RED CANOE CREDIT UNION 
BUSINESS VISA PLATINUM CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT 

This  Business  VISA  Platinum  Credit  Card  Account  Agreement  (“Agreement”)  and  the  Account  Disclosures  accompanying  this 
Agreement will govern your VISA Platinum Credit Card and account (“Account”) issued by Red Canoe Credit Union (“Credit Union”).  In 
this  Agreement,  the  words  "you,"  "your,"  "yours,"  "applicant,"  and  "Borrower"  mean  any  person  who  signs  the  application  for  this 
Account,  any  joint  obligor,  guarantor,  authorized  user,  or the person whose name is embossed on the Card.  The words "we," "us," 
"our,"  and  "Credit  Union"  mean  Red  Canoe  Credit  Union.    The  word  "Card"  means  any  one  or  more  credit  cards  issued  under  this 
Account.  If you sign an application for this Account or sign or use any Card or PIN, or allow others to use the Card or PIN, you 
and they will have accepted this Agreement just as if you and they signed it, and you and they, jointly and severally, will be 
bound by the following terms and conditions which will govern this Account. 

1.  YOU  PROMISE  TO  PAY.    You  promise  to  pay  us  all  amounts,  plus  any  Interest  Charges,  which  arise  from  use  of  the  Card or 
Account by you or any other person, and to be jointly and severally liable with such a person, unless such other pers on does not have 
actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use, and you received no benefit from the use.  You promise to pay us either  by direct 
payment or by automatic transfers from shares or by payroll deduction. 

2.  ACCOUNT ACCESS. You must sign the Card to use it.  Once you have signed the Card, you can use it to buy or lease goods, 
services, or insurance wherever the Card is honored, up to the full amount of your Credit Line.  You may use your Account to  get cash 
advances from us.  You may also use your Card to get a cash advance from participating financial institutions and to access your line 
of  credit  at  automatic  teller  machines  (“ATMs”)  within  the  VISA  network  or  any  other  ATMs.    Balance  transfers  are  treated  as 
purchases.  The maximum cash advance limit is 100% of your credit limit. 

3.  CREDIT LINE.  If we approve your application, this Agreement will constitute a revolving line of credit for an amount which will be 
the Credit Line under your Account.  We will advise you of the amount of your Credit Line.  That amount will be the maximum amount 
you  may  have  outstanding  at  any  one  time.    You  agree  not  to  attempt  to  obtain  more  credit  than  the  amount  of  your  Credit  Line .  
However, if you temporarily exceed your Credit Line, you agree to repay the excess immediately, even if we have not yet billed you.  
Obtaining such credit does not increase your Credit Line.  We retain the right to increase or decrease your Credit Line at an y time.  
Any increase or reduction in the amount of your Credit Line will be shown on your monthly statement or by separate notice together 
with any changes in the applicable Minimum Monthly Payments.  Your eligibility for this Credit Line is determined by our loan  policy 
and may be terminated at our sole discretion, without demand or notice.  You may close your Credit Line at any time by notifying us in 
writing  and  returning  all  Cards  cut  in  half.    If  you  terminate  this  Agreement  or  if  we  terminate  or  suspend  your  credit  privileges,  the 
provisions of this Agreement and your liability hereunder shall otherwise remain in full force and effect until you have paid us all sums 
due us under this Agreement and returned all Cards. 

4.  OVERDRAFT PROTECTION. If we approve your request for overdraft protection, you may access your Credit Line by overdrawing 
your checking account. We will treat any overdraft item as a request for an advance on your Credit Line. Overdraft transfers will be made in 
amounts  sufficient  to  cover  the  overdrawn  item.  The  fee  for  overdraft  transfers  is  set  forth  on  the  Rate  and  Fee  Schedule.   Overdraft 
transfers from your Credit Line will be governed by your Membership and Account Agreement and this Agreement. You understand that 
any owner on your checking account may obligate you to repay overdraft advances by overdrawing the checking account. 

