BUSINESS CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT 

This Business Credit Card Agreement ("Agreement") includes this document, any letter, card carrier, card insert, addendums, any other 
document accompanying this Agreement, any application that you signed or submitted to the credit union, and any notification of changes to 
this Agreement. The words "you" and "your" mean each person, each business or organization ("organization"), and each officer or owner of 
the organization who agrees to be bound by this Agreement as set forth below.  The words we, our, us and "credit union" means the credit 
union whose name appears on this Agreement or anyone to whom the credit union transfers this Agreement. The word "card" means the Visa 
or MasterCard business credit card you receive from the credit union and any duplicates, renewals, or substitutions the credit union issues to 
you. The word "account" means the credit card line of credit account the credit union approves for you that is subject to this Agreement.  

1. PERSONS BOUND. By signing (in ink, electronically or digitally) any business loan application stating your agreement to be bound by this 
Agreement or by using the card or account we issue to you, or by authorizing an employee to use the card or account we issue to you, you 
agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  If you are an officer or owner obtaining an account for your organization, you agree to the 
terms of this Agreement in your personal capacity as well as your capacity as an officer or owner authorized to bind the organization to this 
Agreement. 

2. USING YOUR ACCOUNT.  If you are approved for an account, the credit union will establish a line of credit for you. The amount of your credit 
limit is set forth on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement.  You agree that your credit limit is the maximum amount (purchases, cash 
advances, finance charges, plus "other charges") that you will have outstanding on your account at any time.  If you exceed your credit limit, 
you must pay the amount you are over your limit plus any fees and unpaid finance charges before payments will begin to restore your credit 
limit. In addition, a fee may be imposed for exceeding your credit limit. You may request an increase in your credit limit only by a method 
acceptable to the credit union.  The credit union may increase or decrease your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or terminate your 
account at any time for any reason not prohibited by law. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, we may from time to 
time issue convenience checks to you that may be drawn on your account. Convenience checks may not be used to make a payment on your 
account balance. If you use a convenience check it will be posted to your account as a cash advance. We reserve the right to refuse to pay a 
convenience check drawn on your account for any reason and such refusal shall not constitute wrongful dishonor.  

You may request that we stop the payment of a convenience check drawn on your account. You agree to pay any fee imposed to stop a 
payment on a convenience check issued on your account. You may make a stop payment request orally, if permitted, or in writing. Your request 
must be made with sufficient time in advance of the presentment of the check for payment to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on your 
request. In addition, your request must accurately describe the check including the exact account number, the payee, any check number that 
may be applicable, and the exact amount of the check. You may make a stop payment request orally but such a request will expire after 
fourteen (14) days unless you confirm your request in writing within that time. Written stop payment orders are effective only for six (6) 
months and may be renewed for additional six month periods by requesting in writing that the stop payment order be renewed. We are not 
required to notify you when a stop payment order expires. If we re-credit your account after paying a check or draft over a valid and timely stop 
payment order, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute with the payee, to assign to us all of your rights against the payee or other 
holders of the check or draft and to assist us in any legal action. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from all costs and expenses, 
including attorney's fees, damages, or claims, related to our honoring your stop payment request or in failing to stop payment of an item as a 
result of incorrect information provided to us or the giving of inadequate time to act upon a stop payment request. 

3. STATEMENT OF BUSINESS PURPOSE. You agree that you have represented to us that you are obtaining your account for business purposes 
and that all purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, use of any convenience checks issued on your account and any other use of your 
account will only be for a business purpose. You agree that you will never use your account for any personal, household or family purposes. 

