NOTICE:  Some  of  these  set-up  and  maintenance  fees  will  be  assessed  before 
you begin using your card and will reduce the amount of credit you initially have 
available. For example, if you are assigned the minimum credit limit of $350, your 
initial available credit will be only about $275 (or about $255 if you choose to have 
an authorized user).

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “ending balance”. We figure the interest charge on your 
Account by applying the periodic rate to the amount you owe at the end of each billing cycle (including new purchases, cash 
advances and fees) and deducting payments and credits made during the billing cycle.

Credit Card Contract and Initial Disclosure Statement
Please read this contract carefully. Your credit card account is governed by this contract. You become bound by the terms of 
this contract when you sign your application. In the contract, “bank,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to First National Bank (Ft. Pierre, 
SD) and we are the creditor named in the application you signed. “You,” “your” and “applicant” are the person(s) who applied 
to us for the account. “Contract” means the terms and conditions outlined in this contract. “Account” means the credit card 
account we open for you to use to access the credit we extend to you. “Credit limit” means the maximum account balance you 
can have at any time.

1.  Your Responsibility for the Account: You are responsible for the balance on the account and you agree to pay the 
balance under the terms of this contract. You need to sign the back of the card. You need to protect and control the card 
by not letting any other person use it. If you let another person use it, you agree to be responsible for any charges they 
make. We may let you add an authorized user to your account. An authorized user is any person you give permission to 
use the card or your account. If you add an authorized user, you agree to pay for any charges they make as well as any 
related fees or interest. If you do not pay for the charges made by the authorized user, we may choose to collect directly 
from them. If you want to remove an authorized user from your account, you need to get the card from them and notify 
us. If you cannot get the card, contact us immediately and we will close the account to try to stop further charges. The 
cards remain our property and you agree to return them at our request or we have the right to have a merchant keep the 
card and return it to us. If your card is lost or stolen or you suspect unauthorized use of your account, you agree to notify 
us immediately.

2.  Using Your Account to Obtain Credit: You can use the card and your account to make charges. We can close or 
suspend the account at any time for any reason including if the activity on your account appears suspicious, if we are 
concerned about repayment or if the balance is over the credit limit. We can also limit the number or amount of charges 
you can make on the account. You may be assigned a PIN (Personal Identification Number) or you may request a PIN 
to use ATM’s to obtain cash advances. The minimum cash advance is $20.00. Your card and account cannot be used for 
illegal charges. 

3.  Your Credit Limit: The credit limit is included in the information sent with your card and on your statements. You may 
not go over your credit limit at any time. If your balance is more than your credit limit, you must pay the amount over your 
credit limit immediately. 

4.  Monthly Billing Statements: We will send you a statement every month with the account activity, fees and interest. It 

will also show your minimum payment and payment due date.

5.  Payments: Payments should be sent to the address on the payment coupon with your billing statement. If you send a 
payment to any other address, there may be a delay in crediting it to your account. We do not lose any of our rights to 
collect the full balance if we accept late payments, partial payments or checks or money orders marked “payment in full” 
or similar language. Do not send us postdated checks. If you do, we may deposit these checks when we receive them 
and will not be liable for any fees that may result. We will post payments when received but we may restrict your ability to 
make new charges against that payment amount for up to thirty (30) days. If your payment is returned unpaid from your 
bank, we may re-present it electronically. If this occurs, your check will not be sent to your bank but they can get a copy 
of it at your request. 

 
 
 
6.  Minimum Payment and Monthly Payment: You may pay your entire balance at any time without penalty. You must pay 
at least the minimum payment each month by the payment due date. The payment due date will be at least twenty-five 
(25) days from the closing date. The closing date is the last day of the billing cycle.
Monthly Payment: If your balance is less than $30, the monthly payment is the balance. If your balance is greater than 
$30, your monthly payment is the largest amount of either $30 or 4% of your balance or 1% of the balance plus the 
current late fee and interest. 
Minimum  Payment: The  minimum  payment  is  the  sum  of  any  past  due  monthly  payments  plus  the  current  monthly 
payment plus any amount over your credit limit.

7.  Applying Your Payments: In general, the payment will be applied in the following order: Unpaid interest, unpaid fees 
and other charges, and then principal balance. Payments applied to the principal balance will first be paid to balances at 
the highest annual percentage rate (APR) and then to balances at lower APRs.

8.  Payment Methods: All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a financial institution located in the United 

States. Do not send cash through the mail. 

9.  When Interest is Charged: Interest will be charged if you did not pay the previous balance in full by the payment due 
date. We will charge interest on the ending balance. Ending balance means the balance on your account at the end 
of any billing cycle. Billing cycle means the time between two billing statements. The ending balance is the sum of the 
previous balance (the ending balance on your last statement) less payments and credits, plus new purchases and new 
cash advances and charges posted during the billing cycle. To calculate the interest, we multiply the ending balance by 
the monthly periodic rate.  The monthly periodic rate is calculated by dividing the annual percentage rate of 29.9% by 12 
(months).  The monthly periodic rate is 2.4917%.