5.  MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT.  We will mail you a statement every month if your Account has a balance. You agree that you will 
pay each month not less than the minimum monthly payment on or before the closing date. The minimum monthly payment will be 3.0% of 
your outstanding balance (“New Balance”) or $25, whichever is greater. If your outstanding balance is $25 or less, you agree to pay the 
balance in full. You may pay in full for all your purchases and cash advances each month, or you may repay in monthly installments. We 
can accept late payments or partial payments, or checks, drafts, or money orders marked “payment in full” without prejudice to our rights 
under  this  Agreement,  which  are  hereby  explicitly  reserved.  A  credit  posting  from  a  merchant  or  reversal  of  fees  does  not  constitute  a 
minimum payment. The minimum monthly payment may be allocated at the Credit Union’s discretion to pay off lower rate balances, such 
as promotional offers, before higher rate balances, such as cash advances or purchases.  Payments in excess of the minimum monthly 
payment will be allocated first to higher rate balances, as applicable. From time to time, we may allow you to skip your minimum monthly 
payment due. If you choose to skip that payment, Interest Charges will continue to accrue in accordance with this Agreement.  Payments 
received at:  Red Canoe Credit Union Payment Center, PO Box 3020, Longview, WA 98632, on or before 5:00 PM Pacific Time on any 
business day will be credited to your Account as of that date; payments received by mail at that address after 5:00 PM Pacific Time or on a 
weekend will be posted to your Account as of the next business day. 

6.  SECURITY INTEREST.  By signing your application, to secure your Account, you granted us a purchase  money security interest 
under the Washington Uniform Commercial Code in any goods you purchase through your Account.  If you default, we will have th e 
right  to  recover  any  of  these  goods  that  have  not  been  paid  for  through  application  of  your  payments  in  the  manner  described  in 
Section 5.  In addition, you granted us a security interest in all your shares and deposits, present and future, and all accounts (exc ept 
Individual Retirement Accounts and Keogh Accounts) with the Credit Union to secure your Account and agree, upon default, the Credit 
Union may apply all that is secured to pay any amounts due under this Agreement, without further notice to you.   You further agree 
that collateral securing other loans with the Credit Union (except loans secured by real property) also secures this Account. 

7.  PERIODIC  STATEMENTS.    Each  month,  if  your  outstanding  balance  exceeds  $1,  we  will  send  you  a  statement  showing  new 
purchases, cash advances, payments, and credits made to your Account during the billing period, your Previous Balance, your "Total New 
Balance,"  any  Interest  Charge,  and  any  other  charges.    Your  statement  also  will  identify  the  remaining  Credit  Line  available  and  the 
Minimum Monthly Payment you must make for that billing period and the date it is due.  For statement verification purposes, you agree to 
retain copies of transaction slips resulting from each purchase, each advance, and other transaction on your Account.  Unless you notify 
us of a billing error as described below, you accept your monthly statement as an accurate statement of your Account with us. 

8.  CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH AN INTEREST CHARGE WILL BE IMPOSED.  The total outstanding balance of purchases 
and cash advances in the Account on the closing date of a billing  period, including any Interest Charge will be shown on the Periodic 
Statement for that billing period as the "New Balance."

a.  Cash Advances.  An Interest Charge will be imposed on cash advances from the date each cash advance is made.  There is 

no time period within which to pay to avoid a periodic Interest Charge on cash advances. 

b.  Purchases.  Your due date is approximately 25 days after the close of each billing period.  An Interest Charge will be imposed on 
the portion of purchases included in the New Balance that is not paid by the due date.  This “grace period” allows you to avoid an Interest 
Charge on purchases for a billing period.  However, if you do not pay the New Balance for purchases within the grace period, your Interest 
Charge will accrue on any unpaid purchase transactions from the first day of the billing period in which the payment is due. 

9.  METHOD USED TO DETERMINE THE BALANCE ON WHICH THE INTEREST CHARGE MAY BE COMPUTED AND AMOUNT 
OF INTEREST CHARGE.  The Credit Union figures the Interest Charge on your Account by multiplying the "Average Daily Balance" of 
purchases and cash advances for your Account (including current transactions) by the Daily Periodic Rate, and then we multiply the 
result by the number of days in the billing period.  To get the "Average Daily Balance" we take the beginning balance of your Account 
each day, add any new purchases or cash advances, and subtract any payments or credits, unpaid  Interest Charge and unpaid late 
charges.    This  gives  us  the  daily  balance.    Then,  we  add  up  all  the  daily  balances  for  the  billing  period  and  divide  the  total  by  the 
number of days in the billing period.  This gives us the "Average Daily Balance."  To get the “Daily Periodic Rate,” we divide the Annual 
Percentage Rate in effect for the billing period by 365. 

10.  PERIODIC RATE AND CORRESPONDING ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE.   

a.  Standard  Rates.    The  Annual  Percentage  Rate(s)  and  corresponding  Daily  Period  Rate(s)  that  are  used  to  compute  the 
Interest  Charge  for  your  Account  are  based  upon  your  credit  qualification  and  are  disclosed  in  the  Account  Disclosure  and  each 
monthly billing statement.   

b. 

