- Sending Liquid Cash
- Sending Limits
We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount of transactions you conduct through the IYap Liquid Cash Services. Please see our Fee Sheet for more details on limits. If we have authenticated your identity, we may increase your transaction limits. These limits may change from time to time in Company’s sole discretion. You may not send Liquid Cash to your own account.
- Default Load Sources
Your IYap Liquid Cash balance consists of the digital credits you have in your IYap Liquid Cash account that are available for new transactions and are not subject to pending transactions.
When you make a payment through the IYap Liquid Cash Services, we first see if your IYap Liquid Cash balance can cover the transaction. You may also be able to fund your Liquid Cash with a bank account, debit card or credit card, designating one of these to be your primary funding source.
We always use your IYap Liquid Cash balance first if the balance is sufficient to cover your payment. If there is not enough Liquid Cash available in your IYap Liquid Cash balance to cover the transaction, we use your designated primary funding source to make the payment in its entirety. This funding source may differ depending on the type of payment you are making.
If you don’t want to use your balance, you can withdraw it at any time. If your balance is not used within 30 days we may remind you to withdraw funds or return the funds to your attached bank account.
iii. Funding Source Limitations
In order to manage risk, Company may limit the funding sources available for your use to fund any particular transaction. For example, we may limit your funding sources for a particular transaction to debit cards or your checking account.
Please note that the various funding sources have different dispute resolution rights and procedures in the event your transaction turns out to be unsatisfactory. Your dispute resolution rights are determined by the funding source used to fund your transaction. Please see our FAQ Help Center for more details
- Bank Transfers
When your checking account is used as your funding source, you are requesting that we initiate on your behalf an electronic transfer from your bank account. For these transactions, Company will make electronic transfers (via the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) of NACHA – The Electronic Payment Association (“NACHA”)) from your bank account in the amount you specify. You agree that such requests constitute your authorization to Company to make the ACH transfer, and once you have provided your authorization for the transfer, you will not be able to cancel the electronic transfer and Company may resubmit any ACH debit you authorized that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, except as otherwise provided by NACHA’s ACH rules (collectively, the “ACH Rules”), or applicable law.
ACH Authorization for Transactions:
Single Transaction Authorization: “I authorize iYap Liquid Cash to debit the account indicated for the amount noted on today’s date. I will not dispute iYap Liquid Cash debiting my account, so long as the transaction corresponds to the terms in this online form and my agreement with iYap Liquid Cash.”
ACH Recurring Transaction Authorizations: “I authorize iYap Liquid Cash to debit the account indicated for the recurring transactions according to the online form and my agreement with iYap Liquid Cash. I will not dispute iYap Liquid Cash so long as the transactions correspond to such terms. This payment authorization is valid and will remain effective unless I cancel this authorization by emailing iYap Liquid Cash at [email protected] at least 3 business days in advance.”
- Refused and Refunded Transactions
When you send money, the recipient is not required to accept it. You agree that you will not hold Company liable for any damages resulting from a recipient’s decision not to accept a payment made through the IYap Liquid Cash Services.
If a recipient of funds is not a IYap Liquid Cash user and does not register for the IYap Liquid Cash Services, Company will return your funds in 30 days. If the recipient does not register, set up an email address or mobile number and accept the transfer within 30 days, the transaction will be canceled. During this period, a hold will be placed on your account for the amount of the transfer and the applicable fee, if any. Once the recipient has successfully registered as a IYap Liquid Cash user, transfers will automatically be debited from your account and credited in the recipient’s account. We will return any unclaimed, refunded or denied payment within 30 days of the date you initiate payment. If a payment is unclaimed, denied or refunded for any reason, we will return the Liquid Cash to your balance or to the original funding source.
- Debit Card Processing
Company will process your debit card-funded transactions through either the debit card’s ATM debit network or the Visa/MasterCard network, as Company may elect at its discretion.
vii. Credit Card Information
If your credit card account number changes or your credit card expiration date changes, we may acquire that information from our financial services partner and update your account accordingly.
viii. Fees for Sending Liquid Cash
You may use the IYap Liquid Cash Services for a fee. Fees are debited by IYap Liquid Cash balance, bank account, or debit card. Please see here for more information on fees. These fees may change from time to time in Company’s sole discretion. You may be subject to third party fees, such as insufficient fund fees, reversal fees, or ACH insufficient fund fees that a bank may charge if your payment is rejected.
- Payment Investigation
Payment investigation is a process by which Company reviews certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment is subject to payment investigation, Company will place a hold on the payment and may provide notice to the recipient. Company will conduct a review and either clear or cancel the payment. If the payment is cleared, Company will provide notice to the recipient. Otherwise, Company will cancel the payment and the funds will be returned. Company will provide notice to you by email and/or in the account history tab of your IYap Liquid Cash account if the payment is canceled.
- Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims
When you receive a payment, you are liable to Company for the full amount of the payment plus any fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment, plus applicable fees if you lose a claim or a chargeback, or if there is a reversal of the payment. If a sender of a payment later disputes the payment or files a claim for a chargeback, the debit or credit card issuer or the originating bank, not Company, will determine whether the dispute is valid and to whom payment is due. You agree to allow Company to recover any amounts due to Company by debiting your balance. If there are insufficient funds in your balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Company through other means. If Company is unable to recover the funds from your primary funding source, Company may attempt to contact you, Company may recover the funds from your alternate funding sources, or may take other legal actions to collect the amount due, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
- Account Balances
- Balances
You do not need to maintain a balance in your account in order to make payments. If you do hold a balance, Company will hold your funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use your funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes, and will not voluntarily make your funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. While your funds are in our custody, Company will combine your funds with the funds of other users and place those pooled accounts in one or more bank accounts in Company’s name.
Company is not a bank or other chartered depository institution. Funds held by Company or its service providers (including any bank service providers) in connection with the processing of transactions are not deposit obligations and are not insured for the benefit of the user by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Funds held in balance are an ancillary function of enabling Liquid Cash transmission and not for other benefit.
- Assignment of Interest to Company
You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds that Company handles and places in pooled accounts. Company does not typically receive interest on funds held for its users. However, in consideration for your use of the service, you irrevocably transfer and assign to Company any ownership right that you may have in any interest that may accrue on funds held in pooled accounts. This assignment applies only to interest earned on your funds, and nothing in this Agreement grants Company any ownership right to the principal of the funds you maintain with Company.
iii. Negative Balances
If the balance in your account is negative for any reason, Company may set off the negative balance by deducting amounts you owe Company from Liquid Cash you receive into your account, or Liquid Cash you attempt to withdraw or send from your account. You agree to allow Company to recover any amounts due to Company by debiting your balance. If there are insufficient funds in your balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Company through other means. If Company is unable to recover the funds from your primary funding source, Company may attempt to contact you, Company may recover the funds from your alternate funding sources, or may take other legal actions to collect the amount due, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
- Setoff of Past Due Amounts
If you have a negative balance or other past due amount to Company, Company may make attempts on your funding source to cover the amounts. If Company is unable to recover the funds from your primary funding source, Company may attempt to contact you, Company may recover the funds from your alternate funding sources, or may take other legal actions to collect any amounts that are more than 14 days past due, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
- Security Interest
To secure your performance of this Agreement, you hereby grant to Company a lien on and security interest in your account and agree to execute any further documentation to perfect these Company rights.
- Withdrawing Liquid Cash
- How to Withdraw Liquid Cash
You may withdraw Liquid Cash from your IYap Liquid Cash account by electronically transferring them to your iYap Issued Debit Card account.

- Withdrawal Limits
Please see our Help Center here for more details on limits, including any applicable withdrawal limits. We reserve the right to delay withdrawals while we screen for risk, or request you provide additional information to verify your identity and we may limit the amount you can withdraw until the information is verified.
iii. Transfers to Your Linked Financial Institution Accounts

- Limitations on Closing Your Account

If you attempt to close your account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds for up to 180 days to protect Company or a third party against the risk of reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your account even after the account is closed.
- Item Hold
Company, in its sole discretion, may place a hold on a payment you receive for a transaction when Company believes there may be a high level of risk associated with the transaction. If Company places a hold on your payment, it will show as “pending” in your IYap Liquid Cash account.
- Release of Item Hold
Company will release the payment hold after 21 days unless we receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold. Company may release the hold earlier if the sender of funds provides us confirmation, Company is able to confirm proper delivery, or Company otherwise completes its investigation.
- Additional hold period
If you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the item hold, Company may hold the payment in your account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement.
- Account Hold and Reserves
For high volume accounts, including business accounts, Company may, in its sole discretion, place a reserve on funds held in your account when it believes there may be a high level of risk associated with your account. If your account is subject to a reserve, Company will provide you with notice specifying the terms of the reserve. The terms may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of Liquid Cash is held in reserve, or anything else that Company determines is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your account. Company may change the terms of the reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.

- Representations
If you are a business entity, you represent that you are duly authorized to do business in the United States; and your employees, officers, representatives, and other agents accessing the IYap Liquid Cash Services are duly authorized to access the IYap Liquid Cash Services and to legally bind you to this User Agreement and all transactions conducted under your username and password.
- Authority of Officers and Employees
If you are a business entity, you agree that all officers, employees, agents, representatives and others having access to the username and/or password shall be vested by you with the authority to use the IYap Liquid Cash Services and to legally bind you. You shall be responsible for all actions by current and former officers, employees, agents, representatives and others, regardless of whether authorized by you, that access the IYap Liquid Cash Services using your username and password. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK FOR THE FRAUDULENT, UNAUTHORIZED OR OTHERWISE IMPROPER USE OF YOUR PASSWORD. WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RELY ON THE GENUINENESS AND AUTHORITY OF ALL INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED BY US WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY SUCH PASSWORD, AND TO ACT ON SUCH INSTRUCTIONS.
