In order to use certain aspects of the Service (such as the facilitation of payments to payees), you are required to transfer funds to an account designated by us at a Service Provider, in an amount and manner specified by us (which may include ACH transfer, wire transfer, direct debit from your bank account, or another method). You will at all times ensure that such funds are sufficient to fund all payment transactions that you submit to the Service. Such funds are held on your behalf and we do not take title to such funds. Such funds may be co-mingled and held with other client funds in one or more pooled accounts. We have sole discretion over the establishment and maintenance of any such accounts.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you grant us a security interest in all funds held in the Reserve, and authorize us to make withdrawals from the Reserve to satisfy your obligations under these Terms.
