plus (b) any Purchases and Cash Advances that we have authorized but that have not yet posted
to your Card Account, including authorization holds (see the "Authorization Holds" section below
for additional information), plus (c) any payments that have not yet cleared. As provided in this
Agreement, your Available Credit will change from time to time based on changes in your Credit

1. Secured Credit Card Account. Your Card Account is a secured credit card account. It is secured by a
security deposit account that you are required to establish and maintain in order to open your Card
Account (referred to as the "Security Deposit Account"). If you fail to make your required payments
on your Card Account or otherwise fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement, you could lose
all the funds in your Security Deposit Account. The Security Agreement below includes, among other
important provisions, information on the security interest you have granted to the Bank in your
Security Deposit Account and the Bank's rights against all funds in your Security Deposit Account in
the event of your Default (as defined below) under this Agreement.
2. Agreement to Terms. By applying for a Card Account, signing the Card, or otherwise using or
consenting to the use of the Card Account, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and that this Agreement will govern your Card Account, the use of your Card, and all credit extended
under this Agreement. You also agree that your use of your Card Account, whether by use of your Card
or otherwise, will constitute your acceptance of, and will be subject to, this Agreement. Your Card
Account will not be opened until we have received your deposit to your Security Deposit Account, in
an amount of at least $100, as described below in the "Establishing Your Credit Limit and Initial Credit
Limit" section.
3. Using Your Card Account.
(a) Available Transactions. Subject to your Credit Limit, you may use your Card and your Card Account
to make Purchases and obtain Cash Advances as long as you are not in Default. You may not obtain
balance transfers from your Card Account. You may make Purchases as described in the definition
of Purchase above. You may obtain Cash Advances in the ways described in the definition of Cash
Advance above, subject to the terms, limits, and fees described in this Agreement. When you
activate your Card, you must select a personal identification number ("PIN"), which can be used
with your Card to obtain a Cash Advance at an authorized ATM, subject to the terms, limits, and
fees described in this Agreement.
(b) Limitations on Using Your Card Account. You agree to use your Card Account only for personal,
family, or household purposes. You also promise that your Card Account will be not be used for
purposes that are illegal under state or federal law, including, without limitation, illegal gambling
activity. We reserve the right to deny transactions or authorizations from merchants that appear
to be engaged in illegal activities. We are not responsible if anyone does not allow you to use your
Card Account or refuses to accept your Card. We may decline any transaction at any time.
6
(c) Additional Limits on Cash Advances. In addition to your Credit Limit, Cash Advances (including
any fees) are limited as follows:
(i) Maximum Cash Advance limit at an ATM is $200 per day and $3,000 per month;
(ii) Maximum Cash Advance limit at a participating financial institution is $200 per day and $3,000
per month;
(iii) Cash Advances are only permitted at ATMs and participating financial institutions located in
the U.S., its territories, Canada, and Mexico; and
(iv) For security purposes, we may limit the number of Cash Advance transactions at an ATM per
day and may decline any Cash Advance request made after you reach the maximum number
of Cash Advances for that day, which maximum number will be set by us in our sole discretion
and may change at any time.
4. Establishing Your Credit Limit and Initial Credit Limit. When we open your Card Account, we will
establish a Credit Limit for your Card Account. Your initial Credit Limit is based on the amount you
initially deposit in your Security Deposit Account, subject to a minimum deposit requirement of $100.
We will notify you of any change in your Credit Limit as may be required by law. Changes to your
Credit Limit may take effect before you receive such notice. Your billing statement for your Card
Account will disclose your Credit Limit and the amount of your Available Credit as of the closing date
of your Billing Cycle.
5. Future Credit Limit Changes. If we are satisfied with your ability to repay a higher Credit Limit, we
may allow you to increase your Credit Limit by depositing additional funds to your Security Deposit
Account from your GO2bank Bank Account. However, if we determine, at any time in our discretion,
that you might not have the ability to repay the full amount of your Credit Limit, we may decrease
your Credit Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may decrease your Credit Limit in our discretion
at any time. If you want to decrease your Credit Limit, your only option is to close your Card Account.
See the "Cancellation and Change in Terms" section below for more information on closing your Card
Account and the consequences of doing so.
6. Your Credit Limit Obligations. Your Credit Limit will be shown on your billing statements. You promise
not to engage in any transactions that, along with any applicable fees we assess in connection with
such transactions (such as, but not limited to, Cash Advance fees), would cause you to exceed your
Credit Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest charges and fees may cause you to exceed your
Credit Limit. If you attempt a transaction that would cause you to exceed your Credit Limit, we may,
in our discretion, authorize the transaction without increasing your Credit Limit or we may deny the
authorization. If we allow you to exceed your Credit Limit at any time, that does not obligate us to do
so any other time. Without limiting our other rights under this Agreement, including our rights under
the "Our Rights Upon Default" section below, you agree that if you exceed your Credit Limit at any
time, you will immediately pay us for the full amount that exceeds your Credit Limit.
7. Credit Availability.
(a) General Rules. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payments on your Card Account
and changes to your Credit Limit will change the amount of your Available Credit. This section
describes when your Card Account payments will be credited for purposes of your Available
7
Credit. Crediting of payments for purposes of your scheduled payment obligations is described in
the "Receipt and Crediting of Payments" section below.
(b) Payments from Your GO2bank Bank Account. For purposes of your Available Credit only, one-
time payments from your GO2bank Bank Account that you schedule by logging in to our Website
or Mobile App will increase your Available Credit when we receive the payment.
