Summary  of  Interest  Rate  Information:  Annual  Percentage  Rates  (“APRs”)  below  with  a  (V)  vary  (increase  or  decrease)  with  the 
market based on the prime rate (index). The specific rate received by a consumer was based on the consumer’s creditworthiness at the 
time  of  account  opening.  The  Penalty  APR  may  be  applied  to  the  consumer’s  account  if  the  consumer  makes  a  late  payment.  If  the 
APRs  on  an  account  are  increased  for  this  reason,  the  Penalty  APR  will  apply  until  the  consumer  makes  six  consecutive  minimum 
payments by the applicable due date.

Paying  Interest  (grace  period):  The  due  date  on  an  account  is  at  least  21  days  after  the  close  of  each  billing  cycle.  No  interest  is 
charged on new purchases appearing on the consumer’s current statement if the consumer paid in full the “New Balance” shown on the 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
consumer’s  previous  statement  and  the  payment  was  received  by  that  due  date.  We  begin  charging  interest  on  cash  advances  and 
balance transfers on the transaction date. 

Balance Computation Method: The method used to calculate the balances subject to interest on a consumer’s account is called the 
“average daily balance (including new purchases).” Here are the details about this calculation method for purchases, balance transfers 
and cash advances:  

•  How  we  calculate  the  balance  on  purchases  (including  balance  transfers):  (1)  We  start  with  the  unpaid  amount  of 
purchases for the current billing cycle, which may include unpaid interest and fees from previous billing cycles. (2) Each day 
we  subtract  any  payments  or  credits  that  apply  to  purchases.  We  add  any  new  purchases,  any  new  fees  that  apply  to 
purchases,  and  any  interest  on  the  previous  day’s  purchase  balance  if  you  have  not  paid  in  full  the  New  Balance  on  your 
previous statement by the due date. This gives us the daily balance of purchases.  (3) Then we add up all the daily balances of 
purchases  for  the  billing  cycle  and  divide  by  the  total  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle.  This  gives  us  the  “average  daily 
balance  of  purchases”  for  the  current  billing  cycle.  (Although  balance  transfers  are  calculated  as  part  of  the  average  daily 
balances (including new purchases), there is no grace period for balance transfers). 

•  How  we  calculate  the  balance  on  cash  advances:  (1)  We  start  with  the  unpaid  amount  of  cash  advances,  which  may 
include unpaid interest and fees from previous billing cycles. (2) Each day we subtract any payments or credits that apply to 
cash  advances.  Then  we  add  any  new  cash  advances,  any  new  fees  that  apply  to  cash  advances,  and  any  interest  on  the 
previous  day’s  cash  advance  balance.  This  gives  us  the  daily  balance  of  cash  advances.  (3)  Then  we  add  up  all  the  daily 
balances of cash advances for the billing cycle and divide by the total number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the 
“average daily balance of cash advances.” 

Variable Rate Information:    

How We Calculate Interest On Purchases (including balance transfers). We will calculate interest on purchases by multiplying the 
“average daily balance of purchases” by the total number of days in the billing cycle, and multiplying the product by the applicable daily 
periodic  rate  of  interest  then  in  effect.  The  daily  periodic  rate  of  interest  for  each  billing  cycle  shall  be  computed  by  adding  a  margin 
(“Margin For Purchases”) to the value of the index and dividing by 365. The corresponding annual percentage rate will be the index plus 
the Margin For Purchases. (See the chart above for the range of margins, daily periodic rates and APRs that apply.)  

How  We  Calculate  the  Interest  on  Cash  Advances.  We  will  calculate  interest  on  cash  advances  by  multiplying  the  “average  daily 
balance  of  cash  advances”  by  the  total  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle,  and  multiplying  the  product  by  the  daily  periodic  rate  of 
interest then in effect. The daily periodic rate of interest for each billing cycle shall be a rate computed by adding a margin (“Margin For 
Cash Advances”) to the value of the index and dividing by 365. The corresponding annual percentage rate will be the index plus the 
Margin For Cash Advances. (See the chart above for the range of margins, daily periodic rates and APRs that apply.) 

How We Calculate the Interest if the Penalty APR (Default Rate) is in Effect for Purchases (including balance transfers) and 
Cash Advances. If the Penalty APR is in effect for purchases (including balance transfers) and cash advances, the daily periodic rate 
of interest for each billing cycle shall be computed by adding a margin (“Margin for Penalty APR”) to the value of the index and dividing 
by  365.  The  corresponding  annual  percentage  rate  will  be  the  index  plus  the  Margin  for  Penalty  APR.  (See  the  chart  above  for  the 
range of margins, daily periodic rates and APRs that apply.) 

