, including the laws or regulations of the United States, or of any other country which has jurisdiction over Company User. This includes, but is not limited to, sanction laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). Company User can obtain information regarding such OFAC enforced sanctions from the OFAC’s home page site at ustreas.gov/ofac.
- Adherence to Company Policies. It is the sole responsibility of Company User to ensure that any employee-submitted requests for reimbursements are reviewed and approved in accordance with Company’s internal accounting guidelines and workflows. Company User expressly releases TravelBank from all responsibilities and liabilities to review Company-approved reimbursement requests from improper, inappropriate or illegal use of Company funds. TravelBank is also not liable for any duplicate, fraudulent or improper transactions. If TravelBank identifies questionable reimbursement requests, it shall remit all known information to the Company Administrator, who shall be responsible for conducting internal investigations and audit. TravelBank will make every effort to support Company’s internal reviews and audits to the extent allowed by all privacy and security law.

- In the event there is an issue with any transaction processing, TravelBank will notify Company User and/or impacted employees in a timely fashion so the issues can be rectified.
- TravelBank’s Reserved Rights.
- Adherence to Law. TravelBank shall be permitted to direct U.S. Bank to retain any reimbursement payments for up to three (3) business days prior to transmitting such payments to the appropriate party or account. This will only be done in the event that TravelBank has reasonable suspicion to believe such payments may be fraudulent or otherwise raise legal or regulatory concerns, or compliance concerns. In the event a recognized federal or other authority requests TravelBank or U.S. Bank to withhold funds due to further investigation, TravelBank and U.S. Bank are obliged to comply; however, Company Administrator will be informed.
- Incomplete or Delayed Reimbursement. Company User acknowledges that if U.S. Bank does not successfully receive the necessary funds from Company’s Financial Institution through no fault of TravelBank or U.S. Bank, neither shall not be required to complete the reimbursement to the employee until the full amount of the requested reimbursement funds are received by U.S. Bank. This shall not be deemed a material failure or breach on TravelBank’s or U.S. Bank’s part.
- Reimbursement Timeframes. Company User understands that “next-day” reimbursements refers to “next business day” and TravelBank is not responsible for any delays due to the processing from the financial institutions. In the case that a Company User’s Financial Institution does not have adequate funds for next-day reimbursement, TravelBank reserves the right to pursue available options including, but not limited to: a) requesting a Reserve Fund to be in place; b) disabling “next-day reimbursement” for the Company User; c) imposing a limit on the amount of funds that are eligible for “next-day reimbursement.”
- Fees. Company User understands TravelBank reserves the right to debit directly from the Financial Institution any due fees for TravelBank’s services (“Program Fees”). Further, TravelBank may change its fees from time to time upon written notice to Company. However, if Company User has a direct commercial agreement with TravelBank, those terms shall control until the agreement is terminated or expired.
- Payment of Program Fees. TravelBank may request that Company User pay the applicable Program Fee using either ACH or a credit card. In such a case, Company User agrees to provide TravelBank with: (a) a valid and updated Authorization for Direct Payment via ACH (ACH DEBIT) for the TravelBank Company Network, and/or (b) credit card. (“Selected Payment Method(s)”). Company User authorizes TravelBank to use its Selected Payment Method(s) to pay the applicable Program Fee. Company User is responsible for maintaining complete and accurate information regarding its Selected Payment Method(s).
- Fund Transfer Methods. TravelBank intends to provide the Reimbursement services through ACH transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TravelBank reserves the right to select another funds transfer method such as Real Time Payments or FedNow Payments.
For ACH payments, Company User agrees (i) it is the Originator (as defined by the Nacha Operating Rules) of any ACH payments initiated using the ACH payment network, (ii) the Nacha Operating Rules govern such payments, and (iii) it will comply with the Nacha Operating Rules. TravelBank has established cutoff times for receiving payment instructions, and you understand that TravelBank cannot guarantee any specific time in which ACH transactions initiated through Company User’s TravelBank account will be completed. For questions regarding ACH transactions, please contact support@travelbank.com.
For Real Time Payments and FedNow Payments, Company User represents and warrants that each payment instruction it submits is made in accordance with the applicable payment system rules established by The Clearing House or the Federal Reserve Bank. Company User may not send RTP transactions (i) that exceed the limits provided in the applicable payment system rules, or (ii) to any account not located within the United States. Before sending TravelBank any Request for Payment (RfP) using the RTP Network, Company User agrees that it must enter into an agreement with the receiver of the RfP in which they authorize Company User to send the RfP, and that the RfP is for a legitimate business purpose and does not violate any applicable law. Company User further agrees to provide data regarding the RfP to TravelBank upon request.
- Abandoned Property. If Company User has the option of loading funds into it TravelBank account, and Company User decides to use this option, the underlying funds in the TravelBank account are held in a pooled or custodial account with U.S. Bank. If Company User’s TravelBank account is inactive for a certain period (under U.S. state laws, typically after three to five years), U.S. state or other applicable law may require that those funds be deemed abandoned. If funds are not claimed through notification procedures under state law, TravelBank policy or other applicable procedure, U.S. Bank may be required to remit them to the appropriate governmental authority (under U.S. law, typically the state where the owner of the funds resides). If we do not have sufficient owner address information, U.S. Bank will remit to the Delaware Department of Finance.
