These funds received in accordance with a payment instruction will be subject to the segregation requirements as set out in the Electronic Money Regulations and are referred to as “Relevant Funds”. Relevant Funds are held in one of the dedicated client bank accounts that TCCL holds with a Tier-1 bank and are independent of TCCL’s business accounts. The purpose for holding funds in this manner, is to ensure that in the event of TCCL’s insolvency, or if a financial claim is made against TCCL, no creditor or claimant should be able to claim funds held in these accounts. This is because no other person or institution may have any rights or interest over the funds held in these accounts such as a lien over funds in these accounts.