The Index We Use to Calculate Interest:  If you have a variable APR, your APR is based in part on the value of an index. Some credit 
card accounts are subject to a different index from others. The indexes we use are as follows: 

INDEX  A.  The  periodic  rate  of  interest  and  corresponding  annual  percentage  rate  for  purchases  (including  balance  transfers),  cash 
advances, and any Penalty APR in effect are based on the value of an index (“Index”). The Index in effect for each billing cycle shall be 
the “Prime Rate” of interest appearing in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal published on the 20th day of the month 
preceding  the  first  day  of  such  billing  cycle  or,  if  The  Wall  Street  Journal  is  not  published  on  such  date,  the  next  day  on  which  such 
Prime Rate is published. Any increase or decrease in the value of the Index will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the 
periodic  rates  of  interest  and  annual  percentage  rates  that  apply  to  your  Account.  Any  change  to  periodic  rates  of  interest  and 
corresponding annual percentage rates that are a result of a change to the Index will be effective as of the first day of the applicable 
billing cycle. An increase or decrease in the annual percentage rate will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of 
the interest, and in the minimum payment amount (unless the minimum payment is equal to or less than $10). 

INDEX B. The periodic rate of interest and corresponding annual percentage rate for purchases (including balance transfers) and cash 
advances are subject to change once each year, beginning with the billing cycle closing in September, based on the value of an index 
(“Index”). The Index in effect for each billing cycle shall be the “Prime Rate” of interest appearing in the Money Rates section of The 
Wall Street Journal published on the 20th day of May each year, rounded upward to the nearest .001%. An increase or decrease in the 
value of the Index will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the periodic rates of interest and annual percentage rates, the 
amount of the interest and in the minimum payment amount (unless the minimum payment is equal to or less than $10) applicable to 
your account.

1.  DEFINITIONS. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean PNC Bank, National Association and its successors and assignees. “You” 
and “your” mean each person who, verbally or in writing (including electronically), applies or accepts our offer for, or 
who otherwise agrees to be financially responsible with respect to, the Account. “Account” means your VISA® or 
MasterCard® credit card account with us. “Agreement” means this PNC Bank Consumer Credit Card Agreement. 
“Card” or “Cards” means any credit card(s) we issue to you for your Account. “Card Mailer” means a document we 
provide to you to which your Card(s) is/are attached. “Change” or “Changes” means any modifications of, or additions

Rate and Fee Disclosures provided with this Agreement. “Penalty APR” is defined in Section 10.D of this Agreement. 
“Statement” is defined in Section 8 of this Agreement. Other terms are defined elsewhere in this Agreement. 

2. AGREEMENT TO TERMS. We have opened the Account at your request. Your signature on an application or offer 

certificate, your acceptance verbally or electronically of an offer and/or the Account, and/or your or an authorized user’s 
use of the Account in any way means you agree to all the terms of this Agreement and you will be obligated by this 
Agreement unless you close the Account before you or an authorized user uses it. Disclosures provided at the time of 
application, the Interest Rate and Fee Disclosures, the Card Mailer (except for our Privacy Principles as described in 
Section 28 of this Agreement), and any disclosures we provide with any Checks are part of and incorporated into this 
Agreement. This Agreement begins on the date that we make a final decision to open your Account. 

3. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT. You agree that, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, we may  
change at any time any of the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, annual percentage rates, 
fees, and whether the annual percentage rates are non-variable or variable.  

We will notify you of any Change if required by applicable law. In addition, if required by applicable law, the 
notice will tell you of any right you may have, and any steps you must take, to reject the Changes. Any 
required notice will be sent to you at your address shown on our records.  

If you properly notify us that you reject the Changes, your Account will be closed, you will be obligated to pay 
your outstanding balance under the terms of the Agreement and any Changes that, under applicable law, you 
were permitted to reject will not take effect on your Account. If your Account is closed, if we ask, you agree to 
return all Cards and Checks. If you do not properly notify us that you reject the Changes by the date stated in 
the notice, you will be deemed to have accepted all Changes in the notice and to have accepted and confirmed 
all terms of your Agreement.  

4. USE OF ACCOUNT. You must sign a Card in order to use it. A Card may be used for purchases of goods and services 
from a participating merchant for personal, family and household purposes only. You can get cash advances from us or 
from another participating financial institution by using an automated teller machine (ATM), by issuing a Check against 
your Account, or through any other means we offer. Cash advances also include the use of your Account to purchase 
Cash Equivalent Items. “Cash Equivalent Items” means traveler’s checks; money orders; wire transfers; gift cards; 
lottery, betting and gambling purchases; and payments made to government entities. The Account may not be used for 
lottery, betting or gambling transactions if such transactions are made through the internet, or for any illegal 
transactions. We may refuse a request for a purchase, Balance Transfer or cash advance or return any Check unpaid if 
your right to use the Account has been revoked, if the transaction would cause you to exceed your applicable 
Revolving Credit Limit or Cash Advance Limit (defined in Section 5), or if you are in default on the Account (“default” is 
explained in Section 22). We are not responsible for refusal by anyone to honor a Card or Check. Except as described 
in the “Your Billing Rights” section of this Agreement, we have no liability for any claim you may have arising out of any 
purchases made with a Card. 

