may make available at times.

• When you use your account to make transactions, you agree that you intend to and can pay us back.

• We may decline any transaction and we will not have any liability if we do.

3 Types of transactions.

Purchases You may make purchases of goods and services with your account. You may make such purchases up to the amount of your available credit limit.

Balance transfers • You may ask to transfer balances you owe to other credit card companies. You may ask for such balance transfers up to the amount of your credit 

limit available for balance transfers. 

• Balance transfers will be charged the balance transfer fee listed in the Schedule. This fee will be added to the Balance Category we select. 
• You may not transfer balances from other accounts you have with us or our related companies. 
• If you ask for a balance transfer and we do not approve the full amount, we may either pay only part of it or decline it. 
• Please consider the following when asking for a balance transfer: 

(a)  To protect your rights, you should not transfer any amount that you dispute.
(b)  Continue to make all payments due on the other accounts until you receive notice from them that they have been paid in full.
(c)  You are still responsible for your other accounts according to their terms.
(d)  There is no interest-free (grace) period for balance transfers.

promotional period and APR. A balance transfer fee will be charged for each such extension.

Cash advances and cash 
equivalent transactions

You may ask for cash advances and cash equivalent transactions. You may ask for such transactions up to the amount of your credit limit

your account balance exceed your credit limit.

• If your account balance exceeds your credit limit, you agree to immediately pay the amount needed to reduce the balance to your credit limit.

• To protect you and us from fraud, risk, loss, or unauthorized charges, we may limit or delay the availability of credit on your account.

5  Balance Categories.

We group transactions into one of four main Balance Categories listed below.

“Purchases”

These are from purchases of goods and services you make with your account.

“Balance Transfers”

These are from balance transfers you make with your account. Each balance transfer may be kept track of separately on your statement and may be treated as 
its own Balance Category.

“Cash Advances”

These are from cash advances and cash equivalent transactions you make with your account.

“Special Offers”

These are from your use of the account to take advantage of special, introductory, or promotional offers we make available to you at times. Each such 
transaction may be kept track of separately on your statement and may be treated as its own Balance Category.

6  What you will see on your statement.

• We will send you a statement for each billing cycle where you have a balance on your account.

• Billing cycles are mainly monthly periods of time. Each billing cycle will have about the same number of days. Your first billing cycle may be shorter or longer than 

your other billing cycles.

• Each statement will show:

(a)  The statement closing date;
(b)  The number of days in that billing cycle; 
(c)  New transactions, fees, and interest charges;
(d)  The total outstanding balance (listed as the “New Balance”);
(e)  The minimum payment due; and
(f)  The payment due date. 

Your payment due date for each statement will be the same day each month (for example, the 12th of every month).

• Please review each statement and notify us of any errors right away. If we do not receive timely notice from you of any possible errors, all statement information 

will be deemed accurate and your obligation to pay. Please see the “Billing Rights” section.

7  Making payments.

• You are responsible for paying back all the money we loan to you on the account. If this is a joint account, you are each responsible for the entire amount owed.

• You promise to pay all amounts due on your account including interest and fees.

• You may pay all or part of your account balance at any time. You must at least pay the minimum payment shown on each statement by its due date.

• The minimum payment listed on each statement will be calculated as listed in the Schedule.

• Payments must be made in U.S. dollars and through a U.S. bank. You agree to follow the payment requirements listed on each statement (for example, the time by when 
we need to receive payment and where your payment needs to be sent). If we accept a payment that is not in U.S. dollars or not through a U.S. bank, you agree to pay 
any extra fees or costs. We may accept payments that are marked “payment in full” or with similar markings without losing our right to receive payment in full. Partial 
payments offered in full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be sent to the address listed on your statement for notifying us of billing errors.

• Each payment you make will be generally applied to your account as follows: (a) the minimum payment amount will be applied to balances with the lowest 

APRs before balances with higher APRs; and (b) any amount you pay in excess of the minimum payment will be applied to balances with the highest APRs before 
balances with lower APRs. Until a payment clears, you may not be able to access the full amount of your credit limit.

• We will promptly apply other credits to your account. For example, such credits may include a credit for return of merchandise. These other credits will be applied to 

the Balance Category we select.

8 Interest rates (APRs) and how we calculate them.

Where to find them.

The APRs (and their daily periodic rates) in effect on your account are listed in the Schedule.

How we calculate 
variable APRs.

Each variable APR is determined by adding the margin to the Index as listed in the Schedule. An increase in the Index will increase a variable APR 
(and its daily periodic rate). An increase in a variable APR may increase the minimum payment due and interest charged on your account.

How we calculate 
daily periodic rates.

To determine the daily periodic rate for an APR, we divide the APR by 365 (366 in leap years).

Penalty rates. We will not charge penalty rates or penalty APRs on your account. For example, if you make a late payment, your APR will not increase because you paid late.

9 Interest charges.

Interest charges.

Interest will be charged on your account based on the APRs and outstanding balances for each Balance Category. However, interest will not be 
charged on any outstanding balance that is subject to an interest-free (grace) period. Interest will be calculated separately for each Balance Category 
and will begin to accrue on the transaction date unless subject to an interest-free (grace) period.

Interest-free (grace) 
period.

To avoid being charged interest on new purchases, you must pay your entire statement balance (including all special offer, promotional, and 
introductory balances) by the due date each month. You will not be charged interest for new purchases if you (a) pay your entire outstanding balance 
(the “New Balance”) listed on your current statement in full by its due date; and (b) paid your entire outstanding balance (the “New Balance”) listed 
on your previous statement in full by its due date (or your previous statement had a zero or credit balance). This interest-free (grace) period applies 
only to purchases and does not apply to balance transfers, cash advances, or special offers.

