Credit  Account  with  certain  companies  to  provide  or  offer  you  selected 
products,  services  or  cardholder  benefits.  You  may  direct  us  not  to  share 
one or both of these. If this is your request call 1-800-987-5521 or notify us in 
writing  at  First  PREMIER  Bank,  P.O.  Box  5528,  Sioux  Falls,  SD  57117-5528. 
Be  sure  to  include  your  name,  address  and  Credit Account  number. You  may 
receive  a  copy  of  our  information  on  your  Credit Account  by  writing  or  calling 
us at the address or telephone number listed above. By requesting or obtaining 
a Credit Account, you authorize us to check your credit history. You authorize 
your  employer,  bank  and  any  other  references  listed  to  release  and/or  verify 
information to us and our affiliates in order to determine your eligibility for the 
Credit Account and any renewal or future extension of credit. If you ask, you will 
be told whether or not consumer reports on you were requested and the names 
of  the  Consumer  Reporting Agencies,  with  their  addresses,  that  provided  the 
reports. If you designate an Authorized User to use your Card, you understand 
that account information may also be reported to Consumer Reporting Agencies 
in the Authorized User’s name.
No Waiver: Even if we do not exercise any right we may have against you, we 
do not intend to waive that right. We can exercise it against you in the future.
Binding  Effect  Upon  Death  or  Incompetency:  If  we  pay  a  merchant  for  a 
Purchase  or  post  a  Cash Advance  to  your  Credit Account  before  we  receive 
actual  written  notice  of  your  death  or  incompetence,  or  if  we  pay  a  merchant 
for a Purchase made by you or post a Cash Advance taken by you prior to your 
death or incompetence, that transaction will be a valid and binding Credit Account 
obligation upon you, your estate and your personal representatives.
Our Liability To You: We have no liability to you, other than as placed on us by 
law. We will meet our duty to care for your Credit Account(s) under reasonable 
banking  procedures.  Our  mere  clerical  error  or  honest  mistake  will  not  be 
considered a failure to perform any of our obligations.
Transactions  in  Foreign  Currencies:  If  you  make  a  transaction  in  a  foreign 
currency,  it  will  be  converted  into  U.S.  dollars,  and  you  agree  to  accept  the 
converted  amount.  Visa  USA,  Inc.  or  MasterCard  International,  Inc.  will  use 
its  currency  conversion  procedures  in  effect  when  processing  the  transaction. 
The  currency  conversion  rate  will  be  a  rate  selected  by  Visa  or  MasterCard, 
as applicable, 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  each  instance,  plus  a  foreign 
currency  transaction  fee  in  the  amount  disclosed  on  your  Account  Opening 
Disclosures printed on the card carrier containing your Card. This fee will be paid 
to us and applied to all transactions posted to your Credit Account in a foreign 
currency, including all Purchase transactions, Cash Advance transactions, ATM 
transactions and returns and adjustments (e.g., for returned merchandise). The 
currency conversion rate used on the processing date may be different than the 
rate that was in effect on the date you conducted the transaction. We do not set 
the currency conversion rate, and we do not receive any portion of it. We do, 
however, receive a foreign currency transaction fee as disclosed on your Account 
Opening Disclosures printed on the card carrier containing your card.
Prohibition  on  Gambling  and  Illegal  Transactions:  Your  Card  and  Credit 
Account may not be used in connection with any gambling transaction (whether 
legal or illegal). Also, your Card and Credit Account may be used only for valid 
and lawful purposes. If you use, or allow someone else to use your Card or Credit 
Account for any unlawful purpose or for any gambling transaction, you will be 
responsible for such use and may be required to reimburse us for all amounts or 
expenses we pay as a result of such use.
Call Recording: You agree and consent that we will record and may monitor 
any calls between you and us. This includes both calls to and originated by First 
PREMIER Bank, PREMIER Bankcard, LLC, our parent corporation, or any of our 
affiliates, agents, independent contractors or service providers.

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:
     First PREMIER Bank
     P.O. Box 5524
     Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5524
(You may also contact us on the Web:  www.mypremiercreditcard.com.)
In your letter, give us the following information:
• Account information: Your name and Credit 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 three 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.
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 $50.00 
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 $50.00.  (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 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:

     First PREMIER Bank
     P.O. Box 5524
     Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5524
     www.mypremiercreditcard.com 
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. 
Your Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Credit Account: You will not be 
liable for unauthorized use of your Card or Credit Account. However, to protect 
your rights, you are required to notify us orally or in writing as soon as you are 
aware that your Card or Credit Account has been lost, stolen or used without 
your consent. Certain exceptions apply. To notify us of the loss, theft or possible 
unauthorized use of your Card, call us at 1-800-987-5521, 24 hours a day.

reporting  reflecting  on  your  credit  record  may  be  submitted  to  a  Consumer 
Reporting Agency  if  you  fail  to  fulfill  the  terms  of  your  credit  obligations. After