- Authorized Merchant Payments
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may use your IYap Liquid Cash account to pay for goods or services only via certain mobile websites or applications offered by merchants that have been approved by Company to offer IYap Liquid Cash as a payment option (such payments being “Authorized Merchant Payments”). If available, the option to pay using your IYap Liquid Cash account will appear on an approved merchant’s mobile site or in its app as a IYap Liquid Cash-branded payment button offered during the checkout process or, in some cases, may appear if you first select IYap USA as your payment method on the merchant’s mobile site. Payments sent via the IYap Liquid Cash app or IYap Liquid Cash.com to another IYap Liquid Cash user do not qualify as Authorized Merchant Payments. Similarly, if you are charged via the IYap Liquid Cash app or IYap Liquid Cash.com and accept the charge, this is not an Authorized Merchant Payment. If the option to pay using your IYap Liquid Cash account appears after you first select IYap USA as your payment method on the merchant’s mobile site, those transactions are governed by the IYap Liquid Cash User Agreement, IYap Liquid Cash Privacy Policy and other IYap Liquid Cash specific terms and conditions, rather than IYap USA’s terms and conditions.
- Fees for Authorized Merchant Payments
While you are responsible for the amount of any Authorized Merchant Payment, Company will not charge you any fees for using your IYap Liquid Cash account to complete an Authorized Merchant Payment, regardless of how the payment was funded. Company may elect to implement and alter Authorized Merchant Payment fees from time to time in its sole discretion. You may be subject to third party fees, including, without limitation, insufficient fund fees, reversal fees, or ACH insufficient fund fees that a bank may charge if your Authorized Merchant Payment transaction is rejected.
- Funding Authorized Merchant Payments
Your IYap Liquid Cash account balance will be used to make Authorized Merchant Payments when the balance is sufficient to cover the entire payment amount. If your balance is not sufficient to cover the entire payment amount, your default backup payment method will be used to fund the entire payment amount instead. Authorized Merchant Payments will not be split between your IYap Liquid Cash account balance and a backup payment method. You will be asked to select a default backup payment method at the time you enable Authorized Merchant Payments. You may decline to select a default backup payment method. If your balance is insufficient to cover an Authorized Merchant Payment and you have not selected a default backup payment method, or if your backup payment method is invalid or insufficient, your transaction will be declined. You can set or change your default payment method for Authorized Merchant Payments in the Banks & Cards section of your IYap Liquid Cash account settings.
iii. Linking Your IYap Liquid Cash Account to an Authorized Merchant
When you use IYap Liquid Cash to make an Authorized Merchant Payment, you may be given the option to link your IYap Liquid Cash account to the merchant (and if you choose, to set it as the default payment method for that merchant). Use caution when linking your IYap Liquid Cash account to a merchant. Once linked, that merchant will have the ability to charge your linked IYap Liquid Cash account for future purchases in accordance with your agreement with the merchant.
By linking your IYap Liquid Cash account to a merchant or otherwise using IYap Liquid Cash to make an Authorized Merchant Payment, you authorize Company to facilitate Authorized Merchant Payments using (i) your IYap Liquid Cash account balance (when sufficient to cover the entire payment) and (ii) your default backup payment method (when your IYap Liquid Cash account balance is not sufficient to cover the entire payment).
When you link your IYap Liquid Cash account to a merchant, you authorize the merchant to charge your IYap Liquid Cash account balance (and your default backup payment method when your balance is insufficient to cover the transaction amount) for all Authorized Merchant Payments made with that merchant, in accordance with your agreement with the merchant. If you no longer wish to have your IYap Liquid Cash account linked to a merchant (for example, you no longer wish to make purchases at a particular merchant, or you are concerned that someone may have unauthorized access to your IYap Liquid Cash account), you can disconnect your IYap Liquid Cash account from that merchant in the Connected Merchants section of your account settings via the IYap Liquid Cash mobile app. If you disconnect your IYap Liquid Cash account from a merchant, you may still owe the merchant Liquid Cashfor the purchase or have additional obligations to the merchant for any goods or services that you receive but have not paid for.
Once disconnected from a merchant, you will not be able to conduct Authorized Merchant Payments with that merchant unless you re-link your IYap Liquid Cash account to that merchant.
- Logins and Security
Depending on the merchant, once you’ve connected your IYap Liquid Cash account, you may be asked to log into IYap Liquid Cash and/or to provide your Touch ID or PIN (if enabled) before you will be able to complete a purchase. To enable Touch ID or PIN on iOS, go to go to Settings > Touch ID & PIN. To enable PIN on Android, go to Settings > Security Settings.
- Authorized Merchant Payment Limits
We impose limits on the total amount of Authorized Merchant Payments you can make using your IYap Liquid Cash account. Please see our Help Center here for more details on limits. These limits may change from time to time in Company’s sole discretion.
