CONSUMER CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT

In  this  Agreement,  “Agreement”  means  this  Consumer  Credit  Card  Agreement.  “Disclosure”  means  the  Credit  Card 
Account Opening Disclosure. The Account Opening Disclosure is incorporated into this Consumer Credit Card Agreement 
and  is  part  of  the  Agreement.  In  this  Agreement  the  words  "you,"  “your,”  and  "yours"  mean  each  and  all  of  those  who 
agree to be bound by this Agreement; "card" means the Visa credit card and any duplicates, renewals, or substitutions the 
Credit Union issues to you; "account" means your Visa credit card line-of-credit account with the Credit Union; and "Credit 
Union" means the Credit Union whose name appears on this Agreement or anyone to whom the Credit Union transfers 
this Agreement. 
1.  USING YOUR ACCOUNT — If you are approved for an account, the Credit Union will establish a line of credit for you. 
You  agree  that  your  credit  limit  is  the  maximum  amount  (purchases,  cash  advances,  finance  charges,  plus  "other 
charges") which you will have outstanding on your account at any time. Unless disclosed otherwise, the Credit Union will 
not allow advances over the credit limit. If the Credit Union has a program whereby it allows payment of advances that 
exceed  your  credit  limit,  subject  to  a  fee,  the  Credit  Union  will  provide  you  with  notice,  either  orally,  in  writing,  or 
electronically (notwithstanding the requirements of the paragraph entitled “Statements and Notices”) explaining your right 
to opt in to the Credit Union’s program whereby it will honor advance requests over the credit limit. In the event you opt in 
to such a program, you agree to the terms of such a program. You may request an increase in your credit limit only by a 
method acceptable to the Credit Union. The Credit Union may increase or decrease your credit limit, refuse to make an 
advance and/or  terminate your  account  at  any  time  for  any  reason  not prohibited  by  law.  If you  are  permitted  to  obtain 
cash advances on your account, we may, from time to time, issue convenience checks to you that may be drawn on your 
account. Convenience checks may not be used to make a payment on your account balance. If you use a convenience 
check, it will be posted to your account as a cash advance. We reserve the right to refuse to pay a convenience check 
drawn on your account for any reason and such refusal shall not constitute wrongful dishonor. 
You may request that we stop the payment of a convenience check drawn on your account. You agree to pay any fee 
imposed  to  stop  a  payment  on  a  convenience  check  issued  on  your  account.  You  may  make  a  stop  payment  request 
orally,  if  permitted,  or  in  writing.  Your  request  must  be  made  with  sufficient  time  in  advance  of  the  presentment  of  the 
check for payment to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on your request. In addition, your request must accurately 
describe the check including the exact account number, the  payee, any check number that may be applicable, and the 
exact amount of the check. If permitted, you may make a stop payment request orally but such a request will expire after 
14 days unless you confirm your request in writing within that time. Written stop payment orders are effective only for six 
(6) months and may be renewed for additional six month periods by requesting in writing that the stop payment order be 
renewed. We are not required to notify you when a stop payment order expires. If we re-credit your account after paying a 
check or draft over a valid and timely stop payment order, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute with the 
payee, to assign to us all of your rights against the payee or other holders of the check or draft and to assist us in any 
legal  action.  You  agree  to  indemnify  and  hold  us  harmless  from  all  costs  and  expenses,  including  attorney's  fees, 
damages, or claims, related to our honoring your stop payment request or in failing to stop payment of an item as a result 
of incorrect information provided to us or the giving of inadequate time to act upon a stop payment request.  
2.  USING YOUR CARD — You understand that the use of your credit card will constitute acknowledgement of receipt 
and agreement to the terms of the Credit Card Agreement and Credit Card Account Opening Disclosure (Disclosure). You 
may  use  your  card  to  make  purchases  from  merchants  and  others  who  accept  your  card.  The  credit  union  is  not 
responsible  for  the  refusal  of  any  merchant  or  financial  institution  to  honor  your  card.  If  you  wish  to  pay  for  goods  or 
services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted 
to  complete  the  transaction.  In  addition,  you  may  obtain  cash  advances  from  the  Credit  Union,  from  other  financial 
institutions that accept your card, and from some automated teller machines (ATMs). (Not all ATMs accept your card.) If 
the credit union authorizes ATM transactions with your card, it will issue you a personal identification number (PIN). To 
obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the PIN issued to you for use with your card. You agree that you will 
not use your card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law. Even if you use your card 
for an illegal transaction, you will be responsible for all amounts and charges incurred in connection with the transaction. If 
you  are  permitted  to  obtain  cash  advances  on  your  account,  you  may  also  use  your  card  to  purchase  instruments  and 
engage in transactions that we consider the equivalent of cash. Such transactions will be posted to your account as cash 
advances and include, but are not limited to, wire transfers, money orders, bets, lottery tickets, and casino gaming chips, 
as applicable. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as permitting or authorizing any transaction that is illegal. 
3.  PROMISE  TO  PAY  —  You  promise  to  pay  all  charges  (purchases,  cash  advances,  balance  transfers,  use  of 
convenience checks or any other charge) made to your account by you or anyone you authorize to use your account. You