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR
REQUIRED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The  following  additional  terms  apply  in  connection  with  your  required  deposit 
account. 
Deposit:  An  initial  deposit  account  balance  is  needed  to  open  your  Credit 
Account.  The initial deposit account balance amount needed is printed in the Truth 
In Savings Act Disclosure.  Once your Credit Account is opened, you may make 
additional deposits to your deposit account up to a maximum deposit account 
balance of $5,000.00. Any non-cash items tendered for deposit, (including items 
drawn on us) will be given only provisional credit until collection is final. We are 
not responsible for transactions initiated by mail or outside depository until we 
actually receive them. 
Withdrawals:  Since  this  deposit  account  is  collateral  for  your  Credit Account, 
withdrawals are not permitted from this deposit account while there remains an 
outstanding  balance  in  your  Credit Account  or  while  you  retain  possession  of 
any Card. In the event that your Credit Account is cancelled either by you or by 
us, we shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the earlier of the date of the 
return of your Card or the expiration date of the Card for all charges made on the 

Card to clear. When we receive payment in full under your Credit Account, and 
upon the expiration of this period, we will remit to you the full amount remaining 
in your deposit account.
Additional Terms and Disclosures: Additional information about your deposit 
account,  including  applicable  federal  Truth  In  Savings  Act  disclosures,  were 
provided to you upon our receipt of your initial deposit or in the Truth In Savings 
Act Disclosure.
Ownership  of  Account:  Individuals--If  the  deposit  account  is  opened  in 
the  name  of  one  person,  it  means  the  owner  does  not  intend  to  create  any 
survivorship rights in any other person. Joint Accounts--If the deposit account 
is opened in the name of more than one person, each person intends that upon 
their death the balance in the deposit account (subject to the pledge to us) will 
belong to the surviving person(s) named on the account. 
Bankruptcy: If you become a debtor in any proceeding under the United States 
Bankruptcy Code you agree that you will recognize us as a perfected secured 
creditor with respect to the deposit account and that you will declare the deposit 
account  as  exempt  property  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  United  States 
Bankruptcy Code or applicable State exemption laws.
Amendments:  We  may  amend  the  terms  and  conditions  applicable  to  Your 
Required Deposit Account separately from the remainder of this Contract at any 
time upon reasonable notice to you by mail, as required by law. If this is a joint 
account, notice by us to one of you is notice to both. 
Pledge  Agreement:  As  a  security  for  the  payment  of  all  credit  extended 
through  your  Credit Account,  you  pledge  to,  and  grant  First  PREMIER  Bank, 
its  successors  and  assigns,  a  security  interest  in  all  funds  now  and  hereafter 
deposited in your deposit account. You authorize us to unconditionally restrict 
withdrawals from your deposit account. If your Credit Account is in default, or if 
your Credit Account is terminated for any reason, we may at any time thereafter, 
and without notice to you (unless otherwise required by law), apply all or part of 
the funds in your deposit account to the payment of any and all amounts owed on 
your Credit Account. We may also exercise any other remedies under the terms 
of this Contract or otherwise available in law.

agencies  and  us  prior  to  our  removal  of  possible  unauthorized  charges  made 
against your Credit Account. You will not be liable for unauthorized use of your 
Card. Certain exceptions apply.
Refusal to Accept Your Card: We are not responsible if any person or merchant 
does not accept your Card, or if an ATM or other device fails to properly operate. 
All transactions, even when you get a receipt, are subject to our final verification.
Cards Are Our Property: You agree to return each Card issued on your Credit 
Account to us upon our demand.

USING YOUR CREDIT ACCOUNT
Your  Promise  To  Pay:  You  agree  to  pay  us  for  all  charges,  Cash Advances, 
INTEREST CHARGES, Purchases and fees incurred on your Credit Account by 
you, or by any Authorized User, as well as any other fees imposed by us, as

can obtain a Cash Advance at any authorized ATM by using the Card and PIN.

credit we have approved for your Credit Account. The amount of your Credit Limit 
is printed on the card carrier containing your Card and on your Statements. Your 
balance may not exceed your Credit Limit at any time. At our sole discretion, we

over your Credit Limit immediately. Decisions on Credit Limit increases may be 
based on your performance under this Credit Account and other Related Credit 
Accounts you have with us and other credit criteria. If we have previously allowed 
your balance to exceed your Credit Limit, it does not mean that we will permit 
your balance to exceed your Credit Limit again. We reserve the right to approve 
or deny authorizations or transactions from any merchant at our sole discretion.
Obtaining  Cash  Advances:  You  may  take  Cash  Advances  on  your  Credit 
Account in any of the following ways: By presenting the Card to us or any other 
participating MasterCard® or Visa® financial institution to obtain cash, by using 
the  Card  at  an  authorized  merchant,  other  non-bank  entity,  or  an Automated 
Teller Machine (ATM) or other device to obtain cash or cash equivalent, or to 
make a transfer from your Credit Account to any other deposit or loan account. 
Even if you use your Credit Account to obtain cash from a non-bank entity, the 
transaction will be described as a Bank Cash Advance.
You may not take Cash Advances in excess of $500.00 per day. The minimum 
Cash Advance per transaction is $20.00. For Credit Accounts opened on or after 
June 1, 2003, your initial Cash Advance limit will be 10% of your assigned Credit 
Limit. Once your Credit Account has been open and active for a minimum of 90 
days, has two consecutive months of current payment history, is not currently 
delinquent and no payments have been returned for the past 60 days, your Cash 
Advance availability may be increased to 50% of the assigned Credit Limit. For 
example, if your Credit Limit is $250.00, your beginning Cash Advance limit will 
be $25.00 and may increase to $125.00 once the criteria above are met.

