PLATINUM CASH REWARDS VISA® AGREEMENT 
AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT 

In this Agreement, the words you and your mean each and all of those who apply for the account or who sign this Agreement.  Card means the Visa Credit Card and 
any duplicates and renewals we issue.  Account means your Visa Line of Credit Account with us.  We, us, and ours mean this credit union. 

RESPONSIBILITY  If  we  issue  you  a card,  you  agree to  repay  all debts 
1. 
and  the  FINANCE  CHARGE  arising  from  the  use  of  the  card  and  the  card 
Account.  For  example,  you  are  responsible  for  charges  made  by  yourself,  your 
spouse, and minor children. Use of the card by anyone else will be presumed to 
be  with  your  consent.  You  will  be  considered  responsible  for  all    resulting 
charges. You  must notify us in  writing  of  possible  unauthorized  use.  To  protect 
your  rights,  we  must hear  from you  no  later than 60  days  after we sent  the first 
statement  on  which  the  unauthorized  use  appeared.  Your  obligation  to  pay  the 
Account  balance  continues  even  though  an  agreement,  divorce  decree,  or  other 
court  judgment  to  which  we  are not  a  party  may  direct  you  or  one  of  the  other 
persons  responsible  to  pay  the  Account.  Any  and  all  persons  signing  on  the 
account  are  entitled  to  a  card  upon  request.  You  agree that  all transactions  that 
you initiate by use of the Card are legal in the jurisdiction where you live and/or 
the  transaction  occurs.  You  agree  to  repay  according  to  the  terms  of  this 
Agreement all transactions you initiate by use of the Card. 

2.  CREDIT  LINE  If  we  approve  your  application,  we  will  establish  a  self-
replenishing  Line  of  Credit  and  notify  you  of  its  amount  when  we  issue  the 
card. You agree not to let the Account balance exceed this approved Credit Line. 
Each  payment  will  restore  your  Credit  Line  by  the  amount  of  the  payment 
(excluding  any  over  limit  amount);  however,  SAFE  at  its  sole  and  absolute 
discretion, reserves the right to delay the restoration of your Credit Line for up to 
15 days. Finance charges and other charges will cease to accrue on the amount of 
payment  as  of  the  date  of  receipt.  You  may  request  an  increase  in  your  Credit 
Line  by  calling  SAFE's  Call Center or  by  visiting  any  SAFE  branch.  By  giving 
you  written notice,  your Credit Line  may be  reduced  from  time to  time, or  with 
good  cause,  your  card  may  be  revoked  and  this  Agreement  terminated.  Good 
cause  includes  your  failure  to  comply  with  this  Agreement,  or  our  adverse 
reevaluation of your creditworthiness.  You may also terminate this Agreement at 
any  time, but  termination by  either you  or us  does not  affect your  obligation  to 
pay the Account balance. The cards remain our property and you must surrender 
all cards upon our request and upon termination of this Agreement. 

3.  USING THE CARD To make a purchase or cash advance, present the card to 
a  participating  Visa  plan  merchant,  to  us,  or  to  another  financial  institution  and 
sign the sales or cash advance draft which will be imprinted with your card. You 
will receive a copy of the draft or receipt which you should retain to verify  your 
monthly  statement.  We  reserve  the  right  to  make  a  reasonable  charge  for 
photocopies  of  drafts  you  may  request,  as  disclosed  in  the  Fee  Schedule.  You 
may  also  make  advances  at  any  SAFE  ATM,  Network  ATM,  or  ATMs 
displaying  the  Visa  logo.  Internet  gambling  may  be  illegal in  the  jurisdiction in 
which you are located, including the United States. Your card may only  be used 
for legal transactions. Display of payment card logo by an online  merchant does 
not  mean  that  Internet  gambling  transactions  are  lawful  in  all  jurisdictions  in 
which you may be located. 

