AMERICAN EAGLE FINANCIAL CREDIT UNION, INC. 
VISA� SECURED CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT, Effective March 1 , 2019 
1. Agreement. These regulations govern the possession and use of credit cards (�card�) issued by American Eagle 
Financial Credit Union, Inc. (�we� or �Issuer�). Each person who applies for a credit card and in whose name the card is 
issued (�you� or �Holder�) consents and agrees to these regulations and to the terms contained on the credit cards, sales 
drafts, credit adjustment memos and cash a dvance drafts, signed by or given to Holder or any authorized user of Holder�s 
cards. When credit cards are issued upon the application of two or more persons, all such persons shall be jointly and 
severally liable as Holders. The provisions of these regul ations, as amended from time to time, govern Holder�s obligations, 
not withstanding any additional or different terms contained in sales drafts, credit adjustment memos, cash advance drafts 
or other forms signed by or given to Holder or any user of Holder �s cards to evidence a credit card transaction. Holder 
authorizes an investigation of Holder�s credit standing prior to the issuance of a credit card to Holder and at any time 
thereafter and authorizes disclosure of information to third parties relating to Holder�s credit standing. These regulations 
apply to all credit cards issued to Holder or to others on Holder�s authorization and to any user of Holder�s cards. You agre e 
that the card will only be used for personal, family, or household purposes, and wil l not be used for business purposes. You 
may be liable for the unauthorized use of the card before you notify Issuer. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use 
that occurs after you notify Issuer. In any case, your liability will not exceed $50. You agree to cooperate with the 
investigation of the loss, theft, or unauthorized use of the card, including providing whatever reasonable information Issuer 
requires. 
2. Membership Fees. As a condition of participation in the issuer�s credit plan and the issu ance of a card, Holder agrees 
that there is no annual membership fee for VISA consumer and business accounts. The membership fee described above 
entitles the Holder to two VISA cards. Holder agrees to pay a fee for each additional card requested. 
3. Use of Card. Credit for purchases from a merchant or a cash advance from a participating financial institution may be 
obtained by Holder or an authorized user of Holder�s card presenting one of Holder's� cards to the merchant or participating 
financial instituti on and, if requested, by providing the proper identifying information and signing the appropriate drafts. 
Failure to sign a draft does not relieve the Holder of liability for purchases made or cash received. The use of this card fo r 
illegal transactions is prohibited. The card may also be used to obtain cash advances from certain automated equipment 
provided it is used with Holder�s correct Personal Identification Number (�PIN�) issued to Holder. Holder may make only two 
cash advance withdrawals totaling no t more than $500 each day from compatible ATM terminals. Terminals or terminal 
operators may have other limits on the amounts or frequency of cash withdrawals. Holder will not be liable for the 
unauthorized use of the card or PIN issued to Holder which occ urs before issuer receives notification orally or in writing of 
loss, theft or possible unauthorized use of a card or PIN. Lost or stolen cards or PINS should be reported immediately to 
Issuer by notifying CUSTOMER SERVICE, P.O. Box 31535,Tampa, FL 33631 -3535, and Telephone (866) 839 -3485. 
4. Use of AEFCU Card Checks. Credit obtained by use of a Balance Transfer Check shall be treated as a cash advance. 
Credit obtained by use of Classic or Premier Check shall be treated as a cash advance. 
5. Credit Line. Holder will from time to time be informed of the amount of the approved credit line established for Holder, 
and Holder covenants not to make credit purchases or borrowings in excess of that amount. Holder is liable for all purchases 
and borrowings made with Holder�s cards by Holder or by anyone authorized to use Holder�s cards. 
6. Payment. Holder will be furnished a monthly statement for each billing period at the end of which there is an undisputed 
debit or credit balance of $1.00 or more. Holder shall pay w ithin 25 days after each statement Closing Date either (a) the 
full amount billed (�New Balance�) or, at Holder�s option, (b) a minimum Payment of 2.5% of the New Balance, or $25, 
whichever is greater. Payments may be mailed to AEFCU, P.O. Box 104, Brattle boro, VT 05302. Payments may be made, in 
person, at a AEFCU office. Payments received after 5:00 p.m. on any processing day or at any time on any non -
processing day will be considered as payments made on the following processing day. All payments by Holder will 
be applied first to payment of Interest Charges in the order of their entry to the account, second to additional fees and 
credit insurance charges, if any, in the order of their entry to the account, third to previously billed cash advances, 
purchase s and other similar charges in the order of their entry to the account, and then to current cash advances, 
purchases and other similar charges in the order of their entry to the account. If your credits and payments exceed what is 
owed Issuer, Issuer will refund it upon request or automatically within 6 months. 
7. ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR). The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR) will be a VARIABLE rate. Variable rates 
are calculated by adding together a margin and a n index . A margin is the percent added to the index to calculate APR. The 
index is the highest U.S. Prime Rate as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal on the last 
publication day of each month. An increase or decrease in the index will cause a corresponding increase or de crease in your 
variable rates on the first day of your billing cycle that begins in the same month in which the index is published. An 
increase in the index means that you will pay higher interest charges and have a higher Total Minimum Payment Due. If The 
Wall Street Journal does not publish the U.S. Prime Rate, or if it changes the definition of the U.S. Prime Rate, we may, in 
our sole discretion, substitute another index. However, we may choose at our option and in our sole discretion to delay an 
APR inc rease resulting from an increase to the Prime Rate by one or more billing cycles. We do not have to give you 
advance notice of changes to the APR that are due to changes to the Prime Rate. Account statements will show the APRs 
that were in effect during th e billing cycles covered by the statements.                  
                
