B. Account Basics
- Opening the AccountImportant information about procedures for opening a new Account. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or business that opens an Account. We will ask for the name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify the Account Owner. We will also ask for other information related to the business entity, and Authorized Signers. If we are not able to validate the identity or authenticity of the Account Owner or the business entity to our satisfaction, we may not open the Account. We may not issue a Card or provide access to the Account if the identity of the Authorized Signer(s) cannot be validated.We may use information from, and share information with, third parties to help us determine if we should open an Account.
- Business Deposit AccountA business deposit account is a deposit account that is not held or maintained primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Examples of business deposit accounts include an account owned by an individual acting as a sole proprietor; a partnership; a limited partnership; a limited liability partnership; a limited liability company; a corporation; a joint venture; or a non-profit corporation.The Bento Business Deposit Account is a checkless demand deposit account to be used by a business entity to make payments and transfers to third parties using online services or the debit cards that are issued with the Account. Paper checks are not available for use with the Account.
- Authorized SignersThe Account Owner may add additional Authorized Signers to the Account during the application process or after the Account has been established. At any point in time, at Bento’s discretion, up to two (2) additional Authorized Signers may be listed on the Account. An Authorized Signer is a person who has actual or apparent authority to transact business on the Account, whether or not the Bank has a record of such person’s electronic signature on file. To add or remove an Authorized Signer from an Account, Account Owner must contact Bento at support@brinkstravelapp.com.The Bank may continue to recognize an Authorized Signer’s authority until it has received and has had a reasonable time to act upon a revocation or modification request from the Account Owner.
- Authorization and Indemnification Customer authorizes Bento and the Bank to view and obtain information about the Account. Customer also authorizes the Bank to provide information to Bento and its service providers about Account balances and transactions. Bento is authorized to transact on the Account as necessary for purposes of reconcilement, fee credits or debits, dispute related adjustments, and any other applicable accounting corrections.Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and Bento and to promptly pay on demand, any and all losses arising from actions taken by the Bank or Bento in accordance with this Agreement. These indemnifications shall apply, without limitation, to any losses arising from the dishonor of any check or other debit item.
- Compliance with Laws and Regulations Customer agrees to comply with all laws applicable to this Agreement, including regulations or ordinances, and orders of governmental and governing authorities, federal and state privacy laws, and anti-money laundering laws.

C. General Rules Governing the Business Deposit Account
The Account and Customer’s obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned. We may transfer our rights under this Agreement. Use of the Account is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any clearinghouse or other association involved in transactions. We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation of any governmental agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Delaware except to the extent governed by federal law.
- Funds AvailabilityInformation contained in this section is provided to assist Customer in understanding the Bank’s Funds Availability Policy. We make funds available according to the type of deposit and when the funds are applied, or credited to the Account. Some types of deposits may not be available for immediate use. When the Bank delays the availability of funds or place a hold on a deposit made to the Account, Customer may not withdraw those funds, and we will not use them to pay any debits, such as Card transactions during the hold period. We have the right to refuse any deposit.If final payment is not received on any item deposited into the Account, or if any direct depositor ACH Credit is returned to us for any reason, Customer agrees to pay us the amount of the returned item.AvailabilityThe length of delay in the availability of funds varies depending on the type of deposit.Business DaysThe length of delay in the availability of funds is counted in business days from the day a Customer deposit is applied to the Account. For purposes of determining the availability of Customer deposits, every day is a “business day” except Saturday, Sundays and federal holidays.Same-Day AvailabilityFunds from Wire Transfers, preauthorized ACH Credits received through the ACH network such as direct deposits, or other preauthorized electronic payments will be available on the effective date of the deposit. ACH Credits initiated from the Website, the Mobile App, or via SMS text messaging are processed through a third party. IMPORTANT: funds associated with ACH Credits transferred through a third party, i.e., a “Brink’s Travel+Expense Transfer,” are ineligible for FDIC insurance coverage until such funds have been received by the Bank.