(c) Payments by Check. For purposes of your Available Credit only, payments by check will increase
your Available Credit within 8 to 12 days after we receive the payment.
8. Promise to Pay.
(a) General Promise to Pay. You promise to pay us all amounts you owe on your Card Account,
including, without limitation, the total amount of all Purchases, Cash Advances, interest charges,
and all other charges and fees described in this Agreement. You must make a payment every
month that your billing statement reflects a New Balance. If we do not receive your Minimum
Payment Due by the Payment Due Date reflected on your billing statement, your payment will be
considered late and you will be in Default. See the "Our Rights Upon Default" section below for
consequences of Default.
(b) Making Payments. All payments to us must be made in U.S. dollars. You can make payments by
any of the following methods: (i) scheduling a one-time payment from your GO2bank Bank
Account via our Website or Mobile App or (ii) sending a check to us at the address disclosed on
your billing statement.
(c) Minimum Payment Requirement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you may pay
the entire balance owed at any time, without penalty, or you may pay some lesser amount. At a
minimum, however, you must pay the Minimum Payment Due as is reflected on your billing
statement, and we must receive that payment on or before the Payment Due Date shown on your
billing statement. The Payment Due Date will be the same day of each calendar month (although,
for payments by check, if the Payment Due Date is not a Business Day, we will treat any check
payment that is received by us by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the next Business Day after the
Payment Due Date as having been made on the Payment Due Date). See the "Receipt and Credit
of Payments" section below. If your Minimum Payment Due is not received by the Payment Due
Date, you will be charged a Late Payment Fee (see the "Fees" section below).
If the New Balance shown on your billing statement is less than $25.00, your Minimum Payment
Due will be equal to the New Balance. If the New Balance shown on your billing statement is
$25.00 or more, your Minimum Payment Due will be equal to the greater of: (i) $25.00 or (ii) 2%
of the New Balance. The Minimum Payment Due is rounded up to the nearest dollar. Any credits
on your Card Account will not be used to meet the Minimum Payment Due amount.
9.
Receipt and Crediting of Payments. For purposes of your payment obligations, the following
describes when your payments must be made in order to be credited to your Card Account on a timely
basis.
(a) Payments From Your GO2bank Bank Account. If you schedule one-time payment from your
GO2bank Bank Account via our Website or Mobile App before 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, we will
credit the payment as of that day.
8
(b) Payments By Check. A conforming payment received by us by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on a Business
Day will be credited to your Card Account on the date we receive it. A "conforming payment" is a
payment by check drawn on a U.S. financial institution that is capable of being processed through
the Federal Reserve System, is payable to GO2bank, and has your Card Account number written
on it. Any check that does not meet these requirements will be considered a Non-conforming
Payment (as defined below), which may delay the crediting of the payment for up to five days.
Please allow seven to ten Business Days for the U.S. Postal Service to deliver your check payment
to us.
(c) Non-conforming Payments. We may reject, in our discretion, any payments that do not comply
with the payment instructions set forth in this Agreement or on your billing statement (each a
"Non-conforming Payment"). If we accept a Non-Conforming Payment, the payment will be
credited to your Card Account within five days as long as we can identify your Card Account, which
may result in additional interest charges and fees. We can accept Non-conforming Payments, late
payments, partial payments, or conditional checks or any checks marked "payment in full"
without losing our rights under this Agreement, including the right to require full payment of all
amounts owed under this Agreement.
(d) Application of Payments. Subject to applicable law, we may decide, in our sole discretion, how to
apply your payments, up to the Minimum Payment Due, to the balances on your Card Account.
After the Minimum Payment Due has been paid, we will apply your payments to the balance with
the highest interest rate and then to balances with lower interest rates.
10. Authorization Holds. Transactions at some merchants (such as hotels, car rental companies,
restaurants, and gas stations) may result in temporary authorizations for amounts greater than the
actual Purchase amount. If this happens, it will make less credit available to you on your Card Account
until the date the actual Purchase amount is received by us from the merchant or the authorization
hold is released.
11. Our Rights Upon Default.
(a) Events of Default. The Bank may, without prior notice, declare you in default under this
Agreement if any of the following occur (each, a "Default"): (i) you fail to meet the conditions,
perform any obligation, or make any required payment under this Agreement or any other
agreement that you make with us relating to the Debt; (ii) you have given the Bank false or
misleading information or made misrepresentations; (iii) you exceeded your Credit Limit; (iv) you
die; (v) any government authority takes action that the Bank believes adversely affects your
financial condition or ability to repay the Debt; (vi) any guaranty or other agreement required in
connection with the Debt is violated or ineffective; (vii) you default on any other account you have
with the Bank; or (viii) you file a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy petition is filed against you, or
you make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(b) Our Rights Upon Your Default. If you Default, the Bank may declare all the Debt immediately due
and payable, subject to any notice and rights to cure you may have under applicable law. Upon
any Default, we are authorized to exercise all of our rights under the security interest that you
have granted to us in your Security Deposit Account. Without limiting the foregoing, we may act
as owner of the Security Deposit Account and apply all or any portion of the funds in the Security
Deposit Account to repayment of the Debt and our costs in enforcing our rights hereunder. Your
Security Deposit Account does not secure any obligations to us other than the Debt. We are
9
irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of executing any instruments
required to satisfy the Debt. In addition and by way of example, if you are in Default, we may close
your Card Account without notice and require you to pay your unpaid balance immediately,
except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, and we can also begin collection activities. To
the extent permitted by law, if you are in Default because you have failed to pay us, we will require
you to pay our collection costs, attorneys' fees, court costs, and all other expenses of enforcing
our rights under this Agreement.
