CREDIT CARD SERVICES 
The following provisions relate only to credit card services except as otherwise applicable. 

ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION 
At Account opening, we will grant you a line of credit with a minimum dollar limit of $400, and a maximum dollar limit of $5,000 equal to 
the amount you deposit into your Pledged Account. If your account is in good standing, you may subsequently increase the credit limit by 
depositing additional funds in increments of $100 dollars to the Pledged Account up to the $5000 maximum.  Accrued interest on the 
Pledged Account will be included in meeting the $100 increment.  Larger deposits and credit limits in excess of $5000 are at our sole 
discretion.   This limit will be indicated on your Statement.   You may not decrease your credit limit by withdrawing funds from the Pledged 
Account.   

 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may use your Account to make Purchases and obtain Cash Advances, including Balance 
Transfers and Convenience Checks that do not exceed your credit limit at any time.  Should your Purchases, and/or Cash Advances ever 
exceed your credit limit, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and demand the return of your Card(s).  We can increase or 
decrease your credit limit at any time without prior notice or liability.  A change to your credit limit will not affect your obligation to pay us. 

We may decline, at any time in our sole discretion, an authorization request for any transaction for any reason, included but not limited to:                    

•   operational considerations, 
•  your Account is in default, 
•   we suspect fraudulent or unlawful activity 

We are not responsible for any losses or damages, including consequential damages, if a transaction on your Account is declined, either by 
us or a third party, even if you have sufficient credit available. 

PROMISE TO PAY 
 You promise to pay for all Purchases and Cash Advances, including Balance Transfers and Convenience Checks, made by you through the 
use of the Account.  In addition, you promise to pay all other amounts owed due to use of the Account by anyone else you authorize to 
use the Account until such person’s authority is ended.  You may only end such person’s authority by notifying us in writing and returning 
to us any Card such person may have.  All of you are responsible, both together and individually, for the entire Account balance even 
though only one of you uses the Account. 

SECURED CREDIT CARD SAVINGS ACCOUNT 
 You are required to open a Pledged Account which will serve as security for your Obligations and execute a Security Agreement and 
Assignment of Secured Credit Card Savings Account. The owners of this Account and the Pledged Account must be the same.  The 
issuance of your Card or increase of your credit limit may be delayed for a reasonable period of time, following the deposit of funds to the 
Pledged Account.   

Collateral securing other loans with us may also secure this indebtedness. 

BILLING STATEMENTS 
Approximately once a month, you will receive a Statement.  On average, your payment is due within 25 days from the date of the 
Statement (payment due date). 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PAYMENT OPTIONS 
You may pay the new balance shown on your Statement each month or you may pay in monthly installments.  If you decide to pay in 
monthly installments, you must pay at least the minimum payment on your Statement.  The minimum payment will be the greater of: 

• 
• 
• 

$30.00 or the full amount of your total balance if it is less than $30.00; or 
3.00% of your new balance plus any amounts that are past due; or 
1.00% of your new balance plus any amounts that are past due, plus Fees and Interest Charges accumulated during the billing period. 

When a payment is posted to your Account, we reserve the right to place a temporary hold on the available credit created by the payment 
until we can reasonably determine that the check or other form of payment will be paid. 

OVERDRAFT PROTECTION 
If you select overdraft protection, a Cash Advance will be made to cover an overdraft in your designated Commerce Bank deposit account.  
Such Overdraft Cash Advances will be in the amount of $50.00 or multiples of $50.00.  If the designated deposit account is a joint account, 
you will be liable for all overdrafts on the account regardless of which joint account owner caused, or benefited from the overdraft.  Each 
Overdraft Cash Advance is at our discretion.  We are not liable or responsible for any check drawn that may for any reason be returned or 
otherwise dishonored.  We may cancel this overdraft feature at any time without notice. 

BALANCE ON WHICH INTEREST CHARGE IS CALCULATED 
If you accrue any Interest Charge on your Account at a variable rate, that rate will be calculated by adding a margin to the Prime Rate.  
Please see the ACCOUNT OPENING DISCLOSURE, which is part of this Agreement, for specific information regarding the 
APRs used to compute your Interest Charges. 

We calculate your Daily Balance for each day in the billing cycle by taking your beginning balance, adding any new transactions or other 
debits, and subtracting any payments or other credits.  We multiply the Daily Balance by the Daily Periodic Rate to get your Interest 
Charges for that day.  We add these Interest Charges to your Daily Balance to get the beginning balance for the next day.  We do this for 
all days on which you have a balance owing on the Account, disregarding any credit balance, for the billing cycle. 

We add all the daily Interest Charges and round the sum to the next highest cent to get your total Interest Charges for that billing cycle.  
We do this calculation separately for each type of balance. 