- Sharing Authorized Merchant Payments
Authorized Merchant Payments will not be shared with others on your IYap Liquid Cash social feed unless you choose to share. If you elect to share an Authorized Merchant Payment and your default audience setting is public or friends, that setting will control who sees the payment. If you elect to share an Authorized Merchant Payment and your default audience setting is private, the payment will be shared with your IYap Liquid Cash friends. You can change your default audience setting in the privacy section of your IYap Liquid Cash account settings. You can change the audience setting for any Authorized Merchant Payment you have already shared by selecting it from your IYap Liquid Cash social feed and changing the audience setting.
vii. Payment Authorizations and Processing Delays
When you make an Authorized Merchant Payment, you are providing the merchant with an authorization to process your payment. Your payment will be held as pending until the merchant processes it, which may not occur immediately depending on the merchant. In such cases, your authorization will remain valid for up to thirty (30) days, and we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your IYap Liquid Cash account for the payment amount. In addition, for payments to certain merchants, we or the merchant may request an authorization for what is estimated to be the final payment amount. This estimate may exceed the actual payment amount. For example, a merchant may request an authorization for an estimated service fee and for a tip, and that estimate may be higher than what you ultimately pay. In such cases, we may place a temporary hold on the funds in your IYap Liquid Cash account for the estimated payment amount. We will release any temporarily-held funds that exceed the actual payment amount within thirty (30) days of the payment. Until released, the funds subject to any hold will not be available to you.
viii. Authorized Merchant Payment Protection
IMPORTANT: ONLY QUALIFYING AUTHORIZED MERCHANT PAYMENTS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR AUTHORIZED MERCHANT PAYMENT PROTECTION. THIS PROTECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONDUCTED USING IYAP LIQUID CASH. FOR EXAMPLE, AUTHORIZED MERCHANT PAYMENT PROTECTION WOULD NOT APPLY TO ANY PAYMENT YOU MAKE (OR CHARGE YOU ACCEPT) USING THE IYAP LIQUID CASH APP OR IYAP LIQUID CASH WEBSITE, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE PAYMENT (OR CHARGE) OR THE RECIPIENT (OR REQUESTOR). IYAP USA PURCHASE PROTECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO AUTHORIZED MERCHANT PAYMENTS.
When you make an Authorized Merchant Payment you may be covered by the Authorized Merchant Payment Protection program. When applicable, Authorized Merchant Payment Protection entitles you to reimbursement for the full purchase price of the item purchased plus the original shipping costs you paid, if any. When you submit a claim, Company determines, in its sole discretion, whether the claim qualifies for Authorized Merchant Payment Protection using the eligibility guidelines below. Company’s determination is considered final, but you may be able to appeal the decision if you have new or compelling information not available at the time of the original determination or you believe there was an error in the decision-making process.
You may be required to return the item to the authorized merchant or other party specified by Company as part of the settlement of the claim. Authorized Merchant Payment Protection does not entitle you to reimbursement for return shipping costs that may be incurred.
Authorized Merchant Payment Protection may apply when you encounter these specific problems with an eligible Authorized Merchant Payment transaction:
- INR (“Item Not Received”): You didn’t receive the item from the authorized merchant
- SNAD (“Significantly Not as Described”): You received item, but the item differs significantly from what you ordered.
Note that these claims are different than Unauthorized or Error claims, which are handled according to Section D.11 of this Agreement.

- Gambling, gaming and/or any other activity with an entry fee and a prize.
Even if your purchase is not eligible for Authorized Merchant Payment Protection, you can try to resolve the issue directly with the authorized merchant.
INR (Item Not Received) Claims
Your claim will not qualify for Authorized Merchant Payment Protection if:
- You collect the item in person, or arrange for it to be collected on your behalf, including purchases made at an authorized merchant’s store location.
- Company has adequate proof from the authorized merchant indicating that the item was delivered or order was fulfilled.
If the merchant presents evidence that they delivered the goods to your address, Company may find in favor of the merchant even if you did not receive the goods.
SNAD (Significantly Not as Described) Claims
In order to qualify for Authorized Merchant Payment Protection as a result of a Significantly Not as Described claim, the item must be materially different from the authorized merchant’s description of the item.
The following claims will qualify as a Significantly Not as Described claim:
- You received a completely different item (e.g., you purchased a book and received a DVD or an empty box).
- The condition of the item was misrepresented (e.g., the item was described as “new” but the item was used).
- The item was advertised as authentic but is not authentic (i.e., counterfeit).
- The item is missing major parts or features and those facts were not disclosed in the description of the item when you bought it.
- You purchased multiple items but order received was incomplete.
- The item was damaged during shipment.
The following claims will not qualify as a Significantly Not as Described claim:
- A defect in an item was correctly described by the authorized merchant in its description of the item.
- The item was properly described but you didn’t want it after you received it.
- The item was properly described but did not meet your expectations.
- The item has minor scratches and was described as “used.”
Authorized Merchant Payment Protection Claim Process
If you’re unable to resolve an Authorized Merchant Payment related issue directly with an authorized merchant, you can file an Authorized Merchant Payment Protection claim with Company using the steps described below. If you do not follow these steps, your claim may be denied.
Step 1: File a claim by emailing or calling an agent at 1 (855) 865-6821 within 90 days of the date you made the Authorized Merchant Payment. Please include information on the Authorized Merchant Payment you’re disputing and the reason for your claim, including: the date and amount of purchase, the authorized merchant’s name, and an explanation of your issue.
Step 2: Respond to Company’s requests for documentation or other information. Company may require you to provide receipts, photographs, police reports or other documents that Company specifies. You must respond to these requests in a timely manner as requested in our correspondence.
