We use APRs to calculate interest charges on your Account.  Our Visa credit card program is a variable rate program, which means that your APR may increase or decrease each Billing Period while you maintain your Account with us.  The APR that applies to your Account may vary with changes to the U.S. Prime Rate.  The U.S. Prime Rate is the highest U.S. Prime Rate (the �Index�) published in The Wall Street Journal. In the event that the U.S. Prime Rate ceases to be published, changes in your APR will be related to a comparable index and we will inform you on your periodic statement or through a separate notice.  Your APR is subject to change each Billing Period based on an increase or decrease in the Index.  We calculate your APR for Transactions by adding an amount, which we call the Margin, to the Index in effect as of the first Tuesday of the month preceding the start date of each Billing Period.  These dates are referred to by us as �Adjustment Dates.�  You can find the initial Index, Margin, Daily Periodic Rate and corresponding APR we use for your Account listed in the �Additional Disclosure � Federal Truth-in-Lending Act� .Your APR may increase if the Index increases and decrease if the Index decreases.  If your APR increases, then your interest charges and Minimum Payment Due may increase.  If the Index changes, we will apply the new variable APR starting from first day of the next billing cycle and that APR will remain in effect for the entire billing cycle. APR is determined on the first Tuesday of each month by adding a variable Index in effect on the first Tuesday of the prior month to a Margin. The Index is the Prime Rate published in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal on the first Tuesday of the month preceding the month in which the change takes effect. The new APR will apply to existing balances, as well as balances added to your Account after the change.  We may waive an increase in the APR when such an increase can be made, but such a waiver will not be construed as a waiver of our right to increase the APR at a future date when entitled to do so.There is no minimum APR that can apply during the term of this Agreement.  The maximum APR that can apply during the term of this Agreement is 18.00%.  There are no annual (or other) limitations on changes in the APR during the term of this Agreement.    INTEREST CHARGES: Interest charges will be imposed on Transactions only if you elect not to pay the entire Account Balance shown on your periodic statement by the Payment Due Date.  If you elect not to pay the entire Account Balance shown on your periodic statement by the Payment Due Date, interest charges will be imposed on the unpaid Average Daily Balance of Transactions from the previous statement closing date and on the new Transactions from the date of posting to your account during the current Billing Period, and will  � You must not enclose more than one check per envelope.� You must not include any restrictive endorsements on the check.� You must follow any additional payment instructions shown on your periodic statement. � If you do not follow our payment instructions, we may not accept your payment, or there may be a delay in crediting your Account.  Either may result in late fees and additional interest charges to your Account.  If you do not follow the payment instructions in this Agreement or on your periodic statement, we may accept your payment without losing our rights.PREPAYMENT OR IRREGULAR PAYMENTS:  Though you need only pay the Minimum Payment Due, you have the right to repay your Account Balance at any time without penalty.  You will only be charged interest charges to the date you repay your entire Account Balance.  You may make larger payments without penalty and this may reduce the total amount of interest charges that you will repay.  If you pay more than the Minimum Payment Due in any month and there is still a balance due, you must continue to make Minimum Payments in future months.  Any partial payment of your Account Balance will not advance your next payment due date(s).  You understand and agree that any payment that (a) delays or (b) accelerates the repayment of your Account Balance will (a) increase or (b) decrease your Monthly Periodic interest charge.PAYMENTS BY AUTOMATIC TRANSFER: By separate agreement, you may authorize us to automatically transfer the Minimum Payment Due from your Credit Union savings or checking account.  If you request payment by automatic transfer, you understand and agree that no payment will be made if there are insufficient or uncollected funds in the designated savings or checking account to make the scheduled payment. Should this event occur, you understand and agree that you will not be released from making the payment.  Any automatic transfer you have requested will remain in effect until you cancel it in writing or the Account Balance is paid in full.  To stop a payment by automatic transfer, you may send us a letter requesting that the payment be stopped. Your letter must be received by Schools Financial Credit Union, Attention: Card Services Department, P .O. Box 526003, Sacramento, CA 95852, at least three (3) business days before the automatic payment is scheduled to occur.