The Prime Rate used to determine the APR on your Account is the U.S. Prime Rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its column called 
“Money Rates” on the last Business Day of each month.  Although each Daily Periodic Rate is determined by an index published prior to 
the first day of each calendar month, the respective Daily Periodic Rate will only become effective and charged as of the first day of the 
monthly billing period following the respective calendar month in which the index is so published.  No representation is made that the U.S. 
Prime Rate is the lowest, the best or the favored rate of interest.  If for any reason The Wall Street Journal no longer publishes the "Money 
Rates" column, then we will choose a new index based on comparable information.  An increase in the Prime Rate will cause your interest 
rate to increase and may cause your minimum monthly payment to increase. 

INTEREST CHARGE COMPUTATION 
•  ON PURCHASES:  Interest Charges on Purchases begin to accrue on the transaction date, provided such date will never be later 

than the date the Purchase is posted to the Account or earlier than the first day of the billing cycle for the Statement on which such 
transaction is shown.  Purchases are subject to a Grace Period.  If the previous balance is zero, or was paid in full by the payment due 
date shown on your Statement, no Interest Charge will be assessed on current Purchases. 

•  ON CASH ADVANCES:  Interest Charges begin to accrue on the date of the Cash Advance, provided such date will never be later 
than the date the Cash Advance is posted to the Account or earlier than the first day of the billing cycle for the Statement on which 
such advance is shown.   

TOTAL INTEREST CHARGE COMPUTATION 
We add Interest Charges for each type of balance to obtain your total Interest Charge for each billing cycle.   

TERMINATION OF INTRODUCTORY OR PROMOTIONAL RATES 
If during an Introductory or Promotional Rate period, we have not received the required minimum monthly payment within 60 days of the 
respective payment due date, we will increase the applicable APR to the Penalty APR.  Introductory and/or Promotional Rates will not be 
reinstated. 

FEES 

TRANSACTION, ANNUAL AND PENALTY FEES:   

Please see the ACCOUNT OPENING DISCLOSURE for information regarding the specific Fees that may be charged to your Account. 

Minimum Interest Charge 
A minimum Interest Charge will be imposed in any billing cycle for which an Interest Charge is payable, and will appear on your Statement 
as a Fee. 

Annual Fee 
An Annual Fee will be charged annually to your Account.   
The imposition or payment of an Annual Fee does not affect or limit our right to terminate this Agreement, cancel your Account, and 
demand payment, in a manner permitted by law, of any amounts owed on your Account. 

Late Payment Fee 
For each minimum payment not received by the fifteenth day following the payment due date, we may charge a Late Payment Fee.   

Foreign Transactions 

Visa and MasterCard Purchases, cash withdrawals and Cash Advances made in currencies other than U.S. Dollars will be converted to U.S. 
Dollars under regulations established by VISA® International and MasterCard® International.  Visa conversion will be at a rate selected by 
Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the 
rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.  MasterCard conversion will 
be at a rate selected by MasterCard, typically either a government-mandated rate or a wholesale rate provided to MasterCard.  Conversion 
to U.S. dollars may occur on a date other than the date of the transaction.  Therefore, the conversion rate may be different from the rate 
in effect at the time of the transaction.  You agree to pay the converted amount plus the applicable foreign transaction fee.  For Purchases, 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
cash withdrawals, and Cash Advances made in U.S. dollars outside of the United States and its territories, you agree to pay the transaction 
amount, plus the applicable foreign transaction fee.

to your Account. 

Non Overdraft Cash Advance Transaction Fee 
You will not be charged a Transaction Fee, with a minimum and no maximum, for each Cash Advance posted to your Account. 

Overdraft Cash Advance Transaction Fee 
You will not be charged a Transaction Fee for each Cash Advance resulting from the overdraft protection. 

Overlimit Fee 
In the event your balance exceeds your credit limit, no Fee will be charged.  

OTHER FEES: 

Returned Payment Fee 
A Fee will be charged for any check or other form of payment sent to us which is returned unpaid. 

Convenience Checks and Document Copy Charges 
Charges for Convenience Checks and requests for copies of sales drafts, Statements or other documents related to your Account may be 
billed on your Account as Purchases in accordance with the fee schedule established by us from time to time.  No charge will be made for 
copy requests related to billing error resolution within 60 days of the disputed transaction. 

TOTAL FEE COMPUTATION 
We add all Fees assessed to obtain your total Fees for each billing cycle.   

CANCELLATION 
To the extent permitted by law, Commerce Bank may cancel your Account, refuse to allow further transactions against your Account or 
revoke your Card(s) at any time (whether or not you are in default of any part of this Agreement) including, without limitation, when any 
affiliation you may have with a sponsoring organization ceases or when any agreement we may have with the sponsoring organization is

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: 

The charge in question may remain on your Statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. 