Step 3: Comply with Company’s shipping requests in a timely manner. If you file a SNAD claim Company may require you, at your expense, to ship the item back to the authorized merchant, to Company, or to a third party specified by Company and to provide proof of delivery. Proof of delivery means:
- Confirmation that can be viewed online and includes the delivery address showing at least city/state or zip code, delivery date, and the identity of the shipping company you used.
- For transactions that total $500 U.S. dollars or more, you must provide signature confirmation of delivery.
Step 4: Company will make a final decision on the claim, in its sole discretion, based on the coverage and eligibility requirements set forth above, any additional information provided during the claim process, and any other information Company deems relevant and appropriate under the circumstances. You may appeal the decision if you have new or compelling information not available at the time of the original determination or you believe there was an error in the decision-making process.
Chargebacks
You may dispute an Authorized Merchant Payment with your card issuer if you used a debit or credit card to fund your Authorized Merchant Payment. Your rights with the card issuer may be broader than those available under the Authorized Merchant Payment Protection plan and you may be able to recover amounts even if you don’t qualify for Authorized Merchant Payment Protection.
You must choose to either pursue a claim with Company under the Authorized Merchant Payment Protection program or pursue a dispute with your card issuer. You cannot do both and cannot recover funds from both Company and card issuer. If you submit a claim to us and file a chargeback relating to the same transaction with your card issuer, we’ll deny and close your claim with us. Similarly, if you pursue a dispute with your card issuer, you cannot pursue a claim with us later.
If you submit an Authorized Merchant Payment Protection claim with Company and we deny the claim, you can seek to pursue a dispute with your card issuer. If Company does not make a final decision on your claim until after your card issuer’s deadline for filing a dispute, and because of our delay you recover less than the full amount you would have been entitled to recover from the card issuer, we will reimburse you for the remainder of your loss minus any amount you have already recovered from the authorized merchant or your card issuer.
Before filing a dispute or claim with either your card issuer or Company, you should contact the authorized merchant to attempt to resolve your issue.
Other payment methods may provide you with additional protection or other benefits that you will not receive if you use your IYap Liquid Cash account to make a purchase. Please consider this when choosing whether to use your IYap Liquid Cash account for Authorized Merchant Payments.
- Unauthorized Activity
If you become aware of a payment that you did not authorize, please follow the procedures outlined in Section D.11 of this Agreement.
- Questions
If you have any questions regarding Authorized Merchant Payments, please contact us. Learn more about Authorized Merchant Payments here.
- Using IYap Liquid Cash with Apple’s Siri or iMessage
You may use certain IYap Liquid Cash Services via iMessage and Siri on iPhones running iOS 10 or higher on which the IYap Liquid Cash app has been installed. Such use is subject to Apple’s applicable terms and conditions for use of iMessage and/or Siri and the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, those set forth below.
If you choose to use Siri or iMessage to send payments via IYap Liquid Cash, you must permit IYap Liquid Cash to integrate with iOS, and you authorize IYap Liquid Cash to share some of your IYap Liquid Cash account data (including your friends list, list of persons you have transacted with most recently and most frequently, transaction instructions and transaction notes) with Apple to allow it to facilitate transaction requests made through Siri or iMessage on iOS. Data shared with Apple will be used pursuant to Apple’s then-current user agreements and privacy policies.
You can grant or revoke Apple’s access to IYap Liquid Cash on iOS at any time under the “Siri” or “iMessage” settings on your iPhone.
- Using IYap Liquid Cash in iMessage
Unlike most payments sent with IYap Liquid Cash, a IYap Liquid Cash payment sent via iMessage must be accepted by a recipient with a IYap Liquid Cash account before that payment can be added to the recipient’s IYap Liquid Cash balance. When you send a payment in iMessage, the recipient will be prompted to tap a link to accept the funds. Payment recipients do not need iOS 10 or an iPhone, but their device must have the ability to receive text messages from you and be able to access the internet. In addition, the recipient must have a IYap Liquid Cash account in order to accept the payment. If a recipient without a IYap Liquid Cash account attempts to accept funds, he or she must create a IYap Liquid Cash account first.
When you send a payment in iMessage, the payment will leave your IYap Liquid Cash account immediately, but it will not be added to the recipient’s IYap Liquid Cash balance until he or she accepts the payment. Payments sent via iMessage will appear in your IYap Liquid Cash social feed.
If a payment sent in iMessage is not accepted within three (3) days, it will be canceled automatically. You may cancel a payment sent via iMessage any time prior to it being accepted by going to Incomplete in the IYap Liquid Cash app menu, selecting the relevant payment and cancelling it.
When a payment initiated via iMessage is canceled, the funds will be returned to the original funding source for the payment. If the payment was funded via your IYap Liquid Cash balance, the payment will be returned to your balance. If the payment was funded by a credit or debit card, the payment will be returned that card. It may take up to thirty (30) days for the returned payment to be applied by your card issuer. You can contact them directly for specific timeframes. If you funded a payment via bank account, the payment will be returned to that account. Bank transfers initiated before 7 PM Eastern Time on business days will typically be available in your bank account the next business day (Monday through Friday, excluding bank holidays). Bank transfers could be delayed or blocked if we identify an issue. You will be notified via email should this occur. Bank transfers will not be deposited on weekends or holidays.
