Mastercard holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 386837) and is authorised to deal in and provide general financial product advice in relation to non-cash payment products, such as the Card. Stables provide the digital wallet from which you can transfer amounts to the Card, to then spend as you would using any other card, and work closely with Mastercard to provide services relating to your Card. Mastercard has authorised us to deal in non-cash payment products, limited only to the Card, as its authorised representative. We have also been authorised by Mastercard to distribute this FSG. Mastercard has not authorised us to provide you with personal advice.
You may provide instructions to us via the mobile app or by email. Instructions received may require verification of your identity. Please refer to the PDS for further details.
As an authorised representative of Mastercard, we and our employees, agents and contractors are authorised to deal in the Card only. We are also authorised to provide services including dispute resolution.
Our employees are remunerated on a salary basis with some employees also receiving incentives based on sales of products and services. Mastercard’s employees are remunerated on a salary basis with performance incentives based on the overall financial performance of Mastercard, the performance of the Business Unit in which they operate and individual performance.
Mastercard’s remuneration consists of amounts paid to it by Stables for the servicing of the Cards.

In addition to information we collect about you as our customer, which is subject to the terms of our privacy policy (available at stables.money/privacy-policy) to provide an effective service in relation to the Card we may collect personal information about you on behalf of Mastercard.