to you at the address shown in our files. If this is a joint Credit Account, we can

communications to you at any address we determine to be an address at which 
you can receive mail. If you elect to receive Statements and other communications 
electronically, we may send those Statements and communications as directed 
by you.

of each monthly Billing Cycle in which your Credit Account has a debit or credit 
balance of more than $1.00, if an INTEREST CHARGE has been imposed or if 
other account activity has occurred. Your Statements will arrive around the same 
time each month, however we reserve the right to change the date of your Billing 
Cycle at any time.

the activity and our INTEREST CHARGES and other charges, costs and fees 
on your Credit Account during the Billing Cycle. They will also show your Total 

Minimum Amount Due and Payment Due Date, which is the date by which we 
must  receive  payment.  The  information  contained  on  the  Statement  will  be 
deemed to be correct unless you advise us in writing of any error within 60 days 
of  the  date  on  which  we  send  your  Statement.  If  there  are  more  than  one  of

ABOUT YOUR PAYMENTS
Amount  of  Payment:  You  must  make  Minimum  Payments  on  your  Credit 
Account.  Refer  to  the  Minimum  Payment  provisions  in  the  Account  Opening 
Disclosures printed on the card carrier containing your Card for more detailed 
information. Payments made in any Billing Cycle that are greater than the Total 
Minimum Amount Due will not affect your obligation to make the next monthly 
Minimum Payment. Each month your Statement shows a New Balance you must 
pay the Total Minimum Amount Due. Generally, credits to your Credit Account, 
such  as  those  generated  by  merchants,  are  not  treated  as  payments  on  your 
Credit Account and will not reduce your Total Minimum Amount Due. You have 
until the Payment Due Date shown on the front of your Statement, which is not 
less than 27 days from the Closing Date, to pay the Total Minimum Amount Due.
Applying Your Payments: We may apply your payment to whichever balances 
we  choose  to  the  extent  it  does  not  exceed  the  Total  Minimum Amount  Due 
shown  on  your  Statement.    The  amount  of  your  payment  in  excess  of  the 
Total Minimum Amount Due will be applied to balances subject to the highest 
APR prior to balances subject to lower APRs.  We may apply your payment to 
principal amounts, INTEREST CHARGES, fees and other charges in any order 
we choose, and we may change the order of application of payments from time 
to time at our discretion.
Availability of Credit: Available credit created as a result of payments posted 
to your Credit Account may not be available for up to 20 days, or even longer if 
circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves at risk for any 
reason. Your available credit may be limited, from time to time, if you provide 
your  Credit  Account  number  or  Card  to  a  merchant  that  processes  advance 
authorizations, such as hotels, motels and car rental. Such an authorization may 
limit  your  ability  to  make  Purchases  and  take  Cash Advances  on  your  Credit 
Account until the authorization is canceled by the merchant and your available 
credit is released.

Electronic  Check  Presentment:  When  you  send  us  a  personal  check,  you 
authorize  us  to  either  use  information  from  your  check  to  make  a  one-time 
electronic  transfer  from  your  account,  or  to  process  the  payment  as  a  check 
transaction. If your check is processed electronically, your canceled check will 
not be returned to you by your financial institution. We will retain an image of your 
electronically processed check(s) as required by law. If requested prior to the time 
we are allowed by law to destroy electronically processed checks, we will provide 
you  with  a  copy  of  your  electronically  processed  check(s)  upon  your  request. 
Funds  may  be  withdrawn  from  your  bank  account  as  soon  as  the  day  your 
payment is received. We agree to accept your checking account statement as 
proof of payment. The description on your checking account statement will read: 
PREMIER CR CARD CHECK-PAYMT, serial number of the check, amount of the 
payment and date of the transaction. If you choose to opt out of electronic check 
presentment, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-987-5521.
Late Payments: We may accept late payments, partial payments or checks or 
other payment instruments marked to impose terms or conditions of acceptance 
such as “paid in full” without waiving any of our rights under this Contract, and 
no attempt by you to impose any term or condition of acceptance will be effective 
against us.  Satisfaction of a debt for less than the full amount due or imposition 
of any other term or condition on us requires a written agreement, signed by an 
authorized Bank representative.
