renewals or substit utions we issue. The words, "you," "your," and "yours" mean all cardholders (borrowers and co - 
borrowers); anyone any cardholder permits to use the Card(s); as well as any authorized user for whom an  additional 
Card(s) is issued to the extent of their purc hases, balance transfers, and cash advances, as well as transactions by 
anyone they permit to use the Card(s). The word "cardholder" means any applicant or co -applicant to whom a Card

Security Agreement : "Non-Purchase -Money Security Interests" Payments on your Account are secured by any 
security interest in any property securing your other obligations to the Credit Union, whether existing now or in the 
future, except your household goods and your primary residence. " Purchase -Money Security Interests" You hereby 
grant Credit Union security interest in all property purchased/acquired by you or any authorized user pursuant to the 
use of this Account, including a purchase -money security interest in any household goods purchased/acquired with 
an extension of credit up on this Account. These Purchase -Money Security Interests shall secure faithful performance 
of all obligations arising under this Agreement; and the Credit Union shall have all of the rights of a secured party in 
accordance with Article Nine of the Uniform Commercial Code and/or other applicable law.  
1. Using Your Account. You can purchase or lease goods and services ("Purchases") from any merchant who 
honors your Card up to your maximum credit limit by presenting your Card and signing a sales receipt or writin g a 
Convenience Check for the amount of the Purchase. You may also use the Card to obtain Cash Advances up to your 
maximum credit limit from financial institutions that accept the MasterCard credit card, and by use of preprinted 
Convenience Checks that the  Credit Union may issue to you. You authorize us to honor any Purchase or Cash 
Advance you make by telephone, internet or mail on this account. You agree that a signature is not necessary as 
identification in such cases. You agree not to present your Card,  obtain a Cash Advance or write a Convenience 
Check for any extension of credit in excess of your available Credit Limit (the difference between your outstanding

YOU EXECUTE A SEPARATE SECURITY AGREEMENT. Any provisions of th e Agreement (below) that 
address the items expressly excepted in any section to the contrary also do not apply to such Loans .  South Carolina Federal Credit Union  
WORLD  MASTERCARD  CREDI T CARD  APPLICATION  AND  DISCLOSURE  Jan 1, 20 22  3. Maximum Credit Limit. Your Maximum Credit Limit will appear on the folder in which you receive your Card and 
on your monthly statement. The credit limit is based on your creditworthiness and our underwriting standa rds. At our 
discretion, we may change your credit limit at any time, and may provide separate limits for purchases and for cash 
advances. We will notify you if we do, either by mail or through your monthly billing statement. You may request a 
change to you r credit limit by contacting the Credit Union by telephone or mail. Your continued use of the card will 
show your agreement to any such increase. If you object to an increase in your credit limit, you must notify the Credit 
Union in writing. Upon receipt o f such notice, your credit limit will be reduced to its prior limit; however, you will be 
responsible to pay any amounts by which you have exceeded the reduced limit. You agree to pay any amounts you 
owe that exceed your maximum credit balance upon demand.  You agree we are not obligated to extend to you credit 
for any amount that would cause your outstanding balance to exceed your Maximum Credit Limit, or for any amount if 
your outstanding balance already exceeds your Maximum Credit Limit. Any increase in y our Maximum Credit Limit 
requested by you will require you to make a new application for our approval. In assessing your credit limit under the 
provisions in this Section (either at our discretion or upon request): (a) we may and you authorize us to review  your 
credit history, including consumer credit reports; (b) you authorize us to have this review made by third parties to 
determine whether you meet the criteria we have set for such an increase; and (c) this process shall not be pre - 
screening under the Fair Credit Reporting  Act or other applicable laws or regulations based on our existing relationship 
and this  Agreement.  
ATM and Over -the-Counter Cash Advance Limits. Advances at authorized ATM's are limited to a total of $1010.00 
during any 24 -hour period . Over -the Counter cash advances are limited to three per day and based on your credit limit.  
4. Finance Charges.  You agree to pay the FINANCE CHARGE on your account. A FINANCE CHARGE computed 
on a monthly periodic rate ("MPR") will begin to accrue for new Purchases, if you do not pay the New Balance in full 
within 25 days after the billing date of the statement on which the new Purchases first appear according to the Grace 
Period  above.  For Cash  Advance(s)  (including Overdraft Advances) and Balance  Transfer(s),  a FINANCE  CHARGE  
computed  on a monthly  periodic rate ("MPR") will begin to accrue on the transaction date. For purchases (except as 
provided above), a FINANCE CHARGE computed on an MPR will begin to accrue on the transaction date or the first 
day of the billing cycle, whichever  is later.  FINANCE  CHARGES  on Cash  Advance(s)  (including Overdraft 
Advances) , Balance  Transfer(s)  and Purchases  will continue  to be imposed until you have paid any outstanding 
balance in full. The Credit Union calculates the FINANCE CHARGE as follows:  
a. The FINANCE CHARGE will be figured by a pplying the monthly periodic rate to the average daily 
balance of Purchases, Balance transfers, and Cash Advances  (including O verdraft Advances) . Your 
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is determined  based  on your  creditworthiness  and will be provided  to 
you separately  either  in writing  or electronically at the time your credit card is  approved.  
 
