12.4 In case where the balance in Client's account in certain currency is not enough to cover the amount of a certain transaction or obligation of Client, Client agrees and authorizes Satabank to debit the necessary amount from available balance in Client's account held in other currency, applying the foreign exchange rate of Satabank for the date of the conversion, notified on Satabank website for the Service. The priority order for conversion of currencies in Client's account is given after System's default order or may be set by Client in which case Satabank is obliged to keep the manually determined order.
12.5 In case Client receives e-money in Currency, supported by Satabank, different from the currency of Client's account, Client agrees that Satabank shall issue e-money in the received currency, where the total balance of e-money held by Client shall be shown in the Principle currency of Client's account at the foreign exchange rate, applied by Satabank at the date of check of balance.
12.6 Payment transactions with Card, made in a currency other than the currency of the issued Card, will be converted by Satabank applying foreign exchange rate determined by Satabank plus a foreign exchange fee (if applicable) expressed as a certain percentage above the exchange rate for day in which the payment transaction has been executed, cleared or settled with the Card Organization. The foreign exchange rate is adjusted regularly based on market conditions (the wholesale exchange rate) at which Satabank obtains foreign currency. The exchange rate may be updated daily by Satabank and can be viewed in the online account. Foreign exchange fee (if applied) is shown in the tariff and retained by Satabank. All fees shall be charged to Client in the currency of the issued Card.
12.7 Client acknowledges and agrees that Satabank is authorized to satisfy immediately as they become due any obligations of Client towards Satabank under this Agreement or other, by debiting or withdrawing directly funds from the Client's account or any outstanding sums owed by Satabank to Client, including by debiting or charging the Funding instrument of Client. Satabank will inform Client on the ground, amount and value date of such withdrawals.
12.8 Client agrees and understands that the financial institution or Operator that issues the stored card or providеs the bank account to Client, used for funding tranactions, may charge Client a fee and/or currency conversion fee in connection with the debiting or charging of the funding instrument resulting from the funding transaction. Client should consult the Terms and Conditions governing Client funding instrument for more information about any such fees. Satabank is not liable for taxes, fees or costs imposed by third parties.

Satabank will, on Client request, make efforts to trace the transaction and notify Client of the outcome. Where Client is entitled to redress, Satabank will refund the amount of the unauthorized transactions, less applicable fees as per Tariff, by crediting Client's account .
