History

1 tally® = 1 milligram of physical gold vaulted in Switzerland for and on behalf of the customer.  Gold is proven to increase in price in GBP (£) over time although it fluctuates up and down in the short term as tally® rises or falls due to fluctuations in the global gold price.

UK-incorporated TallyMoney UK Ltd (“TML”) and it’s Guernsey-incorporated parent entity, Tally Central Ltd “TAL”) (together “Tally” spelt with a capital “T”) is the provider of the currency tally® (spelt with a small “t”).  Each tally represents 1 milligram of physical gold and the tally shown in a TallyMoney Account is held on behalf of and for the benefit of the holder of the TallyMoney Account i.e. the customer. Tally is responsible for all services relating to the currency tally.

A Transact Payments Account is a payment account able to make and receive electronic funds transfers through an IBAN (International Bank Account Number) issued under Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (“GFSC”)-licenced payment institution (“PI”) Transact Payments Limited (“TPL”).

TPL is authorised and regulated by the GFSC to issue electronic money and to conduct payment services activities under the Gibraltar Financial Services (Payment Services) Regulations 2020 and is also authorised to provide such services in the United Kingdom (FCA Ref No. 900864594). The services of TPL are governed between a separate set of terms and conditions between you and TPL which are set out here.

Funds that you transfer into e-money accounts are protected through “safeguarding” and are not covered under the Deposit Security Scheme of Gibraltar (“DSSG”).  The DSSG exists to fulfil the fiat currency obligations of a bank to its depositors, up to an individual limit of 100,000 Euros (or equivalent in GBP), in the event that a bank goes into administration/liquidation. When you send fiat currency (such as pounds and euros) to a Transact Payments Account, your fiat money is protected by TPL under the process known as “safeguarding” – a regulatory requirement for all payment accounts.  Unlike a bank, payment account balances must be segregated from all other cash balances of the payment Institution and TPL cannot use your fiat funds for its own purposes or lend your funds to other customers. In the unlikely event TPL ceases trading, any money placed into the payment account that hasn’t yet converted to tally® will be available to the customer, subject to charges by an insolvency practitioner/administrator, and the process for distributing safeguarded funds may take longer than a claim under the DSSG. However, this would only affect you if TPL went into administration/liquidation during the brief period before your fiat money (pounds) is converted to tally®. Once you hold tally® you are no longer holding fiat currency, so the safeguarding requirements for fiat currency no longer apply. Funds are only held by TPL for a brief period until they are converted to tally®. The tally® is held in a separate account provided by TML (“TallyMoney Account”).  The UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme does apply to the funds held in a TallyMoney Account as there is no GBP being held, only milligram of gold shown as tally®, which is insured under the vaulting service.

When fiat money is sent to a Transact Payments Account, it is used to purchase tally® which is held in a TallyMoney Account. Each unit of tally® is an electronic record of ownership and right to the value of 1 milligram of physical gold stored in a Brink’s vault in Switzerland, operated by TML and its parent entity, Tally Central Ltd, as a custodial service, with the added protection of a security trust structure with FCA-licensed trustee Woodside Corporate Services Ltd (FCA No. 467652 ). In the unlikely event TML or TAL ceases trading, all of the gold represented as tally® in customer accounts will promptly be sold, and the corresponding proceeds returned to each customer’s designated bank account, less a 1% charge to carry out the legal mechanism and this process at the time. tally® balances are protected to their full value (with no upper limits).

The Tally Mastercard® Debit Card (“TallyMoney Card”) is issued by Transact Payments Limited pursuant to licence by Mastercard International. Mastercard is a registered trademark, and the circles design is a trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated.   

1. What is the TallyMoney Platform?

Designed and built by Tally Central Ltd (“TAL”), a Guernsey-incorporated Non-Bank Financial Institution (“NBFI”) that is the monetary authority of tally®, and its UK-incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary, TallyMoney UK Ltd (TML or “us” / “we”), the TallyMoney platform technology and ecosystem (“TallyMoney Platform”) is a full-reserve non-fiat monetary system and platform that enables customers to use the value of London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”)-certified, ethically-sourced physical gold as digital money, called tally® (spelt with a lowercase “t”), that seamlessly operates with the incumbent fiat currency fractional-reserve banking system.

