CONSUMER CREDIT 
CARD AGREEMENT
AND DISCLOSURE

VISA PLATINUM OPTIMUM/VISA PLATINUM CASH REWARDS

This Consumer Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure together with the Account Opening Disclosure and any other
Account opening documents or any subsequent documents provided to You related to this Account (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Agreement”) govern the terms and conditions of this Account. “We,” “Us,” “Our” and “Ours” and
“Credit Union” refers to University of Michigan Credit Union with which this Agreement is made. “You,” “Your,” and “Yours”
refers to each applicant and co-applicant for the Account; any person responsible for paying the Account; and anyone You
authorize to use, access or service the Account. “Card” means the Visa® credit card and any other access devices,
duplicates, renewals, or substitutions, the Credit Union issues to You. “Account” means the line of credit established by
this Agreement and includes Your Card.

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.

You grant Us a security interest in all individual and joint share and/or deposit accounts You have with Us now and in  
the future to secure Your credit card Account. Shares and deposits in an IRA or any other account that would lose special 
tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security interest You have given in 
Your shares and deposits. You may withdraw these other shares unless You are in default. When You are in default, You 
authorize Us to apply the balance in these accounts to any amounts due. For example, if You have an unpaid credit card 
balance, You agree We may use funds in Your account(s) to pay any or all of the unpaid balance. You acknowledge and 
agree that Your pledge does not apply during any periods when You are a covered borrower under the Military Lending  
Act. For clarity, You will not be deemed a covered borrower, and Your pledge will apply, if: (i) You established Your credit 
card Account when You were not a covered borrower; or (ii) You cease to be a covered borrower.

Unless otherwise prohibited by federal and/or state law, 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.

1. USING YOUR ACCOUNT — By using the Account or keeping the Card, You agree to the terms of this Agreement. You agree 
to use Your Account in accordance with this Agreement. Your Account must only be used for lawful transactions.

2. CREDIT LIMIT — We may establish a credit limit as part of this Agreement, which You promise not to exceed. If You exceed 
the credit limit, You promise to repay immediately the amount which exceeds the credit limit, including amounts due to finance 
charges, fees or other charges. You may request a credit limit increase on Your Account only by a method acceptable to the 
Credit Union. We may increase or decrease Your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or terminate Your Account at any 
time for any reason permitted by law.

3. REPAYMENT — You promise to repay all amounts You owe under this Agreement. Your promise to repay includes
all transactions made to Your Account by You or anyone You authorize to use Your Account as well as all interest
charges and fees.

For each billing period, You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date.

The Minimum Payment Due is 2.00% of Your total New Balance, or $25.00, whichever is greater, plus any amount past due and 
any amount by which You have exceeded Your applicable credit limit. If Your total New Balance is less than $25.00, then Your 
Minimum Payment Due is the amount of the total New Balance.

You may pay more frequently, pay more than the Minimum Payment Due 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 Due each month Your Ac-
count has a balance (other than a credit balance). The Credit Union may delay replenishing Your credit limit until the date the 
payment is posted or the Credit Union confirms the payment has cleared.

Your payment of the required Minimum Payment Due may be applied to what You owe the Credit Union in any manner the Credit 
Union chooses, as permitted by applicable law. If You make a payment in excess of the required Minimum Payment Due, the 
Credit Union will allocate the excess amount first to the balance with the highest annual percentage rate (“APR”) and any remain-
ing portion to the other balances in descending order based on applicable APR, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law. 
We may accept checks marked “payment in full” or with words of similar effect without losing any of Our rights to collect the full 
balance of Your Account with Us.

4. INTEREST AND FINANCE CHARGES — We will begin charging You interest on purchases on the date the transaction is 
posted to Your Account. We will begin charging You interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the date of the transac-
tion or the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account, whichever is later (transaction date). 
However, We will not charge You any interest on new purchases if Your Account had a zero or credit balance at the beginning of 
that billing cycle, or 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.

How We Calculate Your Balance:
Interest charges on Your Account are calculated separately for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances (“Transaction 
Type”). We figure the interest charge for each Transaction Type by applying the periodic rate to each corresponding “average 
daily balance.” To get the “average daily balance” for a Transaction Type We take the beginning balance for that Transaction Type 
each day, add any new transactions of that type, and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any applicable 
payments or credits. This gives Us the daily balance for each Transaction Type. Then, for each Transaction Type, We add up all 
the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide each total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the “average 
daily balance” for each Transaction Type.

