MISSION FEDERAL CREDIT UNION AGREEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES 

Mastercard® Credit Card Cardholder Agreement 

The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to all Mastercard Credit Cards issued by Mission Federal Credit Union. 
In this Agreement, the words “Credit Union”, “us”, “we”, “our”, and “Mission Fed” mean Mission Federal Credit Union.  The 
words “you”, “your”, “signer”, and “owner” mean each and all of those issued a Mastercard Credit Card.  For all intents and 
purposes of this Agreement, “Card” refers to the Mastercard Credit Card or any combination of your Card, Card number, Card 
security data and Personal Identification Number (PIN). The words “Account” and “Credit Line” mean your Mission Fed Credit 
Card Loan. This Agreement governs the use of Cards issued to you and your signers. The agreements, disclosures, rules and 
regulations applicable to your Account including other agreements you have with Mission Fed, now or in the future, remain in 
effect and are made a part of this Agreement by reference unless specifically modified.  In some circumstances, we are required 
by law to notify you of changes to this Agreement, and at other times notification may not be required.  If we are required by law 
to notify you about a change that you have a legal right to reject, we will provide you with instructions as to how you may reject 
such changes.  If you do not want to use your Card, please destroy the Card and notify us immediately. 

1. USING  YOUR  CARD  -  Use  of  your  Card  constitutes  acknowledgement  of  receipt  and  acceptance  of  the  terms  of  this
Agreement. You may use your Card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept your Card. You may  also
obtain cash advances from Mission Fed, other financial institutions that accept Cards, some merchants and select automated
teller machines (ATMs).  To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use a PIN that may be issued for use with your
Card.  You are prohibited from using your Card to participate in any type of Internet gambling or for any unlawful purpose
or transaction.  Mission Fed is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your Card.
2. RESPONSIBILITY - You are responsible for all transactions (purchases, balance transfers, convenience checks and cash
advances), including associated fees and other charges, made to your Account by you or anyone you authorize to use your
Account. If, for any reason, we decide to terminate your Card privileges or Credit Line, you remain liable for all amounts
owed at that time, plus all future interest charges and fees.

3. USE OF ACCOUNT BY OTHERS - If you permit another person to use your account, that person is an Authorized User.
It  is  your  responsibility  to  pay  for  all  transactions  made  by  that  person  including  any  and  all  interest  charges  and  fees
imposed  on  those  transactions,  even  if  the  amount  of  the  actual  use  exceeds  your  permission,  to  the  extent  allowed  by
applicable law.  You may request a Card for each Authorized User and you must notify us immediately if you want to cancel
an Authorized User’s access to your Account.  If you cancel an Authorized User’s access, we may close this Account and
issue a new Account and Cards.  It is your responsibility to collect all Cards, and other means of access from the Authorized
User, and destroy them or return them to us.

4. CONVENIENCE  CHECKS  -  Periodically,  Mission  Fed  may  supply  you  with  personalized  convenience  checks,
“Check(s)”, which you may use to make purchases or pay other bills.  Use of these Checks will be treated as a cash advance
and subject to associated transaction fees.  The person whose name appears on the Check must sign it.  We may return your
Check(s)  unpaid  when  available  credit  in  your  Account  is  insufficient  to  cover  the  amount  of  the  Check(s),  when  your
Account is in default, or when your Credit Line has been suspended.  You may not use Checks to make payments on your
Account.  You may not write a postdated Check.  A stop payment may be requested on any UNPAID convenience check.
All stop payment requests must be authorized in writing in order for the stop payment to remain valid for 12 months.  Any
stop payment request made by telephone will be valid for 14 calendar days until a written form is received.  A stop payment
processing fee will be charged.  There will also be a processing fee for canceling a stop payment request, and we require the
cancellation order in writing.  For current fees please refer to the Consumer Fee Schedule.