Our rights stated in this Agreement are in addition to any other rights the Bank has under applicable
law. If there is a conflict regarding the security interest between this Agreement and any other
agreement, this Agreement will control. You represent that no insolvency proceeding or general
assignment for creditors is pending that would affect the Bank's security interest. If the Bank waives
or delays exercising a right, it does not forfeit that right or any others. You waive any defense you may
have against the Bank. The Bank can exercise its rights against the Security Deposit Account even if
you are no longer liable on the Debt because of a statute of limitations or because of other reasons.
Until the Debt is fully repaid and you have no further obligations under this Agreement, you will
subordinate in favor of the Bank any right of subrogation and any right to enforce a remedy the Bank
now has or may later have.
12. Authorized Users. If you give your Card to any person to use or otherwise authorize any person to use
your Card Account, you will be responsible for all charges that such person makes on your Card
Account, even if you did not anticipate or specifically approve the charges. You must notify us in
writing if you wish to revoke any permission you gave to another person to use your Card Account.
We then will take commercially reasonable efforts to comply with your instructions to revoke that
authority, which may include replacing your Card with a new Card or changing your Card Account
number.
13. Billing Statements. Each month while your Card Account is open, we will provide you a billing
statement showing your New Balance, Minimum Payment Due, and the Payment Due Date. We will
provide the billing statement to you electronically by notifying you by email that your billing statement
is available. When you receive this email, you will need to log in to your Card Account via the Website
and Mobile App to view and print your billing statement. We may discontinue sending billing
statements to you if: (i) we deem your Card Account to be uncollectible; (ii) delinquency collection
proceedings have been instituted against you to enforce this Agreement; (iii) furnishing the statement
would violate applicable law; or (iv) as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Even though you may
not receive a billing statement in such instances, you understand and agree that, except to the extent
prohibited by applicable law, interest charges may continue to accrue on your Card Account.
14. Fees.
(a) Late Payment Fee. If your Minimum Payment Due is not received by your Payment Due Date, the
Late Payment Fee is $25. If this happens again within the next six Billing Cycles, the Late Payment
Fee is $39. However, the Late Payment Fee will not exceed the Minimum Payment Due.
(b) Returned Payment Fee. For any payment that you make to us that is returned unpaid, we will
impose a Returned Payment Fee equal to the lesser of $20 or the amount of your required
Minimum Payment Due immediately prior to the date on which the payment is returned.
10
(c) Cash Advance Fee. We will impose a Cash Advance fee for each Cash Advance you obtain, equal
to the greater of $10 or 5% of the amount of the Cash Advance (including any fee that may be
charged by the ATM owner or financial institution that provides the cash).
(d) Foreign Transaction Fee. We will impose a Foreign Transaction Fee equal to 3% of each Foreign
Transaction (as defined below), measured in U.S. dollars (see the "Foreign Transactions" section
below for additional restrictions on such transactions).
(e) Expedited Card Delivery Fee. We will impose a $24.95 fee if you request that we expedite the
delivery of any replacement Card to you.
(f) Fees for Other Services. We may charge you other fees for services associated with your Card
Account that you request in accordance with applicable law.
15. Interest Charges.
When Interest Charges Begin; Grace Periods for New Purchases Only. We calculate interest
charges separately for Cash Advances and Purchases. There are no grace periods for Cash
Advances, so you will pay interest charges on Cash Advances from the date they are posted to
your Card Account until they are paid in full.
There is a grace period during which no interest charge will be imposed on Purchases appearing
on a billing statement for the first time ("New Purchases"). Each Payment Due Date will be at least
25 days from the statement closing date (at least 23 days for Billing Cycles that begin in February)
and is printed on each billing statement. New Purchases will not be subject to an interest charge
if you pay the New Balance reflected on the current billing statement (the statement reflecting
the New Purchases) in full by the Payment Due Date reflected on the current billing statement. If
you do not pay the New Balance reflected on the current billing statement in full by the Payment
Due Date reflected on the current billing statement, the balance of the New Purchases that is not
paid by the Payment Due Date on the current billing statement will be subject to an interest
charge from the first day of the Billing Cycle beginning immediately after the Billing Cycle in which
the New Purchases were posted to your Card Account.
(a) How We Calculate Your Interest on Purchases: Average Daily Balance Method (Excluding New
Purchases). We calculate a portion of the interest charge on your Card Account by applying a
Monthly Periodic Rate to the "Average Daily Balance of Purchases (excluding New Purchases)" on
your Card Account. The "Monthly Periodic Rate" is determined by dividing the Annual Percentage
Rate by 12. The current Monthly Periodic Rate is 1.915%. To get the Average Daily Balance of
Purchases, we take the beginning balance of Purchases on your Card Account each day; and
subtract unpaid interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits and fees (New
Purchases are not included in the calculation of the Average Daily Balance of Purchases for the
Billing Cycle in which those Purchases are made). This gives us the Daily Balance of Purchases.
Then we add together all of these Daily Balances of Purchases for the Billing Cycle, and divide the
total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance of
Purchases.
(b) How We Calculate Your Interest on Cash Advances: Average Daily Balance Method (Including
New Cash Advances). We calculate a portion of the interest charge on your Card Account by
applying a Daily Periodic Rate to the "Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances (including New Cash
Advances)" on your Card Account. The "Daily Periodic Rate" is determined by dividing the Annual
11
Percentage Rate by 365 (or by 366 in a leap year). The current Daily Periodic Rate is 0.074%. To
get the Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances, we take the beginning balance of Cash Advances
on the Card Account each day; add any new Cash Advances posted to your Card Account on that
day; and subtract unpaid interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits and fees.