                   
              
                    
                   
              
                 
                     
              
    
               
      
           
                    
                 
                   
                
                 
      
               
              
               
               
                  
            
            
               
               
              
               
                  
              
              
              
      
  
             
                 
               
                   
               
                  
                  
                
             
                  
                    
                 
              
                  
                 
             
            
              
                
                 
                  
        We also reserve the right to re -determine the margin that applies to your Account more frequently than and/or on dates 
other than those described above when the Prime Rate itself is subject to change. We may revi ew your credit worthiness 
several times a year. Based on changes to various risk factors, including but not limited to, credit scores and other 
information obtained from various outside agencies, your margin (and therefore your APR) may be increased or dec reased 
from time to time. However, we will not increase your margin during the first year after your Account is opened. If your 
margin and APR are increased due to a change in any of these risk factors, your Account will be reviewed semi -annually in 
an eff ort to restore your previous margin and previous APR. We will give you advance written notice of the effective date for 
any increase to the margin and any corresponding increase to your APR, as required by applicable law. 
An increase to your APR (whether d ue to an increase to your margin or an increase to the Prime Rate) will increase the 
Finance Charges payable on your Account until your APR decreases (whether due to a decrease to the Prime Rate or a 
decrease to your margin). 
Regardless of the rate as dete rmined by adding the Prime Rate and your margin, the Annual Percentage Rate will never 
exceed 18% (a monthly periodic rate of 1.5%). 
8. Failure to Make Minimum Payment -Penalty APR . We may increase the APR applicable to your outstanding balances 
to 18% AP R (a monthly periodic rate of 1.5%) if we have not received a required Minimum Payment within sixty (60) days 
after the payment is due. If we intend to increase your APR under these circumstances, we will give you written notice at 
least 45 days prior to t he effective date of the change. This increased APR will remain in effect for no longer than six (6) 
months, provided that you make all required Minimum Payments on time during that period. If you fail to make all required 
Minimum Payments on time for six (6) consecutive billing cycles, the 18% APR will remain in effect until you do so. 
9. FINANCE CHARGES. The PERIODIC RATE (FINANCE CHARGE consisting of interest) will be one -twelfth of the 
APR. You can avoid a FINANCE CHARGE on purchases by paying the Total New Balance (including all Purchases, Cash 
Advances, Balance Transfers, finance charges and other fees) each month within 25 days of your statement closing date. 
Otherwise, the New Balance of Purchases and subsequent purchases from the date they are poste d to your Account will be 
subject to FINANCE CHARGE. Cash Advances are always subject to FINANCE CHARGE from the date they are posted to your 
Account. If Balance Transfers or Convenience Checks are used, the amount of each we pay will be charged to your Ac count 
as a Cash Advance and subject to FINANCE CHARGES as Cash Advances. 
We calculate the periodic FINANCE CHARGE (interest) on your Account by applying the periodic rate to the average daily 
principal balances of purchases and Cash Advances on your Accou nt (including new transactions) each billing cycle. To get 
the average daily principal balance, we take the principal balances of purchases or Cash Advances each day during the 
billing cycle, beginning with the principal portion of your Previous Balances, reduced by payments you make and credits we 
apply, and increased by new purchases and Cash Advances you make and debit adjustments we make during the billing 
cycle. We add up all the daily principal balances and divide the total by the number of days in th e billing cycle to produce 
separate average daily principal balances for purchases and Cash Advances to which the periodic rate is then applied. (We 
treat a credit balance as a zero balance when we figure the average daily principal balance.) 
10. Addition al Fees. For a listing of fees charged in association with this card, please see the rates and fees disclosure at 
https://www.americaneagle.org/Loans/VISA -Credit -Card/Forms -Disclosures.aspx . Fees imposed will be posted to Holder�s 
account. 
11. Security Interest , Pledge, Collateral. This is a secured credit card account. In consideration of the issuance of this 
secured credit card account, you have authorized us to open a secondary deposit account in your name (�Collateral 
Account�). To secure all of your obligations arising under this Agreement, you assign, transfer, pledge, grant a security 
interest in, and set over to us all rights, title and interest in the Collateral Account and in all renewals, additions and 
proceeds of the Collateral Account. You ag ree that this security interest, pledge, and assignment includes and gives us the 
right to redeem, collect and withdraw any part or the full amount of the Collateral Account upon any default under this 
Agreement or in the event your Account is terminated f or any reason. You acknowledge and agree that this security 
interest, pledge, and assignment means that we have exclusive control over the Collateral Account. You may not make any 
withdrawals from the Collateral Account while it secures this Account. This security interest, pledge, and assignment is given 
as security for any and all amounts you may owe, including but not limited to interest, fees and charges which may accrue 
under your Account. You agree that if this Account is closed for any reason, we ma y apply funds in the Collateral Account to 
pay off any balance on the Account. If there are still funds remaining in the Collateral Account after doing so, these funds 
may remain on deposit for up to 60 days before being remitted to you. 
12. Foreign Trans actions. Purchases and Cash Advances made in foreign currencies will be billed to you in U.S. dollars. 
The U.S. dollar exchange rate for the foreign currency used for a Purchase or Cash Advance is a rate selected by VISA� 
from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may 
vary from the rate VISA� itself receives, or the government -mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing 
date. In addition, for transactions processe d outside of the United States, the Foreign Transaction Fee will apply . 
13. Disputes. Issuer is not responsible for refusal by any merchant, financial institution or automated equipment to honor 
or accept a card. Except as provided in the federal Truth -in-Lending laws (as indicated in the Summary of Billing Rights 
below), Issuer has no responsibility for merchandise or services obtained by Holder with a card and any dispute concerning 
merchandise or services will be settled between Holder and the merchant concerned.                
                    