- Deposits to the AccountThe minimum opening deposit amount required to fund a new Account is $10.00. The payee name on any direct deposit(s) or ACH Credit(s) we receive must match the Customer name or the name of the Account Owner or an Authorized Signer. If such deposits are received in a name other than the name of the Customer, the Account Owner or an Authorized Signer, they may be returned to the originator.Deposits may be made to the Account using any of these methods:
Transaction Type Frequency and/or Dollar Limits Direct deposit or ACH Credit initiated from an external financial institution* No limit to the number of transactions per day No maximum dollar limit
Wire transfer No limit to the number of transactions per day No maximum dollar limit
Brink’s Travel + Expense Transfer, i.e., a funds transfer initiated from the Bento sponsored Website, Mobile App or SMS* 3 transactions per day; up to $5,000.00, between all linked external accounts * The payee name on any direct deposit(s) or ACH Credit(s) we receive must match the business name on the Account or the name of the Account Owner or Authorized Signer. If such deposits are received in a name other than the name registered to the Account, the Account Owner, or Authorized Signer they will be returned to the originator. - Bank by Mail Deposits Are Not AcceptedPersonal checks, cashier’s checks, money orders, foreign currency and cash sent to the Bank are not accepted forms of deposit. We are not liable for any deposits lost in the mail, lost in transit or not received by us. All deposits sent by mail to the Bank will be returned unless the full amount may be applied towards a negative balance, in which case the check or money order must be payable in U.S. dollars and may or may not be deposited to the Account at the discretion of the Bank.
- Preauthorized TransfersThe 13-digit Account number and the bank routing number cannot be used for preauthorized direct debits (“ACH Debit”) by merchants, and internet service or other utility service providers (“Merchants”). If presented for payment, such ACH Debits will be declined and payment to the Merchant(s) will not be made. The 13-digit Account number and the bank routing number are to be used only for the purpose of initiating direct deposits to the Account (“ACH Credit”). ACH Credit transfers will be processed under the Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) and Customer agrees to comply with the NACHA rules. Additional information regarding preauthorized transfers is available in Section G, titled “Electronic Funds Transfer Disclosure and Special Terms and Conditions.”
- Direct deposits or ACH Credits using an external account at another financial institutionThe payee name on any direct deposit(s) or ACH Credit(s) we receive must match the business name on the Account or the name of the Account Owner or Authorized Signer. If such deposits are received in a name other than the name registered to the Account, the Account Owner, or Authorized Signer will be returned to the originator.
- ATM DepositsATM deposits are not permitted.
- Deposit CorrectionsIf funds are incorrectly deposited or transferred to the Account, we may correct the error by deducting the amount of the incorrect deposit from the Account without prior notice to Customer. If there are not enough funds in the Account at that time, the Account could become overdrawn. See the section below titled “No Overdrafts” for more information about what occurs if the Account has a negative balance.
- No OverdraftsThe Account may not be overdrawn. If the available balance in the Account is insufficient to cover any authorized payment or withdrawal, we can refuse to honor the payment or withdrawal. If the Account balance should become negative for any reason, a deposit or deposits must be immediately made to cover the negative balance. If the Account has a negative balance for ninety (90) calendar days it will be closed.
- Levies, Garnishments, and Other Legal Processes If the Account becomes subject to legal action, such as a tax levy or third-party garnishment, we reserve the right to refuse to pay any money from the Account, including Card transactions, or other items presented for payment, until the action is resolved. If we are required to pay an attachment, garnishment or tax levy, we are not liable to Customer. Payment is made after satisfying any fees, charges or other debts owed to us. Until we receive the appropriate court documents, we may continue to process transactions against the Account, even if we have received an unofficial notification of an adverse claim. Customer will indemnify us for any losses if we do this.
- Account Dormancy and EscheatmentIf the Account is inactive for a period of time it may be considered dormant and subject to escheatment. Each state has varying laws as to when the funds in the Account will be subject to escheatment and we may be required to send the funds in the Account to the state of Customer’s last known address. We will make all reasonable efforts to contact Customer before transferring the remaining funds of the Account to the applicable state. If the Account has an unknown or international address, the funds will be transferred to the State of Delaware.
- Periodic StatementsPeriodic statements for the Account will be available electronically via the Website to Customer each month and are deemed delivered once available. Customer must carefully review the statement each statement period and notify us of any discrepancies within thirty (30) days of the statement becoming available. Any Authorized Signer may request a paper copy of a periodic statement by calling 1 (844) 753-7586, or by sending an email to support@brinkstravelapp.com.

Customer agrees to maintain adequate backup files of the data it submits for a reasonable period of time in order to facilitate any needed reconstruction or reprocessing of Customer’s transactions (e.g., due to a telecommunication failure). If Bank and/or Bento are unable to provide a processing service for any reason, reasonable steps to resume processing will be taken within a reasonable timeframe.
- Unauthorized Transactions and Errors. The Bank’s security procedures are not designed for the detection of errors (e.g. duplicate payments or errors contained in Customer instructions). We will not be obligated to detect errors made by Customer, Authorized Signers, or others, even if certain actions are taken from time to time to do so. It is Customer’s responsibility to notify Bento immediately at 1 (844) 753-7586 upon belief that any security information (such as user IDs, passwords, or other credentials) has been lost, stolen or otherwise made available to an unauthorized person, or that someone has viewed, downloaded, or deleted electronic records from the Account without Customer’s permission, or if Customer or an Authorized Signer suspects any fraudulent or unauthorized activity (including errors) on the Account.