4.  MONTHLY  PAYMENTS We  will  apply  your  payments  first  to  FINANCE 
CHARGES, then  to  late  fees (if  any),  and then  to  the  principal  balance.  If  your 
account  has  balances  with  different  APRs,  we  will  allocate  the  amount  of  your 
payment  equal  to  the  Minimum  Payment  Due  to  the  lowest  APR  balances  first. 
Payment  amounts  in  excess  of  your  Minimum  Payment  Due  will  be  applied  to 
balances  with  higher  APRs  before  balances  with  lower  APRs.  Each  month  you 
must pay  at  least the Minimum  Payment by  the due  date on  your  statement. By 
separate  agreement,  you  may  authorize  us  to  charge  the  Minimum  Payment 
automatically to your Share Savings, SAFE Checking, or Money Market account. 
You  will  reduce  the  FINANCE  CHARGE  by  paying  more  frequently,  paying 
more than the Minimum Payment, or paying the Total New Balance in full. The 
Minimum  Payment  will  either  be  (a)  2%  of  your  Total  New  Balance,  or  $10, 
whichever is greater, or (b) your Total New Balance if it is less than $10 plus (c) 
any portion  of the Minimum Payment shown on prior  statements which  remains 
unpaid.  In  addition,  any  time  your  Total  New  Balance  exceeds  your  Approved 
Credit  Limit,  you  must  immediately  pay  any  amount  in  excess  of  your  credit 
limit. 

6.  CREDITS Merchants who honor your card and give you credit for returns or 
adjustments will provide us with a credit which we will post to your Account. If 
your  credits  and  payments  exceed  what  you  owe  us,  we  will  apply  this  credit 
balance  against  future  purchases  and  cash  advances,  or  refund  it  upon  your 
written request if it is $1 or more. Any credit balance not cleared within 30 days 
will be transferred to your Share Savings Account. 

7.  FOREIGN  TRANSACTION  EXCHANGE  RATE  The  exchange  rate 
between  the  transaction  currency  and  the  billing  currency  used  for  processing 
international  transactions  is  a  rate  selected  by  Visa  from  the  range  of  rates 
available  in  wholesale  currency  markets  for  the  applicable  central  processing 
date,  which may  vary  from  the  rate  Visa  itself  receives,  or  the  government-
mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. 

8.  FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE A fee of up to 1 percent of the transaction 
amount is charged for transactions conducted outside the United States. 

9.  PLAN MERCHANT DISPUTES We  are  not  responsible  for  the  refusal  of 
any plan  merchant  or  financial  institution to  honor  your  card. We  are subject to 
claims and defenses (other than tort claims) arising out of goods or services you 
purchase with the card only if you have made a good faith attempt, but have been 
unable to obtain satisfaction from the plan merchant, and: (a) your purchase was 
made in response  to an advertisement  we sent or participated in sending you; or 
(b)  your  purchase  cost  more  than  $50  and  was  made  from  a  plan  merchant  in 
your  state  or  within  100  miles  of  your  home.  You  must  resolve    any    other 
disputes directly with the plan merchant. 

10.  DEFAULT  You  will  be  in  default  if  you  fail  to  make  any  Minimum 
Payment within 10 days of the Payment Due Date. You will also be in default if 
your  ability  to  repay  is  materially  reduced  by  an  increase  in  your  obligations, 
bankruptcy,  insolvency  proceeding  involving  you,  your  death,  your  failure  to 
abide by the Agreement, or if you have made or do make any false or misleading 
statements  in  furnishing  your  financial  information  and  other  information  to  us. 
We have the right to demand  immediate payment in full of your  Account  if you 
default,  subject  to  our  giving  you  any  notice  required  by  law.  To  the  extent 
permitted  by  law,  you  will  also  be  required  to  pay  our  collection  expenses, 
including court costs and reasonable attorney fees. 