Your (or, “he/she”, “him/her”, or “you” as the “Applicant” or “Customer”) use of the TML smartphone app (“TallyMoney App”) and tallymoney.com website (“Website”) is governed by these terms and conditions (“Terms”). TML works with multiple entities, including TAL and TPL, to deliver its service. For example, your usage of the corresponding TallyMoney Card that is referred to in this document but both the Transact Payments Account and the TallyMoney Card are exclusively governed by separate terms and conditions (the “Transact Payments Account and Tally Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions”), which are available in the TallyMoney App and on the Website. You should read all of these documents carefully, and you must tick to accept them, before you use the TallyMoney App or the TallyMoney Card, as the Transact Payments Account and Tally Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions, along with the TPL Privacy Policy, form the legal relationship between you and TPL, and govern the opening, usage and closing of your Transact Payments Account with TPL. For the avoidance of doubt, TPL does not provide any services which are governed by these TallyMoney Customer Terms and Conditions. All services provided by TPL are governed exclusively by the Transact Payments Account and Tally Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions.

The TallyMoney Account which holds your tally® and TallyMoney App, which are provided to you by TML, are governed by these TallyMoney UK Ltd Customer Terms and Conditions, along with the TML Privacy Policy and you should read them carefully before you use the TallyMoney App.

  10. The quantity of tally® which is owned by TML’s Customers at all times represents 100% of the weight of physical gold bars stored on behalf of Customers (i.e. if it was ever required, it would be possible to sell the bullion and distribute the fiat currency proceeds amongst TML’s Customers in quantities proportionate to the number of tally® owned).

If the banks we use charge us more to process any payments, we may have to pass this cost on to you.

      6. any proceeds of crime are credited to your TallyMoney Account;
      7. if our contracts with TallyMoney Partners that provide services that are essential to the provision of the TallyMoney Platform are terminated and TML (or TAL as the case may be) is unable to engage a suitable replacement;
      8. if we are requested to by any governmental or regulatory authority whether or not that request is legally binding;
      9. an event, act or omission occurs that renders these Terms unenforceable, void or discharged (including as a result of illegality or change of law);
      10. we consider it necessary to do so for our own protection including (without limitation) in the following circumstances: (i) protection from fraud or money laundering; (ii) protection from market failure; (iii) protection from adverse or volatile market conditions; and (iv) protection from loss by us; or
      11. if your behaviour is deemed abusive or threatening – in either public or private forums – towards TML staff members or other customers.
      12. if your TallyMoney Account has a negative balance for more than 60 days or you owe TML fees, for instance due to not having sufficient tally® in your TallyMoney Account to pay the monthly Account-Keeping Fee.
  3. In the event of death of the holder of a TallyMoney Account, your estate or next of kin should contact [email protected] where one of our team shall take them through the procedures to close the account. Through these procedures, TML endeavours to process your TallyMoney Account with the instructions of your legally authorised executors or estate administrators.
  4. TML reserves the right to suspend your TallyMoney Account without notice where TML determines you have breached these Terms (or other terms incorporated by reference herein), or we have reason to believe your TallyMoney Account has been compromised. If TML makes a decision to close your TallyMoney Account, we will sell your tally® and, net of any fees owed to us, and provided it is permitted by law, return your funds in fiat currency via TPL to your Customer’s Bank Account, less any costs TPL may charge in doing so.
  5. Upon the effective date of termination:
    1. you will no longer be able to make payments in or out of tally® using your Transact Payments Account or TallyMoney Card;
    2. we will sell net of fees any tally® in your TallyMoney Account and return the fiat currency proceeds to your Customer’s Bank Account;
    3. we will retain your Data to the extent we need to do so to comply with our legal obligations.
  6. TML reserves the right to deduct sums due to TML from the Customer prior to fiat currency being transferred pursuant to clause ‎14.5.
  7. TML reserves the right to delay the return of funds pursuant to clause ‎14.5 in order to fulfil its legal obligations including in respect of money laundering legislation and other laws.