APR = Prime + Margin, 18% Maximum  
Prime Rate + 8. 99% 
Prime Rate + 10. 99% 
Prime Rate + 12. 99% 
Prime Rate + 14. 49% 
 
 
RATES ARE VARIABLE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Rates for Cash Advances (including O verdraft 
Advances) are not variable . Maximum APR is 18%. Your ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE (APR) for Purchases 
and Balance Transfers, will be calculated by adding a margin from above to the Prime rate as correctly 
published in the Wall Street Journal as of  the Wednesday immediately preceding the billing cycle. The Credit 
Union may adjust the rate once each month effective the first day of the billing cycle. APR changes will reflect on 
the following month�s statement.  
b. To get the total average  daily balance  on your Account,  we take the beginning  balance  of your Account  each 
day, add any new Purchases  and Cash  Advances  (including Overdraft Advances) , unpaid  Finance  
Charges,  current  late payment  fees,  and other fees, and subtract any payments or credits. This is your 
daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide that total by the number 
of days in the billing cycle. This gives you the average daily balance. This d etermines the balance subject 
to the FINANCE  CHARGE.  
5. Convenience Checks. At our option, we may offer convenience checks. Any individual cardholder or authorized 
user can use your Convenience Checks to purchase goods and services or to obtain cash up to the  amount of your 
available credit limit. Credit Union will treat Convenience Checks as Cash Advances and will charge them against 
your credit limit. Credit Union may decline to honor a Convenience Check if you are over your credit limit, you are in 
default,  your account privileges have been canceled, or your Card has expired. If we decline to honor a  Convenience 
Check, Credit Union may charge you a fee, which the Credit Union will add to your account balance. Convenience 
Checks may be used only by the person  whose name is printed on them. You may not use Convenience Checks to 
pay any amount you owe the Credit Union under this or any other credit agreement with the Credit Union. Credit 
Union will not certify any Convenience Checks, nor will the Credit Union re turn paid Convenience Checks to you. It  is 
in the Credit Union's sole discretion to issue Convenience Checks to any  member.   South Carolina Federal Credit Union  
WORLD  MASTERCARD  CREDI T CARD  APPLICATION  AND  DISCLOSURE  Jan 1, 20 22  Stopping payment of a Convenience Check. You may ask us to stop payment of a convenience check by calling 
us at (800) 845-0432 . You may be charged a stop payment fee/a stop payment fee may be added to your account 
balance. Your stop payment request will be effective permanently. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to 
stop payment on your convenience check. However , you agree that convenience checks are credit transactions; and 
that we will not be responsible in any way if the convenience check that you have requested us to stop payment on is 
cashed or otherwise presented for payment and, using commercially reasonab le efforts, we are unable to stop 
payment. You agree that the UCC does not apply to a convenience check.  
6. Additional Charges for Transactions in a Foreign Currency and "Cross -Border" Transactions. 
Currency Conversion Fee: If you effect or authorize a transa ction with your access device in a currency other than 
US Dollars, even if you are physically located within the United States when you effect or authorize the transaction, 
MasterCard will convert the charge into a US Dollar amount. The MasterCard currency  conversion procedure 
includes use of either a government mandated exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange rate selected by 
MasterCard, as applicable. The exchange rate MasterCard uses will be a rate in effect on the day the transaction is 
processed. This r ate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the purchase or the date the transaction was 
posted to your account. A Currency Conversion Fee of up to 1% may be applied to transactions that are converted 
from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars. Cross -Border Transaction Fee: In addition, MasterCard charges us a 
Cross -Border  Assessment  up to 1% on each  transaction  on all cross -border  transactions  regardless  of whether  there 
is a currency conversion. For purposes of this Section, "cross -border trans action" shall include both (a) transactions 
initiated in a foreign country, which are subsequently settled in the United States, and (b) transactions initiated in the 
United States but are ultimately settled in a country outside of the United States. The C redit Union may, in its 
discretion,  assess these fees to you to reimburse it for the fee it is required to pay for each of your transactions 
subject to these terms. The Cross -Border Transaction fee(s) , if assessed, will be shown separately on your periodic  
billing statement(s). The Currency Conversion  Fee, if it applies  to the transaction,  will be included  in the transaction  
amount  posted  on your statement.  
7. Merchant Disputes . The Credit Union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution  to 
honor your Card except as set forth in the Special Rules for Credit Card Purchases set forth at the end of this 
Agreement.  
8. Illegal Transactions. You warrant and agree that your Credit Card, other access device or any related 
account  will not be used  to make  or facilitate  any illegal  transaction(s)  as determined  by applicable  law; and 
that any such use, including any such authorized use, will constitute an event of default under this 
Agreement. Certain federal and/or state laws or Card Service  Providers� Rules may limit or prohibit certain 
transactions such as (but not limited to) those coded as possible gambling transactions. The Credit Union 
may decline to accept, process or pay any transaction that we believe to be illegal or unenforceable 
(regarding your obligation to pay us or otherwise) under applicable law; or which is otherwise limited or 
prohibited, including but not limited to any transaction involving or relating to any gambling activity. Such 
prohibition or limitations may affect som e otherwise proper or allowable transactions such as charges 
incurred at a hotel -casino. You understand and agree such limitations/prohibitions are not within the Credit 
Union�s control and that the Credit Union will not have any liability, responsibility or culpability whatsoever 
for any such use by you or any authorized user(s); or for declining to accept, process, or pay any such 
transaction. You further agree to indemnify and hold the Credit Union harmless from any suits, liability, 
damages or adverse a ction of any kind that results directly or indirectly from any such use of your account 
and/or access  devices . 
9. Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Use and Lost or Stolen Cards or Convenience Checks. 
If your Card or Convenience Checks are los t or stolen, or if you suspect someone used or may use them without 
your permission, you must notify the Credit Union at once by calling 1 -855-510-4594 (US) or 310 -287-2002 
(International) or writing Credit Card Services -PO Box 182477 -Columbus, OH 43272 -4935. If notice is given orally, 
you will promptly confirm it in writing. The Credit Union may require you to provide us certain information in writing  to 
help us investigate any unauthorized use. Further, you agree to cooperate and assist us or any government or law 
enforcement agent or agency in investigating, collecting or pursuing any other rights (civil and criminal) relating to 
any unauthorized use. In this regard, you agree to file an appropriate police report when asked to do so. Do not use 
the Card or the Convenience Checks after you have notified the Credit Union, even if you find them or have them 
returned to  you. 
You are liable for all transactions that you authorize.  
 