also promise to pay all finance charges and other charges added to your account under the terms of this Agreement or 
another agreement you made with the Credit Union. If this is a joint account, the paragraph on JOINT ACCOUNTS also 
applies to your account. 
4.  PERIODIC  RATES  —  The  periodic  rates  applicable  to  purchases,  cash  advances,  and  balance  transfers  are 
disclosed on the Disclosure that accompanies this Agreement. Any penalty rate that may be imposed for failing to make a 
payment  by  the  payment  due  date  is  also  disclosed  on  the  Disclosure.  Any  rate  change  will  be  made  pursuant  to 
applicable law. If the rate for your account is variable, as indicated on the accompanying Disclosure, the rate charged on 
purchases,  cash  advances,  balance  transfers  and  any  penalty  rate  will  vary  periodically  as  disclosed  in  the  Disclosure 
accompanying this Agreement. The initial rate on your account for certain types of transactions may be an introductory 
discounted rate (Introductory Rate) that is lower than the rate that would ordinarily apply for that type of transaction. If an 
Introductory Rate applies to your account, the rates and the period of time it will be effective is shown on the Disclosure 
accompanying this Agreement. After the Introductory Rate period expires, the periodic rate will automatically increase to 
the rates that would ordinarily apply for that type of transaction based on the terms of this Agreement.  
5.  FINANCE CHARGES — New purchases posted to your account during a billing cycle will not incur a finance charge 
for  that  billing  cycle.  Finance  charge  begins  to  accrue  on  those  purchases  from  the  first  day  of  the  next  billing  cycle, 
unless  you  paid  the  entire  new  balance  on  the  previous  cycle’s  billing  statement  by  the  payment  due  date  of  that 
statement. To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of purchases, you must pay the entire new balance on 
the  billing  statement  by  the  payment  due  date  of  that  statement.  A  finance  charge  begins  to  accrue  on  cash  advances 
from the date you get the cash advance or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the cash advance is posted to 
your account, whichever is later. 
The  finance  charge  is  calculated  separately  for  purchases  and  cash  advances.  For  purchases,  the  finance  charge  is 
computed by applying the periodic rate to the average daily balance of purchases. To get the average daily balance of 
purchases, we take the beginning outstanding balance of purchases each day and subtract any payments and/or credits 
that we apply to the purchase balance. (We do not add in any purchases posted during the billing cycle.) This gives us the 
daily balance of purchases. Then, we add all the daily balances of purchases for the billing cycle together and divide the 
total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of purchases.  
For cash  advances,  the  finance charge  is computed  by  applying  the  periodic rate  to  the  average daily balance  of cash 
advances.  To  get  the  average  daily  balance  of  cash  advances,  we  take  the  beginning  outstanding  balance  of  cash 
advances each day, add in any new cash advances, and subtract any payments and/or credits that we apply to the cash 
advance  balance.  This  gives  us  the  daily  balance  of  cash  advances.  Then,  we  add  all  the  daily  balances  of  cash 
advances for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the 
average daily balance of cash advances. Balance transfers are calculated in the same manner as cash advances. 
6.  FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS — Purchases and cash advances made in foreign currencies will be debited from your 
account in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing 
international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a 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. The exchange rate used on the processing date may differ from 
the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or cardholder statement posting date. 
A fee (finance charge), calculated in U.S. dollars, will be imposed on all multiple currency foreign transactions, including 
purchases, cash advances and credits to your account. A fee (finance charge), calculated in U.S. dollars, will be imposed 
on  all  single  currency  foreign  transactions,  including  purchases,  cash  advances  and  credits  to  your  account.  A  foreign 
transaction is any transaction that you complete or a merchant completes on your card outside of the United States, with 
the exception of U.S. military bases, U.S. territories, U.S. embassies or U.S. consulates. The Foreign Transaction Fee is 
set forth on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement. 
7.  FEES — In addition to the periodic rate, the following additional fees may be imposed on your account. If applicable to 
your  account,  the  fee  amounts  and  explanations  are  disclosed  on  the  Disclosure  accompanying  this  Agreement.  Your 
account may also be subject to additional fees as set forth on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement. 
a.  Annual Fee. If your account is subject to an Annual Fee, the fee will be charged to your account upon the issuance of 
your card. Each year following, the annual fee will be charged to your account during the same month that you were first 
charged the fee. The fee will be charged each year until your account is closed and paid in full. 
b.  Additional Card Fee. If your account is subject to an Additional Card Fee, a fee will be charged for each additional 
card issued to you at account opening. 
c. 
your account for a period as described on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement. 
d.  Balance Transfer Fee. If your account is subject to a Balance Transfer Fee, the fee will be charged to your account 
when you transfer a balance from an account of another creditor to the account subject to this Agreement. 
e.  Cash Advance Fee (Finance Charge). If your account is subject to a Cash Advance Fee (finance charge), the fee 
will  be  charged  to  your  account  when  you  obtain  a  cash  advance  from  an  ATM,  the  Credit  Union  or  other  financial 
institution.  