This gives us the Daily Balance of Cash Advances. Then we add together all of these Daily Balances
of Cash Advances for the Billing Cycle, and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing
Cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances.
(c) Calculation of Interest Charges. We calculate a portion of your interest charge by multiplying a
Monthly Periodic Rate by your Average Daily Balance of Purchases (excluding New Purchases),
and by multiplying a Daily Periodic Rate by your Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances (including
new Cash Advances). We add together the results of these daily calculations to get your total
interest charge for the Billing Cycle.
16. Consent to Electronic Disclosures. The Card Account and Security Deposit Account are only available
electronically. In order for you to obtain and maintain your Card Account, you must consent to receive
all disclosures electronically as provided in our Electronic Communications Agreement. If you wish to
withdraw your consent, you must close your Card Account and Security Deposit Account. See the
"Cancellation and Change in Terms" section below for more information on closing your Card Account
and the consequences of doing so.
17. Lost or Stolen Cards; Liability For Unauthorized Card Transactions. You must contact us
IMMEDIATELY if you believe your Card or Card Account information has been lost or stolen or you
believe your Card or Card Account information has been used without your permission. You may
contact us by calling (855) 459-1334 or by writing to us at Customer Care, P.O. Box 5100, Pasadena,
CA 91117. If you choose to write to us, be sure to include your Card Account number, and, if
applicable, any information about the alleged unauthorized use, including, but not limited to, an
identification of the transaction(s), the dollar amount of the transaction(s), and the identity of the
person who used your Card without authorization, if any of this information is known. You will not be
liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us. You may, however, be liable for
unauthorized use that occurs before your notice to us. In any case, your liability will not exceed $50.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Visa's Zero Liability Policy provides you with protections against
unauthorized Card transactions processed by Visa if you use care in protecting your Card and notify
us immediately of any unauthorized use. We will evaluate any such unauthorized transaction claims
for which you notify us, and we limit your liability for such transactions to $0. However, we may
increase your liability for such transactions if we reasonably determine, based on substantial
evidence, that you were negligent or acted fraudulently in the handling of your Card or Card Account
information.
See the "YOUR BILLING RIGHTS" section below for more information concerning your rights and our
responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act and your potential liability for transactions that are
not covered by this section.
18. Disputes. We are not responsible for refusal by any merchant, financial institution, ATM, or
automated equipment to honor or accept your Card, and we have no responsibility for merchandise
or services obtained by you with your Card, except as provided in the "YOUR BILLING RIGHTS" section
below. You agree to use your best efforts to resolve any dispute concerning merchandise or services
with the applicable merchant.
12
19. Cards. Any Cards that we issue to you belong to us. We, a merchant, or any party acting on our behalf
may retain your Card without prior notice to you. You agree to sign your Card in the space provided
for authorized signatures before you use the Card. Your Card is issued with an expiration date. We
have the right not to renew your Card or Card Account. If we have not closed your Card Account or
exercised our right not to renew your Card Account, we will send you a new Card when your prior
Card expires.
20. No Waiver of Rights. We may delay in enforcing our rights under this Agreement without losing those
rights or any other rights. We may waive enforcement of our rights in one or more instances without
waiving those rights or any other rights in other instances.
21. Our Communications With You. You agree that we (and our affiliates, agents, and contractors) may
monitor or record any calls between you and us for quality control or other business purposes. If we
need to contact you to service your Card Account or to collect amounts you owe to us, you expressly
consent and agree that we (and our affiliates, agents, and contractors) may contact you by written,
electronic, and verbal means, except as otherwise provided by applicable law. This consent includes,
but is not limited to, contact by manual calling methods, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, text
messages, emails, and automatic telephone dialing systems. Except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law, you agree that we may contact you at any number or email address (a) you provide to
us, (b) from which you called or emailed us, or (c) that we obtained and believe we can reach you at.
We may contact you on a mobile, wireless, or similar device, even if you are charged for it by your
provider, except as otherwise provided by applicable law. You agree to promptly notify us if you
change any contact information you provided to us, including your name, mailing address, email
address, and phone number.
22. Assignments and Transfers. Your rights under this Agreement may not be transferred by operation of
law or otherwise. However, your obligations under this Agreement will be binding upon your estate
and personal representatives. We may sell your Card Account and Security Deposit Account and/or
assign or transfer this Agreement and our related rights and obligations without prior notice to you
and without your consent.
23. Cancellation and Change in Terms.
(a) You May Close Your Card Account. You may close your Card Account at any time by notifying us
at (855) 459-1334. We will cancel your Card Account after we receive notice from you and have a
reasonable opportunity to process your notice. You agree that we are not responsible for any
costs, damages, or inconvenience you may suffer as a result of our cancelling your Card Account.
(b) We May Close Your Card Account. Even if you are not in Default, we may: (i) close your Card
Account, (ii) cancel or suspend your privileges to make Purchases or obtain Cash Advances, or (iii)
otherwise cancel or suspend any Card Account privileges or benefits (whether or not such
privileges or benefits are described or referred to in this Agreement). We may do so for any
reason, including Card Account inactivity, in our sole discretion. We will provide you with notice
of any such action if required to do so by applicable law.