15. Actions for Dormant Accounts

  1. If a Customer fails to access his/her/their TallyMoney Account for 3 months and/or there is either: insufficient tally® in their account to pay for any fees due or a balance of less than 10 tally®, then the TallyMoney Account shall be deemed to be dormant. TML may elect to close a dormant TallyMoney Account but will use reasonable endeavours to contact the Customer, which for the avoidance of doubt shall not require TML to incur costs that are likely to be excessive in relation to the value of the tally®, if any, in the Customer’s TallyMoney Account.
  2. If after 30 days from first attempting to contact a Customer, as referred to in clause 15.1 using the details provided by the relevant Customer, no reply has been forthcoming, then the Customer will be deemed to be uncontactable and TML shall have full discretion to close the relevant customer’s TallyMoney Account and, net of any fees owed including a dormant account closing fee of ten tally®, sell any remaining tally® in their TallyMoney Account and direct that the fiat currency proceeds be paid to the last known Customer’s Bank Account TML has on file for that Customer. In the event the funds are returned as that Customer’s Bank Account is no longer current, TML shall be entitled to retain these funds. TML reserves the right to charge administration fees for TML’s endeavors to locate the dormant TallyMoney Account holder.

16. Severability

  1. In the event that any of the provisions of these Terms are found by a court of a competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such part will be severed from the remainder of the Terms and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect and thus enforceable.

17. Limitation of Liability

  1. TML shall not have any responsibility or liability of any kind for any losses or expenses whatsoever incurred by the Customer as a result of:
    1. a Force Majeure Event (defined below) or third party malicious damage or to comply with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction or any default of a TallyMoney Partner (provided the Customer has recourse against that TallyMoney Partner) that causes any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations under the Terms (including but not limited to the release of funds to the Customer and delays in crediting tally® to the Customer’s TallyMoney Account); or
    2. failure to obtain instructions from the Customer or any other party due to circumstances beyond its control.
  2. Neither TML, TAL nor any TallyMoney Partner shall be liable to the Customer whether in contract, tort or otherwise for any indirect, special, consequential loss or damages, such as but limited to property damage, loss of profit, loss of use of goods, loss of business or loss of reputation howsoever caused.
  3. No provision in these Terms limits the liability of TAL or TML:
    1. under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
    2. for death or personal injury caused by the gross negligence of TAL or TML; or
    3. for matters that TAL/TML cannot legally exclude its liability from; or
    4. for fraud and misrepresentations deemed fraudulent.
  4. Subject to clauses ‎17.3(B) and ‎17.3(C) above, the aggregate liability of TML and any TallyMoney Partners to you under contract, misrepresentation, restitution, tort, or otherwise, arising due to non-compliance with these Terms, shall at all times be limited to the value of your tally® held in your TallyMoney Account.
  5. Throughout this clause and the entire TallyMoney Customer Terms and Conditions, any reference to ‘TallyMoney Partners’ refers specifically to service providers utilised by TML/TAL to provide gold buying, selling and other custody services such as storage and insurance.

18. TAL or TML Insolvency

  1. TAL and TML have entered into a security trust deed with an independent third-party security trustee (“Security Trustee”) pursuant to which TAL and TML has granted security to the Security Trustee in respect of its contractual arrangements with its gold vaulting service provider and gold bullion brokers (“Secured Contracts”). In the unlikely event that TML should cease trading, the Security Trustee would enforce its Security over the Secured Contracts and seek to realise the gold represented by Customers’ tally® and held by TAL/TML on behalf of Customers, and return the net proceeds to the relevant customers’ non-Tally GBP-denominated IBAN account as described in clause 4.4. The Security Trustee will deduct 1% of the total value of each Customer’s tally® balance to cover the costs of doing this (including its own costs) and by agreeing to these Terms you agree to the deduction of these costs. It is likely that if TML ceased trading that no further tally® would be issued.
