which Cardholder receives no benefit.  Additionally, Cardholder shall be jointly and severally liable and agrees to pay for all Credit Purchases and Loans

E. All Credit Purchases and Loans are affected at the option of the Seller and Cash Advancing Financial Institution respectively, and Issuer shall not be 
responsible for refusal by any Seller or Cash Advancing Financial Institution to honor the Card or any Related Card.  Any refund, adjustment or credit

in writing within 60 days of mailing of such statement.  Cardholder will pay such statement by remitting to Issuer within 25 days of the closing date

the household goods or a mortgage on the dwelling.  If you have executed a written agreement granting a security interest in any deposit accounts 
(checking or savings accounts) or other funds held by FIBT to secure your obligations under this credit card plan, such accounts and / or funds are 
additional security for your obligations to FIBT arising from the use of your Card. 

PERIODIC INTEREST CHARGE CALCULATION METHODS 

The period Interest Charge Calculation Method applicable to your account for Cash Advances and Credit Purchases of goods and services that you obtain 
through the use of your Card is specified in Number 1 above and explained below: 

METHOD A: Average Daily Balance (including current transactions).  The Interest Charge on purchases begins from the date the transaction is posted to 
your account and the Interest Charge on cash advances begins from the date you obtained the cash advance, or the first day of the billing cycle in which it 
is posted to your account, whichever is later.  There is no grace period.  The Interest Charges for a billing cycle are computed by applying the monthly 
Periodic Rate to the “average daily balance” of your account.  To get the average daily balance, we take the beginning balance of your account each day, 
add any new purchases or cash advances, and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid interest charges.  This gives us the daily 
balance.  Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. 

METHOD G: Average Daily Balance (including current transactions).  To avoid incurring an additional Interest Charge on the balance of purchases (and cash 
advances, if Method G is specified as applicable to cash advances) reflected on your monthly statement and, on any new purchases (and if applicable, cash 
advances) appearing on your next monthly statement, you must pay the New Balance, shown on your monthly statement, on or before the Payment Due 
Date.  The grace period for the New Balance of purchases extends to the Payment Due Date.  The Interest Charges for a billing cycle are computed by 
applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the “average daily balance” of purchases (and if applicable, cash advances).  To get the average daily balance, we 
take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new purchases or cash advances, and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and 
unpaid finance charges.  This gives us the daily balance.  Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of 
days in the billing cycle.