10. Account Fees: You agree to pay us the following fees which will be billed to your account as a purchase and will 

accrue interest.
a.  Annual Fee: A $75 annual fee will be billed on your first billing statement and then about the same time each year.
b.  Late Fee: You will be billed up to $25 if your payment is not received by the payment due date. 
c.  Returned Payment Fee:  You will be billed up to $25 if your payment is returned for any reason. 
d.  Cash Advance Fee: You will be billed a fee of 2% of the amount of each cash advance.
e.    Optional Authorized User:  If you add an authorized user, there is a $20 annual authorized user fee.

11.  Lost or Stolen Cards: If your card is lost, stolen or being used without your permission, call us toll free (888) 883-9824, 
24 hours a day. You should also write to us. Do not use the card or account after you have notified us. You will not be 
responsible for paying for any unauthorized use after you notify us of the loss, theft or unauthorized use. 

12.  If Card is Refused: We are not responsible and have no liability if your card or account is not accepted for a charge. 
Although you may have the credit available, we may be unable to authorize credit due to system difficulties or mistakes. 
If your account is over the credit limit or past due, authorization for charges should be declined. 

13.  Cardholder Privacy: We will send you a privacy notice annually. Your telephone calls with our representatives may be 
recorded for quality and other purposes. We may use automated telephone equipment or pre-recorded telephone calls to 
contact you at any number you provide to us or that we obtain, including any cellular telephone number. You agree that 
we will not be responsible for the release of information to anyone who has gained possession of a card or identification 
number, credit account number or social security number. 

14.  Calls and Text Messages to Your Cellular Phone: If you provide us with your cellular phone number or contact us from 
your cellular phone, you are providing this phone number for us, our affiliates or any third party acting on our behalf to 
contact you at this number. You agree that we may use this phone number to contact you for any business purpose about 
your account and you agree to be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result of providing this information. 
You may request this number not be used. We may offer options for text messages or other electronic communications 
that  may  be  received  or  accessed  from  your  cellular  phone  and  you  agree  that  by  enrolling  in  these  services,  you 
understand and agree to be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result of this enrollment.

15.  Your Billing Rights: Keep this Document for Future Use. This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities 

under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What to do if you find a mistake on your statement: If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: First 
National Bank, PO Box 5097, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5097. In your letter, give us the following information: Your name 
and account number; the dollar amount of the suspected error; a description of the problem. If you think there is an error 
on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. You must contact us: 1) Within 60 
days after the error appeared on your statement; and, 2) If you have enrolled in automatic payment, at least 3 business 
days before the payment is scheduled if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. You must notify us 
of any potential errors in writing. 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.
When we receive your letter, we must do two things: Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we 
received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, 
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. The charge in question may remain on your statement and we may continue 
to charge you interest on that amount. While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the 
remainder of your balance. We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen: If we made a mistake: 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.
Your rights 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. These limitations do not apply 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: First National Bank, PO Box 5097, Sioux Falls, 
SD 57117-5097. 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.

16.  Delay in Enforcement: We can delay enforcing or fail to enforce any of our rights under this contract without losing our 

right to enforce them at a later time. 

17.  Credit Reports: You authorize us to obtain credit reports about you for any legitimate business purpose. We may obtain 
a credit report for reviewing, modifying the terms, renewing the account or collection. We may report information about 
your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected 
in your credit report. You and each authorized user agree that we may report account information to credit reporting 
agencies in the names of both you and the authorized user(s).

18.  Change in Terms of Your Credit Account: We may change any term of this contract at any time upon notice to you as 
is required by law. You may have the right to reject the change in terms, depending on the type of change, and if you do, 
your account will be closed and you will be able to pay off the balance under the terms in effect at that time.

19.  Law Governing this Contract: This contract is entered into in the state of South Dakota where the decision to grant 
credit will be made. Therefore, this contract will be governed by the laws of the state of South Dakota applicable to 
contracts, and applicable federal law.

20.  Severability: If any provision of this contract is invalid or unenforceable under any law, rule or regulation, it shall not 

affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this contract.

21.  Default: You will be in default of this contract if any of the following occur:

h.  We reasonably deem the prospect of repayment of your account to be in jeopardy for any reason.

can also require that you pay us the balance on your account.  You agree that you will return the card(s) to us. Even if 
an account is in default, you agree to pay interest and fees as defined in this contract until your balance is paid in full. 
If your account is in default and you try to make charges, we can use any legal means to recover the card(s) including 
listing your account in warning bulletins and offering rewards for the return of the cards. If you resolve a default situation, 
we can still declare your account in default for the same or different reason at a later time. 

22.  Cancellation:  You  may  cancel  your  account  at  any  time  by  notifying  us  in  writing  at  the  address  on  your  monthly 
statement and returning all cards issued on your account (cut in half). Even if your account is closed, you agree to pay 
the balance on the account under the terms of this contract. We can suspend your account privileges or cancel your 
account at any time, for any reason. We will notify you after we do so, unless you are in default at that time. We will have 
no obligation to notify you prior to suspending your charging privileges or cancelling your account. 

23.   Refund of Initial Fees:  If you cancel your account within 90 days after the card is first mailed to you and if you have 
not used your account for any charges, all fees and interest billed to your account will be credited back to your account.

24.  Collection Costs: Unless prohibited by applicable law, if we start collection proceedings to recover amounts you owe 

us by reason of this contract, you agree to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and other collection costs.