5.  CREDIT LIMIT. Your “Revolving Credit Limit” is the maximum amount we allow you to carry over from Billing Cycle to 

Billing Cycle as a revolving line of credit. Your separate “Cash Advance Limit” is part of the total Revolving Credit Limit. 
We will tell you the amount of your Revolving Credit Limit and Cash Advance Limit. They will be printed on the Card 
Mailer and on your Statement. We may, at our discretion, approve purchases in excess of your Revolving Credit Limit. 
You agree not to obtain cash advances that would cause your Account to exceed the Cash Advance Limit. If you do, 
we can still charge you for all cash advances without giving up any of our rights under this Agreement. We may change 
your Revolving Credit Limit or Cash Advance Limit at any time and for any reason, including changes based on a 
review of the performance of your Account and/or periodic consumer credit reports we obtain from consumer reporting 
agencies. 

6. AGREEMENT TO PAY. You agree to pay all amounts due on your Account. If your Account is a joint Account, each of 
you  is jointly and individually responsible for all amounts due on the Account. If you let someone else use the Account, 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
you are responsible for all charges made by that person, whether or not you have notified us that the person will be 
using your Account and whether or not the amount of the actual use exceeds your permission. 

7. MINIMUM PAYMENT; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. You must pay at least the “Minimum Revolving Payment” each 
month by the due date shown on your Statement. The Minimum Revolving Payment will be the largest of: (A) $25; or 
(B) 2.5% of the “New Balance” shown on your Statement, plus any past due amounts; or (C)1.0% of the New Balance 
plus (i) the total interest (including any minimum interest charge) shown on your Statement, AND (ii) any fees listed in 
Section 11 of this Agreement shown on your Statement (except any annual fee or foreign transaction fee). If your New 
Balance is less than $25, you must pay us the total New Balance. In addition to the Minimum Revolving Payment, you 
agree to pay the “Non-Revolving Payment” shown on your Statement each month by the due date shown on your 
Statement. The Non-Revolving Payment amount is any amount your New Balance is in excess of your Revolving 
Credit Limit. Your “Total Amount Due” is your Minimum Revolving Payment and your entire Non-Revolving Payment. 
You may pay any or all of the New Balance of your Account at any time without incurring any prepayment 
charge. If you pay more than the Total Amount Due, you still must pay at least the Total Amount Due each time we 
send you a Statement. With regard to each payment you make, we will decide in accordance with applicable law the 
application of your payment. Any payment you make in excess of the Minimum Revolving Payment will be allocated to 
balances with higher annual percentage rates before balances with lower annual percentage rates. Your Minimum 
Revolving Payment will be allocated to balances at our discretion. You cannot use a convenience check drawn on us to 
make a payment. All payments, including any payments made by check, must be in U.S. dollars and must be made in 
accordance with the payment terms and conditions provided in your Statement. We will credit your Account in 
accordance with those terms and conditions and the terms and conditions in this Agreement subject to applicable law. 
If you pay us by check, your check must be drawn on an account maintained at a financial institution located in the 
United States. We may allow you, from time to time, to skip one or more monthly payments, and we will notify you 
when this option is available. If you elect to skip a payment, interest will continue to accrue, and the requirement to pay 
your Total Amount Due each month will resume following the skip payment period. IMPORTANT INFORMATION 
ABOUT CREDIT AVAILABILITY:  In order to ensure there is enough time for a payment to clear the account on which it 
is drawn, we may not make the payment amount available to re-borrow for a period of 10 to 14 days, depending on the 
amount of the payment and other factors. 

8. STATEMENTS. We will send you a statement (“Statement”) at your address shown on our records at the end of each 
Billing Cycle as required by applicable law. We send only one Statement for all Cards with your Account number. If 
there are two or more of you, we send the Statement to the first applicant listed on any paper or electronic application 
or acceptance certificate you submitted or, if your application or acceptance of our offer to you was made verbally, the 
person we have designated as the “primary” accountholder. Each Statement covers a Billing Cycle. “Billing Cycle” 
means the days between the closing date shown on the last Statement we sent you and the closing date on your 
current Statement.  

9. WHEN INTEREST WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.  

A)  PURCHASES. We will charge interest on purchases from the date of each transaction. Interest will continue to be  

imposed until the date payment in full of the New Balance is posted to your Account. You may avoid interest on new 
purchases appearing on your current Statement if you paid in full the New Balance shown on your previous 
Statement and your payment was received by that due date. 

B) CASH ADVANCES. We will charge interest on each cash advance from the date of the cash advance. We will  
     charge interest on each Check from the date it is received by us. We will figure interest on unpaid cash advances  
     and Checks and on new cash advances and Checks even if you paid in full the New Balance shown on your  
     previous Statement and your payment was received by that due date. In other words, there is no grace period for  
     cash advances. 

