CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE (continued) 

This Agreement will establish the terms and conditions of your credit card agreement with United States Senate Federal Credit Union. In this agreement, the words "you" and "your" mean any 
person receiving and using the card and that by using the card for the first time "you" agree to all terms and conditions in this agreement. "Card" means the VISA Smart Rate or VISA Smart Rewards 
credit card and any duplicates and renewals the Credit Union issues. "Account" means your VISA Smart Rate or VISA Smart Rewards credit card account with the Credit Union. "Credit Union," "we," 
"us," and "our" mean United States Senate Federal Credit Union. You must be a member of the Credit Union to apply for a credit card. Except to the extent that Federal Law is applicable, the laws of 
the Commonweatlh of Virginia shall govern the validity, construction and enforcement of this Agreement and all matters arising out of the issuance and use of the Card. 

USING THE ACCOUNT: Upon your approval for an account, the Credit Union will establish a 
line of credit for you. Notification of your limit will be made when the card is sent to you. You 
agree not to let your account balance exceed your approved credit limit. 
RESPONSIBILITY: You promise to pay any and all charges incurred by you or by any person 
whom you authorize to use the Credit Card issued to you, and any fees or charges incurred in 
the  recovery  of  a  credit  card,  retrieval  of  transaction  data,  or  collection  of  this  account  in 
accordance with the terms and conditions issued by VISA International, Inc., and in accordance 
with the policies established by the Credit Union. 
Your obligation to pay the amount owed on your account continues until paid in full even though 
an agreement, divorce decree or other court judgment to which the Credit Union is not a party 
may direct someone else to pay the account balance. 
JOINT ACCOUNT: If more than one person applies for the card each is individually responsible 
for all amounts owed on the account and is jointly and severally responsible for all amounts 
owed. This means the Credit Union can enforce the Agreement against any of you individually 
or all of you together. Each may obtain credit advances without the knowledge of the other and 
both are obligated to repay all advances made to the account. You agree to notify the Credit 
Union of any address change. 
USING THE CARD: You may use the card issued to you to make purchases from anyone who 
accepts VISA Credit Cards. You may also obtain cash advances from the Credit Union, from 
other  financial  institutions  participating  in  the  VISA  program  and  from  automated  teller 
machines (ATM's) that provide access to the VISA system. Your VISA Personal Identification 
Number (PIN) is needed to obtain cash advance from an ATM. You agree not to use the card 
for any illegal transactions such as advances for gambling or wagering where these practices 
are in violation of the law. 
VARIABLE RATE: Your account is subject to a Variable Rate which is based on the highest 
Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal (“Index”) in 
effect on the last day of each calendar quarter plus our Margin. The Index plus the Margin 
equals the Interest Rate. Changes in the Index will cause changes in the Interest Rate on the 
first day of the next billing cycle following the change. Increases or decreases in the Interest 
Rate will result in like increases or decreases in the Finance Charge and will affect the amount 
of your regularly scheduled payments that you will be required to make. 
There is no limit on the amount by which the annual percentage rate can change during any 
change date other than the maximum and minimum Annual Percentage Rates. The maximum 
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE that can apply is    18.00          %.  

FINANCE CHARGES: The monthly periodic rate assessed on your account is based on an 
annual  percentage  rate  corresponding  to  a  daily  periodic  rate  and  the  type  of  account.  A 
Finance Charge will be imposed on Credit Purchases only if you elect not to pay the entire 
New Balance shown on your monthly statement for the previous billing cycle within 25 days 
from the date of that statement. If you elect not to pay the entire new balance shown on your 
previous monthly statement within that 25 day period, a Finance Charge will be imposed on 
the unpaid average daily balance of such Credit Purchases from the date of posting to your 
account during the current billing cycle, and will continue to accrue until the date of the billing 
cycle preceding the date on which the entire New Balance is paid in full or until the date of 
payment if more than 25 days from the closing date. Cash Advances are always subject to 
a Finance Charge from the date they are posted to your account and are not subject to 
the 25-day grace period. 
Balance  Subject  to  Finance  Charges:  The  balances  subject  to  finance  charge  are  the 
average daily  transaction balances  outstanding  during  the month  (new  and previous).  The 
Average Daily Balance is determined by adding, after subtracting all payments, credits, and 
cash advances for the billing period in which they were made, all the outstanding advance 
balances and billed but unpaid finance charges for each calendar day of the billing period and 
then dividing the total by the number of days in that billing period. Purchases posted to your 
Account during the billing period are included only if the “New Balance” on your previously 
assessed bill was not paid in full by the grace period. 
OTHER CHARGES: a) $10 for each replacement Card, b) $20 for each VISA merchant draft 
that you request; and c) Up to $35 for each returned payment. The fees and charges will be 
handled by the Credit Union as an adjustment to the account balance and will not be charged 
a Finance Charge. 
LATE CHARGE: If your payment is received after the payment due date, you will be charged 
up to $35. 
MONTHLY PAYMENTS: Each payment you make on the account will restore your credit limit 
by the amount of the payment that is applied to the principal amount of purchases and cash 
advances. At any time your total new balance exceeds your credit limit, you must immediately 
pay the amount over your credit limit. 
A PAYMENT IS REQUIRED EACH MONTH: You must pay at least the minimum payment 
shown on your statement by the date specified on your monthly statement. You can repay any 
outstanding balance prior to maturity in whole or in part at your option without penalty. Your 
monthly payment must be made directly to the address shown on your statement. If available, 
you may have your minimum payment automatically deducted from your checking or savings 
account.  Payments  received  after  9:00  PM  (Eastern  Time)  each  day  will  be  considered 
received on the next business day. 
The minimum periodic payment required for VISA Smart Rate and VISA Smart Rewards will 
be either (a) 2.25% of your total new balance, minimum of $15 or (b) your total new balance if 
it is less than $15, plus (c) any portion of minimum payments shown on prior statements which 
remain unpaid and any other applicable charges. You will also be required to pay any amounts 
over your credit limit or past due amounts. 