Customer’s failure to promptly report to the Bank within such specified time the existence of any discrepancies in any record or other information constitutes Customer’s acceptance of the record or other information as valid and accurate and may preclude Customer from asserting against the Bank any claims arising from or any loss caused by the discrepancy.
- Limitations of the Bank’s Liability and Obligations to Customer. In the performance of the services required by this Agreement, the Bank shall be entitled to rely solely on the information, representations and warranties provided by Customer and Authorized Signers pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, the Bank shall be responsible only for performing the services expressly provided for in this Agreement, and shall be liable only in the event of loss due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing those services. In no event shall the Bank have any liability for any consequential, special, incidental, punitive or indirect loss or damage which Customer may incur or suffer in connection with this Agreement, whether or not the likelihood of such damages was known or contemplated by the Bank and regardless of the legal or equitable theory of liability Customer may assert. The Bank is not liable for any damages Customer may incur due to a delay in Bento providing the Bank with any notices or information Bento receives from Customer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable for and the Bank shall be excused from failing to act or delay in acting if such failure or delay is caused by legal constraint, interruption of transmission or communications facilities, equipment failure, war, act of terror, emergency conditions, or other conditions beyond Bank’s control. To the extent allowed by law, the Bank shall not be liable for and shall be excused from failing to process or any delay in processing a transfer of funds (i) if, in the Bank’s sole discretion, processing a transfer would violate or contribute to the violation of any law, regulation or regulatory requirement; or (ii) if processing a transfer, in the Bank’s sole discretion, would cause it to engage in an unsafe and unsound practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event will the Bank’s liability for any loss, cost, or liability arising from the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct exceed the average monthly charge for the Account-related services in question for the month preceding the date or loss, except as otherwise required by UCC Article 4A. Any claim, action or proceeding by Customer to enforce the terms of this Agreement or to recover for any Account-related loss must be commenced within one year from the date that the event giving rise to the claim, action or proceeding first occurs. Customer agrees to cooperate with the Bank in any loss recovery efforts the Bank undertakes to reduce any loss or liability that arises in connection with the Account. Customer acknowledges any fees have been established in contemplation of: (a) these limitations on the Bank’s liability; (b) Customer’s agreement to review statements, confirmations, and notices promptly and to notify Bank immediately of any discrepancies or problems; and (c) Customer’s agreement to assist the Bank in any loss recovery efforts.

Using the Brink’s Travel + Expense Business Debit Mastercard
The Brink’s Travel + Expense Debit Mastercard is provided for use with the Account. A Card will be issued to the Account Owner (“Primary Cardholder”). Upon receipt of instructions from the Account Owner, Cards may also be issued to each Authorized Signer and other designated persons such as Customer employees (“Secondary Cardholder”). (Primary Cardholder and Secondary Cardholder shall be collectively referred to as “Cardholder” unless otherwise stated).
Secondary Cardholders who are Customer employees, i.e., not an Authorized Signer, are limited to making qualifying purchases with the Card and are not permitted to exercise the authority granted to the Account Owner and Authorized Signers, as described above in Sections B3 and B4. Customer acknowledges and agrees that funds accessible through use of the Card(s) is limited to the available funds of the Account and that individual transaction limits may be established for each Card issued to a Cardholder. Customer agrees to direct each Cardholder to sign the back of the Card immediately upon its receipt. The expiration date of the Card is identified on the front of it. The Card is the property of the Bank and must be surrendered upon demand. The Card is nontransferable and it may be cancelled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law.
- Activate the Card The Card must be activated before it can be used. The Card may be activated by calling 1 (844) 753-7586 or by visiting www.brinkstravelapp.com. Each Cardholder will need to provide personal information in order for their identity to be verified.
- Personal Identification Number Each Cardholder may create a unique Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) to use with the Card. The PIN may be created by calling 1 (844) 753-7586 or by other methods which may be made available at our discretion. The Card must be activated before the PIN can be used. See the Card activation instructions in the section titled “Activate the Card.” Do not write or keep a PIN with the related Card. The PIN should never be shared with anyone. Cardholder should not enter the PIN so it can be observed by others; Cardholder should not enter the PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious. If a Cardholder believes someone has gained unauthorized access to their PIN, advise Bento immediately.
