BUSINESS CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT 

This Business Credit Card Agreement ("Agreement") includes this document, any letter, card carrier, card insert, 
addendums, any other document accompanying this Agreement, any application that you signed or submitted to 
the  Credit  Union,  and  any  notification  of  changes  to  this  Agreement.  The  words  "you"  and  "your"  mean  each 
person, each business or organization ("organization"), and each officer or owner of the organization who agrees 
to be bound by this Agreement as set forth below.  The words we, our, us and "Credit Union" means the Credit 
Union  whose  name  appears  on  this  Agreement  or  anyone  to  whom  the  Credit  Union  transfers  this  Agreement. 
The  word  "card"  means  the  Visa  business  credit  card  you  receive  from  the  Credit  Union  and  any  duplicates, 
renewals, or substitutions the Credit Union issues to you. The word "account" means the credit card line of credit 
account the Credit Union approves for you that is subject to this Agreement.  

1.  PERSONS BOUND.  By signing (in ink, electronically or digitally) any business loan application stating your 
agreement to be bound by this Agreement or by using the card or account we issue to you, or by authorizing an 
employee to use the card or account we issue to you, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  If 
you are an officer or owner obtaining an account for your organization, you agree to the terms of this Agreement 
in your personal capacity as well as your capacity as an officer or owner authorized to bind the organization to this 
Agreement. 

2.  USING YOUR ACCOUNT.  If you are approved for an account, the Credit Union will establish a line of credit 
for you. The amount of your credit limit is set forth on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement.  You agree 
that your credit limit is the maximum amount (purchases, finance charges, plus "other charges") that you will have 
outstanding on your account at any time.  If you exceed your credit limit, you must pay the amount you are over 
your  limit  plus  any  fees  and  unpaid  finance  charges  before  payments  will  begin  to  restore  your  credit  limit.  In 
addition, a fee may be imposed for exceeding your credit limit. You may request an increase in your credit limit 
only by a method acceptable to the Credit Union.  The Credit Union may increase or decrease your credit limit, 
refuse to make an advance and/or terminate your account at any time for any reason not prohibited by law.  

3.  STATEMENT OF BUSINESS PURPOSE. You agree that you have represented to us that you are obtaining 
your  account  for  business  purposes  and  that  all  purchases  issued  on  your  account  and  any  other  use  of  your 
account  will  only  be  for  a  business  purpose.  You  agree  that  you  will  never  use  your  account  for  any  personal, 
household or family purposes. 

4.  USING YOUR CARD.   You may use your card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept 
your card.  The Credit Union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your 
card.  If  you  wish  to  pay  for  goods  or  services  over  the  Internet,  you  may  be  required  to  provide  card  number 
security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction 

5.  RESPONSIBILITY.  You agree to pay all charges (purchases and any other charge) to your account that are 
made by you or anyone whom you authorize to use your account.  You also agree to pay all finance charges and 
other charges added to your account under the terms of this Agreement or another agreement you made with the 
Credit  Union.  If  there  is  more  than  one  person  bound  to  this  Agreement,  each  will  be  individually  and  jointly 
responsible  for paying  all amounts owed  under  this Agreement.  If  you  are  an organization, the  officer or  owner 
that obtained the account for the organization is also personally obligated for all charges made under the account.  
This means that the Credit Union can require any one of you to individually repay the entire amount owed under 
this Agreement.  In addition each person bound under this Agreement, as well as any authorized user, may make 
purchases individually. 

6. 
INTEREST  RATE.    The  Interest  Rates  applicable  to  purchases  are  disclosed  on  the  Addendum  that 
accompanies  this  Agreement.  These  rates  may  be  either  fixed  or  variable  as  disclosed  in  the  Addendum 
accompanying this Agreement.  If the rate for your account is fixed, the rate charged on purchases will be fixed 
and will not vary from month to month unless we notify you in advance that the rate will change. If the rate for your 
account  is  variable,  as  indicated  on  the  accompanying  Addendum,  the  rate  charged  on  purchases  will  vary 
periodically  as  disclosed  in  the  Addendum  accompanying  this  Agreement.  The  initial  rate  on  your  account  for 
certain types of transactions may be an introductory discounted rate (Introductory Rate) that is lower than the rate 
that would ordinarily apply for that type of transaction. If an Introductory Rate applies to your account, the rates 

1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  YVAAB0 (BXCV12)-e 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and  the  period  of  time  it  will  be  effective  is  shown  on  the  Addendum  accompanying  this  Agreement.  After  the 
Introductory  Rate  period  expires,  the  Interest  Rate  will  automatically  increase  to  the  rates  that  would  ordinarily 
apply for that type of transaction based on the terms of this Agreement.  

