Can I open a Profee account?

You must be 18 or over to open a Profee account. We do not currently offer accounts to minors. When you ask us to open an account, we or someone acting for us will ask for information about you and where the money you will put in your account comes from. We do this for a number of reasons, including to check your identity, and to meet our legal and regulatory requirements. Our Privacy Policy explains more about how we use your information for these and other purposes. When we have the information we need, we will open your account.

You can’t:

  • open more than one Profee personal account;
  • open a new Profee account if we’ve previously closed your Profee account.

What is the age limit?

Individuals who wish to open a Profee account must be at least 18 years old.

How is my personal data protected?

To provide services under the agreement we need to collect information about you. Under data protection law, we are what is known as the ‘data controller’ of your personal information. For more information about how we use your personal information, see our “Privacy Policy”.

Our policies and procedures are designed to protect both your confidentiality and the security of your information, including your private personal information. We store and process your personal information using third-party servers located in secure data centres, that are protected by firewalls and have restricted access in compliance with applicable regulations. All data passed between Profee mobile apps, our servers, and third parties use certain SSL encryption protocols.

Profee is PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider certified, that ensured the security of card data according to the international standards.

What type of account is created for me?

Your account can be thought of as a Digital account that holds your e-money. It may hold e-money in different currencies at the same time (currently we support Euro, US Dollar, Pound Sterling and Russian Rouble). These balances can be accessed simultaneously.

When you give us money, we’ll issue an equivalent value of e-money in the currency you choose. We’ll store the e-money in your account and other people will accept it as payment.

Currently, your account is not linked to a unique IBAN number like the case with banks. You are rather given your own unique Profee account number. You do not need to remember this number in order to execute a payment.

How to come up with a strong password?

Secure password is the best way to protect your account!

  • Secure password contains at least 8 characters.
  • To make the password longer, you can write your favourite recipe in one line like: 3Eggs-1tspOil-1tspButter.
  • Use both uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, you can MiX uPpErCaSe AnD lOwErCaSe.
  • Do not forget about numbers — try mixing the event and its date like: A1p9O6l9Lo!
  • Make sure to add special characters, too. You can use them inste@d of letter$ or just add a smiley :)

What types of accounts are there at Profee?

We offer two types of accounts: Personal and Merchant.

A personal account can only be opened under the name of a natural or legal person for his/her personal use. It is prohibited to use this account for commercial purposes (for the interest of a legal entity).

A merchant account is registered under a legal entity to accept/send payments for goods, services, or any other work performed for commercial purposes. When applying for this account the details of the company, the company’s authorised representative(s) and signatory(ies), as well as relevant copies of the corporate documents will be required.

What are the account levels?

There are three levels of Profee accounts: “Basic”, “Plus” and “Premium”. Stepping up a level gives you higher limits and more functionalities.

All account levels are offered for free. In order to upgrade your level, you have to provide us with additional information.

The “Basic” level is available upon registration, thus giving you the opportunity to try our service. immediately after creating your account online.A “Basic” level will give you a spending limit within Profee of €150 (or the equivalent currency) per month.

In order to upgrade your account to “Plus”, we need you to confirm your personal data. When applying for an upgrade, you are required to submit documents to support your identity and address. By having a “Plus” level of account, you are eligible to issue a Prepaid Digital card, which is directly linked to your wallet. At the same time, a “Plus” account will give you access to more Profee functions limited to an annual limit of €15 000 (or the equivalent currency).

For the “Premium” level, you have to additionally provide us with information on the source of your funds.

You can learn more here.

What are Basic accounts?

All Customers who register with Profee receive a “Basic” account. Basic accounts allow you to deposit quickly and transfer funds to any online merchant or to friends and family. However, to take full advantage of Profee services, including higher limits and most importantly eligibility for the issuance of a Prepaid Digital card, you will need to upgrade the level of your account.

