ACCOUNT 
Taking into consideration the credit granted by Banco Popular of Puerto Rico (Bank) under this account, you (meaning each person 
who  signs  this  Agreement  as  purchaser)  bind  yourself  to  pay  to  the  Bank  the  total  price  of  all  purchases  and  cash  advances 
(includes  balance  transfers  from  other  institutions  and  convenience  checks)  made  on  this  account,  as  well  as  the  INTEREST 
CHARGES agreed upon under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The card may be used to purchase merchandise and 
services in those establishments where the Card is accepted, and to obtain cash advances from the Bank or any other bank that 
accepts the Cards, subject to the limits established from time to time by the Bank.  

CREDIT LIMIT 
You  agree  that  the  Bank,  for your  convenience,  will  establish  a  credit  limit and  that  the purchases  and  cash  advances  that  you 
charge to this Account, shall at no time exceed your credit limit. Upon receipt of your Card, you will be informed of your credit limit, 
which will appear in each monthly Account Statement as defined herein. You agree that the Bank may, from time to time, change 
your credit limit, taking into consideration your previous credit experience or payment history. Should you exceed your authorized 
credit limit; the Bank will have the right to cancel the Card, require its return or forfeit the Card and close the account. Any amount 

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
due, in excess of your authorized credit limit, shall be payable immediately. Your minimum payment shall include any excess over 
your authorized credit limit. The Bank may approve purchases or cash advances which cause the balance to exceed your credit 
limit without waiving any of its rights under this Agreement. 

INTEREST CHARGES APPLICABLE: 
The INTEREST CHARGES will be computed on the principal balance only. You will pay a monthly INTEREST CHARGE 
on the balance of your account for the billing period. This INTEREST CHARGE will be variable and can change for each 
billing period. The INTEREST CHARGE for purchases, balance transfers from other institutions and convenience checks 
will  be  determined  by adding  the  value  of  the  United States  Prime  Rate,  published  in  The  Wall  Street  Journal (Prime 
Rate) effective at the time of approval of your application to a margin. This is equivalent to your STANDARD ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE  RATE  (Standard  APR).  The  APR  for  Purchases  and  Balance  Transfers  from  other  institutions  will  be 
from 12.24% up to 25.24% with a corresponding Daily Periodic Rate from 0.0335 up to 0.0692%.The Standard ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE RATE for cash advances will be determined by adding the Prime Rate to a margin.  The APR for Cash 
Advances will be from 19.49% up to 25.24% with a corresponding Daily Periodic Rate from 0.0534% up to 0.0692%.  To 
determine  the  corresponding  Daily  Periodic  Rate,  the  Standard  APR  must  be  divided  by  365  and  rounded  up  not 
exceeding the limits allowed by law.  For US Virgin Islands, the margin applicable to your account will depend on your 
credit history at the time of approval of your application.  For British Virgin Islands the margin applicable to your account 
will depend on the banking relationship you maintain with the Bank at the time of approval of your application. For each 
billing period, the INTEREST CHARGE and the Standard APR will be based on the Prime Rate current three business 
days prior to your account statement closing date. In the event that The Wall Street Journal is not published within any 
time period, the “LA TIMES” will be used as reference. An increase of the Prime Rate could represent an increase in the 
Standard  APRs  and  in  the  minimum  monthly  payment.  Any  change  in  your  INTEREST  CHARGE  will  apply  to  the 
Balance in your account and to new transactions during the billing period.  The INTEREST CHARGE is determined by 
multiplying  the  Average  Daily  Balance by  the  Daily Periodic Rate  and by  the  number of  days  in  the billing cycle.  The 
Average Daily Balance is obtained by taking into account the initial balance for each day of the billing period, subtracting 
the payments and credits, and adding the purchases. Then all the daily balances within the billing period are added and 
the said total is divided by the number of days included within the billing period..  

ANNUAL FEE 
If applicable, the Annual Fee will be reflected on your first Account Statement after the first Card is issued and subsequently on 
each anniversary of the issuance of the first Card. Please refer to the “Annual Fee” section on the table included. 

MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT  
The monthly minimum payment will be determined using the Outstanding Balance. In addition, the minimum monthly payment shall 
include the total amount in excess of your authorized credit limit.  For balances from $0.01 to $24.99 the Minimum Payment will be 
the  Outstanding  Balance.    For  Balances  of  $25  and  over  the  Minimum  Payment  will  be  2%  of  the  Outstanding  Balance  or  the 
Finance Charges + $10 or a fixed amount of $25, whichever is higher.   

PAYMENT APPLICATION 
If you pay the required minimum payment of the monthly Account Statement, said payment shall be applied in the following way: 
first  to  INTEREST    CHARGES  and  the  remaining  amount  shall  be  applied  first  to  the  debt  resulting  from  purchases  and  cash 
advances, with the lowest APR and then to the debt with the higher APR in ascending order. Consequently, the debt with the higher 
APR will not be reduced, until the debt with the lower APR is paid in full. If you pay an amount in excess of the minimum required 
payment the excess will be applied to the most onerous debt. Electronic, telephone and mailed payments are credited on the same 
day  if  they  are  received  by  5:00  p.m.  Monday  through  Friday  (excluding  holidays).    Mailed  payments  shall  be  received  at  the 
address  indicated  on  your  Account  Statement,  made  with a  check  drawn  against  the  Bank,  and  accompanied  with  the  payment 
stub.  It  will  be  also  processed  the  same  date  if  the  payment  is  made  through  a  Banco  Popular  branch  in  Puerto  Rico  or  Virgin 
Islands  during  business  hours  in  cash,  or  by  check  drawn  against  the  Bank.  Credit  of  other  payments  that  do  not  meet  these 
requirements may be delayed five business days during which interests will not accrue.

returned check.  The Hold will delay for a 10 day period the availability on the credit line for an amount equal to the payment made.

of  your  account  during  the  term  of  your  offer.  You  will  be  responsible  to  pay  the  total  minimum  monthly  payment  amount  as

CASHBACK REWARDS PROGRAM 
Visa Return accumulates in cash 1% of all net purchases made with your credit card (the "Reward"). In your monthly statement you 
will  receive  an  estimate of  the  Reward  accumulated.  The redemption  of money  will  be automatic  and  will  occur once  a  year,  in 
January. You will not be able to redeem your Reward before this. The Bank will send you a check for the balance of your Reward to 
the  address  where  you  receive  your  monthly  statements.  You  will  not  accumulate  a  Reward  for  balance  transfers,  convenience 
checks, cash advances, payments thru TelePago® Popular or Internet Banking, the purchase of casino chips or other methods of 
gambling, or any other transaction the Bank determines at its discretion constitutes or is equivalent to a cash advance. If you return 
merchandise  the  Reward  for  that  merchandise  will  be  deducted.  The  percent  of  the  deduction  will  be  calculated  based  on  the 
earning  structure  at  the  moment  the  merchandise  was  returned.  If  the  amount  of  your  Reward  is  less  than  $10.00  you  will  not 
receive a check but it will accumulate for the next year. If your account has a derogative condition the Bank will be able to retain 
your Reward until the condition ends or cancel the Reward completely, at the Bank's discretion. When calculating the Reward, the 
Bank will use the total dollar amount of each transaction eliminating the cents. The Bank's determination of the Reward is final. To 
receive  the  Reward  your  account  must  be  kept  open  until  the  date  of  the  Reward  payment.  The  cash  back  rewards  program  is 
subject to changes or cancellation at any moment at the Bank's discretion.

criteria are met.  If you receive this offer, your account statement will reflect a required Minimum Payment of $0, and you 
may not have to make the Minimum Payment for that billing cycle.  If you decide to skip a payment we will continue to 
accrue Interest Charges on the unpaid balance of your account during that period.  However, you can always make a 
payment for any amount.  At the end of the skip a payment period, the terms of the Agreement regarding the required 
Minimum  Payment  will  automatically  resume.   If  you have  an  Installment  Plan and/or  an  outstanding balance  on  your
