Instructions for making timely payments are shown on your billing statement.
Payments must be:
made in U.S. dollars; and
paid from a U.S. bank or other U.S. financial institution; and
sent in a form that is acceptable to us.
Acceptable forms of payment include:
a check or money order; or
an electronic funds transfer
If you want to write any special conditions on your payment, such as "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language,
you must mark this clearly on your payment. Send this payment to the special address on your statement. This address is
called the "Billing Inquiries" address.

you will not receive your check back from your bank.
When you use our optional payment by phone service, you agree that:
we may make an electronic funds transfer from the bank account you choose; or

You authorize the amount and timing of each payment. Please retain this authorization for your records.
If you have a returned payment:
the amount you paid will be added back to your Account and may be applied to a different category than originally
posted. (e.g. cash advance, purchases, etc.); and
Interest Charges may be restored back to the payment date at the APR for that transaction.
Interest Rates
ABOUT YOUR APRs
Your APRs are shown in Part 2.
A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing cycle. To determine this rate, we divide
your APR by 365; then round this number up to the next hundred thousandth of a percentage point.
PROMOTIONAL OR INTRODUCTORY APR
We may offer you special Promotional or Introductory APRs from time to time. If we do, we will tell you:
the eligible transaction types;
how long this APR will last; and
any other special terms of the offer.
HOW A VARIABLE RATE MAY CHANGE
Your variable APRs can change with each monthly billing cycle.
We will apply each APR to the applicable balance for each type of transaction. Each variable APR will be equal to:
a) the amount shown in Part 2 ("Spread"); plus
b) the U.S. "Prime Rate" as defined below.
The Prime Rate will be as shown in the Money Rates table of The Wall Street Journal that is in effect on the last day of
the month.
Any changes in the Prime Rate will take effect on the first day of your billing cycle beginning in the next month.
An increase in the U.S. Prime Rate will increase your Daily Periodic Rates. It may also increase your:
Interest Due; and/or
Minimum Payment Due.
ABOUT THE PENALTY APR
If you do not make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date on two occasions in a rolling 12-month period,
we may increase your APRs on future transactions to the Penalty APR.
If this occurs:
we will provide advance notice before the Penalty APR goes into effect.
once the Penalty APR goes into effect, if you make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date for
six consecutive billing cycles, your rates will return to the non-Penalty APRs that apply to your Account.
Interest Charges
HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
To determine your periodic Interest Charges on each billing statement, we:
determine the Average Daily Balance for each type of transaction; (for example, purchases, balance transfers, and cash
advances); then
multiply this number by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate; then
multiply this number by the total number of days in the billing cycle.
We use the applicable Daily Periodic Rate in effect on the billing statement closing date.
HOW DAILY BALANCE IS DETERMINED
To determine your Daily Balance, we:
take the beginning balance for each type of transaction that day; then
add the following that were incurred on that day:
a) any new transactions;
b) any previous day's periodic Interest Charges;
c) any Finance Charges; and
d) any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt cancelation fees, if these apply;
then
subtract any payments and/or credits.
We also make any needed adjustments. For example:
If a transaction posts after, but occurs before the start of a billing cycle, we may adjust the amount above to include this
transaction. It will be included as of the first day of the billing cycle in which it posts.
If your Account is subject to a grace period during the billing cycle, your payments will be subtracted from all Daily
Balances in the current billing cycle.
If a transaction for a returned payment or a dispute resolved in our favor posts after the beginning of the billing cycle, we
will make this adjustment:
- the applicable Daily Balance(s) and any related Interest Charge calculations will be adjusted to include the transaction
amount as of the date of the original payment or transaction.
To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we:
add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then
divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.
PAYING INTEREST
Your Account has a grace period on purchases. Periodic Interest Charges begin accruing on purchases, balance
transfers, cash advances, and credit card checks on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until your balance
is paid in full. However, no Interest will be charged on new purchases for any billing cycle when:
you paid your entire New Balance in the previous month on time; and
you pay your entire current month's balance on time as well.
TREATMENT OF FEES AND INTEREST
Any fees or Interest will be added to your Purchase balance unless otherwise stated in this Agreement.
MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE
If you are charged Interest, the charge will be no less than the Minimum Interest Charge listed in Part 2. The Minimum
Interest Charge will be allocated to each balance category subject to an Interest Charge.
BALANCE TRANSFER FEE
This fee is shown in Part 2. This fee:
applies to balance transfers and credit card checks; and
is charged as of the date the transfer or check posts to your Account; and
is added to the same balance as the balance transfer; and
is a Finance Charge.
CASH ADVANCE FEE
This fee is shown in Part 2. It applies to:
cash you get over the counter (e.g., at a bank);
cash you get at an ATM; and
other "cash-like" transactions (such as money orders, traveler's checks, casino chips, or lottery tickets).
This fee is:
charged as of the date the transaction posts to your Account; and
added to the cash advance balance; and
a Finance Charge.
FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE
This fee is shown in Part 2. This fee will be charged when a transaction is made in a foreign currency. This fee is:
charged on the U.S. dollar amount of the transaction;
is added to either your Cash Advance or Purchase balance depending on the type of transaction; and
a Finance Charge.
The U.S. dollar amount is defined by the Network.
The rules that define the U.S. dollar amount are:
subject to change at any time, and set by the Network as allowed by law, currently:
- a wholesale market rate, or
- a government-mandated rate in effect on either:
(i) the applicable central processing date, used by the Network; or
(ii) one day prior to the processing date.
The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction or
posting date.
FEES AND LIMITS
The fees that apply to your Account are shown in the Purchase balance unless otherwise stated in this Agreement.
If charging any fee shown in Part 2 would exceed first-year fee limits set by law, we may charge an amount allowed by
law. If we do this, it does not affect our ability to charge the full fee amount later.
ANNUAL OR PERIODIC MEMBERSHIP FEE
If your Account has an Annual or Periodic Membership Fee, this amount is shown in Part 2. You agree that this fee will be
charged to your Account while your Account is:
open; or
closed with a balance.
If you have not used your Account and you close it within 90 days of when it was opened, the Annual or Periodic
Membership Fee(s) will be refunded (if paid) or reversed.