•  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent 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 Charges 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 Charges 
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: 

Commerce Bank 
P.O. Box 411036, Kansas City, MO 64141-1036. 

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.

Card(s) and/or PIN, you agree to all the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to your promise to pay.  You will not be 
liable for unauthorized use that occurs after you notify Commerce Bank orally or in writing.  Notification of loss, theft or possible

from a Commerce Bank branch, through Commerce Bank Online Banking, or from our Customer Service Department at 1-800-645-2103. 
These features are not automatically activated. 

For customers with a Special Connections® Visa® or MasterCard® credit card, please note: The Special Connections Feature is different 
from a Commerce Bank Special Connections Visa or MasterCard credit card.  The Special Connections Feature allows you to add certain 
functionality to any Commerce Bank-issued credit card, including Commerce Bank’s Special Connections Visa or MasterCard credit card.  
However, your Special Connections Visa or MasterCard credit card is not automatically enabled with the Special Connections Feature.  You

Feature in order for that card to utilize the Special Connections Feature’s capabilities described herein. 

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS 
The following provisions apply only to Electronic Fund Transfers (“EFTs”).  EFTs are any transfer of funds initiated with your Card(s) at an 
ATM or as a PIN-based debit transaction (“Point of Sale”).  We can cancel these services at any time and for any reason without notice.  
We can also cancel your entire Account, including credit card services, and revoke your Card(s) as provided in the CANCELLATION 
paragraph above.  This may be done by an ATM or merchant not returning your Card(s) to you.  We may change the terms of this 
Agreement relating to EFTs without notice to you unless required by law. 

WHAT CONSTITUTES BANK’S BUSINESS DAY 
Our Business Days are Monday through Friday.  Federal holidays are not included. 

DISCLOSURE OF CONSUMER’S LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS AND ADVISABILITY OF PROMPT REPORTING 
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card(s) has/have been lost or stolen or if you believe that an EFT has been made without your 
permission.  Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.  You could lose all the money in your deposit account plus 
your maximum overdraft line of credit.  If you tell us within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, you can 
lose no more than $50 if someone used your Card without your permission. 

If you do NOT tell us within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card, and we can prove that we could have 
stopped someone from using your Card and making transfers from your deposit account without your permission if you had told us, you 
could lose as much as $500. 

Also, if your deposit statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by Card, code or other means, tell us at once.  
If you do not tell us within 60 days after the deposit statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 
days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.  If a good reason (such as a 
long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods at our discretion. 

TELEPHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS TO BE NOTIFIED IN EVENT OF UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFER OR LOST/STOLEN CARD 
If you believe your Card has been lost or stolen, call:  1-800-645-2103 or write:  Commerce Bank, P.O. Box 411036, Kansas City, 
MO 64141-1036.  If you believe that someone has transferred, or may transfer money from your deposit account without your 
permission, call or write us at the phone number or address shown at the top of your deposit statement rather than the phone number 
and address in this paragraph.

At the ATM, insert your Card and enter the credit card PIN that you established for this Card to (i) withdraw cash from, deposit money in, 
transfer funds between, or learn the balances in your checking, regular savings or money-market accounts; (ii) use funds from your 
checking, regular savings, and money-market accounts to make payments on your Commerce credit cards, lines of credit or loans or (iii) 
take cash advances on your Commerce credit cards.   

The account(s) you designate for ATM accessibility will be considered your Special Connections Feature at the ATM Account(s) (“ATM 
Account”).  If you wish to designate one or more checking accounts as an ATM Account, then you must designate one of those checking 
accounts as your Point of Sale Account as defined below.   In order to have ATM access to your checking accounts, you must at all times 
maintain a Point of Sale Account.  If you no longer have a Point of Sale Account, then you will lose ATM access to all of your checking 
accounts.  

Commerce has no control over the functionalities offered at non-Commerce ATMs.  Some or all of these features may not be available at 
all non-Commerce ATMs and some ATMs may allow you to perform other functions not mentioned here, including the ability to make 
purchases (e.g. stamps).  If at any time you use a non-Commerce ATM to request to take money from an account that you do not have or 
if the non-Commerce ATM does not prompt you to select a specific account from which to take the money, then you agree that Commerce 
will attempt to comply with your request by providing you with money from one of your open ATM Accounts. Cash withdrawals may be 
taken from any open deposit ATM Account owned by you and cash advances may be taken from any credit card ATM Account owned by 
you. 

Point of Sale Transaction 
You may designate one (1) checking account as your Special Connections Feature at the Point of Sale Account (“Point of Sale Account”).  
At merchants that have agreed to accept the Card on networks utilized by us, you can use funds in your Point of Sale Account to pay for 
your purchases. When prompted, select “DEBIT” at the point of sale and enter your credit card PIN that is tied to this Card. The purchase 
amount will be deducted from your Point of Sale Account. The use of your Card in this manner constitutes a simultaneous withdrawal from 
and/or demand upon your checking account, even though the transaction may not actually be posted to your account until a later date.  

