1.4 COSMOTE PAYMENTS may abolish, amend, and introduce new methods of completion of Cash-in and Redemption Transactions, notifying them to the Users through its website, their E-Wallet profile and/or by e-mail.

1.5 COSMOTE Payments applies the Verification of Payee (hereinafter “VoP”), in the context of a Redemption Transaction involving the transfer of the requested amount from the E-Wallet to a designated Payment Account, as referred to in section 1.2.2 (a) above.

1.5.1 In accordance with European legislation [in particular Regulation (EU) 2024/886, as in force] and the requirements of the Verification of Payee (VoP) scheme of the European Payments Council (EPC), COSMOTE Payments, acting as a Payment Service Provider (“PSP”) on behalf of the Payer or the Beneficiary of a SEPA Credit Transfer, performs, according to the procedure referred in these terms, a Verification check between the name, surname, and Payment Account (IBAN) of the Beneficiary of the aforementioned transfer, as entered by the Payer. Where COSMOTE Payments acts as the PSP of the Payer, the Payer is informed of the outcome of this check before execution of the credit transfer, with the aim of reducing the risk of payments to an unintended Beneficiary, reducing fraud, and generally enhancing transaction security. Where COSMOTE Payments acts as the PSP of the Beneficiary, informs the PSP of the Payer regarding the outcome of the check.

1.5.2 Process (COSMOTE Payments as PSP of the Payer):

After the Payer enters the Beneficiary’s Payment Account (IBAN), first name and surname, COSMOTE Payments, acting as the Payer’s PSP, sends a Verification request to the Beneficiary’s PSP. The outcome of the Verification check is communicated to the Payer in real time and before completion of the credit transfer, as one of the following cases:

- Match: exact matching and successful verification of the Beneficiary and the Beneficiary’s Payment Account (IBAN).
- Close Match: verification is sufficiently similar but not exact. The full name of the Beneficiary, as received from the Beneficiary’s PSP, is displayed.
- No Match: no verification. The Beneficiary’s name and surname do not correspond to the holder of the Payment Account (IBAN).
- Verification not possible: the service is unavailable, or not supported by the Beneficiary’s PSP, or the verification cannot be performed due to technical issues.

The VoP result is displayed in the E-Wallet of the Payer prior to confirming the credit transfer, in real time.

Based on the VoP outcome, the Payer is informed through an informational message, in order to decide whether to proceed or cancel the credit transfer.

When the Payment Account is held jointly by multiple Beneficiaries, the VoP check confirms whether the Beneficiary indicated is among the multiple Beneficiaries, and the respective result is returned.

1.5.3 User Options:

The process described above is for informational purposes only and does not affect the Payer’s ability to execute the transaction, regardless of the VoP outcome, i.e. even in cases of “Close Match” or “No Match”. In such cases, there is a risk that the credit transfer may be executed to a Payment Account not held by the Beneficiary indicated by the Payer. In such cases, the liability limitations of COSMOTE Payments set out in section 1.5.5 shall apply.

1.5.4 Service Availability

The VoP service is available on a continuous basis (24/7), except during scheduled maintenance periods or unforeseen technical issues outside the control of COSMOTE Payments.

1.5.5 Limitation of Liability

COSMOTE Payments cannot be held responsible for the execution of a credit transfer to an incorrect Beneficiary due to an erroneous Payment Account (IBAN), provided that the process described in these Terms has been duly followed.

Furthermore, COSMOTE Payments shall not be liable for any financial losses, claims, or disputes that may arise in the cases of technical issues or unavailability of third-party systems occur, which are outside the control of COSMOTE Payments.

COSMOTE Payments provides the VoP service on the basis of information received from third-party PSPs and shall not be liable for any errors, delays, interruptions, or inaccuracies that may arise.

1.5.6 Service Modifications

COSMOTE Payments reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time as deemed necessary, in order to comply with changes in the applicable legislation, the requirements of the VoP scheme of the EPC, and/or its respective operational and regulatory policies.
