For the avoidance of doubt, Steadfast does not make any representation or warranty to Customers that the exchange rate quoted will be the best available rate and/or that the exchange rate quoted will be the Exchange Rate applied to the Transaction Request. Upon making the Transaction Request, Customers shall be deemed to have accepted prevailing Exchange Rate as determined by Steadfast in its absolute discretion and Steadfast will not entertain any dispute or requests for refunds arising from the Exchange Rate.

The money is deposited in SGD (or in SGD equivalent), or held in the exact currency in a dedicated and segregated customer account held by Steadfast with DBS Bank Ltd (DBS) and RHB Bank Berhad (RHB) as our safeguarding institutions. Steadfast does not offer or charge interest on the monies in customers’ balances with us, and interest on monies held on trust are not payable to customers. Such customer accounts are kept separate from the accounts used to operate Steadfast, and the monies held in such accounts are not subject to claims by our creditors. Customers’ money may be commingled with money received from other customers. Customers understand and accept that the risk of such commingling is that they may potentially be exposed to the losses of other customers as the monies are deposited together with and commingled in the same account. In the event that Steadfast becomes insolvent, Customers may claim their money from these customer accounts. Customers may not get back all their money if the money in the accounts is insufficient, or if any of the safeguarding institutions become insolvent. |
4.5 |

In so doing, Steadfast shall be free on behalf of the Customer to transfer or procure the transfer of funds by mail, telex, cable, SWIFT or any other means as it deems fit and to make use of any correspondent, sub-agent or other third party but in no case will Steadfast or any of its correspondents or agents be liable for mutilation, interruptions, omissions, errors or delay occurring in the electronic transmission, wire, cable, or mails, or on the part of any postal authority, telegraph, cable or wireless company, or any employee of such authority or through any other cause. Customers acknowledge that in order for any Beneficiary to successfully receive funds via the Service the Beneficiary must also be eligible to use relevant third party services in the Territory, including banking services and cash out agent services as the case may be. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that their intended Beneficiaries are eligible to do so, and comply with all applicable terms relating to such third party services. |