C) BALANCE TRANSFERS. We will charge interest on each Balance Transfer from the date the Balance Transfer  
     posts to your Account. We will figure interest on unpaid Balance Transfers and on new Balance Transfers even if  
     you paid in full the New Balance shown on your previous Statement and your payment was received by that due  
     date. In other words, there is no grace period for Balance Transfers. Balance Transfers are included in the  

“average daily balance of purchases” and subject to the annual percentage rate and daily periodic rate of interest in 
effect for purchases unless otherwise specified. 

10. HOW WE CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST.  

A) INDEX. Unless an introductory or special non-variable rate applies to your Account for a specified period of time as 

we may have disclosed to you, the periodic rate of interest and corresponding annual percentage rate for 
purchases (including Balance Transfers), cash advances, and any Penalty APR in effect, are based on the value of 

 
   
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
an index (“Index”). The Index in effect for each Billing Cycle shall be the “Prime Rate” of interest appearing in the 
“Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal published on the 20th day of the month preceding the first day of 
such Billing Cycle or, if The Wall Street Journal is not published on such date, the next day on which such Prime 
Rate is published. Any increase or decrease in the value of the Index will result in a corresponding increase or 
decrease in the periodic rates of interest and annual percentage rates that apply to your Account. Any change to 
periodic rates of interest and corresponding annual percentage rates that is a result of a change to the Index will 
be effective as of the first day of the applicable Billing Cycle. An increase or decrease in the annual percentage 
rate will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of the interest and in the Minimum Revolving 
Payment amount (unless the Minimum Revolving Payment is equal to or less than $25). Your Statement will 
disclose the applicable annual percentage rates for the Billing Cycle.  

B) PURCHASES. We use the “average daily balance (including new purchases)” method to calculate interest on  
     purchases. The following description is how we calculate interest on purchases: 

(1)  We start with the unpaid amount of purchases for the current Billing Cycle, which may include unpaid  
      interest and fees from previous Billing Cycles. 

(2)  Each day we subtract any payments or credits that apply to purchases. Then we add any new purchases,  
      any new fees that apply to purchases, and any interest on the previous day’s purchase balance if you have  
      not paid in full the New Balance on your previous Statement by that due date. This gives us the daily  
      balance of purchases. 

(3)  Then we add up all the daily balances of purchases for the Billing Cycle and divide by the total number  

of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the “average daily balance of purchases” for the current Billing  

      Cycle.  

(4)  We will calculate interest on purchases by multiplying the “average daily balance of purchases” by the total 

number of days in the Billing Cycle, and multiplying the product by the applicable daily periodic rate of interest 
then in effect. The daily periodic rate of interest for purchases for each Billing Cycle shall be computed by 
adding a margin (“Margin For Purchases”) to the value of the Index and dividing by 365. The corresponding 
annual percentage rate will be the Index plus the Margin For Purchases. For details about your Margin For 
Purchases and the daily periodic rate of interest and corresponding annual percentage rate that apply to 
purchases, please refer to the “Summary of Your Interest Rate Information” section of the enclosed Interest 
Rate and Fee Disclosures. 

C) CASH ADVANCES. We use the “average daily balance of cash advances” to calculate interest on cash  
     advances. The following description is how we calculate the interest on cash advances: 

(1)  We start with the unpaid amount of cash advances, which may include unpaid interest and fees from  
       previous Billing Cycles. 

(2)  Each day we subtract any payments or credits that apply to cash advances. Then we add any new cash  
      advances, any new fees that apply to cash advances, and any interest on the previous day’s cash advance 

balance. This gives us the daily balance of cash advances. 

(3)  Then we add up all the daily balances of cash advances for the Billing Cycle and divide by the total number of 

days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the “average daily balance of cash advances.” 

(4)  We will calculate interest on cash advances by multiplying the “average daily balance of cash advances” by the 
total number of days in the Billing Cycle, and multiplying the product by the daily periodic rate of interest then 
in effect. The daily periodic rate of interest for cash advances for each Billing Cycle shall be a rate computed 
by adding a margin (“Margin For Cash Advances”) to the value of the Index and dividing by 365. The 
corresponding annual percentage rate will be the Index plus the Margin For Cash Advances. For details about 
your Margin For Cash Advances and the daily periodic rate of interest and corresponding annual percentage 
rate that apply to cash advances, please refer to the “Summary of Your Interest Rate Information” section of 
the enclosed Interest Rate and Fee Disclosures.  

D) PENALTY APR.  

(1)  Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including any Special Rate Offers – See 

Section 10.F for details), you agree that we may, at our discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law 
and subject to any notice we are required to give you under applicable law, increase the daily periodic rate 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
and annual percentage rate for purchases, cash advances and Special Rate Transactions (defined in Section 
10.F), including existing balances and all future transactions, to a higher “Penalty APR” if we have not 
received at least your Minimum Revolving Payment within 60 days after the due date for such Minimum 
Revolving Payment (“Penalty APR Event”). We will tell you, in accordance with applicable law, when the 
Penalty APR will take effect.   