5. CREDIT LIMIT- Your credit limit will be established based on your credit worthiness, and may increase or decrease from
time to time without prior notification to you.  Your periodic statement will show the amount of credit available as of the
statement date. You are not permitted to exceed your credit limit.  If your total new balance exceeds your credit limit, you
may be required to immediately pay the excess amount.
PERSONAL  IDENTIFICATION  NUMBER  (PIN)  -  A  PIN  acts  as  your  signature  when  obtaining  cash  advances  at
participating  ATMs  and  for  other  point-of-sale (POS)  transactions.    Disclosing your  PIN constitutes  authorization  for  use
and you remain liable for any and all subsequent transactions.  Your PIN should be memorized.  DO NOT keep your PIN on
or with your Card, or any other place on your person such as checkbook, wallet or purse.  If you forget your PIN, you may
request a new one or you can choose your own PIN by visiting any Mission Fed branch.  Your selected PIN should not be a
number that would be found in your wallet or purse, i.e. birth date, address, Social Security number, etc.

7. DAILY PERIODIC RATE - The daily periodic rate is determined by dividing the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) by 365

days.

8. AVERAGE  DAILY  BALANCE  –  To  determine  the  “Average  Daily  Balance,”  we  take  the  beginning  balance  on  your
account  each  day,  add  any  new  advances/purchases/fees,  and  subtract  any  payments  or  credits  and  any  unpaid  fees  and
finance charges. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the
total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the “Average Daily Balance.”

9.

INTEREST  CHARGES/BALANCE  SUBJECT  TO  INTEREST  CHARGE  -  We  figure  the  interest  charges  on  your
account by applying the periodic rate to the ‘average daily balance. Interest Charges will be assessed on your Account for
each type of balance (purchases, balance transfers, convenience checks and cash advances). If you receive a statement that
includes new purchases, and we receive a payment by the payment due date for that statement, we will not charge interest on
any portion of the new purchases on the following statement if the statement shows we received payment of the previous
balance or the previous balance was zero.  Interest charges will accrue on balance transfers, convenience checks and cash
advances from the date they post to your Account. If you pay the new balance stated on your previous statement in full by
the payment due date, no interest will be charged during the current billing cycle for cash advances, balance transfers and
convenience checks that posted in previous billing cycles.  For more information concerning how your interest charges are
calculated, please contact us at 800.500.6328.

10. CASH ADVANCES/BALANCE TRANSFER/CONVENIENCE CHECKS - In addition to interest charges, a transaction
fee will be imposed by Mission Fed for each transaction.  Refer to the current Consumer Fee Schedule for the amount of the
fee.

11. PAYMENTS - Each month you must pay at least the minimum payment shown on your statement by the due date on the
statement.  You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment or pay the new balance in full.  If you make
additional payments, you are still required to make at least the minimum payment each month your Account has a balance
(other than a credit balance).  The minimum payment is 3% of your new balance, or $25.00, whichever is greater, or the
entire  amount  of  your  new  balance  if  it  is  less  than  $25.00.    If  you  make  a  payment  in  excess  of  the  required  minimum
periodic payment, the excess amount will be applied to balances in descending order, from the highest to the lowest APR.
12. FEES AND CHARGES - Additional fees and charges applicable to your Card are contained in the current Consumer Fee

Schedule and are subject to change.

13. ANNUAL  FEE  (if  applicable)  –  The  initial  annual  fee  will  be  assessed  on  the  first  statement  closing  date  after  Account

opening.  The annual fee will then be assessed every 12 months thereafter.

14. SECURITY INTEREST - If you have a share secured Account, you may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically
pledged to secure your Account until Mission Fed agrees to release all or part of the pledged amount.  Your Account is also
secured by all other shares you have in individual or joint Mission Fed accounts, as allowed by law.  If you are delinquent or
in  default,  we  may  apply  funds  in your  shares to your  Account.   Refer  to  Security  Interest/Statutory Lien  in  the Account
Agreement and Disclosures.

15. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND CLAIMS – The Mandatory Arbitration Agreement set forth in the
Account Agreement and Disclosures applies to this account and is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in full
herein.

16. DEFAULT/COLLECTION/ATTORNEY FEES - You will be in default of and understand that all available credit under
this Agreement may be terminated if:  (1) you do not make periodic payments as required by this Agreement; (2) you do not
keep any promise made in this Agreement or any other agreement with Mission Fed; (3) any information that you give us to
obtain an advance is false; (4) any third party attempts by legal process to take any property belonging to you; (5) you die,
become insolvent or a party to any bankruptcy proceedings; or (6) as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  If you are in
default, we reserve the right to decline any further advances and/or charge privileges to you and to declare all sums owed
under this Agreement immediately due and payable.  We may accept late payments or partial payments without waiving any
rights under this Agreement.  If you are in default and we are required to take legal action to collect amounts due, we may
add to your unpaid balance collection  costs, attorneys’ fees, and court costs, all of which you are required to pay.  These
provisions apply to bankruptcy appeals and post-judgment proceedings.

17. LIABILITY  –  LOST/STOLEN  CARD  NOTIFICATION  -  You  will  not  be  liable  for  unauthorized  transactions  using
your  Card  if you  promptly  report  the loss  or  theft  to  us.     If  the  loss  or  theft  of your card is  not  reported  promptly, your
liability  is  the  lesser  of  $50  or  the  amount  of  unauthorized  use  before  notification  to  us.    You  will  not  be  liable  for
unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us of loss, theft, or possible unauthorized use of your Card.  You may be liable
for  the  unauthorized  use  of  your  Card  under  certain  circumstances.    If  you  furnish  your  Card  or  Card  number  and  grant
authority to make purchases or transfers to a person (such as family member, friend or co-worker) who exceeds the authority
given, this will not be considered unauthorized use and you will be fully liable for the transactions unless you have notified
us that purchases or transfers by that person are no longer authorized.
To report a lost or stolen card, call Mission Fed immediately at 800.500.6328.  Once you have contacted Mission Fed
via  phone, you have  the  option  to  follow  up  via  mail  at Mission  Federal  Credit  Union,  Card  Services  Department,
P.O. Box 919023, San Diego, CA 92191-9023.

18. TERMINATING  YOUR  ACCOUNT  -  Your  account  may  be  terminated  by  you  or  Mission  Fed  at  any  time,  however,
such termination will not affect your obligation to pay the Account balance plus interest charges and fees on your unpaid
balance that are charged after account termination.  You are also responsible for all transactions made to your Account after
termination, unless the transactions were unauthorized. Mission Fed has the right to require you to pay your full Account
balance at any time after your Account is terminated, regardless of whether it is terminated by you or Mission Fed.  If this is
a Joint Account, the Joint Accounts section also applies to termination of this Account.

19. CREDIT REVIEW, REPORTING AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION – Mission Fed shall investigate your credit
history when opening your Account, and may review your credit worthiness at any time.  Based on this information we have
the  right  to  prohibit  future  advances  or  reduce  your  Credit  Line.    Mission  Fed  may  disclose  information  regarding  your

CC-D-12/17 Mastercard® Credit Card Cardholder Agreement Page 2 of 5

Account to consumer reporting agencies and creditors who inquire about your credit history with Mission Fed; however, we 
are not obligated to release any information unless required by law.  A negative consumer report may be submitted if you 
fail  to  fulfill  the  terms  of  your  credit  obligations,  your  Account  is  closed  for  negative  activity,  or  a  loss  is  sustained  by 
Mission Fed which was caused by an Account owner or an authorized signer. 

20. RETURNS  AND  ADJUSTMENTS  -  Merchants  and  others  who  honor  your  Card  may  give  you  credit  for  returns  or 
adjustments, by sending Mission Fed a credit which will be posted to your Account.  If your credits and payments exceed 
what you owe Mission Fed, the amount will be applied against future advances.  If the credit balance is $1 or more, it will be 
refunded upon your written request or may be transferred to an open share account after forty-five (45) days.  In the event 
there is no open share, we may send you a check.

