VISA CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT (Keep this for your records)  

1. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for Purchases is fixed, based on your credit 
worthiness. 

information regarding your account to credit bureaus and other creditors who inquire 
of us about your credit standing, to the extent authorized by our By-Laws. 

2. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for Cash Advances is fixed, based on your 
credit worthiness. 

3. Late Fee: If the minimum required payment is not received by the 26th  of every 
month a late charge of a maximum of $25.00 will be imposed. 

10. Monthly Payment. We will mail you a statement every month showing your 
Previous Balance of purchases and cash advances, the current transactions on your 
account, the remaining credit available under your Credit Line, the New Balances of 
purchases and cash advances, the Total New Balance, the FINANCE CHARGE due to 
date, any other billed fees, and the Minimum Payment required. 
Every month you must pay at least the Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date. 
You may, of course, pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment, or 

4. Average Daily Balance (including current transactions): We figure the interest 
charge on your account by applying the periodic rate to the <average daily balance=  pay the Total New Balance in full—and you will reduce the FINANCE CHARGE by doing 
of your account. To get the <average daily balance= we take the beginning balance 
of your account each day, add any new [purchases/advances/fees], and subtract 
[any unpaid interest or other finance charges and] any payments or credits. This 
gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing 
cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us 
the <average daily balance.= 

so. The Minimum Payment will be (a) 2% of your Total New Visa Balance, or $25.00 
whichever is greater, or (b) your Total New Balance, if it is less than $25.00 plus (c) 
any portion of the Minimum Payment(s) shown on prior statement(s) which remains 
unpaid. 
We will apply any payments we receive from you in excess of the Minimum Payment 
due to the balance with the highest annual percentage rate and any remaining 
portion to the other balances in descending order from the highest APR based on the 
applicable APR in accordance with the law. 

5. Responsibility. If we issue you a card, you agree to repay all debts and the 
FINANCE CHARGE arising from the use of the card and the card account. For 
example, you are responsible for charges made by yourself, your spouse and minor   11. Default. You will be in default if you fail to make any Minimum Payment within 25 
children or any other authorized user. You are also responsible for charges made 
by anyone else to whom you give the card, and this responsibility continues until 
the card is recovered. You cannot disclaim responsibility by notifying us, but we will  in your obligations, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving you, your death 
close the account for new transactions if you so request and return all cards. Your 
obligation to pay the account balance continues even though an agreement, 
divorce decree or other court judgment to which we are not a party may direct you  account balance if you default, subject to our giving you any notice required by law.

responsible for all charges on the account including yours. 

days after your monthly statement closing date. You will also be in default if your 
ability to repay us is materially reduced by a change in your employment, an increase 

or your failure to abide by this Agreement, or if the value of our security interest 
materially declines. We have the right to demand immediate payment of your full 

To the extent permitted by law, you will also be required to pay our collection

fraudulent in the handling of the account or card. 

12. Using the Card. To make a purchase or cash advance, present the card to a 
participating VISA  merchant, to us or, to another financial institution, and sign the 
sales slip or cash advance draft. You may also use your Personal Identification 
Number (PIN) in conjunction with the card in an Automated Teller Machine or other 
type of electronic terminal. You will retain your copy of sales drafts, cash advance or 
credit slips to verify your transactions with the monthly statement. We reserve the 
right to make a reasonable charge for photocopies of slips you may request. A card 
may not be used for illegal transactions such as Online Internet Gambling.

not to disclose or otherwise make available your PIN to anyone not authorized to sign 
on your Accounts. If you authorize anyone to use your PIN that authority shall 
continue until you provide us with express revocation of that authority. If you fail to 
maintain your PIN security and we sustain a loss, we may terminate all services on 
your Accounts immediately. To keep your Account secure, do not write your PIN on 
your Card or keep it in the same place as your Card.  

