cannot disclaim your responsibility for such charges by notifying 
us, and your responsibility continues even though an agreement, 
divorce decree or other court judgment to which we are not a party, 
may direct you or one of the other persons held responsible under 
the Account to pay the Account. Any person using the Card shall be 
jointly responsible with you for the charges made, and if that person 
signs the card, and receives a copy of these Regulations, he or she is 
also responsible for all charges on the Account, including yours.

2. Credit Line: We will establish a maximum credit limit for your 
Account (“Credit Line”) and advise you of its amount. You agree not 
to let the Account balance exceed the Credit Line, but you remain 
responsible for payment if it does. Any Account balance in excess 
of the Credit Line is payable immediately. We reserve the right to 
reduce your Credit Line, from time to time, or to revoke your Card, 
without affecting your obligation to pay all Account balances. The 
Cards remain our property, and if we request, you must recover and 
surrender to us all Cards we issued on your Account.

3. Use of the Card: To make a purchase or cash advance, present 
the Card to an authorized plan member or financial institution and 
sign the sales or cash advance draft that will be imprinted with your 
Card. You may also obtain a cash advance with the Card at certain 
automated terminals. Regular transactions are counted against 
your Credit Line. You will receive a copy of the draft (or machine 
receipt at a terminal at which there is no attendant), which you 
should retain to verify your monthly statement. We reserve the right 
to make a reasonable charge for photostatic or duplicate copies of 
drafts or machine receipts you may request. Your Card may not be 
used for any transaction that is illegal under Federal, State or local 
law. Also, your Card may not be used for any Gambling including 
Internet Gambling.

4. Convenience Checks: We may, from time to time, supply you 
with personalized Convenience Checks that are subject to the 
following conditions. Only the person whose name is printed on a 
Convenience Check may sign it. All Convenience Checks must be 
written in U.S. dollars. We will not certify a Convenience Check. 
We are entitled to return a Convenience Check unpaid if there is 
not enough available credit on your Account to pay for it, if you 
are in default under these Regulations, if your Card or Convenience 
Check has been reported lost or stolen, if your Convenience Check 
is postdated, if your right to use Convenience Checks has been 
cancelled or suspended or if your Account has been closed. In 
addition, we may refuse to honor a Convenience Check whenever 

we would be entitled to dishonor an ordinary check. If we refuse, 
under the terms of these Regulations, to honor a Convenience 
Check issued by you, we may charge your Account a NSF fee. 
Check our website, landmarkcu.com, or a fee schedule in any 
branch for current fee. A Convenience Check cannot be used to 
make a payment on any Landmark Credit Union VISA® Account.

Any Convenience Check that we pay will be posted to your Account 
as a cash advance and will be subject to all the terms in these 
Regulations that apply to cash advances. We shall have no liability 
for any Convenience Check that we return because it was written 
for an amount in excess of your available Credit Line. Convenience 
Checks that you use and we pay will not be returned to you but will 
be identified on your monthly billing statement. The Wisconsin 
Uniform Commercial Code, as well as applicable Landmark Credit 
Union policies and fees, will apply to Convenience Checks as if they 
were checks drawn on a checking account.

5. Pledge Agreement and Issuance fees: As security for the 
payment of all credit extended through your Credit Account, 
you pledge to, and grant, Landmark Credit Union, a security 
interest in all funds now and hereafter deposited in your pledged 
deposit account until your Credit Account is closed and all your 
indebtedness thereunder is fully satisfied. If you exceed your credit 
limit or otherwise default under the terms of your Credit Card 
Agreement, or if your Credit Account is terminated by us or you 
for any reason, we may at any time thereafter and without notice to 
you, apply all or part of the funds in your pledged deposit account 
to the payment and satisfaction of any and all amounts owed on 
your Credit Account, and, in addition, may avail ourselves of any 
other remedies under the terms of your Credit Card Agreement 
or otherwise available under the laws of the state of Wisconsin or 
any other applicable jurisdiction. This pledge agreement shall be 
governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

6. Finance Charge:  Your Account will be subject to a Finance 
Charge during any billing period during which you (a) received, 
or had outstanding, a cash advance; or (b) failed to pay in full the 
previous balance shown on the statement during the first 27 days of 
the statement (the “Grace Period”). 

