Revolving Account Plan Agreement 
------------------------------------------------ 
MasterCard®, VISA® y American Express® 

This document and the terms and conditions of your credit card, that are disclosed in offers thru promotional letters, telephone, internet or any 
other means constitute its Revolving Account Plan Agreement with Banco Santander Puerto Rico (hereinafter the "Agreement"). The use of 
the Credit Card (hereinafter the “Card”) which is issued by Banco Santander Puerto Rico (hereinafter the "Bank") at the request of the person 
on behalf of whom the Card is issued (hereinafter the "Holder") shall be governed by the following terms, conditions and clauses: 

USE OF THE CARD: The Holder can use the Card to purchase and/or lease goods and services in those establishments where the Card is 
accepted and to obtain cash advances from the Bank or any other bank that accepts the  Card, subject to those limitations that from time to 
time is established by the Bank or the associated Bank to which the Card is presented.  Similarly, the Holder may perform balance transfers 
subject to the availability of his credit line.  As a fraud prevention measure your card will be blocked for use outside of Puerto Rico and United 
States. The cardholder will be responsible to notify the Bank by calling Banco en Casa at 787-281-2000 or 1-800-726-8263 prior to traveling 
outside of Puerto Rico. This will provide greater security on your transactions and will allow the use of your card abroad, preventing your card 
from being blocked. The holder shall owe the Bank the amount charged to his account for using the Card, plus any Interest Charges to be 
determined,  which  will  become  payable  in  the  legal  tender  of  the  United  States  of  America,  in  its  entirely  or  in  monthly  installments,  in 
accordance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement. 

CREDIT LIMIT: The initial credit limit granted by the Bank for the  Holder’s account will be notified to him upon receipt of the Card. Also, on 
each monthly  account statement the  existing credit  limit  will  appear  as  of  the  date  of  the  statement.  The  Holder  agrees that the  Bank may 
change his credit limit from time to time based on his credit assessment. The Holder may not exceed the credit limit approved by the Bank and 
in doing so the Bank will have the right to cancel the Card, require its return or seize it and close the account. Any amount in excess of the 
limit approved by the Bank shall be paid by the Holder at sight. 

INTEREST CHARGES: The Interest Charges are computed only on the principal balance. The Holder shall pay Interest Charges monthly 
on  the  balance  of  his  account  during  the  billing  period,  as  described  below,  which  will  never  be  higher  than  the  rate  established  by  the 
corresponding  laws  and  regulations.  The  Interest  Charges  for  goods  and  services  and  cash  advances  varies  in  accordance  with  the 
applicant's credit score at the time of the credit assessment, which can range from 0.8291% up to 2.1625% (Periodic Rate), equivalent to an 
Annual  Percentage  Rate  (APR)  ranging  from  9.95%  up  to  25.95%.  If  the  rate  disclosed  in  the  offer  that  was  made  to  you  by  Banco 
Santander Puerto Rico thru promotional letter, telephone, internet or any other means is different to this, the Periodic Rate will be computed by 
dividing  the  Annual  Percentage  Rate  applicable  to  your  account  between  twelve  (12).  An  Interest  Charge  will  be  imposed  on  purchases 
charged to this account by applying the specified Monthly Periodic Rate to the Average Daily Balance. This balance is obtained by taking the 
initial balance for each day in the billing period, subtracting payments and credits and adding the purchases, except purchases made in billing 
periods where the opening balance of the period is  $0 or the initial balance is paid in full within the period. Then we add all  daily balances 
within  the  billing  period  and  divide  this total  by  the  number  of  days  within the  period.  The  result  is the  Average  Daily Balance.  No  Interest 
Charges will be imposed for billing periods where there is  no previous balance or during which payments and credits match or exceed the 
previous balance. With regard to Interest Charges for cash advances, they shall be imposed by applying the specified Monthly Periodic Rate 
to the Average Daily Balance as of the date on which the Holder and/or the persons authorized by the Holder received such cash advances 
until its total payment. 

PENALTY  RATE:  The  Annual  Percentage  Rate  (APR)  (including  promotional  rates)  that  applies  to  existing  balances  as  well  as  new 
purchases  of  goods  and  services,  cash  advances  and  balances  transferred  to  your  account,  may  increase  to  29.99%  APR  if  the  following 
conditions occurs: 

• The minimum payment on your account is not received for two (2) consecutive billing periods. 

 Your account will be eligible to return to the regular Annual Percentage Rate (APR) once the account is up to date and you have made six (6) 
consecutive minimum payments on or before the corresponding due dates. The Bank shall notify the increase in the penalty rate with no less 
than forty-five (45) days prior to the effective date of the increase. 

PROMOTIONAL  RATES:  If  the  Holder  has  been  granted  at  a  promotional  rate  (Annual  Percentage  Rate  (APR)  applicable  to  existing 
balances, new purchases of goods and services, balance transfers and cash advances charged to your account) the same will be  in effect 
during  the  term  specified  in  the  offer  made  by  the  Bank.  However,  if  the  Holder  decides  to  cancel  his  account  before  the  end  of  the 
promotional rate period, he will lose the benefits of the promotional rate and will be charged at the corresponding regular rate for his account 
for the existing balance as of the date of cancelling his Card. 