The lifetime funding limit of a “Basic” account is €150/month (or the equivalent currency). This means that the sum of all credits into your account each month cannot exceed €150 (or the equivalent currency) including any deposits, transfers from other websites or transfers from friends. In addition to the cumulative lifetime funding limit, “Basic” account holders also have lifetime limits for each of various types of transactions. At the same time, withdrawal transactions from a “Basic” account out of the Profee ecosystem are limited to €50 per transaction.

Why do I need to verify my identity?

You need to verify your identity in order to increase your account level and be able to use your Profee account more broadly. This approach is in line with a regulation used extensively in the financial services community and is commonly known as ’Know Your Customer’ (KYC). This is the process of a business verifying the identity of its clients. It is simply an anti-corruption and anti-fraud measure. It further enhances security and gives the company the ability to serve you better.

Why do you ask for my documents?

We are regulated and authorised by the Central Bank of Cyprus. As a regulated electronic money institution, we need to know who is using our system. That’s the main reason we ask you to provide proof of your identification and proof of your address. This makes things more secure for all members by helping to prevent fraud or identity theft.

How long does it take to upgrade the account level?

To review your application for an upgraded account, we need to check your submitted documents, which usually takes from 1 to 5 business days.

What are the limits in Profee?

Profee applies two types of limits. These are time limits (24hrs, monthly and annual) and transaction type limits (top-up/withdrawal). The limits define the amount and type of a transaction that can be executed in a day/month/year. Thus, limits may change based on each account level and specific transaction types.

The limits on your account depend on the account you maintain. The higher the account level the higher the available limits.

All new users receive a “Basic” account. Customers may then upgrade to a “Plus” account which offers more features and benefits, including higher limits. Thus, holders of a “Basic” account can only transact with up to €150/month (or the equivalent currency) whereas holders of a “Premium” account can transact up to €100.000 per year (or the equivalent currency). These, however, are generic limits.

Please sign in to your Profee account to review your own specific limits.

You can find out more about this on our “Account levels” page.

How to log in to my account?

You can log in to your account from the Profee website or the mobile app using the mobile phone number provided during registration, along with your password.

I cannot log in. An error message appears. What to do?

If you already have an account with Profee, you’ve tried logging into you account but did not succeed it may be because you forgot your login details. In that case follow our automatic password recovery option.

Operations

Wire transfer

If you chose to withdraw funds from your Profee account with a wire transfer, we would like to inform you that we have to check and approve the said account before we execute the transfer. In that respect, one of our executives may contact you in order to provide further supporting evidence.

Please note that the minimum acceptable amount for the wire transfer is specified in Schedule 1 to the User Agreement (plus any bank charges and/or fees).

The maximum amount for each transfer, however, is based on the daily/annual limit of your account maintained with Profee.

Thus, if the transferred amount exceeds your respective limits you will be required to pass through a verification procedure. In the event that you refuse to comply with this requirement, the transaction will not be processed by Profee. The funds will be maintained in our Client Funds’ Accounts until the verification procedure is completed. Please note that you maintain every right to cancel this transaction if you wish.

Please also note that your banking institution may charge you for performing this transfer.

We would also like to stress out that a wire transfer is not equivalent to an online payment. As such the funds may need up to five (5) business days to reach your bank account. The balance of your Profee account, however, will be reduced soon after the request for a withdrawal via wire transfer is placed into the system.

We further inform you that Sibilla Solutions Ltd does not accept to execute any wire transfer to a banking institution based in any of the countries identified as high risk by the FATF or the EU or the US or the UN in terms of facilitating Money Laundering or Terrorist Financing. Therefore, any transfer targeted to these countries will be blocked and not executed.

It is very rare, but once in a while a merchant might not be able to locate money you have transferred to them. This may be caused by communication errors.

Please contact our Customer Support at help@profee.com if this happens. We can locate your transaction and provide you with the relevant transaction ID to confirm that the merchant actually received the funds.

  6. The card issuer has declined the transaction for security reasons, or reaching pre-set limits, etc. In these cases, contact your bank or card issuer.