Introductory  Rates.    At  our  discretion,  we  may  offer  you  an  introductory  or  promotional  Annual  Percentage  Rate  for  your 
Account.    Any  introductory  or  promotional  Annual  Percentage  Rate  will  be  subject  to  the  terms  of  the  offer  and  this  Agreement, 
including  but  not  limited  to  the  Penalty  APR  described  below.    We  will  provide  you  with  information  on  the  offer,  including  the  time 
period the introductory or promotional Annual Percentage Rate is in effect in the Account Disclosure or in other materials that we send 
to you about the offer after you receive your Credit Card. 

c. 

 Penalty APR.  The Daily Periodic Rate and Annual Percentage Rate may increase if your minimum payment has not been 
received  within  60  days  after  the  due  date  for  such  payment,  in  which  case  we  may  increase  the  Annual  Percentage  Rate  for  your 
entire  balance  to  19.90%  (“Penalty  APR”).    We  will  send  you  advance  written  notice  that  your  Annual  Percentage  Rate  will  be 
increasing.    Following  implementation  of  the  Penalty  APR,  if  you  make  your  payments  on  time  for  six  (6)  consecutive  months,  the 
Penalty APR will terminate and the prevailing variable Annual Percentage Rate will apply. 

11.  CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH OTHER CHARGES MAY BE IMPOSED.  You agree to pay the following fees and charges on your 
Account. 

a.  Late Fee.  If we do not receive your minimum payment within 3 days of the due date, you agree to pay a late fee of $25. 

b.  Copying Fee.  We may charge you $13 for each VISA draft copy you request for your Account.  If the request relates to a 

billing error and we determine that a billing error was made, any photocopying charges will be refunded. 

c.  Returned Item Fee.  If any check or draft we receive from you as payment for any amount you owe to us is returned to us 

unpaid, you agree to pay a returned item fee of up to $25. 

d.  ATM Fee.  If you use an ATM to obtain a cash advance and the ATM is not operated by us, you may be charged an ATM 
surcharge  by  the  ATM  operator  or  an  ATM  network  utilized  for  such  a  transaction.    The  ATM  surcharge  may  be  charged  to  your 
Account if you complete the transaction.   

e.  Attorney's  Fees  and  Costs.   If  you  default  on  any  part  of  this  Agreement,  you  agree  to  pay  us  all  costs  to  collect  your 
Account,  including  court  costs  and  reasonable  attorney  fees  whether  or  not  there  is  a  lawsuit, and fees on any appeal and fees for 
bankruptcy  proceedings,  appeals,  and  any  post-judgment  collection  services,  if  applicable.    These  fees  and  costs may be added to 
your Account balance and will bear interest at the Annual Percentage Rate in effect at that time. 

12.  CONDITIONS OF CARD USE.  The use of your Card and Account are subject to the following conditions: 

a.  Use.    Your  Card  and  Account  may  be  used  only  for  valid  and  lawful  purposes.    You  may  not  use  your  Card  (i)  to  make 
Purchases or obtain Cash Advances for any illegal transaction, or (ii) for any internet or online gambling transactions.  If  you use your 
Card  for  any  illegal  or  prohibited  transaction,  this  Agreement  also  applies  to  such  transaction  and  you  agree  to  pay  any  and  all 
amounts  related  to  such  transaction  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  Agreement.  We  may,  in  our  sole  discretion,  restrict  the  use   of  or 
terminate your Card if we notice excessive use of your Card or other suspicious activities or if we reasonably believe the Card is or has 
been used for one or more illegal or prohibited transactions. 

b.  Ownership  of  Cards.   Any  Card  or  other  credit  instrument  or  device  which  we  supply  to  you  is  our  property  and  must  be 
returned  to  us,  or  to  any  person  whom  we  authorize  to  act  as  our  agent,  or  to  any  person  who  is  authorized  to  honor  the  Card,  
immediately according to instructions.  The Card may be repossessed at any time in our sole discretion without demand or notice.  You 
cannot transfer your Card or Account to another person. 

c.  Honoring the Card.  We may decline to honor any transaction for any reason.  Neither we nor merchants authorized to honor 
the Card will be responsible for the failure or refusal to honor the Card or any other credit instrument or device we supply to you.  If a 
merchant agrees to give you a refund or adjustment, you agree to accept a credit to your Account in lieu of a cash refund. 

d.  Currency Conversion/International Transaction Fee. Purchases and cash advances made in foreign countries will be billed to 
you in U.S. dollars. The currency conversion rate for international transactions as established by VISA International, Inc. is a rate selected 
by VISA from the 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.  In addition, you 
will be charged an International Transaction Fee of 1% of the transaction amount for any card transaction made in a foreign country.