(c) No More Transactions if Card Account is Closed. If either you or we close your Card Account, you
may not make further Purchases or Cash Advances with your Card or Card Account. However, you
will remain responsible and must pay for all credit owed to us (extended to you or arising from
use of your Card Account prior to or subsequent to cancellation). We also will return the funds
from your Security Deposit Account to you as described in this Agreement.
13
24. Changing Terms of Your Card Account. We may amend the terms of this Agreement, including the
amount of any Card Account fees, from time to time in our sole discretion. Depending on the nature
of the change, the amendment to this Agreement may, on or after the date on which it becomes
effective, apply to all Debt. If required by applicable law, we will: (a) send notice of the changes to you
and (b) give you the right to opt out of the change. If you opt out of the change, you will be unable to
initiate any further transactions on your Card Account, and you will be required to pay the amount
that you owe us under the terms and conditions of the then-existing Agreement.
25. Governing Law. You understand and agree that: (a) this Agreement is subject to applicable federal
laws and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Utah, and (b) your Card
Account was opened or will be continued after approval by us in the State of Utah. If any provision of
this Agreement conflicts with applicable law, that provision will be considered modified to the extent
necessary to comply with such law.
26. Obtaining Credit Information. When you applied for your Card Account, you authorized us to make
or have made any credit, employment, or other investigative inquiries we deemed appropriate
(including, without limit, obtaining a consumer report) prior to extending credit to you. You also
authorized us to make such inquiries and obtain consumer reports when renewing, updating, or
collecting on your Card Account in the future. Upon your request, we will tell you whether we
obtained a consumer report and the names and addresses of any consumer reporting agencies that
provided such reports.
27. Foreign Transactions. If you use your Card to make a Purchase or Cash Advance in a currency other
than U.S. dollars ("Foreign Transaction"), the merchant, network, or card association that processes
the transaction may convert any related debit or credit into U.S. dollars in accordance with its then-
current policies. Visa currently uses a conversion rate that is either: (a) selected from a range of rates
available in wholesale currency markets on or one day prior to its central or transaction processing
date (which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives) or (b) the government-mandated rate.
The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction and the
date it is posted to your Card Account. We will impose a charge equal to 3% of the amount of the
Foreign Transaction.
We monitor your Card Account for signs of potential fraud, which could include the use of your Card
in a manner that is out of the ordinary. If you are planning on using your Card in a foreign country (for
example, if you are traveling abroad), please let us know in advance. Otherwise, it is possible that your
Foreign Transactions may be delayed or declined. For example, there are some countries in which we
are required by law to block transactions and some countries for which we will not authorize the use
of your Card Account due to fraud, terrorism, or other concerns. Those countries change from time
to time, so contact us in advance if you are planning on using your Card in a foreign country and want
to confirm that the Card can be used in that country.
28. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties. By requesting, obtaining, or using a Card Account, you
agree that we may release information in our records regarding you and your Card Account: (a) to
comply with government agency or court orders; (b) to share your credit performance on your Card
Account with credit reporting agencies and other creditors who we reasonably believe are or may be
doing business with you; (c) to provide information on your Card Account to any third party who we
believe is conducting an inquiry in accordance with the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act; (d) to share
information with our employees, agents, or representatives performing work for us in connection
with your Card Account; or (e) as otherwise permitted by our Privacy Policy.
14
29. Furnishing Information to Third Parties. If you believe that we have furnished any inaccurate
information relating to your Card Account to any consumer reporting agency, you may notify us at
P.O. Box 5100, Pasadena, CA 91117. To help us respond to your notification, you must include your
Card Account number, Social Security Number, the name of the consumer reporting agency reflecting
the inaccurate information, and an explanation of why you believe the information is inaccurate. You
understand that you may also contact the appropriate consumer reporting agency directly.
30. Negative Credit Reports. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT A NEGATIVE CREDIT REPORT REFLECTING
YOUR CREDIT HISTORY WITH US MAY BE SUBMITTED TO A CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY IF YOU FAIL
TO FULFILL THE TERMS OF YOUR CREDIT OBLIGATIONS. LATE PAYMENTS, MISSED PAYMENTS, OR
OTHER DEFAULTS ON YOUR CARD ACCOUNT MAY BE REFLECTED IN YOUR CREDIT REPORT.
31. Force Majeure. We will not be liable for any loss, expense, failure to perform, or delay caused by
failure of communication systems, accidents, strikes, fire, flood, pandemic, war, riot, civil strife,
terrorist attack, earthquake, power outage, funds transfer system or government rules, acts of third
parties, or any cause that is beyond our reasonable control.
32. Military Annual Percentage Rate Disclosure. Federal law provides important protections to active
duty members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit.
In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent
may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the
credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary
products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than
certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee
charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account). To hear this same disclosure
and for a general description of your payment obligations for this credit card account, call the
following toll-free number (855) 459-1334.
33. Covered Borrower Savings Clause. The provisions of this section apply only to a "Covered Borrower"
as that term is defined by 32 C.F.R. § 232.3(g). If any contract provision not identified herein is contrary
to the rights and protections afforded to you by federal law pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 987 and its
implementing regulations, including, but not limited to 32 C.F.R. § 232.8, then the conflicting
provisions or proscribed terms are inoperative and shall have no force and effect. However, all
remaining contract terms and provisions not proscribed or prohibited will remain in full force and
effect.
34. State Disclosures.
Kentucky Residents: You may pay the unpaid balance of your Card Account in whole or in part at any
time.
