If Volt becomes insolvent, claims of E-money holders will be paid from these funds in priority to all other creditors.
3.3. In each case the Merchant accepts that conversion rate used will be the rate used by Volt’s bank as indicated on the Volt Website.

Conversely, where the Merchant is the payer to a Payment Transaction that is executed late, the Merchant may ask Volt to request the recipient's PSP to credit value date the recipient's account as if the Payment Transaction had been executed correctly.

When making a payment to an E-money Account held with Volt the Merchant will be prompted to provide the recipient's account number.

Volt’s charges for revocation of a payment instruction are set out in the applicable fees list. If a Payment Transaction is made through a payment initiation service provider, the Merchant may not revoke the payment instruction after giving consent to the payment initiation service provider to initiate the payment.
8.4. If Volt declines to carry out an instruction, Volt will notify the Merchant where lawful to do so, by displaying a message on the Fuzebox Portal at the time Volt refuses to make the payment, and, if possible, will confirm the reason.