7.  FINANCE CHARGE CALCULATION METHOD FOR PURCHASES.  New purchases posted to your Account 
during a billing cycle will not incur a finance charge for that billing cycle if you had a zero or credit balance at the 
beginning of that billing cycle or you paid the entire New Balance on the previous cycle's billing statement by the 
Payment Due Date of that statement; otherwise a finance charge will accrue from the date a purchase is posted 
to  your  Account.    To  avoid  an  additional  finance  charge  on  the  balance  of  purchases,  you  must  pay  the  entire 
New  Balance  on  the  billing  statement  by  the  Payment  Due  Date  of  that  statement.  The  finance  charge  is 
calculated separately for purchases.  For purchases, the finance charge is computed by applying the periodic rate 
to the average daily balance of purchases.  To get the average daily balance of purchases, we take the beginning 
outstanding balance of purchases each day, add any new purchases, and subtract any payments and/or credits.  
This  gives  us  the  daily  balance  of  purchases.    Then,  we  add  all  the  daily  balances  of  purchases  for  the  billing 
cycle  together  and  divide  the  total  by  the  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle.    This  gives  us  the  average  daily 
balance of purchases. 

8.  OTHER CHARGES.  In addition to the Interest Rate, additional fees may be imposed on your account.  The 
amount and description of these fees are disclosed on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. 

9.  PAYMENTS.  Each month you must pay at least the minimum payment shown on your statement by the date 
specified  on  the  statement  or  no  later  than  twenty-five  (25)  {period  can  vary}  days  from  the  statement  closing 
date,  whichever  is  later.    If  your  statement  says  the  payment  is  "Now  Due,"  your  payment  is  due  no  later  than 
twenty-five  (25)  {period  can  vary}  days  from  the  statement  closing  date.  All  payments  must  be  made  in  U.S. 
dollars and if made by a negotiable instrument such as a check or money order, must be in a form acceptable to 
us and drawn on a U.S. financial institution. You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment 
or pay the Total New Balance in full.  If you make extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least 
the  minimum  payment  each  month  your  account  has  a  balance  (other  than  a  credit  balance).    The  minimum 
payment for your account is shown on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. In addition to the minimum 
payment, you must also pay, by the date specified above, the amount of any prior minimum payment(s) that you 
have  not  made,  all  outstanding  unpaid  fees  and  charges,  and  any  amount  you  are  over  your  credit  limit.    The 
Credit Union also has the right to demand immediate payment of any amount by which you are over your credit 
limit. Subject to applicable law, your payments may be applied to what you owe to the Credit Union in any manner 
the Credit Union chooses.  We may accept checks marked "payment in full" or with words of similar effect without 
losing any of our rights to collect the full balance of your account with us. 

10.  FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS.  If you make a purchase in a foreign currency, the transaction will be debited 
from your account in U.S. dollars.  Visa will convert the transaction into U.S. dollars depending on whether you 
complete the transaction with a Visa card or if the transaction is processed by a network operated or affiliated with 
Visa. For transactions processed through Visa, the exchange rate used to convert foreign currency transactions is 
a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central 
processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate in effect 
for the applicable central processing date.  The exchange rate used to convert the transaction may differ from the 
rate Visa receives and may differ from the rate applicable on the date the transaction occurred or was posted to 
your account.  

11.  COLLECTION COSTS.  You agree to pay all costs of collecting the amount you owe under this Agreement, 
including court costs and reasonable attorney's fee, as permitted by applicable state law.  

12.  SECURITY INTEREST.  If you give the Credit Union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge 
of  shares,  your  pledged  shares  will  secure  your  account.    You  may  not  withdraw  amounts  that  have  been 
specifically  pledged  to  secure  your  account  until  the  Credit  Union  agrees  to  release  all  or  part  of  the  pledged 
amount.  In addition, your account is secured by all other shares you have in any individual or joint account with 
the Credit Union, except for shares in an Individual Retirement account or in any other account that would lose 
special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security.  These other shares may be withdrawn unless 
you are in default under this Agreement.  You authorize the Credit Union to apply the balance in your individual or 
joint  share  accounts  to  pay  any  amounts  due  on  your  account  if  you  should  default.    Collateral  securing  other 
loans you have with the Credit Union may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never be considered as 
security for this account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement. 

