Visa� Credit Card  
Terms & Conditions 
The words �you�, �your� and �yours� mean each and all of those who apply for, sign, or are authorized to use the Visa Credit Card. The words �we�, �us�, �our�, �MHV�, and �Credit Union� 
each mean Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union. 
1. Acceptance of Terms. Use of the card indicates acceptance of these terms and the MHV Membership Terms & Conditions. 
2. Credit Limit: We will establish your Credit Limit as the maximum principal amount of credit available to you under this Agreement, which we will provide in writing. You agree not 
to purchsae or obtain advances above your credit limit at any time. If you do it is a condition of default, subject to remedies stated below . You will pay any amounts which exceed the 
maximum limit upon demand. You understand that your Credit Limit can be increased and decreased by us at any time; however, you will be notified in writing.
3. Finance Charge.  A finance charge (interest) will be charged at the periodic rate per month on any outstanding balances. The finance charge (interest) is calculated based on 
two balances for your account: purchases balance and cash advances balance. The finance charge is based on the average daily balance in both cases. To compute the average 
daily balance for your account, we take the beginning purchases balance (or cash advance balance) in your account each day , add any new purchases (or cash advances), subtract 
payments or credits, which applied to that day�s purchases (or cash advances), as well as unpaid finance charges from previous months (finance charges are not included as part of 
your balance when determining the average daily balance). We then add up all the daily balances for Purchases; and for Cash Advances, for the billing cycle.  We divide those totals by 
the number of days in the billing cycle, thus we have the Average Daily Balance of Purchase and the Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances. Finance charges (interest) charged on 
the outstanding balance will be at the periodic rate per month on any outstanding balances that are not paid within the allowable grace period established by the Credit Union� s Board of 
Directors. The grace period applies only to purchases, not to cash advances. The minimum finance charge is $.50.
4. Monthly Statement.  At the end of each billing cycle that your account balance is greater than $1, you will receive a monthly statement showing the previous balance, all purchases 
and advances during that monthly period, finance charges, late charges (if any), new balance, minimum payment due, payment due date, periodic rate (percentage rate of finance 
charge which is charged against the balance for that period), and the annual percentage rate (which is the annual cost of credit in percentage terms).
5. Purchases and Advances. You can use your card to make purchases from any business accepting Visa cards. Using your card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) you can 
get cash advances from any bank that accepts Visa and from participating ATM�s. For advances and purchases, there may be a limit for each transaction or a daily limit. Convenience 
checks are posted to your account as cash advances. We are not responsible for the refusal of any plan, merchant or financial institution to honor your card.
6. Minimum Payment/Payment Allocation.  The minimum payment is the larger of twenty-five dollars ($25) or 1.67% of the total amount of purchases, advances and late charges. 
Payments over the minimum will be applied to the highest rate APR. Payments received by 5pm will be credited the same business day.
7. Lost or Stolen Cards.  If your card, personal identification number or both are lost or stolen, or are being used without your authorization, immediately notify V isa Security directly 
at 1.800.449.7728. Your card will be closed and a replacement card will be sent. If your card is used by an unauthorized person, you will have no liability if you notify us of any 
unauthorized charge(s) within a 60-day period following the closing date of the statement on which the charges appear . Funds will be refunded within 10 days of notification. You should 
provide us with written documentation of all fraudulent charges. However, the liability can be increased up to the limit if it is determined that you have handled your card fraudulently or 
were grossly negligent.
8. Default and Collection Cost.  You will be in default under this Agreement if any of the following events shall occur: (a) If you fail to comply with the minimum payment or any other 
terms or conditions of this Agreement or any other obligation you have or will have with us; (b) If you make false or misleading statements in any credit application or update of credit 
or membership information; (c) If you should die or become insolvent; (d) If a petition should be filed or other proceedings should be started under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or 
any State insolvency statute by or against you; (e) If a Receiver should be appointed or a writ or order of attachment, levy or garnishment should be issued against you or any of your 
property, assets or income; or (f) If we should consider yourself or any debts due under this Agreement unsafe or not completely secure or (g) if we should believe, in good faith, that 
the chances of your paying or performing all of your obligations under this Agreement have been impaired. The credit union may demand immediate payment of the full balance upon 
your failure to pay the minimum amount due on time or exceeding your credit limit without our permission. If the credit union asks that any amount owed be paid because one of the 
above events occurred, and the credit union refers the claim for collection to an attorney, you will be liable for any collection costs, including court costs and reasonable attorney fees. In 
accordance with the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Credit Union reserves the right to offset your depository account for delinquent payments. 