Your Landmark Secured Visa® Finance Charge is calculated 
by applying the Monthly Periodic Rate, determined as set forth 
in Section 7 of these Regulations, to the “average daily balance” 
of your Account. To get the “average daily balance,” we take 

the beginning balance of the Account each day, reduced by any 
payment you make, credits we apply, and any late payment fee 
due, and increased by any cash advances and, if the previous 
balance was not paid in full during the Grace Period, all new credit 
purchases posted through that date. This gives us the daily balance. 
Then we add all the daily balances for the billing period together 
and divide the total by the number of days in the billing period. 
This gives us the “average daily balance.” All accounts are subject 
to a Minimum Finance Charge of $.50.

You can avoid incurring a Finance Charge on purchases by 
paying the New Balance in full within the Grace Period. However, 
a Finance Charge will be imposed on cash advances from the 
date made (on Convenience Checks from the date cleared), and 
will continue to accrue on any cash advances or Convenience 
Checks until your payment is received. If a minimum payment 
or any portion thereof is past due by more than 60 days, your 
Monthly Periodic Rate will increase to 1.5% (Annual Percentage 
Rate of 23.99%). This Penalty Rate will be effective following 
any notice and waiting period required by law. Your Monthly 
Periodic Rate of 1.5% (Annual Percentage Rate of 23.99%) will 
remain on your Account until your Account has been paid on time 
and with no other event of default for three (3) consecutive billing 
periods after application of the penalty rate.

7. Monthly Payment: Unless there has been no activity on your 
Account since your last statement and your Account shows a zero 
balance, we will mail you a statement for every billing period, 
showing your previous balance, the current transactions on your 
Account, the remaining credit available under your Credit Line, 
the applicable Monthly Periodic Rate, the fees and Finance 
Charge, the new balance, and the minimum payment due. Every 
billing period you must pay at least the minimum payment by its 
due date. You may pay more than the minimum or pay the new 
balance in full, which may reduce or avoid the Finance Charge. 
The minimum payment will be 2.0% of your new balance, or 
$10.00, whichever is greater, or your full new balance if it is less 
than $10.00. We will apply your payment first to the Finance 
Charge then to your unpaid balance in the order transactions were 
posted to your Account. If a different Annual Percentage Rate 
applies to different balances, any payment above the minimum 
payment will be applied to the balance bearing the highest Annual 
Percentage Rate. A minimum payment is required for every 
billing period and any additional amount paid will reduce your 
balance but will not prepay any future minimum payment.

8. Default: You will be in default if (i) your violation of any 
requirement of these Regulations materially impairs the condition, 
value or protection of our right to any collateral securing your 
obligations under these Regulations or your ability to pay the 
obligations due under these Regulations; or (ii) you fail to make 
the minimum payment on or before the due date two times during 
any 12-month period. You will also be in default if your ability 
to repay us or the value or protection of our right in any collateral 
securing your obligations is materially impaired in the event you 
or your spouse die, change marital status, change marital domicile, 
or become the subject of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. If 
you are in default, we have the right to demand immediate payment 
of your full Account balance and commence legal action to recover 
collateral or reduce the claim to a judgment, if you do not cure your 
default within 15 days after we mail you a written default notice.

9. Security Interest: Each purchase and cash advance through 
your Account constitutes a transaction pursuant to an open-end 
credit plan in the State of Wisconsin. You agree that the Wisconsin 
Consumer Act applies to all these transactions even though you 
may use them for business purposes or you are a person not 
otherwise governed by the Act. To secure each transaction, you 
grant us a purchase-money security interest under the Uniform 
Commercial Code in any goods you purchase with it. If you 
default, we will have the right to recover any of these goods, which 
have not been paid for in full. 