If the Penalty APR is in effect for purchases, cash advances and Special Rate Transactions, the daily periodic 
rate of interest for each Billing Cycle shall be computed by adding a margin (“Margin For Penalty APR 
Balances”) to the value of the Index and dividing by 365. The corresponding annual percentage rate will be 
the Index plus the Margin For Penalty APR Balances. For details about your Margin For Penalty APR 
Balances and the daily periodic rate of interest and corresponding annual percentage rate that apply when the 
Penalty APR is in effect, please refer to the “Summary of Your Interest Rate Information” section of the 
enclosed Interest Rate and Fee Disclosures. The application of the Penalty APR does not cure the Penalty 
APR Event that caused the Penalty APR to be charged, nor shall it affect any of our rights under the “Default” 
section of this Agreement (Section 22). 

 (2) After the Penalty APR goes into effect on your Account, your Account may again be eligible for the annual 
percentage rate that would otherwise apply after you meet the repayment requirements of your Agreement 
with us for six consecutive Billing Cycles. After six consecutive payments, your Account will be reviewed 
automatically. If all payments that you made were greater than or equal to the Minimum Revolving Payment 
required and were received by the due dates, your annual percentage rate for all balances, as well as future 
transactions, will become the terms which would then apply to your Account had the Penalty APR Event not 
occurred. Your Account will no longer be eligible for any special rate under a Special Rate Offer unless you 
are entitled to such special rate by applicable law.  

E) MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. We will assess a minimum interest charge of $1.50 in any Billing Cycle in  
     which interest is billed. 

F) SPECIAL RATE OFFERS.  

(1) We may offer special introductory or promotional rates and/or fees on your Account (“Special Rate Offers”). If 
we do, we will advise you of the annual percentage rates associated with the Special Rate Offer, how long 
they will be in effect, the balances to which they will apply, and other terms of the Special Rate Offer. Any 
Special Rate Offer will be subject to the terms of the offer and this Agreement. We may identify Special Rate 
Offer balances separately on your Statement. When a Special Rate Offer is in effect we may, at our 
discretion, discontinue the special rate pursuant to the “Penalty APR” section of this Agreement. 

(2) If a Special Rate Offer applies to purchases, cash advances or Balance Transfers on your Account, we use 
the “average daily balance of Special Rate Transactions” to calculate interest on such transactions (“Special 
Rate Transactions”). The following description is how we calculate the interest on each category of Special 
Rate Transactions: 

(a)  We start with the unpaid amount of the Special Rate Transactions, which may include unpaid interest  
       and fees from previous Billing Cycles. 

(b)  Each day we subtract any payments or credits that apply to such Special Rate Transactions. Then we  

add any new Special Rate Transactions, any new fees that apply to such Special Rate Transactions and, if 
the Special Rate Transaction is a purchase and you have not paid in full the New Balance on your 
previous Statement by that due date or if the Special Rate Transaction is a Balance Transfer or cash 
advance, any interest on the previous day’s Special Rate Transactions. This gives us the daily balance of 
such Special Rate transactions. 

(c)  Then we add up all the daily balances of such Special Rate Transactions for the Billing Cycle and  

divide by the total number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the “average daily balance of Special 
Rate Transactions.” 

(d)  We will calculate interest on each category of Special Rate Transactions by multiplying the “average daily 
balance of Special Rate Transactions” by the total number of days in the Billing Cycle, and multiplying the 
product by the applicable daily periodic rate of interest then in effect for such category of Special Rate 
Transactions. The daily periodic rate of interest for Special Rate Offers for each Billing Cycle shall be 
computed by dividing the applicable annual percentage rate by 365. Please refer to the “Summary of Your 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Interest Rate Information” section of the enclosed Interest Rate and Fee Disclosures for detailed 
information about any introductory rate applicable to your Account. 

      11.  FEES. Subject to applicable law, we may charge your Account for the following fees. The amount of each of       
             these fees is provided in the enclosed Interest Rate and Fee Disclosures. The application and payment of a  

fee will not correct the situation that caused the fee to be charged. Unless we tell you otherwise, all fees, except 
for cash advance fees, are included in the average daily balance of purchases for purposes of determining how 
much interest is due and owing on your Account (see Section 10.B for details). Cash advance fees are included in 
the average daily balance of cash advances (see Section 10.C for details). 

A) Annual Fee. We may charge an annual fee to your Account if such fee is disclosed to you in the enclosed  
     Interest Rate and Fee Disclosures.  

B) Late Payment. We may charge a late payment fee to your Account if you do not pay at least the Minimum  
  Revolving Payment by the due date. We may charge an additional late fee for each Billing Cycle that your    
  Account is past due. 

C) Cash Advance Fee. In addition to any interest charged to your Account for cash advances you take, we may  
     charge a fee to your Account each time you take a cash advance. 

D) Balance Transfer Fee. In addition to any interest charged to your Account for Balance Transfers you obtain, we  
     may charge a fee to your Account each time you obtain a Balance Transfer. 