9. Delay in Enforcement.  We can delay enforcing our rights under this agreement without losing them.
10. Credit Reports. You authorize us to make or have any credit, employment and investigative inquiries as we deem appropriate for the extension of credit or collection of amounts 
owed on this account. We can furnish information concerning your account or credit file to consumer reporting agencies and others who may properly receive that information. We 
may request an updated credit report/credit score for purposes of determining your annual percentage rate. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. If you 
fail to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, including making late payments, missing payments, or other default on your account, a negative report reflecting on your credit record may be 
submitted to a credit reporting agency.
11. Amendment of Agreement/Right to Cancel. We can change this agreement at any time. However, if we do, we will mail you a written notice at least 45 days before the onset of 
your billing cycle, in which the changes become effective. If you do not agree with the changes, you must notify us in writing within 45 days and discontinue use of your card. You must 
also pay the balance of your account under the terms of the prior agreement.
12. Disclosure of Account.  Information to third parties: We will disclose information to third parties about your accounts (a) in order to verify the existence and condition of your 
account for a third party, such as a credit bureau; (b) in order to comply with a government agency or court order; and (c) if you give us your written permission.
13. Your Billing Rights. This notice contains information about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 
Notify us in case of errors or questions about your bill. If you think your bill is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us on a separate sheet at the 
address listed on your statement within 60 days after the statement closing date, on the first statement which indicated the error or mistake. Please include the following information in 
your letter:  
� Your name and account number  
� The dollar amount of the suspected error  
� Describe the error and your evaluation as to how the error may have occurred 
If you have authorized us to pay your credit card bill from your savings or checking account, you can stop the payment in writing received at least three business days before the 
automatic payment is scheduled to occur. 
Your Rights and Our Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written Notice. We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days, unless we have corrected the error by then. Within 90 
days, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the bill was correct. After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount you question, or report you as 
delinquent. We can continue to bill you for any amount you question, including finance charges, and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do not have to pay 
any questioned amount while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of the bill that are not in question. If we made a mistake on your bill, you will not have to 
pay any finance charge related to the questionable amount. If we didn�t make a mistake, you may have to pay finance charges, and you will have to make up any missed payments on 
the questioned amount. You will receive a statement with the amount you owe and the due date. If you fail to pay the amount due, we may report you as delinquent. However, if the 
explanation still does not satisfy you, write to us within 10 days explaining that you still refuse to pay , and we must tell you who your delinquency was reported to. If the matter is settled 
between us, we must inform anyone we reported your delinquency to that the matter has been settled. If we do not follow these rules, we cannot collect the first $50 of the questioned 
amount, even if your bill was correct.
14. Specific Rule for Credit Card Purchases. If you have a problem with the quality of property or service that you purchased with a 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 property or service. There are two limitations on this right: (a) You must have 
made the purchase within your home state, or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and (b) The purchase price must have been more than $50. These limitations do not 
apply if we own or operate the merchant, or if we mailed you the advertisement for the property or service.
15. Cancellations. You may cancel your account at any time by notifying us in writing and discontinuing use of your card. However, you remain responsible to pay the unpaid balance 
with interest and any other charges according to the terms of the agreement. The credit union may cancel or suspend your card privileges at any time without prior notice. 
16. Other Agreements.  In addition to the provisions of this agreement, use of your credit card is subject to other terms, conditions and disclosures of the Mid-Hudson V alley Federal 
Credit Union accounts that may be used.
17. Applicable Law. The relationship between you and the credit union is controlled by New York State and the National Credit Union Administration Rules and Regulations.
18. International Currency Conversion/Travel. The exchange rate for international transactions will be a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency 
markets, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date, plus 1%. Please contact us before 
traveling abroad as some restrictions may apply in foreign countries. 
19. Secured Visa Cards. Should your Visa card be approved based on pledging security  in your share account, you agree to maintain said amount of credit limit plus 25% in a deposit 
account to secure it in addition to the $5 minimum balance required to maintain your membership status. The credit union will freeze said share amount required to secure your V isa and 
will only consider releasing the frozen amount based on an updated credit decision. Should the security hold be released, your APR may increase. Should you become delinquent on 
your secured Visa, you agree to allow the credit union to offset your balance with said share amount.  
20. Illegal Transactions. You may not use the Card for any illegal or unlawful transaction, and we may decline to authorize any transaction that we believe poses an undue risk of 
illegality or unlawfulness.