13.  DEFAULT.  You will be in default if you fail to make any minimum payment or other required payment by the 
date that it is due.  You will be in default if you: a) break any promise you make under this Agreement; b) exceed 

2                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  YVAAB0 (BXCV12)-e 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
your  credit  limit;  c)  are  a  natural  person,  if  you  die;  d)  are  an  organization,  you  cease  to  exist;  e)  are  an 
organization, you change your legal structure so that the person obligating the organization to this Agreement is 
no longer authorized to bind it to legal agreements; f) file for bankruptcy or become insolvent; g) make any false 
or  misleading  statements  in  any  credit  application  or  credit  update;  or  h)  if  something  happens  that  the  Credit 
Union believes may substantially reduce your ability to repay what you owe. When you are in default, the Credit 
Union  has  the  right  to  demand  immediate  payment  of  your  full  account  balance  without  giving  you  notice.    If 
immediate payment is demanded, you agree to continue paying finance charges, at the applicable interest rate, 
until what you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security for your account may be applied 
towards what you owe.  

14.  CHANGING  OR  TERMINATING  YOUR  ACCOUNT.    The  Credit  Union  may  change  the  terms  of  this 
Agreement and any attached Addendum from time to time.  Notice of any change will be given in accordance with 
applicable  law.    If  permitted  by  law,  the  change will  apply  to  your  existing  account  balance  as  well as  to  future 
transactions. 

Either  you  or  the  Credit  Union  may  terminate  this  Agreement  at  any  time,  but  termination  by  you  or  the  Credit 
Union will not affect your obligation to pay the account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under 
this Agreement.  You are also responsible for all transactions made to your account after termination, unless the 
transactions were unauthorized.  

The card or cards you receive remain the property of the Credit Union and you must recover and surrender to the 
Credit Union all cards upon request or upon termination of this Agreement whether by you or the Credit Union.  
The Credit Union has the right to require you to pay your full account balance at any time after your account is 
terminated, whether it is terminated by you or the Credit Union.   

15.  CHANGING OR TERMINATING AUTHORIZED USERS.  Upon your request, we may issue additional cards 
for authorized users that you designate. You must notify us in writing of any termination of an authorized user's 
right to access your account. Your letter must include the name of the authorized user and your account number 
and/or  any  subaccount  number  issued  to  the  authorized  user  along  with  the  authorized  user's  card  and  any 
convenience or other access checks issued to the authorized user. If you cannot return the authorized user's card 
or access checks and if you request your account to be closed, we will close your account and you may apply for 
a new account. 

16.  LIABILITY  FOR  UNAUTHORIZED  USE-LOST/STOLEN  CARD  NOTIFICATION.  You  may  be  liable  for  the 
unauthorized  use  of  your  card  or  account.  Notify  us  immediately,  in  writing  or  by  telephone  at  the  address  or 
phone  number  included  with  this  Agreement,  if  your  card  is  lost,  stolen  or  you  suspect  there  has  been 
unauthorized use of your card or account.  After we receive your notification, you will not be liable for any further 
unauthorized use of your card or account. 

If you are an organization with 10 or more employees and we have issued 10 or more cards on your account for 
use by your employees, you will be liable for all unauthorized use of your cards or account before notification 
to  us.    Otherwise,  you  will  be  liable  for  up  to  $50  for  the  unauthorized  use  of  your  card  or  account  before 
notification  to  us.  Unauthorized  use  does  not  include  use  of  a  card  by  an  authorized  user  in  an  unauthorized 
manner.  

17.  CREDIT REVIEW AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION.  You authorize the Credit Union to investigate your 
credit standing when opening or reviewing your account.  You authorize the Credit Union to disclose information 
regarding your account to credit bureaus and creditors who inquire about your credit standing.  If your account is 
eligible  for  emergency  cash  and/or  emergency  card  replacement  services,  and  you  request  such  services,  you 
agree that we may provide personal information about you and your account that is necessary to provide you with 
the requested service(s). 

18.  RETURNS AND ADJUSTMENTS.  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 slip 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.    If  the  credit  balance  amount  is  $1  or  more,  it  will  be  refunded  upon  your  written  request  or 
automatically after six (6) months. 

19.  ADDITIONAL BENEFITS/CARD ENHANCEMENTS.  The Credit Union may from time to time offer additional 
services to your account, such as travel accident insurance or a liability waiver program, at no additional cost to 
you.  You  understand  that  the  Credit  Union  is  not  obligated  to  offer  such  services  and  may  withdraw  or change 
them at any time.