Inactivity Fee. If your account is subject to an Inactivity Fee, a fee will be charged when there has been no activity on 

DWIIP0 (MXC500)-e 

 
f.  Foreign  Transaction  Fee  (Finance  Charge).  If  your  account  is  subject  to  a  Foreign  Transaction  Fee  (finance 
charge), a fee may be charged to your account for transactions made outside of the United States or in a foreign currency.  
g.  Late Payment Fee. A late fee will be charged to your account if you make your payment later than the fifth day after 
the payment's due date. 
h.  Over-the-Credit Limit Fee. If you have elected the feature to allow your account to go over your credit limit, we may 
charge you a fee as allowed by law. However, in no case will we impose an over-the-limit fee except in the next two billing 
cycles unless you have obtained an additional extension of credit in excess of such credit limit during each subsequent 
cycle or you have reduced the balance below the credit limit as of the end of each bill cycle. 
i.  Statement Copy Fee. If your account is subject to a Statement Copy Fee, except as limited by applicable law and 
when  the  request  is  made  in  connection  with  a  billing  error  made  by  the  credit  union,  a  fee  may  be  charged  to  your 
account for each copy of a sales draft or statement that you request. 
j.  Document Copy Fee. If your account is subject to a Document Copy Fee, except as limited by applicable law, a fee 
may be charged to your account for each copy of a sales draft or statement that you request (except when the request is 
made in connection with a billing error made by the Credit Union). 
k.  Rush Fee. If your account is subject to a Rush Fee, except as limited by applicable law, a fee may be charged to your 
account  for  each  rush  card  that  you  request,  providing  delivery  of  the  card  is  also  available  by  standard  mail  service, 
without paying a fee for delivery. 
l.  Card  Replacement  Fee.  If  your  account  is  subject  to  a  Card  Replacement  Fee,  a  fee  will  be  charged  for  each 
replacement card that is issued to you for any reason. 
m.  Stop Payment on Convenience Check Fee. If your account is subject to the Stop Payment on Convenience Check 
Fee, a fee will be charged to your account as disclosed on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement. 
n.  Returned Convenience Check Fee. If your account is subject to the Returned Convenience Check Fee, a fee will be 
charged to your account as disclosed on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement. 
8.  PAYMENTS  —  Each  month  you  must  pay  at  least  the  minimum  payment  shown  on  your  statement  by  the  date 
specified  on  the  statement.  You  may  pay  more  frequently,  pay  more  than  the  minimum  payment  or  pay  the  total  new 
balance in full. If you make extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least the minimum payment each 
month your account has a balance (other than a credit balance). For our Visa Platinum, the minimum payment is 2.00% of 
your total new balance, or $15.00, whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that you have 
not made, and any amount you are over your credit limit. For our Visa Platinum Rewards, the minimum payment is 2.00% 
of your total new balance, or $15.00, whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that you have 
not made, and any amount you are over your credit limit. For our Visa Student, the minimum payment is 4.00% of your 
total  new  balance,  or  $15.00,  whichever  is  greater,  plus  the  amount  of  any  prior  minimum  payments  that  you  have  not 
made, and any amount you are over your credit limit. For our Visa Secured, the minimum payment is 2.00% of your total 
new balance, or $15.00, whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that you have not made, 
and  any  amount  you  are  over  your  credit  limit.  In  addition  to  the  minimum  payment,  you  must  also  pay,  by  the  date 
specified above, the amount of any prior minimum payment(s) that you have not made, all outstanding unpaid fees and 
charges,  and  any  amount  you  are  over  your  credit  limit.  The  Credit  Union  also  has  the  right  to  demand  immediate 
payment of any amount by which you are over your credit limit.  
9.  PAYMENT ALLOCATION — Subject to applicable law, your payments may be applied to what you owe the Credit 
Union in any manner the Credit Union chooses. 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.  
10.  SECURITY  INTEREST  —  You  grant  the  Credit  Union  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. 

Collateral securing other loans you have with the Credit Union may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never 
be considered as security for this account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement.  
11.  DEFAULT  —  Upon  default,  the  entire  outstanding  balance  due  under  this  Agreement  shall,  unless  excused  by  our 
Board of Directors, become immediately due and payable, subject only to any right to cure default which you may have 
under  Section  425.105  of  the  Wisconsin  Statutes.  A  default  shall  be  deemed  to  have  occurred  if  (a)  you  fail  to  make 

