Why do we keep your money in separate a ‘safeguarding bank account’?
- To ensure your money is kept apart from GlobePay’s operational funds.
- To make sure that the bank cannot use your money.
- In the case of insolvency, client funds are returned timely and in full.
- To ensure third parties do not have access to your funds.