Maryland Residents: Finance charges will be imposed on your Card Account in amounts or at rates
not in excess of those permitted by law.
New Jersey Residents: Because certain provisions of this Agreement are subject to applicable law,
they may be void, unenforceable, or inapplicable in some jurisdictions. None of these provisions,
however, is void, unenforceable, or inapplicable in New Jersey.
35. ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. PLEASE READ
THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
15
PURSUANT TO 10 U.S.C § 987 AND ITS IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR A
CREDITOR TO REQUIRE A "COVERED BORROWER," AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED BY 32 C.F.R. §
232.3(G), TO SUBMIT DISPUTES TO ARBITRATION OR TO WAIVE HIS/HER RIGHT TO LEGAL
RECOURSE UNDER STATE OR FEDERAL LAW. ACCORDINGLY, THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION
NOTICE AND ARBITRATION CLAUSE DO NOT APPLY TO COVERED BORROWERS.
(a) Acknowledgment of Arbitration. Your Card Account is being made available and priced by the
Bank on the basis of your acceptance of the following arbitration provision. By requesting your
Card Account, you acknowledge that you are giving up the right to litigate Claims (as defined
below) if either party elects arbitration of the Claims pursuant to this provision, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, and you hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive the right
to trial of all Claims subject to this Agreement. You further acknowledge that you have read this
arbitration provision carefully, agree to its terms, and are entering into this Agreement
voluntarily and not in reliance on any promises or representations whatsoever except those
contained in this Agreement.
(b) Arbitration of Claims. Except as expressly provided herein, any claim, dispute, or controversy
(whether based upon contract; tort, intentional or otherwise; constitution; statute; common law;
or equity and whether pre-existing, present, or future), including initial claims, counter-claims,
cross-claims, and third-party claims, arising from or relating to: (i) your Card or Card Account; (ii)
any service relating to your Card or Card Account; (iii) the marketing of your Card or Card Account;
(iv) this Agreement, including the validity, enforceability, interpretation, scope, or application of
this Agreement and this arbitration provision (except for the prohibition on class or other non-
individual claims, which will be for a court to decide); and (v) any other agreement or instrument
relating to your Card or Card Account or any related service ("Claim") will be decided, upon the
election of you or the Bank (or Green Dot Corporation or the Bank's agents, employees,
successors, representatives, affiliated companies, or assigns), by binding arbitration. Arbitration
replaces the right to litigate a claim in court or to have a jury trial. The American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") will serve as the arbitration administrator. You may obtain copies of the
current rules, forms, and instructions for initiating an arbitration with the AAA by contacting the
AAA as follows: online at www.adr.org or by writing to the AAA at: American Arbitration
Association, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043.
(c) Other Claims Subject to Arbitration. In addition to Claims brought by either you or the Bank,
Claims made by or against Green Dot Corporation or by or against anyone connected with you or
the Bank or claiming through you or the Bank (including a second cardholder, employee, agent,
representative, affiliated company, predecessor or successor, heir, assignee, or trustee in
bankruptcy) will be subject to arbitration as described herein.
(d) Exceptions. We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate any individual Claim you bring in small
claims court or an equivalent court so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. This
arbitration provision also does not limit or constrain the Bank's right to interplead funds in the
event of claims to funds by several parties.
(e) Individual Claims Only. Claims may be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Claims
subject to this arbitration provision may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with any
Claim of any other person or be arbitrated on a class basis, in a representative capacity on behalf
of the general public or on behalf of any other person, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties
in writing. However, co-applicants, second cardholders, and authorized users of a single Card
16
and/or related cards are considered as one person, and the Bank, its officers, directors,
employees, agents, and affiliates are considered as one person.
(f) Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration, the Bank will advance any arbitration fees, including
any required deposit. If the Bank initiates or elects arbitration, the Bank will pay the entire amount
of the arbitration fees, including any required deposit. The Bank will also be responsible for
payment and/or reimbursement of any arbitration fees to the extent that such fees exceed the
amount of the filing fees you would have incurred if your Claim had been brought in the state or
federal court nearest your residence with jurisdiction over the Claims.
(g) Procedure. A single arbitrator will resolve the Claims. The arbitrator will be a lawyer with at least
ten years' experience or who is a former or retired judge. The arbitration will follow the AAA's
rules and procedures in effect on the date the arbitration is filed, except when there is a conflict
or inconsistency between the AAA's rules and procedures and this arbitration provision, in which
case this arbitration provision will govern. Any in-person arbitration hearing for a Claim will take
place within the federal judicial district in which you live or at such other reasonably convenient
location as agreed by the parties. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent
with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (the "FAA"), and will honor all claims of
privilege and confidentiality recognized at law. All statutes of limitations that would otherwise be
applicable will apply to any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant
whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any appropriate court may
enter judgment upon the arbitrator's aware. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a
transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the FAA.
36. YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Billing Statement:
If you think there is an error on your billing statement, write to us at:
GO2bank
P.O. Box 5100
Pasadena, CA 91117
In your letter, give us the following information:
Account information: Your name and Card Account number.
Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your billing statement, describe what
you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
Within 60 days after the error appeared on your billing statement.
At least 3 Business Days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop
payment on the amount you think is wrong.
You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required
to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
17
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter:
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
(1) Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will
also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
(2) Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why
we believe the billing statement is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
The charge in question may remain on your billing statement, and we may continue to charge
you interest on that amount.
While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder
of your balance.
We can apply any unpaid amount against your Credit Limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or
other fees related to that amount.
If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along
with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and
the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount
we think you owe.