You can view the status of a payment sent via iMessage by going to Incomplete in the IYap Liquid Cash app menu or by tapping the payment note in iMessage.
You may also initiate a charge request in iMessage. Any charge request not accepted within three (3) days will be canceled automatically.
You cannot use IYap Liquid Cash to initiate a payment or charge request in iMessage group conversations.
- Payments via Siri
Payments sent using Siri are similar to other standard payments sent in the IYap Liquid Cash app. Once initiated, the payment will leave your IYap Liquid Cash account and be made available to the recipient as soon as you confirm the payment. You’ll also be able to see the payment in your IYap Liquid Cash social feed.
Siri can only be used to pay or request payment from persons on your IYap Liquid Cash friends list, those who are IYap Liquid Cash friends with your IYap Liquid Cash friends and your “top people” on IYap Liquid Cash, which you can see in the IYap Liquid Cash app when you tap to initiate a payment. The top people may include those who are not your friends on IYap Liquid Cash so long as you have transacted with them previously.
When initiating a IYap Liquid Cash payment or charge request on Siri, you must specify the name of the individual IYap Liquid Cash user you are seeking to pay or charge. Siri cannot be used to send payments to email addresses, phone numbers or IYap Liquid Cash usernames. If you’re trying to send a payment to someone that’s not showing up while using Siri, you may be asked to proceed to the IYap Liquid Cash app so that you can find the recipient and proceed with the transaction.
To initiate a IYap Liquid Cash payment using Siri, please use one of the following formats: “Pay [name of friend] [amount] dollars on IYap Liquid Cash for [payment note],” or “IYap Liquid Cash [name of friend] [amount] dollars for [payment note].”
Examples:
Hey Siri, pay Keith $5 on IYap Liquid Cash for coffee.
Hey Siri, IYap Liquid Cash Isabel $100 for groceries.
Prior to completing any IYap Liquid Cash transaction through Siri, Siri will show you an overview of your proposed payment or request and ask you to confirm the transaction details. If everything is correct, you can say “yes” or “send” or tap send on the confirmation screen to initiate the transaction. If any details are not correct, you need to change something, or have changed your mind, you can just say “no” or tap “cancel” on the confirmation screen, Siri will discard the proposed payment or request.
You can grant or revoke Siri’s access to IYap Liquid Cash at any time under Siri settings on your iPhone.
You cannot use IYap Liquid Cash to initiate payments to multiple persons in a single transaction through Siri.
iii. Audience Settings for Transactions in iMessage and Siri
When sending or requesting a payment via iMessage, the audience setting for the transaction will be the default audience setting (public, friends or participants only) for your IYap Liquid Cash account. You can change your audience setting for any individual IYap Liquid Cash transaction while in iMessage prior to confirming and submitting your transaction details. You can also change your default audience setting in the privacy section of your IYap Liquid Cash account settings.
When sending or requesting a payment using Siri, the audience setting for the transaction will be the default audience setting (public, friends or participants only) for your IYap Liquid Cash account. You will be shown your default audience setting on the confirmation screen for the transaction but you will not be able to change your audience setting during the transaction through Siri. If you want to change your default audience setting during a transaction on Siri, you will need to cancel the transaction and change your default audience setting in the privacy section of your IYap Liquid Cash account settings.
You can change the audience setting for any IYap Liquid Cash transaction conducted through iMessage or Siri after it has been completed by selecting the transaction from your IYap Liquid Cash transaction feed and changing the audience setting for the transaction.
- Logins and Security
You must be logged into IYap Liquid Cash in order to access the IYap Liquid Cash Services using iMessage and/or Siri. If enabled, you will also need to provide Touch ID or PIN for IYap Liquid Cash before you will be able to complete a transaction using Siri or iMessage. To enable Touch ID or PIN for IYap Liquid Cash on iOS, go to IYap Liquid Cash Settings > Touch ID & PIN. IYap Liquid Cash transactions cannot be made from a locked iOS device.
- Modifications; No Liability for Third Party Materials
We may add, change, suspend or eliminate any or all IYap Liquid Cash Services available via iMessage and/or Siri at any time, with or without notice. Company has no liability or responsibility for any errors or other issues with Siri, iMessage, iOS or any other third party software, device or service that may impact your ability to use the IYap Liquid Cash Services.
- Questions
If you have any questions about using IYap Liquid Cash with iMessage and/or Siri, you can learn more here.
- IYap Liquid Cash Card
As part of the IYap Liquid Cash Services, you may be offered the opportunity to apply for a Visa-branded, prepaid debit card (the “IYap Liquid Cash Card”) via a designated website or the IYap Liquid Cash app. The IYap Liquid Cash Card is linked to your IYap Liquid Cash account, funded by your IYap Liquid Cash account balance and allows you to make purchases at merchants in the United States that accept Visa cards.