11.  CREDIT  INFORMATION  You  authorize  us  to  investigate  your  credit 
standing when opening, renewing, or reviewing your Account, and you authorize 
us  to  disclose  information  regarding  your  Account  to  credit  bureaus  and  other 
creditors  who  inquire  about  your  credit  standing  to  the  extent  authorized  in  our 
bylaws. As required by law, you are hereby notified  that a negative credit report 
reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit reporting  agency if 
you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. 

12.  CREDIT  LIFE  AND  DISABILITY  You  understand  that  Credit  Life  and 
Disability  Insurance  is  not  required  by  us  to  obtain  your  loan.  If  selected,  you 
acknowledge receiving a  copy of the Credit Insurance Application/Schedule  and 
have  made the  choice of  insurance  coverage indicated thereon.  The  cost  of  any 
insurance  you  have  chosen  is  added  to  your  balance  monthly  and  will  accrue 
FINANCE CHARGES from the day the cost is added. 

13.  EFFECT OF AGREEMENT This agreement is the contract which applies 
to  all  transactions  on  your  Account  even  though  sales,  cash  advances,  or  credit 
slips  may  contain  different  terms.  We  may  amend  this  agreement  from  time  to 
time  by  sending  you  the  advance  written  notice  required  by  law.  To  the  extent 
permitted by law, and as indicated in our notice, amendments will apply to your 
existing  Account  balance  as  well  as  future  transactions.  We  reserve  the  right  to 
review  your  credit  and  either  increase  or  decrease  your  credit  limit  or  APR  for 
new  balances.  APR  increases  will  not  impact  existing  balances  unless  you  are 
more  than  60  days  late  with  a  payment  or  unless  otherwise  permitted  by 
applicable law. 

5.  LATE FEES If your payment is not received within 15 days of the Payment 
Due Date shown on your monthly statement, you will be charged a late fee of $15 
or minimum payment amount, whichever is less. 

14.  NON-WAIVER  PROVISION  We  can  delay  enforcing  any  of  our  rights 
under  this  Agreement  without  losing  them.  If  any  terms  of  this  Agreement  are 
found to be unenforceable, all other provisions will remain in full force. 

15.  FINANCE CHARGE – Your account will be subject to a FINANCE CHARGE (interest) at the periodic rate of 1.103% - 1.603% per month which corresponds to 
an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of  13.24% - 19.24% on the Purchase, Advance and Balance Transfer Average Daily Balances. This rate is a variable rate which 
may be changed monthly based on the movements of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which is the Prime Rate published the 15th of each month in the Wall Street 
Journal, Western Edition, plus 9.24 - 15.24 percentage points. There is no limitation on the amount of increase in the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE. An increase in 
the Prime Rate will result in an increase in the amount of your FINANCE CHARGE, minimum periodic payment, and Outstanding Balance. We figure the interest 
charge on your account by applying the 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, advances and fees, and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits. 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. This gives us the “average 
daily balance."

(continued from reverse) 
16. PAYING INTEREST You have until the payment due date (25 days from the billing cycle) to pay your balance in full before a FINANCE CHARGE (interest) is 
assessed on the purchase balance. If you do not pay your balance in full by the payment due date, you will be charged a FINANCE CHARGE on the then outstanding 
purchase balance and on future purchases from the transaction date. If during the previous billing cycle you Paid in Full by the Payment Due Date, then in the current 
billing  cycle  you  will  have  a Grace Period  on the amount of  the  Purchase  balance remaining  from  the previous  billing  cycle that is paid by  the  Payment Due Date, 
based on our payment allocation method. We will begin charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers as of the transaction date. 

17. CASH ADVANCE FEE For each cash advance (excluding cash advances taken at any SAFE ATM, through CALL-24, or Online Banking) there is a transaction 
charge equal to 3% of the amount of the advance or $10, whichever is greater.  The charge will be billed to your monthly Visa statement. 

18. INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT An interest rate adjustment will occur when your account is 60 days or more past due. If your account is 60 days past due, 
the  interest  rate  for  existing  and  new  balances  will  be  increased  to  an  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  of  21.90%.  This  interest  rate  increase  will  be  effective 
beginning after 45-day notice is provided to you. The interest rate adjustment will terminate if you make the required minimum payments for six consecutive months.

 Benefit Information  
What is this benefit? 

Warranty Manager Service provides you with valuable features to help manage, use and even extend the 
warranties of eligible items purchased with your Visa card. You can access these features with a simple toll- 
free call. Services include Warranty Registration and Extended Warranty Protection. 

Who is eligible for this benefit? 

You are eligible if you are a valid cardholder of an eligible Visa card issued in the United States. 

Why should I use Warranty Registration to register my purchases? 

You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your purchases’ warranty information is registered and on    
file. Although Warranty Registration is not required for Extended Warranty Protection benefits, you are 
encouraged to take advantage of this valuable service. When arranging for a repair or replacement, instead of 
searching for critical documents, you can just pick up the phone and call the Benefit Administrator. 

How do I register my purchases? 

To register an eligible purchase call 1-800-551-8472, or call collect outside the U.S. at 303-967-1096. 
The Benefit Administrator will provide the address to which you can send in the item’s sales receipt and 
warranty information so this key information can be kept on file for you. 

How does Extended Warranty Protection work? 

Extended Warranty Protection doubles the time period of the original manufacturer’s written U.S. repair 
warranty up to one (1) additional year on eligible warranties of three (3) years or less for items purchased 
entirely with your eligible Visa card. 
This benefit is limited to no more than the original price of the purchased item (as shown on your Visa card 
receipt), less shipping and handling fees, up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim

 Benefit Information  
What is the Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver (“Auto Rental CDW”) benefit? 

The Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver (“Auto Rental CDW”) benefit offers insurance coverage for 
automobile rentals made with your Visa card. The benefit provides reimbursement (subject to the terms 
and conditions in this guide) for damage due to collision or theft up to the actual cash value of most 
rental vehicles. 

Who is eligible for this benefit? 

You are eligible only if you are a valid cardholder whose name is embossed on an eligible Visa card issued 
in the United States. Only you as the primary renter of the vehicle and any additional drivers permitted by 
the auto rental agreement are covered. 

What losses are covered? 

The benefit provides reimbursement up to the actual cash value of the vehicle as it was originally 
manufactured. Most private passenger automobiles, minivans, and sport utility vehicles are eligible, but 
some restrictions may apply. Please contact the Benefit Administrator to inquire about a specific vehicle. 
Covered  losses  include: 
 Physical damage and/or theft of the covered 

 Reasonable and customary towing charges, 

rental vehicle 

 Valid  loss-of-use  charges imposed  and 

substantiated by the auto rental company 

due to covered theft or damage, to the nearest 
qualified repair facility 

Please Note: This benefit only covers vehicle rental periods that neither exceed nor are intended 
to exceed fifteen (15) consecutive days within your country of residence or thirty-one (31) 
consecutive days outside your country of residence. 

How does this coverage work with other insurance? 

Within your country of residence, this benefit supplements, and applies excess of, any valid and collectible 
insurance or reimbursement from any source. This means that, subject to the terms and conditions of this 
benefit, Auto Rental CDW applies to eligible theft or damage or expenses that are not covered by insurance or 
reimbursement. 
If you do not have personal automobile insurance or any other insurance covering this theft or damage, 
this benefit reimburses you for the covered theft or damage as well as valid administrative and loss-of-use 
charges imposed by the auto rental company and reasonable towing charges that occur while you are 
responsible for the rental vehicle. 
If you do have personal automobile insurance or other insurance covering this theft or damage, the Auto 
Rental CDW benefit reimburses you for the deductible portion of your personal automobile insurance and any 
unreimbursed portion of valid administrative and loss-of-use charges imposed by the auto rental company,  
as well as reasonable towing charges resulting from covered theft or damage of the rental vehicle while it is 
your responsibility. 