- Authorized UsersCustomer is responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of each Card we issue. If an individual is permitted access to a Card, Card number(s) or PIN, we will treat this as if Customer authorized such use and Customer will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by those persons. Customer is wholly responsible for use of the Card according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
- Cash AccessOnly the Primary Cardholder may use the Card to withdraw cash from any Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) or any Point-of-Sale (“POS”) device, as permissible by a merchant that bears the Mastercard®, Maestro®, or Interlink® Acceptance Mark. ATM transactions are treated as cash withdrawal transactions. Secondary Cardholders do not have access to cash. These are the limits associated with the withdrawal of cash using the Card:
Transaction Type Frequency and/or Dollar Limits** Cash Withdrawal (ATM)* No limit to the number of times per day;$500.00 per transaction; up to $500.00 per day Cash Back at POS* No limit to the number of times per day;$500.00 per transaction; up to $500.00 per day *ATM Owner-Operators, merchants and participating banks may impose their own fees and lower limits on cash withdrawals.**Limits may change based on the length of time the Account has been open, transaction history, and overall Account standing. - Transaction Limitations There are two (2) types of purchase transaction limitations associated with using Cards: (a) purchase transaction limits we establish and (b) individual Card purchase transaction limits established and managed by the Customer. These are the purchase transaction limits for the Account.
Transaction Type Frequency and/or Dollar Limits Card Purchase (Signature and PIN) No limit to the number of times per day$25,000.00 per transaction up to $25,000.00 per day *Individual Card purchase limits are established by the Account Owner and/or Authorized Signers and may change based on the length of time the Account has been open, transaction history, and overall Account standing. The Cardholder may use the Card to purchase or lease goods or services everywhere Debit Mastercard is accepted as long as transactions do not exceed the available balance of the Account and other restrictions (see examples described below) do not apply. Some merchants do not allow customers to conduct split transactions where the Card is used as partial payment for goods and services and the remainder of the balance is paid with another form of legal tender. If the Cardholder wishes to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, the merchant must be told to charge only the exact amount of funds available on the Account to the Card. The Cardholder must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If the Cardholder fails to inform the Merchant complete a split transaction prior to swiping or dipping the Card, the Card is likely to be declined.
If the Cardholder uses the 16-digit Card number without presenting the Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if the Cardholder had used the Card itself. Card restrictions include, but are not limited to: restricted geographic or merchant locations where there is a higher risk of fraud or illegal activity; restrictions to comply with laws or prevent our liability; and other restrictions to prevent fraud and other losses. For security reasons, we may, with or without prior notice, limit the type, amount, or number of transactions the Cardholder may make with the Card. The Card may not be used for illegal online gambling or any other illegal transaction. We may increase, reduce, cancel, or suspend any of the restrictions or add new ones at any time. The Card cannot be redeemed for cash.
If a Cardholder uses the Card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”), the transaction may be preauthorized for an amount up to $100.00 or more. If the Card is declined, even though the Account sufficient funds available, the Cardholder should pay for their purchase inside with the cashier. If a Cardholder uses the Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the transaction may be preauthorized for the purchase amount plus up to 20% or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. A preauthorization places a hold on those available funds until the Merchant sends us the final payment amount of a Cardholder purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed. It may take up to seven (7) days for the hold to be removed. During the hold period, Customer will not have access to the preauthorized amount.
All transactions relating to car rentals may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days.
Each time a Cardholder uses the Card, Customer authorizes us to reduce the value available in the Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. A Cardholder is not allowed to exceed the available amount in the Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available in the Account, Customer shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. See paragraph 8 of Section C (“No Overdrafts”) for additional details if the Account balance becomes negative.
Neither Customer nor a Cardholder has the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of the Card. If a Cardholder authorizes a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days.
- Transactions Made In Foreign CurrenciesIf a Cardholder obtains funds or makes a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which the Account is denominated and the Card was issued, the amount deducted from the funds will be converted by Mastercard International Incorporated into an amount in the currency of the Account and Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Mastercard International Incorporated from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Mastercard International Incorporated itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. If a Cardholder obtains funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which the Card was issued, the Bank may assess a foreign currency conversion fee of 3% of the transaction amount and will retain this amount as compensation for its services. Transactions made outside the fifty (50) U.S. states and the District of Columbia are also subject to this conversion fee even if they are completed in U.S. currency.
- ReceiptsCardholders should get a receipt at the time of a transaction using the Card. Customer is responsible for retaining, verifying, and reconciling all Card transactions and receipts.
- Card ReplacementIf a Cardholder needs to replace a Card for any reason except at Card expiration, the Cardholder should contact 1 (844) 753-7586 to request a replacement Card. The Cardholder seeking a replacement card will be required to provide personal information, which may include, for example, the Cardholder’s full name, transaction history, or copies of acceptable identification documentation. Replacement Cards will be mailed to Customer.
- Card ExpirationThe Card expires no earlier than the “Valid Thru” date printed on the front of it. The Card cannot be used after the expiration date; however, a replacement Card will automatically be mailed to Customer prior to the expiration of the soon-to-expire Card.