- Issuance of the IYap Liquid Cash Card
The IYap Liquid Cash Card is issued by Various Banks (the “Bank”) and your use of the card will be subject to the Bank’s Cardholder Agreement available at on site footer (the “Cardholder Agreement”), as well this Agreement. The Cardholder Agreement is entered into by and between you and the Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Cardholder Agreement, the Cardholder Agreement shall govern your use of the IYap Liquid Cash Card and your relationship with the Bank to the extent of such conflict.
- Automatic Reloads; Authorization to Debit Your Linked Bank Account
IYap Liquid Cash Card transactions are funded solely by your IYap Liquid Cash account balance. To ensure that your balance is sufficient to cover IYap Liquid Cash Card transactions, we’ll automatically add funds to (or “reload”) your IYap Liquid Cash balance by transferring Liquid Cash from your app account whenever your balance is less than the transaction amount. We cannot reload your IYap Liquid Cash balance using a linked credit or debit card. You cannot opt-out of automatic reloads at this time. In order to use the IYap Liquid Cash Card, you must link a bank account to allow for balance reloads.
IYap Liquid Cash establishes a set, default amount for each reload (currently $10). The default amount (or a multiple thereof) will be transferred from your linked bank account to your IYap Liquid Cash balance each time a reload is required to complete a IYap Liquid Cash Card transaction. To the extent multiple reloads are required to complete a transaction, we’ll reload your IYap Liquid Cash balance with a multiple of the reload amount. IYap Liquid Cash may alter the default reload amount from time to time.
For example:
Single Reload – You have $0 in your IYap Liquid Cash balance and attempt to make a $8 IYap Liquid Cash Card purchase. The default reload amount is $10. Since the purchase amount exceeds your balance by $8, an automatic reload to your IYap Liquid Cash balance is triggered in the default amount of $10. This brings your account balance to $10 and allows you to complete the $8 transaction, leaving $2 in your IYap Liquid Cash balance. Your bank statement will show a corresponding $10 transfer to IYap Liquid Cash. The $2 that remains in your balance can be used for future IYap Liquid Cash transactions.
Multiple Reloads – You have $12 in your IYap Liquid Cash account and attempt to make a $100 IYap Liquid Cash Card purchase. The default reload amount is $10. Since the purchase amount exceeds your current balance by $88, an automatic reload to your IYap Liquid Cash account is triggered. A single default reload of $10, however, would not allow you to complete the transaction. Instead, we reload a multiple of the default reload amount as necessary to complete the transaction. In this case, it would take 9 reloads of $10 to complete the transaction ($10 x 9 = $90). IYap Liquid Cash would combine the nine reloads into a single $90 reload, bringing your account balance to $102. This allows you to complete the $100 transaction and leaves $2 in your balance. Your bank statement will show a corresponding $90 transfer to IYap Liquid Cash (as the nine required reloads were combined into a single reload transaction). The $2 that remains in your balance can be used for future IYap Liquid Cash transactions.
By using the IYap Liquid Cash Card, you hereby authorize IYap Liquid Cash to automatically debit your linked bank account for the default reload amount (or multiple thereof) as necessary to complete any transaction conducted using your IYap Liquid Cash Card. You further agree that once a reload transfer from your bank account has been initiated, you will not be able to cancel the transfer and that IYap Liquid Cash may resubmit any reload transfer that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, except as otherwise provided by the ACH Rules or applicable law. You may be subject to third party fees, such as insufficient fund fees, reversal fees, overdraft or other fees that a bank may charge if your reload transfer is rejected.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH IN YOUR IYAP LIQUID CASH BALANCE TO COMPLETE A IYAP LIQUID CASH CARD TRANSACTION, YOU SHOULD CONFIRM THAT YOUR LINKED BANK ACCOUNT CONTAINS FUNDS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE TRANSACTION BEFORE USING YOUR IYAP LIQUID CASH CARD. THIS WILL HELP YOU AVOID OVERDRAFT OR OTHER FEES YOUR BANK MAY CHARGE.
If you delete your bank account from IYap Liquid Cash, we will not be able to reload your IYap Liquid Cash account balance and any IYap Liquid Cash Card transaction that exceeds your available balance will be declined. We may disable your IYap Liquid Cash Card at the time you remove your linked bank account.
iii. IYap Liquid Cash Card Limits
We impose limits on the total amount of transactions you can conduct using your IYap Liquid Cash Card. Please see our Help Center here for more details on IYap Liquid Cash Card limits. These limits may change from time to time in Company’s sole discretion, subject to applicable law.
- Audience Settings for IYap Liquid Cash Card Transactions
When you visit the IYap Liquid Cash app following completion of a IYap Liquid Cash Card transaction, you will be offered the opportunity to share your transaction on the IYap Liquid Cash social feed. You can choose to share the transaction with all IYap Liquid Cash users by selecting the public audience setting or you can limit your sharing to your IYap Liquid Cash friends by selecting friends as the audience setting. You can change the audience setting for any IYap Liquid Cash Card transaction by selecting the transaction from your IYap Liquid Cash transaction feed and changing the audience setting for the transaction.

- Resolution Procedures for Unauthorized Transactions and Other Errors
- Protection for Unauthorized Transactions and Other Errors
The following terms and conditions apply with respect to all IYap Liquid Cash Services other than the IYap Liquid Cash Card. For provisions regarding unauthorized card transaction or other card errors, please see the Cardholder Agreement. You can also call us at 1-855-865-6821 or email us at cardsuppo[email protected] for IYap Liquid Cash Card related support.