21. ADDITIONAL  BENEFITS/CARD  ENHANCEMENTS  -  From  time  to  time,  we  may  offer  you  additional  services 
through  a  third-party  provider.    These  services  and  benefits  contain  certain  exclusions  and  limitations.    It  is  your 
responsibility  to review the details of these offers prior to acceptance and additional  fees may  apply.  Mission Fed is not 
obligated to offer any third party services and may withdraw or change them at any time.

22. AUTOMATIC BILLING UPDATER - Mission Fed participates in Mastercard’s Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) 

program, where updated card information is provided to participating merchants under certain conditions.  To learn more 
about the ABU program or how to opt out, please visit MissionFed.com/ABU.

23. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS - Purchases and cash advances made in foreign countries and in foreign currencies will be 
billed to you in U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange between the transaction currency and the billing currency. The rate 
will be (i) a rate selected by Mastercard from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable 
central processing date, which may  vary  from the rate Mastercard itself receives, or (ii) the government-mandated rate  in 
effect for the applicable central processing date, in each instance, plus or minus any adjustment determined by Mission Fed. 
In addition, you will be charged a Foreign Transaction Fee on the amount of the purchase or cash advance.  Please refer to 
the current Consumer Fee Schedule for applicable fees.

24. JOINT  ACCOUNTS  -  If  this  is  a  joint  Account  each  owner  will  be  individually  and  jointly  liable  for  payment  of  all 
amounts  owed  under  this  Agreement.    Mission  Fed  may  require  any  owner  to  repay  the  entire  amount  owed  under  this 
Agreement, regardless of who conducted the transactions.  Each owner authorizes the other(s) to individually transact and 
will be liable for the individual actions of each other.  Any  owner may terminate the Account and the termination will be 
effective as to all owners.

25. EFFECT  OF  AGREEMENT  -  The  terms  of  this  Agreement are  binding  and  applicable  to  all  Account  transactions  and 

supersede receipts and/or other documents issued through use of your Card which may contain different terms.

26. WAIVERS AND SEVERABILITY - We may waive or decline to enforce any of our rights under this Agreement without 
affecting any of our remaining rights.  Should any  provision of this Agreement be deemed invalid or unenforceable, such 
determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

27. STATEMENTS  AND  NOTICES  -  Statements and  notices,  including  electronic  statements  and  notices,  provided  to  any 
Account owner will be considered notice to all Account owners.  For more information on electronic statements and notices

28. FINAL  EXPRESSION  -  Written  Agreements  applicable  to  your  Account  may  not  be  contradicted  by  evidence  of  any 

alleged oral agreement.

29. GOVERNING LAW - This Agreement, your Account, as well as all applicable rights and duties and your rights and duties, 
will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with federal law to the fullest extent possible.  Where federal law does not 
apply, such obligations will be governed by California law, regardless of where you live or use your Card.  This Agreement 
is made in California.  All credit will be extended from California and all repayment must be made in California.  The venue 
for disputes shall be in San Diego County, California.

CA 92191-9023.  You may also contact us via secure email on -Mission Fed Online Banking.  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. You must contact us within 
60 days after the error appeared on your statement, at least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you 
want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.  In your written notification, give us the following information: 

(1) Your name and account number
(2) The dollar amount of the suspected error
(3)

If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake

When we receive your notice we will, within 30 days of receiving your written notice, tell you that we received your notice. We 
will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.  Within 90 days of receiving your notice, 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. Additionally, 

(1) The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
(2) While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
(3) We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.

After we finish our investigation if we determine a mistake was made, 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. 

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 is 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: Mission Federal Credit 
Union, Card Services Department, P.O. Box 919023, San Diego, CA 92191-9023 or via secure email on -Mission Fed Online 
Banking.  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.