DWIIP0 (MXC500)-e 

 
payments when due on two occasions within any 12-month period, or (b) you fail to observe any other covenant of this 
Agreement, you or your spouse die, change marital status, change marital domicile or become insolvent or subject of a 
bankruptcy  or  other  insolvency  proceeding,  if  such  failure,  act  or  occurrence  materially  impairs  your  ability  to  pay  the 
amount  due  under  this  Agreement  or  breach  of  which  materially  impairs  the  condition,  value  or  protection  of  the 
merchant's rights in any collateral securing the transaction. In addition, notwithstanding Sections 425.103 and 425.105 of 
the Wisconsin Statutes, in the event we receive a notice of termination of this Agreement from the spouse of a borrower 
pursuant  to  Section  766.565(5),  Wisconsin  Statutes,  we  may  declare  the  entire  outstanding  balance  of  the  Agreement 
immediately due and payable. If immediate payment is demanded, you agree to continue paying finance charges at the 
periodic rate charged before the default, until what you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security for 
your account may be applied towards what you owe. 
12.  LIABILITY  FOR  UNAUTHORIZED  USE-LOST/STOLEN  CARD  NOTIFICATION  —  You  agree  to  notify  us 
immediately, orally or in writing, at Card Operations, University of Wisconsin Credit Union, PO Box 44963, Madison, WI 
53744-4963 or telephone (800) 310-7080 seven (7) days a week, 24 hours a day, of the loss, theft, or unauthorized use of 
your credit card. You may be liable for the unauthorized use of your credit card. You will not be liable for unauthorized use 
that occurs after you notify us of the loss, theft, or possible unauthorized use. You will have no liability for unauthorized 
purchases made with your credit card, unless you are grossly  negligent in the handling of your card. In any case, your 
liability will not exceed $50.00. 
13.  CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT — As permitted by law, the Credit Union may change the terms 
of this Agreement and any attached Disclosure from time to time. Notice of any change will be given in accordance with 
applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, changes to the Agreement may apply to your existing account balance as 
well as to future transactions.  
Either  you,  your  spouse  or  the  Credit  Union  may  terminate  this  Agreement  at  any  time,  but  termination  by  you,  your 
spouse or the Credit Union will not affect your obligation to pay the account balance plus any finance and other charges 
you  or  your  spouse  owe  under  this  Agreement.  Your  obligation  to  pay  the  account  balance  plus  any  finance  and  other 
charges  you  owe  under  this  agreement  are  subject  to  all  applicable  laws  and  regulations  regarding  repayment 
requirements. 
The card or cards 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.  
14.  CHANGING  OR  TERMINATING  AUTHORIZED  USERS  —  Upon  your  request,  we  may  issue  additional  cards  for 
authorized  users  that  you  designate.  You  must  notify  us  in  writing  of  any  termination  of  an  authorized  user's  right  to 