When an Unauthorized Transaction (defined below) or Other Error (defined below) occurs in your account, including Unauthorized Transactions that occur because your IYap Liquid Cash mobile-activated phone has been lost or stolen, Company will cover you for the full amount of every eligible Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error as long as you follow the procedures discussed below.
An “Unauthorized Transaction” is a type of error that occurs when Liquid Cash is sent from your account that you did not authorize and that did not benefit you. For example, if someone steals your password, uses the password to access your account, and sends a payment from your account, an Unauthorized Transaction has occurred. However, if you give someone access to your account (for example, by giving them your login information) and they conduct transactions without your knowledge or permission, you are responsible for any resulting use. Such transactions are not considered Unauthorized Transactions.
In addition, “Other Errors” occur when Liquid Cash is either incorrectly credited to your account or incorrectly debited from your account, or when transactions are incorrectly recorded in your account. Other Errors that are covered by Company are limited to the following events: (i) if you send a payment and we debit an incorrect amount from your account; (ii) if we credit an incorrect amount to your account; (iii) if a transaction is missing from or not properly identified in your account statement; and (iv) if there is a computational or mathematical error by Company. Routine inquiries about your balance or the status of a pending transfer into or out of your account are not considered Unauthorized Transactions or Other Errors unless you expressly notify us of an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error in connection with the transfer. Requests for information for tax or other recordkeeping purposes and requests for duplicate documentation also are not deemed to be Unauthorized Transactions or Other Errors. You may request documentation or information regarding your account or transaction to determine whether an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error exists by contacting us through the “Contact Us” link on the IYap Liquid Cash website.
- Notification Requirements
You should immediately notify Company if you believe:
- There has been an Unauthorized Transaction, unauthorized access to your account, or the occurrence of an Other Error;
- There is an error in your transaction history or your transaction confirmation sent to you by email;
- Your password has been compromised;
- Your IYap Liquid Cash mobile-activated phone has been lost, stolen or deactivated; or
- You need more information about a transaction listed in your transaction history or transaction confirmation email.
To be eligible for 100% protection for Unauthorized Transactions sent from your account, you must notify us within 60 days after any Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error first appears in your account statement. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the account statement was made available to you, you may not get back any Liquid Cash you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the Liquid Cash if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
You should regularly log into your account and review your transaction history to ensure that there has not been an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error. Company will also send an email to the primary email address on file in order to notify you of each transaction from your account. You should review these emails to ensure that each transaction was authorized and is accurate.
For Unauthorized Transactions or Other Errors in your account, notify us as follows:
- By writing to us through https://help.iYap Liquid Cash.com under the “Contact Us” tab; or
- By emailing us at [email protected]; or
- By writing to IYap USA, LLC., Attn: IYap Liquid Cash Error Resolution Department, 6000 Live Oak Parkway, Suite 116 Norcross GA 30093; or

- The dollar amount of any suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error.
If you notify us orally, we may require that you send us written confirmation within 10 Business Days. During the course of our investigation, we may request additional information from you.
- Company Actions After Receipt of your Notification
Once you notify us of any suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error, or we otherwise learn of one, we will do the following:
- We will conduct an investigation to determine whether there has been an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error that is eligible for protection.
- We will complete our investigation within 10 Business Days of the date we received your notification of the suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error. If your account is new (the first transaction from your account was less than 30 Business Days from the date you notify us), we may take up to 20 Business Days to complete this investigation. If we need more time, we may take up to 45 days to complete our investigation (or up to 90 days for new accounts).
If we decide that we need more time to complete our investigation, we will provisionally credit your account for the amount of the suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error. You will receive the provisional credit within 10 Business Days of the date we received your notice (or 20 Business Days for new accounts). This will allow you to have use of the Liquid Cash until we complete the investigation. We will notify you of the provisional credit within 2 Business Days of the crediting. If we ask you to provide written confirmation and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days (or 20 Business Days for new accounts), we will not provisionally credit your account.
- We will inform you of our decision within 3 Business Days after completing our investigation. If we determine that there was an error, we will promptly credit the full amount of the error into your account within 1 Business Day of our determination. Or, if you have already received a provisional credit, you will be allowed to retain those amounts.
If we decide that there was not an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error, we will include an explanation of our decision in our email or other communications to you. If you received a provisional credit, after giving you 5 Business Days advance notice of the date and amount of the debit, we will remove it from your account. You may request copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
- Processing Errors
We will rectify any processing error that we discover. If the error results in your receipt of less than the correct amount to which you are entitled, Company will credit your account for the difference. If the error results in your receipt of more than the correct amount to which you are entitled, Company will debit the extra funds from your account. If the error resulted in our not completing a transaction on time or in the correct amount, we will be liable for your losses or damages directly caused by this failure, unless: (a) through no fault of ours, you did not have enough available funds to complete the transaction, (b) our system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction, or (c) circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood or loss of Internet connection) prevented the transaction, despite our reasonable precautions.