If you receive our explanation but still believe your billing statement is wrong, you must write to us
within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent
without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to
whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter
has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you
question even if your billing statement is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases:
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your Card, and you
have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay
the remaining amount due on the Purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
(1) The Purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current
mailing address, and the Purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of
these are necessary if your Purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you or if
we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
(2) You must have used your Card for the Purchase. Purchases made with Cash Advances from
an ATM or with a check that accesses your Card Account do not qualify.
(3) You must not yet have fully paid for the Purchase.
18
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the Purchase, contact us in
writing at:
GO2bank
P.O. Box 5100
Pasadena, CA 91117
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish
our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you
do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
37. SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Security Agreement governs your Security Deposit Account.
(a) Grant of Security Interest in the Security Deposit Account. To secure all Debt arising under your
Card Account and under the terms of this Agreement, you assign, transfer, pledge, grant a security
interest in, and set over to us all of your rights, title, and interest in the Security Deposit Account
and in all renewals, substitutions of, and additions and proceeds of the Security Deposit Account.
Your Security Deposit Account does not secure any obligations to us other than the Debt. No
portion of the Security Deposit Account will be available to you or may be used to secure other
loans.
(b) Our Rights Over Your Security Deposit Account. The security interest, pledge, and assignment in
your Security Deposit Account given to us by you includes and gives the Bank the right to make
settlements or compromises on your Security Deposit Account; transfer your Security Deposit
Account to the Bank's own name; or exercise ownership rights on your Security Deposit Account.
You waive any right to require the Bank to: (i) proceed against you or any other person;
(ii) proceed against or exhaust any security you have provided to us through other agreements;
or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Bank's power. The Bank may, without prior notice, and
from time to time: (1) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the terms
relating to the Debt; (2) take and hold security (other than the Security Deposit Account) for
payment of the Debt and enforce, exchange, and release the security in any manner that the Bank
determines is proper; (3) release or substitute you, any guarantor, or any endorser of the Debt;
and (4) increase or lower the Credit Limit on your Card Account, and no such action will change
the fact that the Security Deposit Account at all times will be held by the Bank as security for the
Debt.
(c) Events of Default. The Bank may, without prior notice, declare you in Default. If you Default, the
Bank may declare the Debt immediately due and payable. The Bank may also exercise all the rights
of an owner of the Security Deposit Account.
(d) Our Rights Upon Your Default. Upon any Default, we are authorized to act as owner of your
Security Deposit Account and to apply all or any portion of the funds in your Security Deposit
Account to repayment of the Debt and Bank's costs in enforcing its rights hereunder. The Bank is
irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of executing any instruments
required to satisfy the Debt.
(e) Closing Your Security Deposit Account; Returning the Funds. You may not close your Security
Deposit Account until your obligations under this Agreement have been fully paid and your Card
19
Account is closed. We may, in our discretion, close your Security Deposit Account at any time. If
you or we close your Security Deposit Account, we may return the funds in your Security Deposit
Account to you by any of the following means: (i) by a transfer of the funds to your GO2bank Bank
Account; (ii) by sending a check to you at the address we have in our records; or (iii) some other
method deemed sufficient by us. However, if the balance in your Security Deposit Account is $1.00
or less, we will not issue a refund to you unless you request it in writing. In addition, we may use
the funds in your Security Deposit Account to pay any balances on your Card Account. You agree
that if your Card Account is closed for any reason, we may apply the funds in your Security Deposit
Account to pay off any balance on your Card Account. We also may hold the funds in your Security
Deposit Account for as long as 60 days after you have paid off your Card Account balance and
your Card Account is closed. If a check we send to you is returned as undeliverable or if we cannot
locate you, we will hold the funds from your Security Deposit Account until you either contact us
and provide information on how to send the funds to you or until we are required to remit your
funds to a state under an applicable unclaimed property law, whichever occurs first. For this
reason, it is important that you promptly notify us if you change any contact information you
provide to us, including your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
(f) Our Liability to You. We will have no liability to you with respect to your Security Deposit Account,
other than as provided in this Security Agreement. We will meet our duty to care for your Security
Deposit Account if we exercise ordinary care in the transaction at issue. "Ordinary care" requires
only that we follow standards that do not vary unreasonably from the general standards followed
by similarly situated banks. A mere clerical error, or an honest mistake, will not be considered a
failure of the Bank to perform any of its obligations.
(g) Withdrawals. Your Security Deposit Account serves as the collateral for your Card Account. It may
not be used to secure any other loans. The Bank has the right to require at least seven days'
written notice before you withdraw or transfer money from your Security Deposit Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you may not withdraw funds or exercise any other
rights over your Security Deposit Account until your obligations under this Agreement have been
fully paid and your Card Account has been closed. See the "Closing Your Security Deposit Account;
Returning the Funds" section above for terms and conditions regarding return of the funds and
closure of your Card Account.
(h) Non-Interest Bearing Security Deposit Account. No interest will be paid on your Security Deposit
Account.
(i) Fees. There are no fees for your Security Deposit Account.
(j) Minimum Balance Limitations. The minimum balance to open your Security Deposit Account is
the amount of your Credit Line, which will not be less than $100. Neither your Card Account nor
your Security Deposit Account will be opened until we have received the minimum balance.
(k) Deposits to Your Security Deposit Account. Other than depositing funds to secure your Card
Account, you cannot make deposits to your Security Deposit Account. You may only deposit funds
to your Security Deposit Account to secure your Card Account by transferring funds from your
GO2bank Bank Account via our Website or Mobile App.