What types of rental vehicles are not covered? 

The following vehicles are not covered by Auto Rental CDW: expensive, exotic, and antique automobiles; 
certain vans; vehicles that have an open cargo bed; trucks; motorcycles, mopeds, and motorbikes; 
limousines; and recreational vehicles. 

 Examples of excluded expensive or exotic 

automobiles include: the Aston Martin, Bentley, 
Bricklin,  Daimler,  DeLorean,  Excalibur,  Ferrari, 
Jensen,  Lamborghini,  Lotus,  Maserati,  Porsche, 
and Rolls Royce. However, selected models of 
BMW,  Mercedes-Benz,  Cadillac,  and  Lincoln 
are covered. 

 An antique automobile is defined as any vehicle 
over twenty (20) years old or any vehicle that has 
not been manufactured for ten (10) years or more. 

 Vans are not covered, with the exception of 

those manufactured and designed specifically 
as small group transportation vehicles (for a 
maximum of eight (8) people including the driver).

days within your country of residence or 
thirty-one (31) consecutive days outside your 
country of residence

Ireland, or Northern Ireland 

This benefit is available in the United States and most foreign countries. However, no benefit is provided 
for motor vehicles rented in Israel, Jamaica, the Republic of Ireland, or Northern Ireland. 
Additionally, this benefit is not available where precluded by law or in violation of the territory terms of the auto 
rental agreement or prohibited by individual merchants. Because regulations vary outside the United 
States, it is recommended you check with your auto rental company and the Benefit Administrator 
before you travel to make sure Auto Rental CDW will apply. 
This benefit is in effect while the rental vehicle remains in your control or in the control of an authorized 
driver permitted to operate the rental vehicle in accordance with the rental agreement between you and 
the auto rental company. This benefit terminates when the auto rental company re-assumes control of the 
rental vehicle. 

How do I make sure my Auto Rental CDW benefit is in effect? 

To be sure you are covered, take the following steps when you rent a vehicle: 

1 

Initiate and complete the entire rental 
transaction with your eligible Visa card. 

2 

Decline the auto rental company’s collision 
damage waiver (CDW/LDW) option or similar 
provision. 

Helpful tips: 
 Be sure to check the rental vehicle for prior damage before leaving the rental lot. 
 Review the auto rental agreement carefully to make sure you are declining CDW/LDW and are 

familiar with the terms and conditions of the auto rental agreement. 

What if the auto rental company insists that I purchase the auto rental company’s auto insurance or 
collision damage waiver? 

Call the Benefit Administrator for help at 1-800-348-8472. If you are outside the United States, 
call collect at 804-673-1164.

Filing an Auto Rental CDW Claim 

What do I do if I have an accident or the rental vehicle is stolen? 

Immediately call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-348-8472 to report the theft or damage 
regardless of whether your liability has been established. If you are outside the United States, call collect

When should I report an incident? 

You should report theft or damage as soon as possible, but no later than forty-five (45) days*    
from the date of the incident. The Benefit Administrator reserves the right to deny any claim that contains 
charges that would not have been included had the Benefit Administrator been notified before those 
expenses were incurred, so you are advised to notify the Benefit Administrator immediately after 
any incident. 

Please Note: You must make every reasonable effort to protect the rental vehicle from theft 
or damage.  As the cardholder you are responsible for reporting your claim to the Benefit 
Administrator immediately. Reporting an incident to someone other than the Benefit Administrator 
will not fulfill this obligation. 

What do I need from the auto rental company in order to file a claim? 

At the time of the theft or damage, or when you return the rental vehicle, immediately ask the auto rental 
company for:

document, which should indicate the costs you 
are responsible for and any amounts that have 
been paid toward the claim

agreement(s) 

repair bill 

 Two (2) photographs of the damaged vehicle, 

if available

How do I file a claim? 