ANNUAL FEE:  As user of the Card the Holder undertakes to pay the Bank a non-refundable Annual Fee of $24, for Visa Classic, $35 for the 
American Express Standard, $16 for the Visa UCard, $45 for the MasterCard Gold, $55 for the American Express Premium and $50 for the  
Santander  MileagePlus  VISA.  Annual  fees  will  be  charged  in  your  first  account  statement  and  successively  on  each  anniversary  of  the 
issuance date of the Card, when the annual fee charge applies. When the annual fee do not apply, or is reduced, thus will be made available 
through  offers  by  letter,  telephone,  internet  or  any  other  means.  Additional  Cards:  The  Holder  may  request  additional  Cards  under  his 
account to be used by those other persons designated by the Holder, in which case the Holder is always jointly and severally  responsible for 
payment in full of all purchases and cash advances made through the use of these additional Cards and the corresponding Interest Charges. 
If the Holder requests an additional Card, he will pay the Bank an additional non-refundable annual fee of $9 for the Visa Classic, Visa UCard 
and  MasterCard  Regular,  $10  for  an  American  Express  Standard,  $15  for  the  MasterCard  Gold,  American  Express  Premium  and  the 
Santander MileagePlus VISA. There will be no charge for additional Cards in the case of the Card that the Bank has in promotion from time to 
time.  When the additional Card fee does not apply, or is reduced, thus will be made available through offers by letter, telephone, internet or 
any other means. 

MONTHLY  ACCOUNT  STATEMENT:  Every  month  the  Bank  will  send  the  Holder  an  Account  Statement  at  the  end  of  each  billing  period

protection, disability or involuntary unemployment or some other coverage by the Bank or any third party (whether or not a Bank affiliate) such 
insurance is optional and is not a condition for extending credit.

BILLING  RIGHTS:  This  notice  contains  important  information  about  your  rights  and  our  responsibilities  under  the  Fair  Credit  Billing  Act. 
Notification to the Bank in case of errors or doubts on the account statement: the Holder shall notify in writing to the Bank if he believes 
that the account statement is incorrect or needs more information about a transaction in the statement. The Holder must write, on a separate 
sheet, at the address indicated in the account statement, as soon as possible. This notification must be no later than sixty (60) days since the 
Bank sent the first statement on which the error or problem appeared. The Holder may call the Bank by telephone, but this way your rights do 
not prevail. The Holder must send a letter with the following information: name and surname, account number, amount of money of the alleged 
error, description of the error. If you need more information, you must include a description of the item on which you have any questions. If the 
Holder has authorized the Bank to pay the  account statement automatically from  his savings or checking account, the Holder can stop the 
payment of any amount he understands that it is incorrect. 

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BANK AFTER HAVING RECEIVED THE WRITTEN NOTIFICATION FROM THE HOLDER: the 
Bank must acknowledge receipt of the letter within thirty (30) days, unless the error has been corrected within this period. After receiving his 
letter, within a period equivalent to two billing cycles, but no more than ninety (90) days, the Bank must correct the error or explain to you why 
we understand that the invoice is correct. After receiving the written notification, the Bank should not try to collect any amount that the Holder 
has  questioned,  nor  report  him  as  delinquent.  The  Bank may continue  to  bill  the  amount that  the  Holder  has  questioned,  including  Interest 
Charges  and  may  apply  any  amount  due  to  his  credit  line.  The  Holder  does  not  have  to  pay  any  amount  in  dispute  while  the  Bank  is 
investigating, but the Holder will be obligated to pay the parts of his invoice that are not in dispute. If the Bank determines that there was an 
error in the invoice, the Holder will not have to pay Interest Charges related to the portion of the invoice that is in dispute. If it is  determined 
that there was no error on the invoice, the Holder shall pay  Interest Charges and update any payment in the amount of the dispute. In any 
case, the Bank will send you an account statement for the unpaid amount and the due date. If the Holder does not pay the amount that the 
Bank believes it owes, the Bank can report the case as delinquent. However, if the Holder is not satisfied with the Bank’s explanation, and he 
writes within the next ten (10) days informing that he still refuses to pay the Bank, the Bank shall inform any organization to whom he has been 
reported  as  delinquent  that  the  Holder  has  a  dispute  regarding  the  invoice.  Also,  the  Bank  must  inform  the  Holder  on  the  identity  of  any 
organization he has been reported to, that there has been a resolution once the matter has been resolved. If these rules are not followed, the 
Bank may not charge the first $50 of the amount in dispute, even if it is determined that the invoice was correct. 

SPECIAL RULES ON PURCHASES WITH CREDIT CARDS: if there are problems with the quality of the goods or services purchased with 
Credit Cards and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the vendor, you may have the right to not pay the remaining debt 
balance related to those products or services. There are two limitations on this right: a) the purchase must have been made in your state of 
residence ("home state"), or if you are not in your state of residence, within 100 miles of your mailing address, and (b) the purchase price must 
be greater than $50. These limitations do not apply to the vendor where you purchased the goods or services if this is owned or controlled by 
the Bank or if the Bank sent you a promotional notice or advertising of their goods or services.
