The transformed documentation package is outlined below:

  • All legal and commercial terms for Cash Management Services are found in:
    • The Master Account and Service Terms (MAST) and Confidentiality and Data Privacy Conditions (CDPC) for all accounts and services globally
    • Supplemental country terms to the MAST and CDPC in a Country Addendum in 42+ countries
    • Supplemental Service Terms for a limited number of Services
  • Security Procedures and other User Materials, e.g. Cash Management User Guide