Balance calculations 
and interest charges.

To determine interest charges on your account and the balances subject to interest, we use a method called “Average Daily Balance (including 
new purchases)”. This method calculates balances for each Balance Category as listed below.
 A. We first calculate the outstanding ending balance for each day in a billing cycle for each Balance Category.

1. Start with the beginning balance. (This is the ending balance of the previous day plus an amount equal to the previous day’s ending balance

multiplied by the daily periodic rate for that Balance Category.)

2. Add new transactions and fees.
3. Subtract payments, credits, or credit adjustments.
4. Which equals the ending balance for that day.

 B. We next calculate the average daily balance for each Balance Category. To do that, we add all your daily ending balances for each Balance

Category for a billing cycle and then divide it by the number of days in the billing cycle.

 C. We next multiply your average daily balance for each Balance Category by its daily periodic rate. After that, we multiply that result by the 

number of days in the billing cycle. This will be the interest charge for that Balance Category except for minor differences due to rounding.

For purposes of these calculations, we treat credit balances as a zero balance. This Agreement results in the daily compounding of interest, 
finance charges, and fees.

How this information 
will appear on 
statements.

On your statement in the “Charge Summary” section, (a) the average daily balance for each Balance Category will be listed under the “Balance 
Subject to Interest Rate” column; and (b) the interest charges for each Balance Category will be listed under the “Interest Charge” column. All of the 
interest charges will be totaled on your statement and listed as the “Total Interest”.

Minimum Interest 
Charge.

If your account is subject to interest charges in a billing cycle and those interest charges are less than the Minimum Interest Charge listed in the Schedule, 
you will be charged the Minimum Interest Charge. Under law, the Minimum Interest Charge is treated as a fee. If the Minimum Interest Charge is 
charged, all the below will apply: 
(a) It will appear under the “Fees” section of your statement.
(b) We will add it to the Balance Category we select.
(c) You will not be charged other interest charges for that statement.

regulations currently provide that the conversion rate may be either (1) a wholesale market rate; or (2) a government-mandated rate. Visa® and Mastercard® currently use

Arbitration 
Provision (this 
“provision”).
(continued)

• The Arbitrator must be impartial and neutral. The Arbitrator must also be either a lawyer with at least ten years of experience or a retired judge.
• For arbitrations with an Administrator, all of the below will apply:
°  Arbitrations shall be conducted according to the Rules;
°  The Administrator will provide a listing of possible persons to hear and decide the arbitration; and
°  The person(s) you and we mutually agree upon from that listing will be the Arbitrator.

• For arbitrations without an Administrator, all of the below will apply:

°  Arbitrations shall be conducted according to the AAA Rules;
°  The Arbitrator shall take the place of AAA in the AAA Rules; and
°  The person(s) you and we mutually agree upon will be the Arbitrator.

• You or we may choose to have an arbitration hearing. Any hearing will take place in the federal judicial district where you live when the 

arbitration is filed. You and we may also agree upon a different location.

• The Arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages.
• The decision of the Arbitrator will be final and binding. Any final decision of the Arbitrator is subject to judicial review only as set forth by the 
Federal Arbitration Act. The Arbitrator shall issue a written decision. Judgment upon an award of the Arbitrator may be entered in any court 
with jurisdiction.

• Any dispute as to whether a claim or dispute is a Claim shall be resolved solely by the Arbitrator except:

°  As noted below for Class Proceedings; and
°  A court will decide whether a Claim is an Ordinary Claim.

Proceedings are allowed, those proceedings shall be conducted only in a court of competent jurisdiction. The claims of other persons who 
may (or may not) have similar claims may not be consolidated with any Claim. No arbitration will be consolidated with any other arbitration 
proceeding without the consent of all parties. The only Claims that may be joined under this provision are (1) those brought by us and Our 
Related Parties against you and Your Related Parties; or (2) those brought by you and Your Related Parties against us and Our Related Parties.

• If you file a good faith individual arbitration under this provision, we will reimburse you the initial filing fee up to $350. All other fees will

19  Billing Rights.

We want to outline your billing rights if you have an item you want to dispute on any statement or if you are dissatisfied with any purchases made with your account:
YOUR BILLING RIGHTS
KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.  

What To Do If You Find a Mistake on Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:

First National Bank of Omaha
P.O. Box 3696
Omaha, NE 68103-0696
In your letter, give us the following information:

• Account information: Your name and account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.

You must contact us:

• Within 60 days after we send you the first statement on which the error or problem appeared.
• At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors 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:

• We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
• The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest 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 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 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:

First National Bank of Omaha 
P.O. Box 3696 
Omaha, NE  68103-0696 

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.

20  Liability for unauthorized use.

If you notice the loss or theft of your credit card or a possible unauthorized use of your card, you should write to us immediately at 

P.O. Box 3696 
Omaha, NE 68103-0696 

or call us at 1-800-688-7070. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us. You may, however, be liable for unauthorized use that 
occurs before your notice to us. In any case, your liability will not exceed $50.

How We Will Calculate Your Balance:  We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases)".  See your Cardmember 
Agreement for more details. 

Index And When It Is Determined:  We use the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal  on the last 
day the rate is published in each calendar month (the determination date).  The Index will be effective for the entire billing cycle that ends in the 
second month after the determination date.  For example, if your billing cycle ends in July, we will use the Index determined on the last day the rate 
is published in The Wall Street Journal  in May.

APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers:  To determine the variable APR for purchases and balance transfers, we add a margin of 5.25% to 
24.99% to the Index (Prime Rate).

APR for Cash Advances:  To determine the variable APR for cash advances, we add a margin of 16.74% to 21.99% to the Index (Prime Rate).