Only Commerce checking accounts are eligible for this functionality and only one (1) Commerce Bank checking account can be designated 
as the Point of Sale Account at any one time.  Your Point of Sale Account shall always remain as an ATM Account.  If at any time you 
instruct Commerce to remove the Point of Sale capabilities from your card, you will no longer have access to any of your checking 
accounts at the ATM.   

ATM and Point of Sale transactions will post to your checking account(s) as detailed in your Deposit Agreement.    

Foreign Transaction 
For transactions occurring outside of the United States, the nature of which is unspecified to us, we will apply the transaction to accounts 
in the following order: checking, money-market, regular savings, Commerce Visa or Commerce MasterCard. 

Limitation on Frequency of Transfers.  There are no limitations on the number of transfers that can be made during any time period 
to or from any deposit account. 
• 
• 

Point of sale transactions using a credit card PIN to access a checking account:  Unlimited. 
ATM withdrawals or deposits:  Unlimited. 

Limitation on Dollar Amount of Transfers.  The balance available for authorizing PIN purchases and cash withdrawals is the lesser of 
1) your available deposit account balance, plus any credit available through an overdraft protection line of credit or through any overdraft 
authorized by us in our sole discretion, OR 2) daily dollar limitations.  For Cash Advances against a Commerce Bank credit card, you may 
withdraw cash up to the lesser of your available credit line or daily dollar limitations.  In addition, daily withdrawal frequency limitations 
may apply to Cash Advances.  Dollar limitations may differ at non-Commerce ATMs. 

POINT OF SALE TRANSACTIONS 
You may use your Card only in the manner and for the purposes authorized by this Agreement.  Any person honoring your Card may be 
required to obtain approval or authorization for any transaction.  We may recognize a transaction even if we have not authorized it, but 
that does not mean we will authorize the same type of transaction again.  You do not have the right to stop payment on any point-of-sale 
card transaction originated by use of your Card. 

If an overdraft in your deposit account results from the use of the Card, you will pay us on demand this negative balance and our then 
current charge for overdrafts.  In addition, if your deposit account is closed before transactions are posted you will pay us on demand the 
outstanding amount. 

CHARGES FOR TRANSFERS OR RIGHT TO MAKE TRANSFERS 
With the following exceptions, there will be no ATM charge for validation of your Card or for any transfer, withdrawal, or balance inquiry or 
credit card Cash Advance initiated by the use of your Card at Commerce Bank ATMs.  We will charge you $2.00 for each transfer, 
withdrawal, or balance inquiry you make at non-Commerce ATMs; however, there will be no ATM charge by us for credit card Cash 
Advances.  If your account is a regular savings account and you make more than three withdrawals or transfers during the deposit 
statement cycle, we will charge $1.00 for each withdrawal or transfer over three. 

FEES CHARGED BY OTHERS 
When you use an ATM not owned by us you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator (or any network used) and you may be charged a 
fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a fund transfer. 

RIGHT TO RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSFERS 
Terminal Receipts.  You may choose to get a receipt at the time you make a transfer to or from your account using one of our ATMs. 
Periodic Statement.  You will get a monthly deposit statement if you have an account upon which checks or drafts may be drawn.  You 
will get a monthly deposit statement on your regular savings account if there are electronic transfers during the month.  In any case you 
will get a regular savings deposit statement at least quarterly. 

DISCLOSURE OF BANK’S LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO MAKE TRANSFERS 
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be 
liable for your losses or damages.  However, there are some exceptions.  We will not be liable, for instance:

If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. 
There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “Daily Balance” (including new Purchases and Fees).  See 
the account agreement for more details. 

Prime Rate:  The Prime Rate used to determine the APR on your Account is the U.S. Prime Rate published in The Wall 
Street Journal in its column called “Money Rates” on the last business day of each month.  Although each Daily Periodic Rate 
is determined by an index published prior to the first day of each calendar month, the respective Daily Periodic Rate will only 
become effective and charged as of the first day of the monthly billing period following the respective calendar month in 
which the index is so published.  No representation is made that the U.S. Prime Rate is the lowest, the best or the favored 
rate of interest.  If for any reason The Wall Street Journal no longer publishes the “Money Rates” column, then we will choose 
a new index based on comparable information.  An increase in the Prime Rate will cause your interest rate to increase and 
may cause your minimum monthly payment to increase. 

Cost of Card:  The information about the costs of the card described in this application is accurate as of December, 2013.  
This information may change after that date.  To find out what may have changed, call us at 1-800-645-2103. 

Daily Periodic Rate:  The Daily Periodic Rate for all APRs equals the APR divided by 365.