                 
                
                
               
               
                 
                
             
        
              
                
                
            
             
               
                  
             
                  
   
           
                
                
                 
               
                  
               
         
                 
                
              
                 
              
      
            
   
 
 
  
 
 14. Default. Holder covenants to observe and comply with these regulations and covenants not to permit an event of 
default to occur. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events of default: (a) Holder fails to pay at least 
the Minimum Payment when due on two occasions within any 12 -month period; or (b) Holder dies, ceases to exist, changes 
residency to another state, becomes insolvent or the subject of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or fails to observe any 
covenant or duty contained in these regulations, if such event or breach materially impairs Holder�s ability to pay amounts 
due; the full amount of Holder�s account for which the default occurred (including unpaid Interest Charges) shall, at Issuer� s 
option become immedia tely due and payable if Holder does not cure the default within 15 calendar days after notice is 
mailed to the address of Holder, or given as otherwise provided by law. Issuer has this right, without notice and opportunity 
to cure. if the default is the Ho lder�s third default within 12 months and the Holder is notified of the prior two defaults and 
the Holder incurred those defaults. Issuer may delay enforcing any of its rights under these regulations or under applicable 
law without losing those rights or a ny of its other rights. 
15. Termination. Holder�s consent to these regulations may be terminated at any time by surrendering the cards issued to 
Holder or at Holder�s written request, but such termination shall not affect Holder�s obligations as to any ba lances or 
charges outstanding at the time of termination. Termination by any Holder shall be binding on each person in whose name 
the card is issued. If Holder�s spouse terminates this credit plan, the full amount of Holder�s account (including unpaid 
Interest Charges) may be declared immediately due and payable. Issuer may terminate Holder�s privilege to use the cards if 
Holder moves out of the service area of Issuer, as defined by Issuer from time to time. Unless sooner terminated, the 
privilege to use th e cards shall expire on the date shown on the cards. At any time, without liability to Holder and without 
affecting Holder�s liability for credit previously extended, Holder�s privilege to use the cards may be revoked or limited to the 
extent not prohibite d by law. The cards are and shall remain the property of Issuer and Holder agrees to surrender them to 
Issuer upon demand. 
16. Amendments. Issuer may amend these regulations from time to time by sending Holder advanc e written notice not 
less than 45 days p rior to the effective date for any change that is either adverse to Holder�s outstanding balance or 
increases certain fees, as required by applicable law, from time to time, or not less than 15 days prior to the effective dat e 
for other changes, or as may otherwise be required or permitted by law. To the extent that Issuer indicates in the notice 
and that the law permits, amendments will apply to Holder�s existing account balance as well as to future transactions. 
Notices are deemed given when mailed by Iss uer to any Holder to the current address for mailing monthly statements. 
Invalidity of any provision of these regulations shall not affect the validity of any other provisions. 
17. Statement of Military Annual Percentage Rate. Federal law provides important protections to members of the 
Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a 
member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an ann ual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate 
must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees 
for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain 
application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain 
participation fees for a credit card account). 
18. Governing Law. Holder agrees these regulations are gov erned by the law of Connecticut to the extent not preempted 
by federal law.
