Smart Rules Terms

Version 2

  1. Smart Rules is a Curve Wallet feature that lets you set up a specific payment source to be the payment source when a transaction you are making with Curve Pay or your Curve Card meets certain conditions.

  2. Smart Rules can be set up in the Curve Wallet through the Launchpad section. You would then need to enable the feature and start setting up the different conditions that form part of your rule. Note that you won’t be able to use the Curve Cash Card for any of your rules. You can also create a priority list when creating the rules, and the rules will always run in the priority list order. If the transaction meets the criteria for the first rule – it will settle it using the payment source without going to the second rule. Therefore, please ensure that you have correctly prioritised your rules so that they meet your needs and do not have any detrimental consequences. 

  3. You have the option to completely delete the rule in your Curve Wallet in case it no longer meets your requirements. 

  4. The number of rules you can have depends on your subscription tier, and may be amended from time to time at Curve’s discretion. Please check out our Subscription Schedule (if you are a UK resident, see here, if you are an EEA resident, see here and if you are a Samsung Pay+ customer, see here) for further details. 

  5. If your Smart Rule seems to be overlapping with another one, the Curve Wallet will suggest a solution. However, Curve bears no responsibility to whether this will be suitable to, and meet, your needs. 

  6. Curve does not bear any responsibility if the Smart Rule does not work and we may at any time default to the card selected in your Curve Wallet if the transaction does not correctly meet the conditions laid out by you in the Curve Wallet. This is not an automation feature and is only a manner for you to select a payment source as a matter of convenience. 

  7. Please note, if you have your Anti-Embarrassment turned on then this will take priority over Smart Rules and if your Curve Cash is set to auto spend, your transaction will be taken out of your Curve Cash first. 

  8. Curve still retains the right to deny a transaction if it does not meet our eligibility criteria.