E) Returned Payment Fee. If you make a payment on your Account (1) with a check and that check is not  
  honored by the financial institution on which it is drawn or (2) by an electronic debit entry to a bank account 

(autopay) and the entry is returned unpaid, we may charge you a returned payment fee. 

F) Stop Payment Fee. We may charge a stop payment fee if you order us to stop payment on a Check (see  
     Section 16 for details) or Balance Transfer or if you renew a stop payment order.  

G) Research Fee. We may charge you a per copy research fee for all copies of Statements, Checks, or Balance    
  Transfer checks or other documents in our files that you request. You will reimburse us for fees charged by 
Visa and MasterCard for copies of sales drafts, cash advance drafts, and other items that you request that 
must be obtained from Visa and MasterCard. Fees will not be charged if the request directly relates to a 
disputed item appearing on your Statement.  

H) Foreign Transaction Fee. We may charge you a foreign transaction fee (see Section 13 for details).  

I)  Rush Card Fee. We may charge you a rush card fee if we expedite delivery of a replacement Card at your  
     request. 

J)  Expedited Payment Fee. We may charge you an expedited payment fee if a customer service representative  
    expedites the posting of a payment to your Account at your request. 

12. BALANCE TRANSFERS. We may permit you to transfer balances and obligations that you owe other companies 

or financial institutions (“Balance Transfers”) to your Account subject to this Agreement and the terms and 
conditions of any special Balance Transfer offers we make to you. Your available Revolving Credit Limit will be 
reduced by the total amount of the Balance Transfer. Any Balance Transfer must be at least $200; however, we 
may choose to process a Balance Transfer for less at our discretion. Balance Transfers will post to your Account 
and be separately reflected on your Statements as a Balance Transfer or, depending upon the offer, may post to 
your Account and be treated as a purchase, cash advance or some other kind of advance transaction. As noted 
elsewhere in this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in the offer, interest on Balance Transfer transactions will 
be at the rate for purchases; however, Balance Transfers are not eligible for the grace period. We will, in 
connection with any special Balance Transfer offer we make, provide you with materials that explain how the 
Balance Transfer will post to your Account and be reflected on your Statements. You may not request Balance 
Transfers of existing obligations you owe us or our affiliates. Balance Transfer requests to individuals for cash will 
not be processed. Recurring payments to the same companies or financial institutions will not be processed as a 
Balance Transfer. If you request a Balance Transfer that would cause your Account to exceed its Revolving Credit 
Limit, we may, at our option, (a) post the entire Balance Transfer requested to your Account; (b) post only a 
portion of the Balance Transfer requested to your Account up to the amount of credit available under the 
Revolving Credit Limit; or (c) refuse to process any of the amount of the Balance Transfer requested. Recently 
disputed charges with other creditors should not be included in a Balance Transfer request. By transferring an 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
amount in dispute, certain dispute rights you have may be forfeited. Allow approximately three weeks from 
account opening for processing of your Balance Transfers. Balance Transfers will not automatically close the 
account from which the Balance Transfer was made. You must contact the other creditor to close that account. 
Balance Transfers do not earn points or rebates under reward programs. We may, for any reason in our sole 
discretion, including your default under the terms of this Agreement, deny any Balance Transfer request. 

  13. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS. Transactions with merchants and financial institutions outside the borders of the 

U.S. and its territories are “foreign transactions.” If a foreign transaction is made in a foreign currency, we will bill 
you in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the day we settle the transaction, plus any special currency 
exchange charges. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for 
processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa International or MasterCard from the range of 
rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary 
from the rate Visa or MasterCard itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable 
central processing date. In addition, we will charge a foreign transaction fee for each foreign transaction. This fee 
will be in addition to other fees that might normally apply to the transaction. Because of the special charges and 
possible differences in exchange rates between the time we settle and the time you initiated the transaction, the 
total charge for a transaction made in a foreign currency may be greater than the cash advance or purchase at 
the time it was made. 