access  your  account.  Your  letter  must  include  the  name  of  the  authorized  user  and  your  account  number  and/or  any 
subaccount  number  issued  to  the  authorized  user  along  with  the  authorized  user's  card  and  any  convenience  or  other 
access checks issued to the authorized user. If you cannot return the authorized user's card or access checks and if you 
request your account to be closed, we will close your account and you may apply for a new account. 
15.  CREDIT REVIEW AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION — You authorize the Credit Union to investigate your credit 
standing when opening or reviewing your account. You authorize the Credit Union to disclose information regarding your 
account to credit bureaus and creditors who inquire about your credit standing. If your account is eligible for emergency 
cash  and/or  emergency  card  replacement  services,  and  you  request  such  services,  you  agree  that  we  may  provide 
personal information about you and your account that is necessary to provide you with the requested service(s). 
16.  RETURNS  AND  ADJUSTMENTS  —  Merchants  and  others  who  honor  your  card  may  give  credit  for  returns  or 
adjustments, and they will do so by sending the Credit Union a credit slip which will be posted to your account. If  your 
credits and payments exceed what you owe the Credit Union, the amount will be applied against future purchases and 
cash  advances.  If  the  credit  balance  amount  is  $1.00  or  more,  it  will  be  refunded  upon  your  written  request  or 
automatically after six (6) months. 
17.  ADDITIONAL  BENEFITS/CARD  ENHANCEMENTS  —  The  Credit  Union  may  from  time  to  time  offer  additional 
services to your account, such as travel accident insurance, at no additional cost to you. You understand that the Credit 
Union is not obligated to offer such services and may withdraw or change them at any time. 
18.  MERCHANT DISPUTES — The Credit Union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution 
to  honor  your  card.  The  Credit  Union  is  subject  to  claims  and  defenses  (other  than  tort  claims)  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 purchase cost more than $50.00 and was made in your state or within 
100 miles of your home. 
19.  JOINT ACCOUNTS — If this is a joint account, each of you will be individually and jointly responsible for paying all 
amounts owed under this Agreement. This means that the Credit Union can require any one of you individually to repay 
the entire amount owed under this Agreement. Each of you authorizes the other(s) to make purchases or cash advances 
individually. Any one of you may terminate the account and the termination will be effective as to all of you. 
20.  EFFECT OF AGREEMENT — 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.

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 [or electronically] 
at: 

University of Wisconsin Credit Union 
3500 University Ave. 
Madison, WI 53705

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.