VISA Smart Rate and VISA Smart Rewards payments will be applied first to billed fees, then 
to any previously billed and unpaid Finance Charges on purchases and cash advances, then 
to the principal balance of purchases in the order they were posted to your account and then 
to the principal balance of cash advances. If two or more purchases were posted on the same 
day, your payment will be applied to the lowest amount first.  However, in every case, in the 
event you make a payment in excess of the required minimum periodic payment, the Credit Union 
will allocate the excess amount first to the balance with the highest annual percentage rate and 
any remaining portion to the other balances in descending order based on applicable annual 
percentage rate. You understand that any payment that delays the repayment of Your unpaid 
balance will increase Your Finance Charge and any payment that accelerates the reduction of 
Your unpaid balance will decrease Your Finance Charges. 
CREDIT BALANCES: If there is a credit balance due you, you may request in writing a full 
refund of this credit balance at our address shown in this Agreement. 
SECURITY: You grant us a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code and under 
any common law rights the Credit Union may have in any goods you purchase. If you give the 
Credit Union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge of shares, your pledged 
shares will secure your account. You may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically 
pledged to secure your account until the Credit Union agrees to release all or part of the pledged 
amount. 

Your Account is secured by all other shares you have in any individual or joint account 
with the Credit Union, except for shares in an Individual Retirement Account or in any 
other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given 
as security. These other shares may be withdrawn unless you are in default under this 
agreement. You authorize the Credit Union to apply the balance in your individual or 
joint share accounts to pay any amounts due on your Account if you should default. 

CROSS-COLLATERAL: If you have other loans with us, or take out other loans with us in the 
future, collateral securing those loans will also secure your obligations under this Agreement. 
However, unless you expressly agree otherwise, no dwelling secures your obligation. 
DEFAULT: You will be in default: (1) if you fail to make any minimum payment or other required 
payment by the date that it is due, (2) if you break any promise you make under this Agreement, 
(3) if you die, file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, that is, unable to pay your obligations 
when they become due, (4) if any attachment or garnishment proceedings are initiated against 
you or your property, (5) if you default on any other indebtedness to the Credit Union, (6) if you 
make any false or misleading statement in any credit application or credit update,  or  (7) if 
something  happens  that  the  Credit Union  believes may  substantially  reduce  your  ability  to 
repay what you owe. 
When you are in default, the Credit Union has the right to demand immediate payment of your 
full account balance without notice. If immediate payment is demanded, you will continue to 
pay Finance Charges, at the periodic rate charged before default, until what you owe has been 
paid, and any shares that were given as security will be applied towards what you owe.  
If collections efforts are required by the Credit Union, you agree to pay all costs and expenses 
incurred in the collection of any sum due, and in addition, if the holder hereof, after default, 
shall place this note in the hands of an attorney or collection agency, for collection, to pay 
reasonable attorney’s fees, interest and fines due on this note at the time of the employment 
of such attorney or collection agency. 
CREDIT  INFORMATION:  You  understand  that  the  Credit  Union  will  review  your  accounts 
periodically, and you hereby give your permission to, and authorize the Credit Union to investigate 
and  reassess  your  creditworthiness.  You  authorize  the  Credit  Union  to  obtain  information 
concerning your credit history from all available sources now and in the future. You authorize the 
Credit Union to disclose information regarding your account to credit bureaus and creditors who 
inquire about your credit standing. 
LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE: You may be liable for the unauthorized use of the card. 
You will not be liable for unauthorized use that occurs after the issuer is notified, orally or in writing 
at the address shown in this Agreement. If your card is lost or stolen you must report it to us 
immediately. 
LOSS OR THEFT OF CARD: If your Card, PIN or Account Number are lost or stolen, you should 
immediately call (202) 224-2967 (within DC Metro Area) or 1 (800) 374-2758, Monday thru Friday, 
8:30am to 4:00 pm Eastern Time. After hours, call 1 (800) 682-6075. If overseas, call collect (206) 
352-4950. 
MERCHANT DISPUTES: The Credit Union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or 
financial institution to honor the card. The Credit Union is subject to claims and defenses (other 
than tort claim) arising out of goods or services you purchase with the card if you have made a 
good  faith  attempt  but  have  been  unable  to  obtain  satisfaction  from  the  merchant  or  service 
provider, and (a) your purchase was made in response to an advertisement the Credit Union sent 
or participated in sending to you; or (b) your purchases cost more than $50.00 and was made in 
your state or within 100 miles of your home. 
CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT: You agree that the Credit Union may change 
the terms of this Agreement from time to time after giving you any advance notice required by law 
at your last known address. To the extent the law permits, and indicated in the notice to you, the 
change will apply to your existing account balance as well as to future transactions. Your use of 
the card after receiving notice or a change will also indicate your agreement to the change.

CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE (continued) 

You may request an increase in your credit limit either by written application or by phone. The Credit 
Union  has  the  right  to  reduce  or  terminate  your  credit  limit  at  any  time.  You  understand  and 
acknowledge that such action shall not affect your obligation to pay any outstanding balance PLUS 
any finance and other charges you owe under this Agreement. Accounts that have been inactive 
for one (1) year may be subject to termination at the renewal date. The card(s) you receive remain 
the property of the Credit Union and you must recover and surrender to the Credit Union ALL cards 
upon request or upon termination of this Agreement whether by you or the Credit Union. 
FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS: When you use your Card at a merchant that settles in currency other 
than US dollars, the charge will be converted into the US dollar amount. The currency conversion 
rate used to determine the transaction amount in US dollars is either 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, plus 1 percent of the transaction amount, which 
may be billed separately on your account or included in the transaction amount. This 1% adjustment 
is  made  for  all  international  transactions  regardless  of  whether  there  is  a  currency  conversion 
associated with the transaction. The conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ 
from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date. 
EFFECT OF AGREEMENT/WAIVER: This Agreement is the contract which applies to all transactions 
on your account even though the sales, cash advances, credit or other slips you sign or receive may 
contain different terms. The Credit Union can delay enforcing any of its rights any number of times 
without  losing  them.  Each  provision  of  this  agreement  must  be  considered  as  part  of  the  total 
agreement and cannot in any way be severed from it. However, you also agree that should any part of 
this agreement be found invalid, it will in no way affect the remainder of the agreement. 
STATEMENT AND NOTICES: You will receive a statement each month showing transactions on 
your account. You are responsible for your minimum monthly payment even in the event your 
statement is late or returned to the Credit Union. Statements and notices will be mailed to you at 
the  most  recent  address  you  have  given  the  Credit  Union.  Notice  to  any  one  of  you  will  be 
considered notice to all. 
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN): We will furnish you with a Personal Identification 
Number (PIN). You agree to keep the PIN secret. You also agree you won't write the PIN on the 
Card or anything you keep with the card. Your use of the PIN and Card in getting a cash advance 
or making a purchase is agreed to constitute your signature for purposes of such transaction. 
USE OF CARD. You may use your Card to conduct any transaction or obtain any Credit Union 
service permitted by law. You agree that the use of the Card to obtain a service or effect a 
transaction  that  is  illegal  under  the  law  of  any  jurisdiction  where  originated,  affected  or 
accomplished will be a default and breach of this agreement. We may terminate the access to 
the service or withdraw the right to use the Card and/or demand the return of all Cards or other 
access devices issued to you. If illegal use of your Card occurs, you waive the right to sue Us, 
and agree to indemnify and hold Us harmless from any suits or other legal action or liability 
which may be asserted, directly or indirectly, against Us arising out of, or resulting from, the 
illegal use of the Card. 
GOVERNING  LAW:  Except  to  the  extent  that  Federal  Law  is  applicable,  the  laws  of  the 
Commonwealth  of  Virginia  shall  govern  the  validity,  construction  and  enforcement  of  this 
Agreement and all matters arising out of the issuance and use of the Card.

you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the 
amount in question. 

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 
When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 

1. 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. 

2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain why we 

believe the bill was 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 

  The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge

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. (Note: Neither of these 
are necessary 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: 
United States Senate Federal Credit Union  
National Capitol Station  
P.O. Box 77920 
Washington, DC 20013-8920 
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. 

By signing below you agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. You acknowledge receiving a copy and reading the Credit Card Agreement and 
Disclosure. You understand that this Agreement grants the Credit Union a Security Interest in all individual and joint accounts you have with the Credit Union, now and in the 
future with the exception of those accounts that would have an adverse tax consequence if pledged as collateral.
