Payment type | If you provide your payment order at this time | When will money arrive in the beneficiary’s account |

Payment to a wallet in any currency | Any time | There is no statutory deadline. However, in most cases the money will arrive very shortly after you have placed the payment order with us. |

Payment in euro or sterling | After 4 pm on a business day or not on a business day | by the end of the second business day after LemFi receives your payment order |

There may be occasions where LemFi sends money on your behalf to a beneficiary account which is not a wallet and it is returned to LemFi (for whatever reason). If LemFi has to carry out a currency exchange when LemFi sent the payment, when the money is returned it will be converted back into the original currency at the then prevalent exchange rate. This means that the amount you receive might be more or less than the amount you originally held in your account. LemFi is not responsible for any losses in such cases.
20.9 How do you exchange money in your wallet from one currency to another?
You can exchange money from one currency to another by:

21.6 What happens if you give LemFi incorrect beneficiary account details or are scammed into executing a payment or into providing LemFi with the beneficiary account details belonging to a fraudster?
LemFi’s job is to send your money to the beneficiary account that you provide LemFi with the details of. LemFi is unable to look behind the payments that you wish to make to find out if you have provided LemFi with the correct beneficiary account details or might have been the subject of a scam. LemFi is not liable where you have provided LemFi with beneficiary account details for a payment but later tell LemFi that these details were wrong except that you were subject of a scam. Accordingly, it is essential that you ensure that the beneficiary account details you provide LemFi are correct and that you take all the steps that you can to ensure that you are not the subject of a scam when executing a payment and providing LemFi with beneficiary account details.

24.22 What if LemFi delays in taking action?
If LemFi does not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if LemFi delays in taking steps against you in respect of your breach of these terms or any contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent LemFi from taking steps against you at a later date.