No Liability: You will have no liability for unauthorized use of your Card, Convenience Checks, or other Access 
Devices for transactions if the following conditions are met: (1) you have used reasonable care in protecting your

address provided. You agree to notify us promptly of any change of your e -mail address. If you have not notified us 
of any change of your e -mail address, you agree that your failure to provide us with a valid e -mail address is the lack 
of ordinary care on your part. If we become aware that you are not receiving e -mail, we may restrict your access to 
these services until you provide us with the correct e -mail address and you may be conver ted to paper  documents.  
12. Minimum Payment Due. You can pay off your account balance in full each month or you can pay in monthly 
installments. If you do not pay your balance in full, you agree to pay at least a minimum payment of 2.5% of your 
New Balance (ro unded to the nearest whole dollar) or $10.00, whichever is greater at the end of each statement 
period. If the New Balance shown on your periodic statement is $10.00 or less, you agree to pay this amount. Unless 
the Credit  Union  takes  other  action  as a result of a default  under  this Agreement,  the Minimum  Payment  Due will also 
include any amount that is past due and any amount by which your new balance exceeds your credit limit. Payments 
and credits will be applied first to pay billed but unpaid finance cha rges; late charges, and other fees or charges

could cause you to exceed your credit limit. Please refer to the section on Minimum Payment Due for information about

explanations  are disclosed on the Credit Card Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.

your minimum payment is not received within five (5) days of your payment due date. This fee may be  added 
to your account balance, or collected from you on  demand.  
c. Returned Payment or Insufficient Funds Fee. Credit Union will charge your account a fee if your payment 
by any method, including check, electronic transfer, home banking transaction or otherwise, is not honored, or

sales draft, Convenience Check, or billing statement, a charge may be imposed for the t ime it takes to 
research and locate the document. However, no charge will be imposed in connection with any actual or 
asserted billing error. We may charge a fee to replace a  card.