4. USING YOUR CARD.  You may use your card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept your card.  The credit union is not 
responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your card.  If you wish to pay for goods or services over the 
Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction.  In 
addition, the credit union may permit you to obtain cash advances from the credit union, from other financial institutions that accept your card, 
and from some automated teller machines (ATMs).  (Not all ATMs may accept your card.) If the credit union authorizes ATM transactions with 
your card, it will issue you a personal identification number (PIN). To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the PIN that is issued to 
you for use with your card. You agree that you will not use your card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state or local 
law. Even if you use your card for an illegal transaction, you will be responsible for all amounts and charges incurred in connection with the 
transaction. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, you may also use your card to purchase instruments and engage in 
transactions that we consider the equivalent of cash. Such transactions will be posted to your account as a cash advance and include, but are 

 
not limited to, wire transfers, money orders, bets, lottery tickets, and casino gaming chips. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as permitting 
or authorizing any transaction that is illegal. 

5. RESPONSIBILITY.  You agree to pay all charges (purchases and cash advances, balance transfers, use of convenience checks and any other 
charge) to your account that are made by you or anyone whom you authorize to use your account.  You also agree to pay all finance charges 
and other charges added to your account under the terms of this Agreement or another agreement you made with the credit union. If there is 
more than one person bound to this Agreement, each will be individually and jointly responsible for paying all amounts owed under this 
Agreement. If you are an organization, the officer or owner that obtained the account for the organization is also personally obligated for all 
charges made under the account.  This means that the credit union can require any one of you to individually repay the entire amount owed 
under this Agreement.  In addition each person bound under this Agreement, as well as any authorized user, may make purchases individually 
and, if cash advances are permitted for your account, may obtain cash advances individually. 

6. INTEREST RATE.  The Interest Rates applicable to purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers are disclosed on the Addendum that 
accompanies this Agreement. Any penalty rate that may be imposed for failing to make a payment by the Payment Due Date is also disclosed 
on the Addendum. These rates may be either fixed or variable as disclosed in the Addendum accompanying this Agreement.  If the rate for your 
account is fixed, the rate charged on purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, and any penalty rate will be fixed and will not vary from 
month to month unless we notify you in advance that the rate will change. If the rate for your account is variable, as indicated on the 
accompanying Addendum, the rate charged on purchases, cash advances, balance transfers and any penalty rate will vary periodically as 
disclosed in the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. The initial rate on your account for certain types of transactions may be an 
introductory discounted rate (Introductory Rate) that is lower than the rate that would ordinarily apply for that type of transaction. If an 
Introductory Rate applies to your account, the rates and the period of time it will be effective is shown on the Addendum accompanying this 
Agreement. After the Introductory Rate period expires, the Interest Rate will automatically increase to the rates that would ordinarily apply for 
that type of transaction based on the terms of this Agreement.  

7. FINANCE CHARGE CALCULATION METHOD FOR PURCHASES.  New purchases posted to your Account during a billing cycle will not incur a 
finance charge for that billing cycle if you had a zero or credit balance at the beginning of that billing cycle or you paid the entire New Balance 
on the previous cycle's billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement; otherwise a finance charge will accrue from the date a 
purchase is posted to your Account.  To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of purchases, you must pay the entire New Balance 
on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. The finance charge is calculated separately for purchases and cash 
advances.  For purchases, the finance charge is computed by applying the periodic rate to the average daily balance of purchases.  To get the 
average daily balance of purchases, we take the beginning outstanding balance of purchases each day, add any new purchases, and subtract 
any payments and/or credits.  This gives us the daily balance of purchases.  Then, we add all the daily balances of purchases for the billing cycle 
together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle.  This gives us the average daily balance of purchases. 

8. FINANCE CHARGE CALCULATION METHOD FOR CASH ADVANCES.  A finance charge begins to accrue on cash advances from the date you get 
the cash advance or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the cash advance is posted to your account, whichever is later. For cash 
advances, the finance charge is computed by applying the periodic rate to the average daily balance of cash advances.  To get the average daily 
balance of cash advances, we take the beginning outstanding balance of cash advances each day, add in any new cash advances, and subtract 
any payments and/or credits that we apply to the cash advance balance.  This gives us the daily balance of cash advances.  

9. OTHER CHARGES.  In addition to the Interest Rate, additional fees may be imposed on your account.  The amount and description of these 
fees are disclosed on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. 