5. FEES — In addition to the periodic rate, additional fees may be imposed on Your Account. If applicable to Your Account, the 
fee amounts and explanations are disclosed on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.

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 applica-
ble 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) will be charged on all transactions completed in a foreign currency. All fees are calculated based on the 
transaction amount after it is converted to U.S. dollars. These fees are charged except where excluded. The Foreign Transaction 
Fee is set forth on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.

7. AUTHORIZATIONS — We do not guarantee authorization of a transaction, either by Us or by a third party, even if You have 
sufficient credit available. You agree that We will not be liable for failing to give an authorization. We also reserve the right to limit 
the number of transactions that may be approved in one day. We reserve the right to deny certain transactions for any reason 
and at Our sole discretion, including for default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity, internet gambling or any indication 
of increased risk related to the transaction or the Account. You agree that We have no requirement to notify You of the specific 
reason We denied a transaction. If We detect unusual or suspicious activity, We may suspend Your credit privileges until We can 
verify the activity, or We may close the Account.

8. INFORMATION UPDATING SERVICE AND AUTHORIZATIONS — If You have authorized a merchant to bill charges to Your 
Card on a recurring basis, it is Your responsibility to notify the merchant in the event Your Card is replaced, Your Account infor-
mation (such as Card number or expiration date) changes, or Your Account is closed. However, if Your Card is replaced or Your 
Account information changes, You authorize Us, without obligation on Our part, to provide the updated Account information to 
the merchant in order to permit the merchant to bill recurring charges to Your Card. You authorize Us to apply such recurring 
charges to Your Card until You notify Us that You have revoked authorization for the charges to Your Card.

Your Card is automatically enrolled in an information updating service. Through this service, Your updated Account information 
(such as Card number or expiration date) may be shared with participating merchants to facilitate continued recurring charges. 
Updates are not guaranteed before Your next payment to a merchant is due. You are responsible for making direct payment 
until recurring charges resume. To revoke Your authorization allowing Us to provide updated Account information to a merchant, 
please contact Us.

9. PREAUTHORIZED CHARGES — We may suspend preauthorized recurring charges with merchants if, for example, Your Card 
is lost or stolen, You default, or We change Your Account for any reason. If preauthorized recurring charges are suspended, You 
are responsible for making direct payment for such charges until You contact the merchant to reinstate recurring charges.

pay by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that We must return because it cannot be processed; pay by automatic 
debit that is returned unpaid; make any false or misleading statements in any credit application or credit update; file for bankruptcy; 
or die. You will also be in default if You fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement You have with Us.

If You default, We may close Your Account and require You to pay any unpaid balance immediately, subject to applicable law. 
In this Agreement, You gave Us a security interest in all individual or joint share and/or deposit accounts with the Credit Union 
and authorized Us, if You defaulted, to apply the balance in these accounts to any amounts due. You agree We may rely on Your 
agreement and authorization to, upon Your default, apply any balance to any amounts due on Your Account.

that occurs before Your notice to Us. You will have no liability for unauthorized use unless You are found to be fraudulent or negli-
gent in the handling of Your Account or Card. In any case, Your liability for unauthorized transactions will not exceed $50.

actions.

Your Billing Rights: Keep this Document for Future Use

This notice tells You about Your rights and Our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If You think there is an error on Your statement, write to Us at the address listed on Your statement.
In Your letter, give Us the following information:

- Account information: Your name and Account number.
- Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
-  Description of problem: If You think there is an error on Your bill, describe what You believe is wrong and why You  

believe it is a mistake.

You must contact Us:

- Within 60 days after the error appeared on Your statement.
-  At least three business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if You want to stop payment on the amount 

You think is wrong.

You must notify Us of any potential errors in writing or electronically. You may call Us, but if 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 to You why We believe the bill is 

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 amount.
- The charge in question may remain on Your statement, and We may continue to charge You interest on that amount.
- While You do not have to pay the amount in question, You are responsible for the 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 or electronically at the 
address listed on Your statement.

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.
