VARIABLE RATE CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURES  May 1, 2021   3. Maximum Credit Limit. Your Maximum Credit Limit will appear on the folder in which you receive your Card 
and on your monthly statement. The credit limit is based o n your creditworthiness and our underwriting standards. At 
our discretion, we may change your credit limit at any time, and may provide separate limits for purchases and for 
cash advances. We will notify you if we do, either by mail or through your monthly  billing statement. You may request 
a change to your credit limit by contacting the Credit Union by telephone or mail. Your continued use of the card will 
show your agreement to any such increase. If you object to an increase in your credit limit, you must  notify the Credit 
Union in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, your credit limit will be reduced to its prior limit; however, you will be 
responsible to pay any amounts by which you have exceeded the reduced limit. You agree to pay any amounts you 
owe t hat exceed your maximum credit balance upon demand. You agree we are not obligated to extend to you credit 
for any amount that would cause your outstanding balance to exceed your Maximum Credit Limit, or for any amount 
if your outstanding balance already e xceeds your Maximum Credit Limit. Any increase in your Maximum Credit Limit 
requested by you will require you to make a new application for our approval. In assessing your credit limit under the 
provisions in this Section (either at our discretion or upon request): (a) we may and you authorize us to review your 
credit history, including consumer credit reports; (b) you authorize us to have this review made by third parties to 
determine whether you meet the criteria we have set for such an increase; and (c) this process shall not be pre - 
screening under the Fair Credit Reporting Act or other applicable laws or regulations based on our existing 
relationship  and this Agreement.   
  
ATM and Over -the-Counter  Cash  Advance  Limits.  Advances  at authorized  ATM's are limited to a total of $500.00  during 
any 24 -hour period. Over -the Counter cash advances are limited to three per day and based on your credit  limit.   
4. Finance Charges.  You agree to pay the FINANCE CHARGE on your account. A FINANCE CHARGE computed 
on a mont hly periodic rate ("MPR") will begin to accrue for new Purchases, if you do not pay the New Balance in full 
within 25 days after the billing date of the statement on which the new Purchases first appear according to the Grace 
Period  above.  For Cash  Advance(s)  and Balance  Transfer(s),  a FINANCE  CHARGE  computed  on a monthly  periodic 
rate ("MPR") will begin to accrue on the transaction date. For purchases (except as provided above), a FINANCE 
CHARGE computed on an MPR will begin to accrue on the transac tion date or the first day of the billing cycle, 
whichever  is later.  FINANCE  CHARGES  on Cash  Advance(s),  Balance  Transfer(s)  and Purchases  will continue  to be 
imposed until you have paid any outstanding balance in full. The Credit Union calculates the FINA NCE CHARGE as 
follows:  
a. The FINANCE CHARGE will be figured by applying the monthly periodic rate to the average daily 
balance of Purchases, Balance transfers, and Cash Advances. Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 
determined  based  on your  creditworthiness  and will be provided  to you separately  either  in writing  or 
electronically at the time your credit card is  approved.  
 
Platinum Rewards Card  Platinum Cash Rewards Card  
APR = Prime + Margin  APR = Prime + Margin  
Prime Rate + 6.99%  Prime Rate + 7.99%  
Prime  Rate + 8.99%  Prime Rate + 9.99%  
Prime Rate + 10.99%  Prime Rate + 11.99%  
Prime Rate + 14.49%  Prime Rate + 14.49%  
RATES FOR PU RCHASES AND BALANCE TRANSFERS ARE VARIABLE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE . 
Rates for Cash Advances are not variable. Maximum APR is 18%. Your ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 
(APR) for Purchases and Balance Transfers will be calculated by adding a margin from above to the Prime 
rate as correctly published in the Wall Street Journal as of the Wednesday immediately preceding the bil ling 
cycle. The Credit Union may adjust the rate once each month effective the first day of the billing cycle. APR 
changes will reflect on the following month�s statement.  
b. To get the total average  daily balance  on your Account,  we take the beginning  balanc e of your Account  each 
day, add any new Purchases and Cash Advances, unpaid Finance Charges, current late payment fees, and  
other fees, and subtract any payments or credits. This is your daily balance. Then we add up all the daily 
balances for the billing cycle and divide that total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives you 
the average daily balance. This determines the balance subject to the FINANCE  CHARGE.  
 
