By subscribing to Portify Plus, you confirm that you have read and agreed to these Portify Plus Terms (the “Terms”) together with the App Terms.

Portify Plus Subscription Fees

Bills Monitor Application

1.4 As a Portify Plus subscriber, you can make an application for our Bills Monitor service. Based on your application information, you may be eligible to request a draw down (the "Draw Down") on your Bills Monitor Revolving Credit Facility (“the Request”). For the avoidance of doubt, reference to a Draw Down means the provision of cash from Portify to you provided under these Terms and repayable under the same.

1.5 You confirm that all personal information you will provide in relation to your Bills Monitor Application is true and accurate. For the avoidance of doubt personal information refers to any information relating to you including, but not limited to, your name, email address, date of birth, address, current employer details, employment details and hours worked, average monthly savings and income and debt obligations, and bank account information. You shall immediately notify us of any changes. We shall process your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

1.6 While you may have more than one account on the App, you agree that you may only Draw Down once at any time irrespective of the number of accounts you have. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that you will not be eligible to Draw Down again where your current Draw Down is outstanding and has not been repaid in full to us.

1.7 You must provide us with details of a linked bank account for the Draw Down and in accordance with our Terms. You agree that the linked bank account must be your main bank account. If your employer or another organisation pays for your use of the App, your main bank account is the one that receives payments from such employer or other organisation. You must retain the connection with your linked bank account until the Draw Down is repaid in full to us.

1.8 If your Request is successful, we shall notify you accordingly through the App. If you wish to make changes to the Request, please contact us as soon as possible. You will be able to contact us for these purposes on the following – email: team@portify.co or via WhatsApp: +447476556252.

1.9 A legally binding contract will come into existence between you and us in accordance with these Terms and the Credit Agreement.

1.10 We may need further information from you in order for us to approve your Request or during the period of the contract. To the extent that additional information is required, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it we may decline the Request.

1.11 Upon Portify’s acceptance of your request, the Draw Down, of the amount agreed by Portify, will be made to you via the App to your linked bank account. No interest or any other charges shall be payable on the outstanding Bills Monitor amount paid to you by us.

1.12 Portify reserves all rights to refuse Draw Downs, and will notify you in such an instance accordingly.

Bills Monitor Payment

1.13 Upon Portify’s acceptance of your request, the Draw Down, of the amount agreed by Portify, will be made to you via the App to your linked bank account. Users of the Portify Plus service will be charged a monthly subscription fee (the “Subscription Fee”), which is payable by you, in your capacity as a Portify Plus service user, regardless of whether or not you are in receipt of the Draw Down. The Subscription Fee shall be a fixed amount, please refer to the table of fees and corresponding subscription levels in this section of the agreement for more information. The Subscription Fee shall become payable together with the Draw Down, where you receive the Draw Down (as applicable), in accordance to clause 1.14 below. No interest or any other charges shall be payable on the outstanding Bills Monitor amount paid to you by us.

Bills Monitor Repayment

1.14 Repayment(s) will be paid in minimum £25 instalments and the Draw Down is fully due within 30 days of receiving it. If you fail to repay within 30 days, we will automatically attempt to recover the Draw Down for a further 30 days. If we are unable to recover the Draw Down, you may lose access to the Portify App. You can also pay off the remaining balance in full before the 60th day at any point.

1.15 Portify will send you repayment reminders, via the App, at reasonable intervals before the date the Draw Down is due.

1.16 Payments can be made via debit or via a continuous payment authority (this is where you choose to give us the authority to directly take repayments from your account on the due date).

TransUnion Credit Score 

1.17 In order to gain access to the TransUnion Credit Score, you will be required to successfully pass an authentication process. This requires us to share some of your data to TransUnion (and its subcontractors), full details on TransUnion’s privacy policy can be found here. Not everyone will successfully pass authentication and neither Portify nor TransUnion are required to notify you why you have not been successfully authenticated. One reason for this may be that, at the time you request access to view your TransUnion Credit Score, TransUnion has been unable to match your personal details to the correct credit profile in its database.

1.18 You must only request your TransUnion Credit Score data for your own personal, non-commercial use and not on behalf of anyone else. You cannot request credit information about any third party using Portify.

1.19 TransUnion shall use its reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of the information provided as part of TransUnion Credit Score, however, TransUnion cannot guarantee that it is completely accurate. Some of this information comes from other businesses and sources, such as the electoral roll, insurance companies or financial institutions. Neither TransUnion nor any other third parties used to provide this data have any control over the content of such information and are not responsible if it turns out to be inaccurate. If you have concerns about this information, please reach out to TransUnion’s Support and Help Desk Service here.

1.20 You acknowledge and agree that all intellectual property rights in TransUnion Credit Score shall be owned by TransUnion and/or its licensors.

1.21 You acknowledge that the request for a Credit Report shall leave a footprint on your credit file, which is not visible to lenders, but will be visible to you, TransUnion and any other third party you permit to view your full Credit Report. This will occur without you requesting a Credit Report.

1.22 In order to receive the TransUnion Credit Score data as part of the Portify Plus Subscription, you are submitting a request under section 15 of the UK GDPR to TransUnion via Portify.

1.24 You understand that any information provided as part of TransUnion Score is provided for guidance and information only. The fact that you have a good credit score does not mean that a lender, credit card company or other provider of financial services products will accept your application, and they have their own acceptance criteria. A credit score does not take into consideration affordability issues which are also considered by financial services/credit providers.

1.32 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