Submit the documents gathered from the auto rental company (listed above) along with the following 
additional documents to the Benefit Administrator:

form. Please Note: Your completed claim form 
must be postmarked within ninety (90) days* of 
the date of the theft or damage, even if all other 
required documentation is not yet available, or 
your claim may be denied 

 A copy of your receipt or monthly billing statement 
as proof that the entire vehicle rental was charged 
and paid for with your eligible Visa card 

 A statement from your insurance carrier (and/or 
your employer or employer’s insurance carrier, 
if applicable) or other reimbursement showing 
the costs for which you are responsible and 

any amounts that have been paid toward the 
claim. Or, if you have no applicable insurance 
or reimbursement, a notarized statement of no 
insurance or reimbursement is required 
 A copy of your primary insurance policy's 

Declarations Page to confirm your deductible. 
“Declarations Page” means the document(s) in 
your insurance policy that lists names, coverages, 
limits, effective dates and deductibles. 

 Any other documentation deemed necessary by 

the Benefit Administrator to substantiate 
the claim 

Please Note: All remaining documents must be postmarked within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days 
of the date of theft or damage. If you have difficulty obtaining the required documents within ninety (90) 
days* of the date of theft or damage, submit the claim form with available documentation.

Auto Rental CDW Benefit Administrator has received all documentation necessary to fully substantiate your 
claim. 
After the Benefit Administrator has paid your claim, all your rights and remedies against any party in respect

made to you. You must give the Benefit Administrator all assistance as may reasonably be required to secure

State Amendments

For Illinois Residents Only the following statement is added: If a Covered Person recovers expenses for sickness 
or injury that occurred due to the negligence of a third party, the Company has the right to first reimbursement for 
all benefits the Company paid from any and all damages collected from the negligent third party for those same 
expenses whether by action at law, settlement, or compromise, by the Covered Person, the Covered Person’s 
parents if the Covered Person is a minor, or the Covered Person’s legal representative as a result of that sickness 
or injury. You are required to furnish any information or assistance, or provide any documents that we may 
reasonably require in order to exercise our rights under this provision. This provision applies whether or not the 
third party admits liability. 
1  Your spouse, unmarried dependent child(ren), under age nineteen (19) [twenty-five (25) if a full-time 
student]. No age limit for incapacitated child. Incapacitated child means a child incapable of self-sustaining 
employment by reason of mental retardation or physical handicap, and chiefly dependent on you for support and

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR TRAVEL ACCIDENT INSURANCE

Travel Accident Insurance is provided under a master policy of insurance issued by Virginia Surety Company, Inc. 
(herein referred to as “Company”). We reserve the right to change the benefits and features of all these programs. 
The financial institution or the Company can cancel or choose not to renew the Insurance coverages for all 
Insureds. If this happens, the financial institution will notify the accountholder at least thirty (30) days in advance  
of the expiration of the policy. Such notices need not be given if substantially similar replacement coverage takes 
effect without interruption and is provided by the same insurer. Insurance benefits will still apply to Covered Trips 
commenced prior to the date of such cancellation or non-renewal, provided all other terms and conditions of 
coverage are met. Travel Accident Insurance does not apply if your SAFE Platinum Rewards Visa card privileges 
have been suspended or canceled. However, insurance benefits will still apply to Covered Trips commenced prior 
to the date that your account is suspended or canceled provided all other terms and conditions of coverage are 
met. 
Coverage will be void if, at any time, the accountholder has concealed or misrepresented any material fact 
or circumstance concerning this coverage or the subject thereof or the accountholder’s interest herein, or 
in the case of any fraud or false swearing by the Insured relating thereto. No person or entity other than the 
accountholder shall have any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim for insurance proceeds and/or damages 
under or arising out of this coverage. 
No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover on this coverage prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days 
after proof of loss has been furnished in accordance with the requirements of this Description of Coverage. 
The Company, at its expense, has the right to have you examined as often as reasonably necessary while a claim 
is pending. The Company may also have an autopsy made unless prohibited by law.