5. Convenience Checks. Any individual cardholder or authorized user can use your Convenience Checks to 
purchase goods and services or to obtain cash up to the amount of your available credit limit. Credit Union will treat 
Convenience Checks as Cash Advances and will charge them against your credit limit. Credit Union may decline to 
honor a Convenience Check if you are over your credit limit, you are in default, your account privileges have been 
canceled, or your Card has expired. If we decline to honor a Convenience Check, Credit  Union may charge you a 
fee, which the Credit Union will add to your account balance. Convenience Checks may be used only by the person 
whose name is printed on them. You may not use Convenience Checks to pay any amount you owe the Credit Union 
under this or any other credit agreement with the Credit Union. Credit Union will not certify any Convenience  Checks, 
nor will the Credit Union return paid Convenience Checks to you. It is in the Credit Union's sole discretion to issue 
Convenience Checks to any  membe r.  South Carolina Federal Credit Union  
VARIABLE RATE CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURES  May 1, 2021   Stopping payment of a Convenience Check. You may ask us to stop payment of a convenience check by calling 
us at (800) 845 -0432 . You may be charged a stop payment fee/a stop payment fee may be added to your account 
balance. Your stop paymen t request will be effective permanently. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to 
stop payment on your convenience check. However, you agree that convenience checks are credit transactions; and 
that we will not be responsible in any way if the conven ience check that you have requested us to stop payment on is 
cashed or otherwise presented for payment and, using commercially reasonable efforts, we are unable to stop 
payment. You agree that the UCC does not apply to a convenience check.  
6. Additional Charges for Transactions in a Foreign Currency and "Cross -Border" Transactions. 
Currency Conversion Fee: If you effect or authorize a transaction with your access device in a currency other than 
US Dollars,  even if you are physically located wit hin the United States when you effect or authorize the transaction,  
MasterCard will convert the charge into a US Dollar amount. The MasterCard currency conversion procedure 
includes use of either a government mandated exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange  rate selected by 
MasterCard, as applicable. The exchange rate MasterCard uses will be a rate in effect on the day the transaction is 
processed. This rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the purchase or the date the transaction was 
posted  to your account. A Currency Conversion Fee of up to 1% will be applied to transactions that are converted 
from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars. Cross -Border Transaction Fee: In addition, MasterCard charges us a 
Cross -Border  Assessment  up to 1% on each  transaction  on all cross -border  transactions  regardless  of whether  there 
is a currency conversion. For purposes of this Section, "cross -border transaction" shall include both (a) transactions 
initiated in a foreign country, which are subsequently settled in the United States, and (b) transactions initiated in the 
United States but are ultimately settled in a country outside of the United States. The Credit Union will assess these 
fees to you to reimburse it for the fee it is required to pay for each of you r transactions subject to these terms. The 
Cross -Border Transaction fee(s) will be shown separately on your periodic billing statement(s). The Currency 
Conversion  Fee, if it applies  to the transaction,  will be included  in the transaction  amount  posted  on your statement.  
7. Merchant Disputes . The Credit Union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution  to 
honor your Card except as set forth in the "Your Rights if You Are Dissatisfied With your Credit Card Purchases" 
Section  set forth at the end of this Agreement.  
8. Illegal Transactions. You warrant and agree that your Credit Card, other access device or any related 
account  will not be used  to make  or facilitate  any illegal  transaction(s)  as determined  by applicable  law; and 
that any such use, including any such authorized use, will constitute an event of default under this 
Agreement. Certain federal and/or state laws or Card Service Providers� Rules may limit or prohibit certain 
transactions such as (but not limited to) t hose coded as possible gambling transactions. The Credit Union 
may decline to accept, process or pay any transaction that we believe to be illegal or unenforceable 
(regarding your obligation to pay us or otherwise) under applicable law; or which is otherwi se limited or 
prohibited, including but not limited to any transaction involving or relating to any gambling activity. Such 
prohibition or limitations may affect some otherwise proper or allowable transactions such as charges 
incurred at a hotel -casino. You understand and agree such limitations/prohibitions are not within the Credit 
Union�s control and that the Credit Union will not have any liability, responsibility or culpability whatsoever 
for any such use by you or any authorized user(s); or for declini ng to accept, process, or pay any such 
transaction. You further agree to indemnify and hold the Credit Union harmless from any suits, liability, 
damages or adverse action of any kind that results directly or indirectly from any such use of your account 
and/or access  devices . 
9. Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Use and Lost or Stolen Cards or 
Convenience Checks. If your Card or Convenience Checks are lost or stolen, or if you suspect someone used or 
may use them without your permission, you mu st notify the Credit Union at once by calling 1 -855-325-0904 or writing 
Credit  Card  Services -PO Box 182477 -Columbus,  OH 43272 -4935.  If notice  is given  orally,  you will promptly  confirm  it 
in writing. The Credit Union may require you to provide us certain i nformation in writing to help us investigate any 
unauthorized use. Further, you agree to cooperate and assist us or any government or law enforcement agent or 
agency in investigating, collecting or pursuing any other rights (civil and criminal) relating to  any unauthorized use. In 
this regard, you agree to file an appropriate police report when asked to do so. Do not use the Card or the 
Convenience Checks after you have notified the Credit Union, even if you find them or have them returned to  you. 
You are l iable for all transactions that you authorize.