7. Credit Line. If we approve your application, we will establish a self-replenishing 
Line of Credit for you and notify you of its amount when we issue the card. Your 
Line of Credit for cash advances will be one-half of the overall credit limit 
established for you. This Line of Credit for cash advances is part of not in addition 
to your established Line of Credit.  You agree not to let the account balance exceed     
this approved Credit Line. Each payment you make on the account will restore your  14. Returns and Adjustments. Merchants and others who honor the Card may give

your Credit Line from time to time, or with good cause, revoke your card and 
terminate this Agreement. Good cause includes your failure to comply with this 
Agreement, or our adverse reevaluation of your creditworthiness. You may also 
terminate this Agreement at any time, but termination by either of us does not 
affect your obligation to pay the account balance. 
The cards remain our property and you must recover and surrender to us all cards 
upon request. 

15. Foreign Transactions. Purchases and cash advances made in foreign countries and 
foreign currencies will be billed to you in U.S. dollars. The conversion rate to dollars

whichever is applicable, in effect one day prior to the processing date, increased by 
one percent. 

8. Copy Received. You acknowledge a receipt of a copy of this Agreement. 

9. Credit Information. You authorize us to investigate your credit standing when 
opening, renewing or reviewing your account, and you authorize us to disclose 

16. Security Interest. To secure your account, you grant us a purchase money security 
interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in any goods you purchase through the 
account. If you default, we will have the right to recover any of these goods which

described in paragraph 10. 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 if 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. 

17. Effect of Agreement. This Agreement is the contract which applies to all 
transactions on your account even though the sales, cash advance, credit or other 
slips you sign or receive may contain different terms. We may amend this 
Agreement from time to time by sending you a 45 day advance written notice 
required by law. Your use of the card thereafter will indicate your agreement to the   
amendments. To the extent the law permits, and we indicate in our notice, 
amendments will apply to your existing account balance as well as to future 
transactions. You have the right to reject a change in terms prior to the effective 
date thereof by calling us toll free at 1-866-273-3281 or by mailing us at: 1380 
Market Ave North Canton Ohio 44714. In such case, your account will be 
terminated or suspended and no further credit will be available to you. You will 
remain liable to pay the balance then due under the existing terms. The right to 
reject a change in terms does not apply if we have not received a required 
minimum payment within 60 days after the due date for that payment. 

18. 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 out your VISA Account 
and issue you a new card. 

19. Using VISA Convenience Checks. From time to time, we may issue You VISA 
Convenience Checks for use as you would use a VISA Card to make a purchase or 
payment or to receive cash. Your VISA Convenience Checks directly access your 
VISA Account. All VISA Convenience Checks paid by us are treated as Cash 
Advances hereunder and, except as otherwise indicated, are subject to all terms of 
this Agreement pertaining to Cash Advances and to the following additional terms:

YOUR BILLING  RIGHTS4KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE 
This notice contains  important information  about your rights and our responsibilities  under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 

Notify us In Case of Errors or Questions  About Your Bill 
If you think there is an error on your statement,  write to us at: 

CSE Federal  Credit Union 
1380  Market  Ave 
N Canton,  OH 
44714 

In your letter,  give us the following information: 
• Account  information:  Your name  and account number. 
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected  error. 
• Description  of Problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, 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 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 [or electronically].  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. 

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 bill is correct. 

While we investigate  whether or not there has been an error, the following are true: 
• 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 statement,  and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. But, 
if we determine  that we made a mistake,  you will not have to pay the amount in question  or any interest or other fees 
related  to 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 bill 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 bill 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 credit 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 credit card for the purchase. Purchases  made with cash advances  from  an ATM or with a 
check  that accesses  your credit  card account  do not qualify. 

3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied 
with the purchase, contact us in writing [or electronically]  at: 

CSE Federal  Credit Union 
1380  Market  Ave N 
Canton,  Ohio 44714 

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. 

By signing below, you are granting us a security interest in any of your share accounts  with us to secure payment of your 
Visa Account.   You authorize us to apply any funds in your share accounts  to the balance owing on your Visa Account if 
you should default.