10. PAYMENTS.  Each month you must pay at least the minimum payment shown on your statement by the date specified on the statement or 
no later than twenty-five (25) {period can vary} days from the statement closing date, whichever is later.  If your statement says the payment is 
"Now Due," your payment is due no later than twenty-five (25) {period can vary} days from the statement closing date. All payments must be 
made in U.S. dollars and if made by a negotiable instrument such as a check or money order, must be in a form acceptable to us and drawn on a 
U.S. financial institution. You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment or pay the Total New Balance in full.  If you make 
extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least the minimum payment each month your account has a balance (other than a 
credit balance).  The minimum payment for your account is shown on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. In addition to the 
minimum payment, you must also pay, by the date specified above, the amount of any prior minimum payment(s) that you have not made, all 
outstanding unpaid fees and charges, and any amount you are over your credit limit.  The credit union also has the right to demand immediate 
payment of any amount by which you are over your credit limit. Subject to applicable law, your payments may be applied to what you owe to 
the credit union in any manner the credit union chooses.  We may accept checks marked "payment in full" or with words of similar effect 
without losing any of our rights to collect the full balance of your account with us. 

11. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS.  If you make a purchase or obtain a cash advance in a foreign currency, the transaction will be debited from your 
account in U.S. dollars. Either Visa or MasterCard will convert the transaction into U.S. dollars depending on whether you complete the 

transaction with a Visa card or MasterCard or if the transaction is processed by a network operated or affiliated with Visa or MasterCard. For 
transactions process through Visa, the exchange rate used to convert foreign currency transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of 
rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives 
or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. For transactions processed through MasterCard, the 
exchange rate used to convert foreign currency transactions to U.S. dollars is either a government-mandated exchange rate or a wholesale 
exchange rate that is selected by MasterCard.  The rate MasterCard uses for a particular transaction is the rate MasterCard selects for the 
applicable currency on the day the transaction is processed. The exchange rate used to convert the transaction may differ from the rate 
MasterCard or Visa receives and may differ from the rate applicable on the date the transaction occurred or was posted to your account.  

12. COLLECTION COSTS.  You agree to pay all costs of collecting the amount you owe under this Agreement, including court costs and 
reasonable attorney's fee, as permitted by applicable state law.  

13. SECURITY INTEREST.  If you give the credit union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge of shares, your pledged shares will 
secure your account.  You may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically pledged to secure your account until the credit union agrees 
to release all or part of the pledged amount.  In addition, your account is secured by all other shares you have in any individual or joint account 
with the credit union, except for shares in an Individual Retirement account or in any other account that would lose special tax treatment under 
state or federal law if given as security.  These other shares may be withdrawn unless you are in default under this Agreement.  You authorize 
the credit union to apply the balance in your individual or joint share accounts to pay any amounts due on your account if you should default.  
Collateral securing other loans you have with the credit union may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never be considered as 
security for this account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement.  

14. DEFAULT.  You will be in default if you fail to make any minimum payment or other required payment by the date that it is due.  You will be 
in default if you; a) break any promise you make under this Agreement; b) exceed your credit limit; c) are a natural person, if you die; d) are an 
organization, you cease to exist; e) are an organization, you change your legal structure so that the person obligating the organization to this 
Agreement is no longer authorized to bind it to legal agreements; f) file for bankruptcy or become insolvent; g) make any false or misleading 
statements in any credit application or credit update; or h) if something happens that the credit union believes may substantially reduce your 
ability to repay what you owe. When you are in default, the credit union has the right to demand immediate payment of your full account 
balance without giving you notice.  If immediate payment is demanded, you agree to continue paying finance charges, at the Interest Rate 
charged before default, until what you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security for your account may be applied towards 
what you owe.  

15. CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT.  The credit union may change the terms of this Agreement and any attached Addendum 
from time to time.  Notice of any change will be given in accordance with applicable law.  If permitted by law, the change will apply to your 
existing account balance as well as to future transactions.  