Devices for transactions if the following conditions are met: (1) you have used reasonable care in protecting your 
card from loss or theft; and (2) you have promptly reported to your financial institution when you knew that your 
Mastercard was lost or stolen.

address provided. You agree to notify us promptly of any change of your e -mail address. If you have not notified us 
of any change of your e -mail address, you agree that your failure to pr ovide us with a valid e -mail address is the lack 
of ordinary care on your part. If we become aware that you are not receiving e -mail, we may restrict your access to 
these services until you provide us with the correct e -mail address and you may be converte d to paper  documents.  
12. Minimum Payment Due. You can pay off your account balance in full each month or you can pay in monthly

New Balance (roun ded to the nearest whole dollar) or $10.00, whichever is greater at the end of each statement 
period. If the New Balance shown on your periodic statement is $10.00 or less, you agree to pay this amount. Unless 
the Credit  Union  takes  other  action  as a resul t of a default  under  this Agreement,  the Minimum  Payment  Due will also 
include any amount that is past due and any amount by which your new balance exceeds your credit limit. Payments 
and credits will be applied first to pay billed but unpaid finance charg es; late charges, and other fees or charges

could cause you to exceed your credit limit. Please refer to the section on Minimum Payment Due for information about

explanations  are disclosed on the Credit Card Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.

c. Returned Payment or Insufficient Funds Fee. Credit  Union will charge your account a fee if your payment 
by any method, including check, electronic transfer, home banking transaction or otherwise, is not honored, or

account balance, or collected from you on  demand.  
d. Charge for Copies, Research and Card Replacement. If you ask for a copy of any document, such as  a 
sales draft, Convenience Check, or billing statement, a charge may be imposed for the time it  takes to 
research and locate the document. However, no charge will be imposed in connection with any actual or 
asserted billing error. We may charge a fee to replace a  card.  
e. Balance  Transfer  Fee. This fee may be added  to your account balance, or collected  from you on  
demand.  
14. Promotional Rate Finance Charges. From time to time and in our sole discretion we may offer a special 
rate applicable to certain transactions such as particular purchases (as defined by us), balance transfers, or cash 
advances. Applicable terms and conditions will be disclosed at the time any such promotion is offered, and are 
incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The promotional rate will apply only to the transactions and for the 
period  of time set forth in any such  offer from us. Existing  balances  and new purchases  or advances  not expressly 
subject  to any such  promotion  will remain  governed  by the terms  and conditions  of this Agreement.  In addition,  the 
terms and conditions of this Agreement will govern your obligation s regarding any unpaid balance or transactions 
that are made subject to any such promotional offer, that are not fully paid within the time  period  set forth in such 
promotional offer.  
15. Returns, Adjustments, Credit Balances. Merchants and others who honor your Card may give credit for 
returns or adjustments, and they will do so by sending the Credit Union a credit transaction, which will be posted to 
your Account. If your credits and payments exceed what you owe the Credit Union, the amount will be applied 
against future purchases and cash advances. If the credit balance amount is $1.00 or more, it will be refunded  upon 
your written request or automatically after six months by transferring the amount to your share savings account or 
mailing a check (only upo n request) payable to the order of any cardholder to the statement  mailing  address.

agreements with us) extended to you or anyone else using any Card issued for your account, unless the use of such 
Card is by a person other than you, who does not have actual, implied or apparent authority for such use and from 
which you receive no benefit.  Authority includes, but is not limited to, any authorized users permitting another person

collected by us in U.S. dollars.  
Unless otherwis e required by specifically applicable laws, for payments received by mail by 5:00 PM EST, your 
payment will be effective that day; and for payments made in any other manner, including in person, your payment is 
effective the date received.  
 
To protect you and us, the Credit Union, in its sole discretion, may place a temporary freeze on all or part of 
the credit available to you for new purchases or cash advances under this agreement any time the Credit 
Union receives a large payment ($4,800.00 or more) by a ny method. In such cases, the Credit Union may 
freeze your credit line until payment is actually collected or verified.  
17. Automatic  Payment  Option.  If you requested  the Automatic  Payment  Option  in your Application,  all Minimum

payment during certain designated billing cycles ("skip payment period"). If you do not make your minimum  payments 
as provided in this Agreement, during such designated billing cycles, you understand that we will continue to apply 
finance charges to your account. Beginning with the billing cycle following an allowed sk ip payment period, all other 
provisions of this Agreement will  apply.  
19. Default. You will be in default if: (a) you fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date; (b) the 
Credit Union, in its sole discretion, feels insecure (For example: Our go od faith belief that your ability to pay your 
account is impaired; use of your account in any manner or in any way that may expose the Credit Union to a risk of 
loss; etc.); (c) your ability to repay is materially reduced by a change in your employment, by  an increase in your 
obligations, by bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving you, by your death, or (for community property state

prohibited by Gov erning Law, demand immediate payment of your entire Account balance, after giving you any notice 
and opportunity to cure the default if required by applicable law. The Credit Union's sole obligation hereunder with 
regard to determining and declaring an eve nt of default is the exercise of "good faith," based on its subjective 
understanding of applicable facts. We shall also have the right to close your account and terminate access privileges 
where your account is inactive for such periods of time as we may f rom time -to-time determine to be appropriate for 
protecting both our and your  interests.
