7. Product Overview • Gift Card Fees and Commissions • The system supports funds movement for fees and commissions in conjunction with regular funds movement or on a separate monthly date. • The system can support set amounts for general fees such as daily location and daily transaction fee billing. • The system also supports flexible fees and commissions for 8 routine gift card transactions: • - Activations / Void Activations • - Balance Inquiries / Timeout Reversals • - Redemptions / Void Redemptions • Reloads / Void Reloads • Fees and commission flexibility includes selection of: • - Approved transactions • - Declined transactions • - Flat fee per transaction • - % of transaction amount

8. Funds Movement First Data initiates ACH transactions to move funds to and from participating entity bank accounts. Funds move on business banking days, excluding bank holidays. Funds hit the bank account 2–3 days after the gift card activity occurred. During implementation, clients can select daily, weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly funds movement.

10. Online Exceptions and Manual Adjustments • Exceptions are financial gift card transactions for which funds cannot move. The • system displays exceptions and reason codes. There are 3 types of exceptions: • ACH Returns: Returned by the bank, e.g., NSF, stop payment, account closed, expired authorizations, debit filters. • ACH Rejects: Transaction fails before being sent to the bank, e.g., bad routing or transit number, previous exception with uncorrected error. • Not Settled: Transaction does not clear internal system business rules; unknown, missing or bad bank information; client or location information unknown or does not match information on file. When a transaction fails, the account is marked inactive until the record is fixed. Once the condition that caused any of the above exceptions is corrected, the transaction can be manually adjusted online. Funds then move for the transaction and for the account. Corporate users have access to manual adjustments. Manual adjustments allow documentation to create an appropriate audit trail. Note: The ‘location’ will need to correct ‘Returns’; corporate will need to correct ‘Rejects’ and ‘Not Settled’ reports.