Either you or the credit union may terminate this Agreement at any time, but termination by you or the credit union will not affect your 
obligation to pay the account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under this Agreement.  You are also responsible for all 
transactions made to your account after termination, unless the transactions were unauthorized.   

The card or cards you receive remain the property of the credit union and you must recover and surrender to the credit union all cards upon 
request or upon termination of this Agreement whether by you or the credit union.  The credit union has the right to require you to pay your 
full account balance at any time after your account is terminated, whether it is terminated by you or the credit union.   

16. CHANGING OR TERMINATING AUTHORIZED USERS.  Upon your request, we may issue additional cards for authorized users that you 
designate. You must notify us in writing of any termination of an authorized user's right to access your account. Your letter must include the 
name of the authorized user and your account number and/or any subaccount number issued to the authorized user along with the authorized 
user's card and any convenience or other access checks issued to the authorized user. If you cannot return the authorized user's card or access 
checks and if you request your account to be closed, we will close your account and you may apply for a new account. 

17. LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE-LOST/STOLEN CARD NOTIFICATION. You may be liable for the unauthorized use of your card or account. 
Notify us immediately, in writing or by telephone at the address or phone number on the Addendum included with this Agreement, if your card 
is lost, stolen or you suspect there has been unauthorized use of your card or account.  After we receive your notification, you will not be liable 
for any further unauthorized use of your card or account.  

If you are an organization with 10 or more employees and we have issued 10 or more cards on your account for use by your employees, you will 
be liable for all unauthorized use of your cards or account before notification to us.  Otherwise, you will be liable for up to $50 for the 
unauthorized use of your card or account before notification to us. Unauthorized use does not include use of a card by an authorized user in an 
unauthorized manner.  

18. CREDIT REVIEW AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION.  You authorize the credit union to investigate your credit standing when opening or 
reviewing your account.  You authorize the credit union to disclose information regarding your account to credit bureaus and creditors who 
inquire about your credit standing.  If your account is eligible for emergency cash and/or emergency card replacement services, and you 
request such services, you agree that we may provide personal information about you and your account that is necessary to provide you with 
the requested service(s). 

19. RETURNS AND ADJUSTMENTS.  Merchants and others who honor your card may give credit for returns or adjustments, and they will do so 
by sending the credit union a credit which will be posted to your account.  If your credits and payments exceed what you owe the credit union, 
the amount will be applied against future purchases and cash advances.  If the credit balance amount is $1 or more, it will be refunded upon 
your written request or automatically after six (6) months. 

20. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS/CARD ENHANCEMENTS.  The credit union may from time to time offer additional services to your account, such as 
travel accident insurance or a liability waver program, at no additional cost to you.  You understand that the credit union is not obligated to 
offer such services and may withdraw or change them at any time. 

21. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement is the contract which applies to all transactions on your account even though the sales, cash 
advances, credit or other slips you sign or receive may contain different terms.  

22. NO WAIVER.  The credit union can delay enforcing any of its rights any number of times without losing them.  

23. STATEMENTS AND NOTICES.  Unless separate subaccounts have been set up under your account for authorized users, statements and 
notices will be mailed to you at the most recent address you have given the credit union. You agree to notify us at least 10 days in advance of 
any change in address. Notice sent to any one person bound under this Agreement will be considered notice to all. If we have agreed to send 
statements for  subaccounts under your account that have been issued to authorized users, we will send statements to the most recent address 
you have provided for that authorized user. You agree to notify us at least 10 days in advance of any change in address for an authorized user. 
You are responsible for payment of all amounts shown on a statement delivered to an authorized user. 

24. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN LEGAL STRUCTURE, OFFICERS OR OWNERS.  If you are an organization, you agree to notify us within 10 days 
of any change in your legal structure or any change in your officers or owners.  

25. SEVERABILITY AND FINAL EXPRESSION.  This Agreement is the final expression of the terms and conditions of your account. This written 
Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any alleged oral agreement. Should any part of this Agreement be found to be invalid or 
unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement shall remain in effect and fully enforceable to the fullest extent possible under this Agreement.
