This does not apply to the penalty AnnualPercentage Rate referenced on your disclosure. Note that an increasein the Annual Percentage Rate may result in greater interest chargesand a larger monthly payment. The maximumAnnual Percentage Rate
 is18.00% .
Annual Percentage Rate - Penalty Rate
If your credit card account is delinquent 60 days, we will increaseyour
Annual Percentage Rate on the entire balance to 17.90%. ThePenalty APR will continue to apply unless you make 6 consecutiveminimum payments when due (beginning with the billing cycleimmediately following the application of the Penalty APR) and do notexceed your credit limit during that time period. If these requirementsare met, your credit card rate will be lowered to reflect your originaltier.
Monthly Periodic Rate
The Monthly Periodic Rate is determined by dividing the AnnualPercentage Rate by twelve (12 months in a year).
Calculation of Interest Charges
Interest Charges for each monthly billing cycle will be calculatedby multiplying the Average Adjusted Daily Balance by the MonthlyPeriodic Rate. We will calculate your Average Adjusted Daily Balanceas follows: We take the outstanding balance (all amounts you owe)at the start of the day. Then, in the sequence in which the amountspost to your account, we add the amount(s) of all debits and subtractthe amount(s) of all payments and credits which post to your accountthat day. After applying payments and credits, we subtract anyamount of late charge, interest charge, and any other charges thatremain unpaid.The result is the adjusted daily balance for that day. We add togetherall the adjusted daily balances for each day in the billing cycle anddivide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. The resultis the Average Adjusted Daily Balance for that billing cycle.Interest Charges are imposed only if you do not pay in full the newbalance for Purchases/Balance Transfers shown on your PeriodicStatement within 25 days of the end of the statement period.However, interest charges will be assessed and will accrue on anycash advance (
see Purchases /Balance Transfers/Cash Advances ) from the date that such cash advance transaction is posted to youraccount to the date the cash advance balance is paid in full or theStatement Closing Date whichever comes first, even if payment ofthe entire New Balance is received by us by the Payment Due Date.In other words, there is no time period within which credit extendedto you by a cash advance may be repaid without incurring an interestcharge.
Late Charge
If the minimum payment due is not received by the Credit Unionwithin 15 days after the payment due date, a late charge of $25 willbe imposed.
Additional Fees and Service Charges
We may charge additional service charges for the following:
� Each draft copy that you request: $10� Additional copies of your monthly billing statement: $2(per statement)past due. Payments made in excess of the minimum payment willbe applied first to the balance with the highest interest rate, thensuccessively to each lower interest rate until the excess paymentamount is exhausted. If you have a credit balance on your accountdue to merchant credits, adjustments or overpayments, we willhold and apply this credit balance against future purchases andcash advances, or refund it at your written request. An increase ordecrease in the Annual Percentage Rate may result in an increase ordecrease in your monthly payment.