We will accept full satisfaction of indebtedness only in a written agreement, signed by an authorized representative of the Credit Union.CREDIT REPORTINGCREDIT REPORTING: In connection with our issuance of a Card to you, we are allowed to obtain information about you.

To get the Average Daily Balance:� We start with the beginning balance of your account each day.� We add any new Transactions, fees and other charges� We subtract any credits or payments credited as of that day and any unpaid interest or other finance charges.� This gives us the daily balance.  Then, we add up all the daily balances for the Billing Period and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Period. This gives us the average daily balance. GRACE PERIOD:  You will not pay any interest on Purchases if you pay the Account Balance, including any Balance Transfers, in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your periodic statement each Billing Period.  We call this a grace period on Purchases.  Generally, you will have at least a 25-day grace period from the close of each Billing Period to pay the Account Balance without incurring additional interest.  The Payment Due Date disclosed on each periodic statement provided to you is the last day of your grace period for that statement�s billing cycle.  If you do not pay the Account Balance, including any Balance Transfers, in full by the Payment Due Date in a Billing Period, you will pay interest on your Purchases from the date they are posted to your Account.  You also will not have a grace period on Purchases again until you pay the Account Balance in full by the Payment Due Date two (2) Billing Periods in a row.   There is no grace period on Balance Transfers and Cash Advances.  This means you will pay interest on Balance Transfers and Cash Advances from the date these transactions post to your Account.PAYMENTSMINIMUM PAYMENT: Every month, you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date shown on your periodic statement.  The Minimum Payment Due will be either (1) 2.0% of your Account Balance or $20.00, whichever is greater; or (2) your Account Balance if it is less than $20.00.  In addition, you must pay any amount past due, any late charge and any amount over the Credit Limit.  APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS:  We decide how to apply your payments, up to the Minimum Monthly Payment amount, to the balances on your Account.  We will apply the Minimum Monthly Payment amount in the following order: (1) unpaid fees and charges, if any; (2) unpaid periodic interest charges due on Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash Advances, and other unpaid finance charges; (3) outstanding balances of Cash Advances, Balance Transfers and Purchases previously billed, and (4) current Cash Advances, Balance Transfers and Purchases.  If you pay more than the Minimum Payment Due amount, the amount in excess of the Minimum Payment Due will be applied first to the balances subject to the highest APR and then to balances subject to lower APRs, in descending order of APRs until all balances subject to an APR are paid in full.  You must continue to make payments until you have paid the Account Balance in full.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS: You must follow the instructions below when making a payment.

FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS:  Purchases, Cash Advances (at an ATM or branch of a financial institution) and credits made in foreign currencies will be billed to your Account in U.S. dollars.  The conversion to U.S. dollars will be made in accordance with the Visa operating regulations for international transactions.  In the event that an international transaction is converted to U.S. dollars the exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions will be: (1) a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the ap - plicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives; or (2) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.  The rate in effect on the applicable processing date may differ from the rate on the date you used your Card.  When a credit to the account does not fully offset a charge to the account due to changes in the rate, you are responsible for the difference.  For Purchases and Cash Advances (at an ATM or branch of a financial institution), we will charge a Foreign Transaction Fee in an amount equal to 0.8% of the amount of the Purchase or Cash Advance for single currency international transactions (transactions made internationally without a currency conver - sion) or 1% for multi-currency international transactions (transactions made internationally that require a currency conversion).  The Foreign Transaction Fee will be added to the amount of the Purchase or Cash Advance. The 0.8% Foreign Transaction Fee for single currency international transactions does not apply to transactions originating on U.S. military bases, U.S. embassies and consulates. The above fees for the Billing Period will be shown on your periodic statement.
