FCA

Cleo AI Ltd is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (reference 806670) under the Payment Services Regulations 2017.

Our Services

The Services are described more fully on the Site. We pledge that the Services will substantially conform to the relevant description on the Site and will be provided with reasonable care and skill.

In particular, our Services involve the provision of account information services to you. This means that by using our Services, you agree that we may, either directly or through our trusted third party service provider Salt Edge Inc. ("Salt Edge"), access, process, aggregate or analyse information from one or more payment or other financial accounts ("Linked Accounts") that you link to your Cleo account in order to provide you with the following Services: provision of information regarding your transactions and financial position across all Linked Accounts; notifying you of certain activity concerning your Linked Accounts where you have requested such notifications; and responding to messages you have submitted through your Cleo account concerning your financial situation or transaction history.

Salt Edge requires that certain minimum terms are flowed down to you. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you also agree to Salt Edge's end user terms which are available here.

We also offer access to an e-wallet service. The e-wallet service is a third party service provided by MangoPay and as such, the use of this service is subject to MangoPay's terms (available here). By agreeing to these Terms of Services, you also agree to MangoPay's terms. Where we provide payment services to you in connection with your MangoPay account, we do so as agent for MangoPay in accordance your MangoPay terms.

Cleo Plus

We may, from time to time, offer a trial additional premium suite of services (the "Cleo Plus Services") for which we may charge an additional fee (the "Cleo Plus Subscription Fee") per month (the “Subscription Period”).

Some of the Cleo Plus Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions. By signing up for the Cleo Plus Services, you agree to these additional terms. Some of the Cleo Plus Services may also be limited based on undisclosed qualifying criteria. By signing up for the Cleo Plus Services, you are aware that you may not be eligible for all services at all times.

On signing up to use the Cleo Plus Services, you will provide us with valid, up-to-date and complete credit or debit card details, and you authorise us to charge such credit or debit card for the Cleo Plus Subscription Fee. You will be charged to your Cleo Wallet, or if failing this, to the bank account linked to your Cleo wallet.

By signing up to the services you agree to use this first Cleo Plus account as your sole Cleo Plus account.

Cleo may change the price for the Cleo Plus Services from time to time, and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Cleo Plus Subscription Fees will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Cleo Premium Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Cleo Premium Service prior to the price change going into effect. Please therefore make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully.

If we are unsuccessful in taking payment from your Cleo Wallet or debit/credit card, and without affecting any other rights and remedies available to us, we will, without responsibility to you, suspend or temporarily disable all or part of your access to the Cleo Plus Services and we shall be under no obligation to provide any or all of the Cleo Plus Services while the Premium Subscription Fee remains unpaid.

All amounts and Cleo Plus Subscription Fees stated or referred to in these Terms of Service:

  • are payable in the currency of your country;
  • are inclusive of value added tax (if applicable) unless otherwise expressly stated.

Your payment will automatically renew at the end of the “Subscription period”, unless you cancel your Paid Cleo Plus Services Subscription through Cleo before the end of the current Subscription Period. The cancellation will take effect immediately and you will be downgraded to the Free Service.

Linking payment or financial accounts

To use our Services you must link one or more payment accounts or, where available through the Services, other financial accounts, to your Cleo account. To link a payment or other financial account, we require certain account details from you including your personalised security credentials relating to that account ("Linked Account Security Credentials") (such as usernames, access numbers, passwords, security questions and answers, token/SMS codes, multifactor information, biometric information, device information usernames, PIN). We need these details in order to access and collect information from your Linked Account and/or your associated Linked Account transactions to provide our Services. You are responsible for notifying us of any changes to the Linked Account information or Linked Account Security Credentials you have provided.

Any Linked Account Security Credentials you provide will either be communicated directly to your Linked Account provider through the Services, or will by collected, held and stored securely by Salt Edge. Salt Edge will not make your Linked Account Security Credentials available to any third party other than your Linked Account provider (or other issuer of Linked Account Security Credentials) and will only transmit them through safe and efficient channels in accordance with regulatory rules. Cleo itself will not at any time store your Linked Account Security Credentials.

Any Linked Account data that you provide, and any information obtained from your Linked Accounts, shall only be used by us or Salt Edge to enable us to provide the Services to you (which may include, without limitation, using such data in connection with managing and investigating any security incidents relating to the Services).

You must only link payment or other financial accounts that you are the account holder of. In linking a financial account to your Cleo account, you confirm that you are the account holder. In linking an account, you should check that you are permitted by your Linked Account provider to share account details (and in particular any Linked Account Security Credentials) with us and Salt Edge as contemplated by these Terms of Service. This means that you should check any terms and conditions with your Linked Account provider. You should be aware that only providers of payment accounts that are accessible online are required by regulations to allow you to access account information through a service provider such as Cleo.

Our Services only support payment or other financial accounts provided by certain financial institutions and within certain jurisdictions. The payment and financial accounts that we are able to support may, from time to time, change and a list of those currently supported is available on our Site. We cannot guarantee that your Linked Account provider will allow us (whether directly or through Salt Edge) to access information from your Linked Account and you are responsible for providing any additional consent or authorisation required in order for us to do so.

Accessing your Linked Account

When you link a payment or financial account to your Cleo account, we will use your Linked Account Security Credentials to access and collect information from your Linked Accounts in order to provide our Services. The information that we and/or Salt Edge will access and collect includes transactions on your Linked Account, the features and benefits of your Linked Account and details of any regular transactions you have set up on your Linked Account.

We will access and collect information from your Linked Account: on a daily basis in order to refresh the financial information displayed on your Cleo dashboard; if you have set up notification requests within your Cleo account, as and when required in order to provide you with the relevant notifications (and until such notification request has been cancelled by you); and whenever you send us a message through your Cleo account regarding your Linked Accounts in order to answer your message. You may remove a Linked Account from your Cleo account at any time. Upon removal, we shall delete, and ensure that Salt Edge deletes, any Linked Account Security Credentials held by us and/or Salt Edge and neither of us will continue to access or collect information regarding the removed account. If you have signed up for a MangoPay account through Cleo, then we may continue to hold information regarding P2P transactions you have made or received during the term of our agreement with you.

In relation to our provision of the Services please note that our Services consist of the provision of information obtained from your Linked Account providers; we do not provide the information in your Linked Account nor have any responsibility for this information, it is the responsibility of your Linked Account provider to ensure that the information and data in your Linked Account is accurate and up to date; we, nor Salt Edge, will be responsible for any delays or errors caused by the delays or errors of your Linked Account providers; we cannot guarantee that your Linked Account providers will allow us or Salt Edge to access all or any information from your Linked Accounts; the information obtain from your Linked Account providers is provided to you on an "as is" basis and therefore no assurances are made that such data is accurate or up to date and neither we or Salt Edge will be liable for any losses you incur as a result of your reliance on that information; you are responsible for reviewing and notifying us of any discrepancies between the financial information provided to you through our Services and information provided to you directly from your Linked Account providers.

You should always confirm the information in your Cleo account with the information in your Linked Account. Should you wish to rely on any payment account or transaction information provided under the Service such that, if it were incomplete, inaccurate or out of date you could be prejudiced, you should check the information with the relevant payment account provider it has been obtained from.