For purposes of determining the amount of the unpaid balance 
secured by our security interest, your payments will be deemed to 
have been applied first to payment of finance charges in order of 
their entry to the account and then to payment of the respective 
amounts financed in the order in which the entries were made 
and, for transactions made on the same day, the smallest shall be 
deemed the first paid. You are hereby granting us a security interest 
in all your funds in your present and future Landmark Credit Union 
deposit accounts, except IRAs and any other accounts exempted by 
state and federal law, to the full amount of your Card indebtedness 
with us. Should you default under the terms of these Regulations, 
we may, at our sole option, subject to any notice and right to cure 
required by Wis. Stat. Sec. 425.105, at any time thereafter, exercise 
our right of set-off and apply any portion of, or the entire amount 
of, such funds toward payment of the outstanding indebtedness, 
and/or, we may exercise our right to refuse to allow withdrawal 
from such accounts to the full extent of the delinquent amount, 
all of which is subject to the restrictions contained in Section 

1026.13 (d) (1) of federal Reg. Z. If you give or have given us any 
other security interests for all your debts, your Account will also 
be secured by the property described in those security agreements 
(except your home and/or dwelling, home furnishings, appliances 
and clothing), including, if your balance exceeds $1,000 and except 
as otherwise expressly excluded herein, any real property.

10. Credits: If plan members who honor your Card give you credit 
for returns or adjustments, they will do so by sending us a credit 
slip that we will post to your Account. We will apply those credits 
first to offset your current purchases, and then to your previous 
balance. If your credits and payments exceed what you owe us, we 
will hold and apply this credit balance against future purchases and 
cash advances, or refund it on your written request if it is $1.00 or 
more. We will make a good faith attempt to return to you any credit 
balance that remains in your Account for more than six months.

11. Plan member Disputes: We are not responsible for refusal 
of any plan member or financial institution to honor your Card 
or Convenience Check. You must resolve directly with the plan 
member any disputes regarding goods or services you purchase 
with the Card, unless: (a) your purchase was made in response to 
an advertisement we sent or participated in sending you, or (b) your 
purchase cost more than $50.00 and was made from a plan member 
in your state or within 100 miles of your home.

12. Foreign Transaction Fee: A transaction that takes place in 
a foreign country will be charged 1% of the US dollar amount 
whether the transaction was made in US dollars or was converted 
from a foreign currency. For transactions being converted from a 
foreign currency, Visa International will convert foreign currency to 
US dollars using either the government-mandated exchange rate or 
the wholesale exchange rate in effect one day before the date of the 
conversion, as applicable.  The exchange rate is increased by one 
percent (1%) if the conversion is made in connection with a charge 
to an account and decreased by one percent (1%) if the conversion 
is made in connection with a credit to the Account. The date of 
conversion by Visa may differ from the purchase date and the 
posting date identified in the monthly statement for your Account. 
You agree to pay charges and accept credit for the converted 
transaction amounts in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.

13. Unauthorized Use: You authorize us to pay from your Account 
all items reflecting credit purchases or cash advances made with 
the Card in spite of the absence of your signature on the draft or the 

 
lack of presentation of the Card. You may be liable for unauthorized 
use of your Secured VISA® Card. However, YOU WILL NOT BE 
LIABLE FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE THAT OCCURS AFTER 
YOU NOTIFY US OF THE LOSS, THEFT, OR POSSIBLE 
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR CARD (Customer Service, P.O. 
Box 31535, Tampa, FL 33631-3535; Secured VISA® Card Telephone 
for Customer Service and to list as Lost or Stolen please call 
1-866-952-8199.) In addition, you will not be liable for unauthorized 
purchases with your Card if you have not been grossly negligent or 
fraudulent in handling or using your Account or your Card. If you do 
not meet these conditions, or if the unauthorized use was at an ATM, 
your liability will not exceed $50.00.

14. Effect of Regulations: These Regulations are the contract that 
applies to all transactions on your Account even though the sales, 
cash advances, or credit slips you sign may contain different terms. 
We may amend these Regulations from time to time. If required by 
Section 422.415, Wis. Stats., we will provide written notice of an 
amendment 90 days prior to the date the amendment is effective. 
Your use of the Card or Convenience Check thereafter will indicate 
your agreement to the amendments. To the extent the law permits, 
and we indicate in our notice, amendments will apply to your 
existing Account balance as well as to future transactions. No delay 
or omission in exercising any rights granted to us hereunder shall 
impair such rights or be construed to be a waiver thereof. No waiver 
whatsoever shall be valid unless signed in writing by us and then 
only to the extent set forth therein.

