How  long will the  Penalty APR  apply? If  your APRs are increased for any of these 
reasons, the Penalty APR will only apply for the next six months if you make the next six (6) 
consecutive minimum payments when due; and you do not again default on these 
conditions during this time. If you fail to make the next six (6) monthly payments when due, 
the Penalty APR will continue to apply until the account is paid in full and closed. 

If  you  receive a  penalty rate  and  you have  a  Visa Platinum ScoreCard Rewards or (Cash

Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you 
any  interest  on purchases  if  you  pay  your  entire  balance  by  the  due  date  each month. 
We will begin charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the transaction 
date. 
The minimum payment is the greater of 2% of the total new balance, or $35, or the total new 
balance if less than $35. If the balance exceeds the limit, the minimum payment is $35 plus 
the amount over the limit or 2% of the balance, plus the amount over the limit.

How we will calculate your balance: Average Daily Balance method is figured by adding the outstanding balance (including 
new purchases, and deducting payments and credits) for each day in the billing cycle and dividing the total of each day by 
the number of days in the billing cycle. 

How we will calculate your variable APRs: We will add a “Margin” to the U.S. Prime Rate to determine your standard 
variable APR. The U.S. Prime Rate is 4.25 percentage points as of 07/01/2017 (Date of last change). After a change to the 
Prime Rate, the new rate will be applied at the start of your next monthly billing cycle. 

Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in your 
account agreement. 

Security for Advances and Purchases: The Credit Union will acquire a security interest in the property purchased 
with your Credit Card; and collateral securing other loans with us may also secure this account.  Also, you are 
giving us a security interest in your shares and other deposits in the Credit Union. 

Requirements: You will need to maintain a mortgage loan at the Credit Union to qualify for card. If your mortgage loan is 
paid off after receiving your Visa Mortgage Advantage Credit Card, then by June 1 of the following year, your Visa Mortgage 
Advantage Credit Card will be closed. You may apply for, and if approved, transfer to another Credit Union credit card 
product.  

Cash Back: 1% of all transactions within the year will be credited to the principal of your Credit Union mortgage loan in the 
month of April. If your Credit Union mortgage loan is paid-in-full, then the cash back will go to your Visa Mortgage 
Advantage Credit Card. If your Visa Mortgage Advantage Credit Card is paid-in-full, then the cash back will go to your 
Primary Savings Account. 

If your Visa Mortgage Advantage Credit Card is closed within the calendar year, then cash back will be forfeited. If there is a 
balance, you will be required to pay it in full or you may apply for, and if approved, transfer to another Credit Union credit 
card product.