14. OVERDRAFT PROTECTION. “Overdraft Protection” allows us to transfer funds from your Account and prevent 

overdrafts on a registered PNC Bank, National Association checking account. Enrollment in Overdraft Protection 
is optional. If you enroll, or have enrolled, in Overdraft Protection, the following terms apply to your Account. 
When you enroll in Overdraft Protection, it may take up to twelve (12) days for the Overdraft Protection to be 
activated. You authorize us to make Overdraft Protection advances (“Overdraft Protection Advances”) from your 
Account as provided in this Agreement and any separate Overdraft Protection terms and conditions that were 
provided to you that apply to your checking account if a checking account that you registered when enrolling in 
Overdraft Protection becomes overdrawn. Any Overdraft Protection Advance will be processed and will post as a 
cash advance to your Account. You may be charged a cash advance fee for each Overdraft Protection Advance. 
In addition to any cash advance fee and interest that are assessed to your Account for an Overdraft Protection 
Advance, separate fees may be assessed to your designated checking account(s) for accessing Overdraft 
Protection (see the fee schedule for your checking account(s) for specific fee information). We may cancel 
Overdraft Protection privileges under the Account even if the Account remains open for other transactions. 
Overdraft Protection privileges will be automatically cancelled if the Account is closed by either you or us at any 
time. Overdraft Protection may be suspended if your Account is in default as defined in this Agreement. If your 
right to use the Account has been revoked or suspended, or if you are in default under the terms of this 
Agreement, and we refuse to make an Overdraft Protection Advance, we may, in our sole discretion, (i) not pay 
any checks, items or entries that would cause an overdraft with respect to the applicable checking account or (ii) 
pay any checks, items or entries and permit an overdraft with respect to the applicable checking account. In either 
case, certain checking account fees may apply (see the fee schedule for your checking account(s) for specific fee 
information). 

An Overdraft Protection Advance will be made only once per day for each designated checking account. 
Overdraft Protection Advances to your checking account from the Account are processed after the close of 
business Monday through Friday. Overdraft Protection Advances will be made for a minimum amount as detailed 
in the Overdraft Protection terms and conditions that were provided to you that apply to your checking account; 
amounts over the minimum amount will be rounded up to the next whole dollar. 

15. PAYMENT GUARANTY. You may purchase debt cancellation coverage from us. We call the debt cancellation 

coverage Payment Guaranty (“Plan”), which has several coverage options. You are not required to purchase the 
Plan in order to obtain credit from us and the Plan will not be provided unless you sign or initial a separate 
enrollment form and agree to pay the additional cost stated on that form. The monthly fee for the Plan will be 
included in the average daily balance of purchases for purposes of determining how much interest is due and 
owing on your Account (see Section 10.B for details). If you elect to purchase the Plan, you agree to be bound by 
the Plan “Terms and Conditions” Addendum, which is incorporated herein by reference including, but not limited 
to, any limitations, exclusions, or conditions contained therein. 

16. STOP PAYMENT ORDER. We may permit you to stop payment on any Check. In order for your stop payment  
order to be considered timely, we must receive your order at a time and in a manner that gives us a reasonable 
opportunity to act on it prior to payment. A written or oral stop payment order is effective for six (6) months from 
the date of receipt by us, unless you notify us in writing to cancel the stop payment order sooner. If you wish to 
extend a stop payment order for an additional period, you must call us or write to us prior to the expiration of the 

 
 
 
 
 
original stop payment period. If your stop payment order is not extended, we may pay any Check that is 
presented to us after your original stop payment order has expired. 

If there are two or more of you, we will accept stop payment orders from any one of you, regardless of who wrote 
the Check or gave the withdrawal order. Stop payment orders are subject to our current charge for that service. 
You may place a stop payment order by calling the customer service number on your Statement. We will request 
the following information about the Check or other withdrawal order to be stopped: 

• Account number 
• Amount 
• Check number   

• Name of party to be paid  
• Date 
• Your name and address  

Stop payment orders are processed by computer. Unless the amount of the Check and other information are 
reported absolutely accurately, we cannot assure you that the Check you want stopped will not be paid. 

In the event that we inadvertently pay a Check over your valid stop payment order, we may refuse to recredit your 
Account if you owed the money to the payee(s). If we recredit your Account, you shall be deemed to have 
assigned to us all of your rights against the payee(s), both on the Check and on the underlying claim. 

17. SECURITY INTEREST. This Agreement does not give us a security interest in any of your property. We have no 

security interest for the Account even though other agreements we have with you may say that we do. 

      18.  REMOVING AUTHORIZED USER. If you let someone else use your Account and you want to stop letting that  

person use your Account, you must destroy all Cards and Checks that are in that person’s name or in that 
person’s possession. If you are unable to obtain that person’s Cards or Checks, you may request in writing that 
we close your Account and you may apply for a new Account. We may charge you for any costs we incur in this 
process. 

19. LOST OR STOLEN CARDS OR CHECKS. If a Card or Check is lost or stolen, you must tell us at once. You must  
also tell us at once if you think someone used a Card or Check without your permission. You may either write us a 
letter or call us at the address and phone number shown on your Statement. Until you do, you may have to pay 
up to $50 for the purchases and/or cash advances made by anyone who used the Card without your permission. 
You may also be liable for unauthorized use of Checks. 

20. HOW TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT. You may close your Account at any time. If you call us to close your  

Account, we may require that you confirm your request in writing. You cannot use a Card or Check or otherwise 
use your Account after you close your Account. However, all other provisions of this Agreement will continue to 
apply, including your obligation to pay the full amount you owe us. If your Account is closed, if we ask, you agree 
to return all Cards and Checks. 

21. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND OR CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT. We may suspend your use of the Account,  
including your use of your Card or Checks at any time for any reason, subject to any restrictions under applicable 
law. We may also close your Account at any time for any reason, subject to any restrictions under applicable law. 
We may also cancel the Visa or MasterCard credit card programs at any time for any reason. You must return all 
Cards and Checks to us if we ask. This includes all Cards and Checks you gave to others. You cannot use a Card 
or Check or otherwise use your Account after we close your Account. All other provisions of the Agreement will 
continue to apply. 

22. DEFAULT. If (a) you become insolvent or bankrupt; (b) are declared legally incapacitated or die; (c) you exceed 

your Cash Advance Limit; (d) you fail to make any payment due on your Account by the due date; (e) you default 
on any obligation of yours to us; (f) we in good faith believe you will not be able to meet the repayment 
requirements due to an adverse change in your financial circumstances; (g) we have any reason to believe that 
the Account is in danger of, or is being used for, fraud or improper purposes; (h) (except where prohibited by law) 
you are married and reside in a community property state and we receive a written notice from you or your 
spouse that he or she is no longer liable on the Account; (i) your Account becomes inactive; (j) you have made 
false statements affecting the Account application or maintenance of your Account or (k) (except where prohibited 
by law) this is a joint Account and one of you notifies us that he or she wants the Account closed or will no longer 
be liable on the Account, then you will be in default, subject to any restrictions under applicable law. If you are in 
default, we may immediately close your Account and you must immediately pay in full all amounts due on your 
Account, subject to any restrictions under applicable law. All other provisions of the Agreement will continue to 
apply. If you do not pay the amount you owe under this Agreement, you will be liable for our collection costs 
including our reasonable attorney fees and expenses of legal actions, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
23. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. We will not lose any of our rights under this Agreement if we delay taking action for any 
reason. We may take other actions not listed in this Agreement. If we take any other action, we will not lose our 
rights under this Agreement. We may accept late payments or partial payments without losing any of our rights. If 
your payment is marked with the words “Paid in Full” or similar language, you must send your payment 
to the Customer Service address listed on your Statement. If your payment is made to any other address, we 
may accept the payment without losing any of our rights. 

24.  LAW THAT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Agreement will be governed by (i) federal  

laws and regulations and (ii) the laws of Delaware to the extent Delaware laws are not preempted by federal laws 
or regulations and without regard to conflict of law principles. If a court decides not to enforce a part of this 
Agreement, this Agreement will then read as if the unenforceable or invalid part were not there. For Maryland 
residents, only to the extent federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware do not apply, this Agreement is 
governed by Title 12, Subtitle 9 of the Maryland Commercial Law Article.  

25.  WE MAY TRANSFER YOUR ACCOUNT. We may transfer your Account and our rights under this Agreement to  

another person or company. That person or company will take our place in this Agreement. You must pay them 
the amount you owe on your Account (instead of paying us) if they ask you. You may not transfer your Account or 
your rights under this Agreement to any person or company. 

26.  NEW INFORMATION. You must tell us at once if you change your name, address, or employment. 

27.  BILLING ERRORS. Please see the important information regarding your rights to dispute billing errors (“Your  

Billing Rights”) printed with this Agreement. 

28.  PRIVACY PRINCIPLES AND DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION. You will receive a copy of our  

Privacy Principles when you open your Account (included with this Agreement) and at least once annually while 
you remain our customer. We also keep copies of our Privacy Principles in our financial institution offices and post 
it on our website. These Privacy Principles explain what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we 
protect personal information, and how and why in certain cases we may share such information among affiliated 
companies and with select other parties. We also tell you how to exercise certain personal information sharing 
choices. We may amend our Privacy Principles from time to time. We may provide your personal data to Visa 
U.S.A., MasterCard, their members, or their respective contractors for the purpose of providing Emergency Cash 
or Emergency Card Replacement Services, and you consent to the release of that information. 

29.  JURY TRIAL WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO ANY  
TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
YOU AND WE EACH REPRESENT THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY 
GIVEN. 

30.  TELEPHONE CALLS; MONITORING. You agree that we have an established business relationship with you, and  
unless otherwise prohibited by law, we may contact you to offer you products and services that we believe may 
be of interest to you. Such contacts are not unsolicited, and we may contact you by telephone and with an 
automated dialing and announcing device or by fax at any telephone number you have given to us, including the 
telephone number on your application, or by email or other form of electronic communication and we may monitor 
telephone calls with you to assure quality service. In addition, by using the Account, you are confirming that at the 
time you applied for the Account or accepted an offer from us for the Account, you expressly consented to receive 
calls to your cell phone, made by us and/or our affiliates and/or our or our affiliates’ representatives, using a 
prerecorded or other voice message or an automatic dialing system.

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 Statement 

If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: 

PNC Bank, N.A. 
P.O. Box 3429 
Pittsburgh, PA 15230-3429 

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. 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. 

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 bill 

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 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 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 at: 

PNC Bank, N.A. 
P.O. Box 3429 
Pittsburgh, PA 15230-3429 

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.