demand . 
14. Promotional Rate Finance Charges. From time to time and in our sole discretion we may offer a special 
rate applicable to certain transactions such as particular purchases (as defined by us), balance transfers, or cash 
advances. Applicable terms and conditions will be disclosed at the time any such promotion is offered, and are 
incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The promotional rate will apply only to the transactions and for the 
period  of time set forth in any such  offer from us. Existing  balances  and new purchases  or advances  not expressly 
subject  to any such  promotion  will remain  governed  by the terms  and conditions  of this Agreement.  In addition,  the 
terms and conditions of this Agreement will govern your obligati ons regarding any unpaid balance or transactions 
that are made subject to any such promotional offer, that are not fully paid within the time  period  
set forth in such promotional offer.  
15. Returns, Adjustments, Credit Balances. Merchants and others who honor your Card may give credit for 
returns or adjustments, and they will do so by sending the Credit Union a credit transaction, which will be posted to 
your Account. If your credits and payments exceed what you owe the Credit Union, the amount will be applied 
against future purchases and cash advances. If the credit balance amount is $1.00 or more, it will be refunded  upon 
your written request or automatically after six months by transferring the amount to your share savings account or 
mailing a check (only upo n request) payable to the order of any cardholder to the statement  mailing  address.   South Carolina Federal Credit Union

cash advances, finance charges, and other cha rges added to your Account under the terms of this or any other 
agreements with us) extended to you or anyone else using any Card issued for your account, unless the use of such 
Card is by a person other than you, who does not have actual, implied or appar ent authority for such use and from 
which you receive no benefit.  Authority includes, but is not limited to, any authorized users permitting another person 
to use any Card(s). Further, all users are obligated to us for all charges they make, authorize, or  permit.  
The Credit Union can accept late or partial payments as well as payments that are marked with "paid in full" or other 
restrictive endorsements, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. You must pay the Credit Union in  
U.S. dollars dra wn on funds on deposit in the United States. If you make payment with other currencies or from an 
institution domiciled outside the United States, then your payment will not be credited until the funds have been 
collected by us in U.S. dollars.  
Unless othe rwise required by specifically applicable laws, for payments received by mail by 5:00 PM EST, your 
payment will be effective that day; and for payments made in any other manner, including in person, your payment is 
effective the date received.  
 
To protect you and us, the Credit Union, in its sole discretion, may place a temporary freeze on all or part of 
the credit available to you for new purchases or cash advances under this agreement any time the Credit 
Union receives a payment , until payment is actually collected or verified.  
17. Automatic  Payment  Option.  If you requested  the Automatic  Payment  Option  in your Application,  all Minimum 
Payments due will automatically be deducted from your designated account on your Payment Due Date. If your 
designated account does not contain sufficient funds, no automatic deduction will be made; we will bill you for the 
Minimum Payment Due; and your account will be charg ed an insufficient funds fee and you will be responsible for 
making the payment by some other  means.  
18. Skip Payment Option. At our option, we may offer you the opportunity to not make ("skip") a minimum 
payment during certain designated billing cycles ("skip  payment period"). If you do not make your minimum  payments 
as provided in this Agreement, during such designated billing cycles, you understand that we will continue to apply 
finance charges to your account. Beginning with the billing cycle following an a llowed skip payment period, all other 
provisions of this Agreement will  apply.  
19. Default. You will be in default if: (a) you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date; (b) the 
Credit Union, in its sole discretion, feels insecure ( For exampl e: Our good faith belief that your ability to pay your 
account is impaired; use of your account in any manner or in any way that may expose the Credit Union to a risk of 
loss; etc.); (c) your ability to repay is materially reduced by a change in your emplo yment, by an increase in your 
obligations, by bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving you, by your death, or (for community property state 
residents only) by a change in marital status or domicile; (d) you exceed your credit limit without our permis sion; (e) 
you have made a false or misleading statement to us in your application or otherwise; (f) you are in default under any 
other  agreement  with us; (g) if you use or authorize  the use of any Card(s)  to make  or facilitate  any illegal  transaction;

time to time. Upon default we may close your Account to future purchases and advances and, to the extent not 
prohibited by Gov erning Law, demand immediate payment of your entire Account balance, after giving you any notice 
and opportunity to cure the default if required by applicable law. The Credit Union's sole obligation hereunder with 
regard to determining and declaring an eve nt of default is the exercise of "good faith," based on its subjective 
understanding of applicable facts. We shall also have the right to close your account and terminate access privileges 
where your account is inactive for such periods of time as we may f rom time -to-time determine to be appropriate for 
protecting both our and your  interests.  
20. Collection Costs. You agree to pay all costs incurred by the Credit Union in collecting any amounts you owe  or 
in enforcing or protecting the Credit Union's rights und er this Agreement, including attorneys' fees of 20% of the

including if you fail to make your minimum payments on time. We can reinvestigate and reev aluate any information 
you provide on your MasterCard Application at any time, and in the course of doing so, we may ask you to provide 
additional information, request credit bureau reports and/or otherwise verify your current credit  standing.
