Q: Is the Zeux account a bank account?
A: No. Zeux is an EMD Agent of Modulr. Zeux provides access to an e-money account and the associated payment services .
Q: How are my funds protected?
A: The funds are protected using a regulatory requirement named “safeguarding”.
One of the main differences between a bank and an EMD agent or EMI is that banks are allowed to use the money they receive from customers for their own business including to make loans and pay interest. EMIs are not permitted to do this. With EMIs and safeguarding, customer funds are always held with a regulated bank. One of the regulator’s (FCA) strict requirements is that EMIs are not allowed to use customer e-money funds for their own businesses or to lend to other customers, and that all EMIs must protect and ring-fence all of their customers’ funds in a segregated bank account, which is referred to as ‘safeguarding’. More information about how we protect your funds and about safeguarding can be found here.

Q: What happens if Zeux were to cease trading, am I FSCS protected?
A: Whilst Electronic Money products are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) your funds will be held in one or more segregated accounts and safeguarded in line with the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. In the unlikely event that we cease to trade, an administrator will be appointed to oversee the refund of customer e-money funds. There may be a short delay to accommodate this process, and some monies could be used to pay the administration costs, however customers should get most, if not all, their money back. Unlike the Government guaranteed bank insurance scheme, FSCS, there is no upper limit to the funds being safeguarded with an EMI. Therefore this means all your money is being protected, subject to the detail outlined above.
Q: I would like to provide feedback to help improve the services and customer experience. How can I do this?