(i) Your Initial Deposit. The initial deposit to fund your Security Deposit Account must be at least
$100.
20
(ii) Subsequent Deposits. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you may make
deposits to your Security Deposit Account to secure your Card Account at any time, up to your
Credit Limit. If you attempt to make a deposit that would cause the balance of your Security
Deposit Account to exceed your Credit Limit, we may reject the deposit. If we allow the
deposit, we are not required to allow deposits in the future. In addition, increasing the
balance of your Security Deposit Account will not necessarily increase your Credit Line. If you
choose to make deposits to your Security Deposit Account to secure your Card Account, each
deposit must be for at least $1.00.
(I) Deposit Insurance. Your Security Deposit Account is insured up to the regulatory limits prescribed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). For further information regarding insurance
of accounts, you may write to the FDIC at 550 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20429,
telephone the FDIC's toll free consumer hotline at 877-275-3342, or visit its website
at
www.fdic.gov. Please note that GO2bank operates under the following registered trade names:
Green Dot Bank, GoBank, and Bonneville Bank. All of these registered trade names are used by,
and refer to, a single FDIC-insured bank, Green Dot Bank. Deposits under any of these trade names
are deposits with Green Dot Bank and are aggregated for deposit insurance coverage.
(m) Electronic Fund Transfer Disclosures.
(i)
Transfer Types and Limitations. The only kind of electronic fund transfers that may be made
to your Security Deposit Account are transfers from your GO2bank Bank Account
("Transfers") to fund your Security Deposit Account. See the "Deposits to Your Security
Deposit Account" section for limitations on depositing funds to your Security Deposit Account.
Electronic fund transfers cannot be made from your Security Deposit Account. See the
"Withdrawals" section above.
(ii) Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a Transfer to your Security
Deposit Account on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, we will be
liable for your losses or damages under section 910 of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Title
IX of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1693 et seq.). However, there are some
exceptions. We will not be liable for instance: (1) if through no fault of ours, your GO2bank
Bank Account has insufficient funds for the Transfer or the funds are unavailable for
withdrawal from your GO2bank Bank Account (e.g., because they have not been finally
collected or are subject to legal process); (2) if the transaction would exceed your overdraft
limit, if any, for your GO2bank Bank Account; (3) if we have limited or revoked your GO2bank
Bank Account privileges, or if we have reason to believe the transaction is not authorized by
you; (4) if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, pandemic, water damage,
power failure, strike, labor dispute, computer breakdown, telephone line disruption, or a
natural disaster) or a rolling blackout prevent or delay the Transfer despite reasonable
precautions taken by us; or (5) as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
(iii) In Case of Errors or Questions about your Transfers. Call us at (855) 459-1334 or write us at
P.O. Box 5100, Pasadena, CA 91117 as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt
is wrong or if you need more information about a Transfer listed on the statement or receipt.
We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the
problem or error appeared. When notifying us, you will need to tell us: (1) your name and
Card Account number; (2) why you believe there is an error and the dollar amount involved;
and (3) approximately when the error took place. If you tell us orally, we may require that you
21
also send us your complaint or question in writing within ten Business Days. We will
determine whether an error occurred within ten Business Days after we hear from you and
will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days
to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provide a provisional
credit your Security Deposit Account within ten Business Days for the amount you think is in
error, so that you will have the benefit of your money during the time it takes us to complete
our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing, and we do not
receive it within ten Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your Security Deposit
Account. For errors involving a new Security Deposit Account, we may take up to 90 days to
investigate your complaint or question and we may take up to 20 Business Days to provide a
provisional credit to your Security Deposit Account for the amount you think is in error. We
will tell you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we
decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies
of the documents that we used in our investigation.
(iv) Statements. We will provide periodic statements for your Security Deposit Account (as part
of your billing statement for your Card Account) to you electronically by notifying you by email
that your billing statement is available. When you receive this email, you will need to log in to
your Card Account via the Website and Mobile App to view and print your billing statement.
(n) Legal Actions Affecting Your Security Deposit Account. Your Security Deposit Account may be
subject to legal action, such as a tax levy, third-party garnishment or levy, seizure, or forfeiture.
Such legal action is subject to the Bank's security interest and right of setoff. Fees or expenses the
Bank incurs in responding to legal action (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and the
Bank's internal expenses) may be charged against your Security Deposit Account.
(o) Adverse Claims. If we receive a claim to all or a portion of your Security Deposit Account that is
adverse to your interest and we do not believe that we are otherwise adequately protected if we
ignore that claim, we may place a hold on funds that are subject to the claim. The hold may be
placed for any period of time we believe to be reasonably necessary to allow a legal proceeding
to determine the merits of the claim to be instituted.
(p) Information Given to Third Parties. We may disclose information to third parties about you and
your Security Deposit Account: (i) where it is necessary or helpful for completing transactions; (ii)
in order to verify the existence and condition of your Security Deposit Account for a third party;
(iii) in order to comply with government agency or court orders; (iv) if you give us your consent;
(v) to service providers who administer your Security Deposit Account or perform data processing,
records management, collections, and other similar services for us, in order that they may
perform those services; (vi) in order to identify, prevent, investigate, or report possible suspicious
or illegal activity; (vii) to disclose the existence, history, and condition of your Security Deposit
Account to consumer reporting agencies; and (viii) as permitted by our Privacy Policy. See our
Privacy Policy for further details. We may also disclose information that is not personally
identifiable for other purposes.
