Take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions about Canal Walk's Gift Cards. If you aren't able to find exactly what you're looking for here, then send us a message and we'll give you all the information you need.
Why do we ask for your name and ID?
As use of the MasterCard Gift Card is considered a financial transaction and the Gift Card is issued by a bank, this is a requirement in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act of 2001 (FICA).
FICA was enacted to combat money laundering.
Whilst this is inconvenient to innocent people such as yourselves, this is a legal requirement and can be seen as assisting in the combating of crime.
This allows Canal Walk and its management to fulfill its requirements in terms of the FICA legislation.
What will we do with your personal details?
These WILL NOT be disclosed to any third party unless required in terms of FICA legislation.
What if I'm not willing to provide these details?
Your details are required for us to comply with FICA and unfortunately should you not be able to provide these we are not able to sell you a Gift Card.
What is required?
In the case on an individual we require your full names and a valid South African ID number or passport number.
In the case of a company we require the company name and company registration number.