In your letter, give us the following information:
Account information: Your name and account number.

At least 3 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. 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 at:
HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A.
PO Box 5253
Carol Stream, IL 60197-5253 or at the address shown
on your billing 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.
Missouri Residents: Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend credit or to forbear from enforcing
repayment of a debt including promises to extend or renew such debt are not enforceable. To protect you
(borrower(s)) and us (creditor) from misunderstanding or disappointment, any agreements we reach covering
such matters are contained in this writing, which is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement
between us, except as we may later agree in writing to modify it.

ABOUT THE PENALTY APR
If you do not make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date on two
occasions in a rolling 12-month period, we may increase your APRs on future
transactions to the Penalty APR.
If this occurs:
we will provide advance notice before the Penalty APR goes into effect.
once the Penalty APR goes into effect, if you make your Minimum Payment
Due by the Payment Due Date for six consecutive billing cycles, your rates
will return to the non-Penalty APRs that apply to your Account.
Interest Charges
MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE: If you are charged Interest, the charge will be no less than the Minimum Interest
Charge of $1.00. The Minimum Interest Charge will be allocated to each

Paying Interest: Your Account has a 23 day grace period on purchases. Periodic Interest Charges begin accruing on
purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, and credit card checks
on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until your balance is paid in

you paid your entire New Balance in the previous month on time; and
you pay your entire current month's balance on time as well.

HOW DAILY BALANCE IS DETERMINED:
To determine your Daily Balance, we:
take the beginning balance for each type of transaction that day; then
add the following that were incurred on that day:
a) any new transactions;
b) any previous day's periodic Interest Charges;
c) any Finance Charges; and
d) any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt
cancelation fees, if these apply; then
subtract any payments and/or credits.
To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we:
add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then
divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.