15. Fees and Charges:  (a) As permitted by Wisconsin Statues, a 
$25.00 late payment fee will be assessed against your Account if 
we do not receive your minimum payment on or before the due date 
set forth on your periodic statement. (b) You will be charged a lost 
Card replacement fee of $10.00 for any lost Card which we must 
replace. To limit your personal liability, contact us immediately 
upon discovery of loss. (c) You will be provided one periodic 
statement per billing period and will be charged for each duplicate 
billing statement, draft, or machine receipt you request. Check our 
website, landmarkcu.com, or  a fee schedule in any branch for the 
current fee. These fees will not be charged if the request is related 
to a billing error under the Fair Credit Billing Act. (d) There will 
be a $30.00 charge for each check presented in payment that is 
returned unpaid. (e) There will be a cash advance fee not to exceed 
the greater of $5.00 or 3% of the amount of the cash advance, up 

to a maximum of $5.00 per cash advance. The following fees will be 
billed to your first statement: Annual Fee of $49, Account Set up fee of 
$35, Participation fee of $60 per year (billed at $5.00 per month). These 
fees will reduce your available credit until they are paid. In addition, you 
certify that you have read, understand, and agree to the account fees, 
rates, costs, limitations, available credit and other terms listed.

16. Termination: If you are a resident of Wisconsin, our receipt of 
a written notice from your spouse terminating his or her liability for 
the Account will constitute an event of default if such termination 
materially impairs the condition, value or protection of our right to 
any collateral securing your obligations under these Regulations or 
your ability to pay the obligations due under these Regulations. You 
will remain responsible for all amounts charged to your Account 
both before and after receipt of such notice. Your privilege of using 
the Card and the Account shall expire on the date shown on the 
Card. You may terminate your Account relationship with us at any 
time by surrendering to us all your Cards and unused Convenience 
Checks, but you will remain liable to us for full payment of any 
balance on your Account. We may revoke your Card at any time 
without prior notification and without affecting your obligation to 
pay the Account balance.

17. Change of Address:  We will send all Account statements and 
any other notices concerning this Account to your address as shown 
on our records. If you change your address, you must notify us of 
your new address within a reasonable time.

18. Applicable State Laws:  The validity, construction, and 
enforcement of these Regulations and all matters arising out of 
the issuance and use of the Card shall be governed by the laws of 
Wisconsin.

19. Joint Account:  You agree that all parties to your Account 
are authorized on your behalf to request Credit Limit increases, 
to agree to amendments or modifications to the Account, to enter 
into settlements or agreements with us regarding the Account, to 
request additional Cards, or to authorize others to transact business 
on the Account. You agree to be jointly and severally liable for all 
charges to the Account made or authorized by any other party to the 
Account, whether or not such charges caused the Account balance 
to exceed the Credit Limit.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS
KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE

This notice contains important information about your rights and our 
responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Notify us in Case 
of Errors or Questions About Your Statement.

If you think your bill is incorrect, or if you need more information

your bill. Write us as soon as possible. We must receive written 
notice from you no later than 60 days after the transaction date

- The dollar amount of the suspected error.

- Describe the error and explain why you believe there is an error.

think is wrong. To stop the payment, your letter must reach us 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 the 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 responsible for the remaining balance of your bill that is not 
in question.

did not make a mistake, you may have to pay Finance Charges, 
and you will have to make up any missed payments on the 
questioned amount. In either case, we will send you a statement of 
the amount you owe and the date that it is due. If you fail to pay the 
amount that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent. 
However, if our explanation does not satisfy you and you write to 
us within ten days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell 
anyone we report to that you have a question about your bill. And, 
we must tell you the name of anyone to whom we report you. We 
must tell anyone we report you to that the matter has been settled 
between you and us when it finally is. If we do not follow these 
rules, we cannot collect the first $50.00 of the questioned amount, 
even if your bill was correct.

SPECIAL RULE FOR CREDIT CARD PURCHASES

If you have a problem with the quality of property or services that 
you purchased with the 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 services. 
There are two limitations on this right: (a) You must have made 
the purchase in your home state, or if not, within 100 miles of your 
current mailing address; and (b) The purchase price must have been 
more than $50.00. These limitations do not apply if we own or 
operate the merchant, or if we mailed you the advertisement for the 
property or service.
