IMPORTANT VISA  SIGNATURE  AGREEMENT & DISCLOSURES  
1  
This document explains the rules which govern your State Credit Union Visa  Signature  credit card account. Please read carefully and keep in 
a safe and convenient place.  
1. Interest will not be imposed on credit purchases of goods and services if you pay the entire new balance shown on the previou s monthly 
statement within 25 days from the c losing date of the statement.  
2. There is no grace period on cash advances made on your card. Interest will be charged from the date of the cash advance. If y our 
balance is paid prior to the due date, no additional interest will be accrued in the current bil ling cycle. (See Balance Computation Method 
below.)  
3. Balance Computation method for interest: We calculate the interest on your account by applying the periodic rate to the �aver age daily 
balance� of your account. To get the �average daily balance,� we tak e the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new 
purchases and cash advances, unpaid interest, current late payment fees, and other applicable fees, and subtract any payments  or 
credits. Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cy cle and divide by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us 
the average daily balance.  
4. Partial Grace: Partial Grace adds an additional grace period to portions of an unpaid balance in the billing period where an account 
moves from paid -in ful l to revolving status. In the transition -to-revolving billing period, balances equal to the amount of any partial 
payment must not be included in the Average Daily Balance subject to interest. The month an account becomes revolving is the first 
month where  the payment made by the payoff exception date (most frequently cycle date) is less than the statement balance owed. 
Partial Grace only applies to transactions that are subject to a grace period.  
5. The MINIMUM monthly payment is 2.5% of the new balance or $ 25.00, whichever is greater.  
6. Cardholder payments made in excess of  the minimum payment due will be applied to the highest APR balance first and then, in order, 
down to the lowest APR balance.  
7. Over -limit conditions must be cleared immediately because your account will not be allowed future approvals until your balance is  below 
the approved limit.  
8. A fee (see Fee Schedule) will be charged on any check issued for payment on your credit card if the check is dishonored and returned. 
This fee will be added to your account balance.  
9. With your SCU Visa  Signature � card, you may o btain cash advances at any financial institution displaying the Visa logo. Cash advances 
are also available at many ATMs.  
10. Your Visa Signature card is issued for a 36-month  period, but it can be cancelled by State Credit Union at any time if used improperl y or 
payments are not made. We will notify you in writing if your account is closed due to inactivity for 18 or more months.  
11. Credit Life Insurance is available at the member�s option. Credit Disability Insurance is also available. The charges will be  adde d to your 
account balance each month.  
12.  You agree to notify us immediately at our credit card processor of the loss, theft, or unauthorized use of your credit card a t 1-
866-583-4060 or 1-727-299-2449 if outside of the U. S.   You may be liable for the unauthorized use of your credit card. You will not be 
liable for unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us of the loss, theft, or possible unauthorized use. In any case, yo ur liability will 
not exceed $50 for unauthorized cash advances at ATMs. You will have no liability for unauthorized purchases made with your credit 
card. If you report your card Lost/Stolen, it is your responsibility to destroy any remaining cards with that number. If you find the 
Lost/Stolen card, you should destroy the card and notify the Credit Union . If you use the card and it is recovered by an authorized Visa 
merchant (because it appears on the Revoked Card List or the Visa Center tells the merchant to pick up the card), then you wi ll be liable 
for any fees, costs or merchant  awards resulting from your unauthorized use of the card.  
13. There will be a replacement fee (see Fee Schedule) for a mutilated card or if the card is more than ninety (90) days from the scheduled 
reissue. Expired cards will be reissued without cost to you.  
14. If you ask for a copy of a document, such as a convenience check or billing statement, a per -hour charge (see Fee Schedule) may be 
imposed for the time that is required to research and locate the document. In addition, a copying fee (see Fee Schedule) wil l be charged. 
No charge will be imposed in connection with any billing error.

15. In the event, that you  receive convenience checks that access your credit card account. These checks are good for only 90 days. Please 
note: Convenience Checks will be treated a s Cash Advances .  Interest is charged on cash advances beginning on the transaction 
date. If you are over your credit limit, are in default, your account privileges have been cancel led, or your card expired, we may decline 
to honor a convenience check and a fee (see Fee Schedule) will be added 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 which you owe SCU. Pai d 
convenience checks will not be ret urned to you. There is a fee (see Fee Schedule) when you stop payment on a convenience check. It 
is the Credit Union�s sole discretion to issue convenience checks to any member.  
16. If you incur a charge (a Purchase or Cash Advance) in a foreign currency, the  charge will be converted into a U.S. dollar amount in 
accordance with the operating regulations of Visa international in effect at the time that the transaction is processed. Curr ently, these 
Regulations provide that the currency conversion rate to be use d is either: (a) a wholesale market rate; or (b) a government -mandated 
rate in effect one day prior to the processing date, increased by one percent in each case. Visa retains this one percent as compensation 
for performing the currency conversion service.   The Credit Union reserves the right to charge a fee for this service with appropriate legal 
notice. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction d ate or the 
posting date.  
17. Your Visa  Signature  card may not be used for any illegal transaction, such as unlawful gambling.  
18. Variable Rate Information: Your APR for purchase, cash advances and balance transfer transactions may vary. Your Credit Card has a 
variable rate feature meaning the Annu al Percentage Rate (corresponding to the periodic rate) and the term of your Visa Signature  Credit 
Card may change due to interest rate fluctuations. The rate is determined by adding a margin of 4.0 % to the prevailing U.S. Prime Rate. 
The Prime Rate, used to determine your APR, is the rate published in the �Money Rates� section of the Wall Street  Journal. The APR 
will change, if needed, based on this rate calculation method at your billing cycle date.  We reserve the right NOT to change  the variable 
rate if Prime changes . 
19. The Credit Union may change the terms of this Agreement, including the Annual  Percentage Rate  margin , with 45 days written notice. 
Except where limited by applicable law, the new terms, including but not limited to, the way the Credit Union calculates inte rest, and the 
minimum payment due, will apply to both new purchases and cash advances and to the existing outstanding balance of your account as 
of the day of the change. In accordance with applicable law, the Credit Union will notify you of any increased charge. Howeve r, if the 
APR margin  changes, the new APR will apply only to ne w purchases and cash advances. If you receive notification of an increase in the 
APR or other �significant change� in terms, you will have the right to cancel before the effective date of the increase or ch ange in order 
for your account to remain under the  same terms and conditions. Your minimum payment requirement would remain the same.  
20. The use of your card confirms agreement to the Visa terms and conditions as well as the terms outlined herein. Complete discl osures, 
terms and conditions will be provided to you. Please read all terms and conditions prior to use of your card. If you do not agree with the 
terms and conditions provided, contact the SCU Visa Department in writing (mail or fax) immediately to cancel the account.

an automatic cancellation. The Credit Union may demand payment in full upon written notice to the cardholder, on any delinquent or 
cancelled account.
