The purpose of this Seward Co-op Visa Credit Card Agreement and 
Disclosure Statement (�Visa Agreement�) is to establish the terms and conditions for use of the Seward Co-op Visa Credit Card revolving line of credit and to provide you with certain disclosures required by law.
In this Visa Agreement the words �we,� �our,� �us� or �Credit Union� mean SPIRE  
Federal Credit Union or its successors and assigns.
The words �you� or �your� mean each person who has applied for a Seward Co-op Visa Credit Card or who uses the card or duplicate credit card.
The word �card� means your Seward Co-op Visa Credit Card and 
duplicates of said card. The word �account� means your Seward Co-op Visa Credit Card revolving credit account with SPIRE Federal Credit Union. 
The words �Credit Purchase� mean goods and services which may be purchased or leased by means of the card from any retail business establishment which 
honors the card upon the execution of a sales slip evidencing such Credit 
Purchase and your account number.
The words �Visa Cash Advance� means loans which may be obtained through the use of the card upon execution by you, written request on a form furnished by 
Issuer, or an authorized Visa representative.
You and we understand and agree as follows:
1.  Application. You have previously applied for a line of credit that you can use 
     from time to time and which may be accessed through means of a Seward 
     Co-op Visa Credit Card and may be replenished by payment of 
     amounts previously drawn on such line of credit.
2.  Approval and Use. If SPIRE Federal Credit Union approves your application 
     for a card, any use of the line of credit made available to you through your 
     account will cause you to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this 
     Visa Agreement. Upon receipt of your new Seward Co-op Visa 
     Credit Card, any use of it thereafter shall constitute your acceptance of all of the 
     terms stated in this Visa Agreement.
3.  Prepayment. You may pay the balance of your account in full or in part at any 
     time without penalty except that you must pay the minimum periodic payments 
     that are required under paragraph 7.
4.  Credit Limit and Repayment. Your credit limit will be determined by the    
     Credit Union and this credit limit will be drawn upon as you utilize your Visa  
     Account. You must repay all credit that you access from your account in 
     accordance with the terms and conditions of this Visa Agreement. The card 
     is not transferable and will at all times remain the property of the Credit Union 
     and must be surrendered immediately upon demand by any authorized 
     representative of the Credit Union.
5.  Finance Charge. A Finance Charge will be imposed on Visa Cash 
     Advances that you obtain through the use of your card during the current billing 
     cycle from the date of each such Cash Advance. The balance of Cash Advances 
     subject to a Finance Charge is the average daily outstanding unpaid balance, 
     which is determined by dividing the sum of the daily balances during the billing 
     cycle by the number of days in the cycle. Each daily balance of Cash Advances 
     is determined by adding any new Cash Advances as of the transaction date 
     or the first day of the billing cycle in which posted, whichever is later, to previous 
     balance, excluding any unpaid Finance Charges, and subtracting each 
     payment and credit on the date of receipt. The Finance Charge for a billing 
     cycle is computed by multiplying the average daily balance by the daily rate and 
     the number of days in the cycle.
     A Finance Charge will be imposed on Credit Purchase of goods and service 
     that you obtain through the use of your card only if you elect not to pay the 
     entire New Balance shown on your previous monthly statement within 25 
     days from the closing date of the statement. If you elect not to pay the entire 
     New Balance shown on your previous monthly statement, a Finance Charge 
     will be imposed on the unpaid balance of Credit Purchases from the statement 
     closing date and Credit Purchases made during the current billing cycle from 
     the date of posting each such Credit Purchase to the account, and will continue 
     to accrue until the closing date of the billing cycle preceding the date on which 
     the entire New Balance is paid in full. If the New Balance indicated on your 
     statement for the prior monthly period is paid in full within 25 days after the 
     closing date, no Finance Charge will be imposed during the current billing 
     cycle for Credit Purchases made during previous billing cycles. 
     The balance of Credit Purchases subject to a Finance Charge is the average 
     daily outstanding unpaid balance, which is determined by dividing the sum of 
     the daily balances during the billing cycle by number of days in the cycle. Each 
     daily balance of Credit Purchases is determined by adding to the previous 
     balance new Credit Purchases posted through the date if the previous balance 
     was not paid in full within 25 days of the statement closing date, and subtracting 
     each payment and credit on the date of receipt, but excluding any unpaid 
     Finance Charges. The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is computed by 
     multiplying the average daily balance by the daily rate and the number of days in 
     the cycle, using Average Daily Balance (including new purchases) Method.
6.  Periodic Rate. The Daily Periodic Rate applicable to purchases and cash 
     advances for the billing cycle is 1/365th of the Annual Percentage Rate effective 
     for the billing period as disclosed below. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 
     a Variable Rate and may be changed quarterly. Your APR is determined by 
     adding a margin of 5.65% for Visa Platinum cards to the prevailing U. S. Prime 
     Rate. The U. S. Prime Rate used to determine your APR for each billing cycle is 
     the highest rate appearing in The Wall Street Journal on the last day of the 
     calendar months of March, June, September and December. If the Prime Rate 
     has changed, the new rates will take effect with your billing period ending the 
     following month. As of the effective date of this disclosure, the ANNUAL 
     PERCENTAGE RATE is 8.9% for Visa Platinum which corresponds to a daily 
     periodic rate of 0.024% for Visa Platinum. The Annual Percentage Rate will 
     never be greater than 18.00%.
7.   Minimum Payments. The minimum periodic payment required on your 
     account will be the total New Balance as shown on your monthly billing 
     statement if such amount is $25 or less. If the New Balance amount exceeds 
     $25, the minimum periodic payment will be 3% of that portion of the New 
     Balance amount which does not exceed your credit limit, plus the entire portion 
     of the New Balance amount in excess of your credit limit, plus any amount past 
     due, any  late payment charge, and/or other charges. Any payments received for 
     payment of amounts due on your account will be applied and allocated to your 
     account at the sole discretion of the Credit Union. If you pay more than the 
     minimum payment, your payment will be applied to the highest APR first.
8.  Annual Fee. None.
9.  Late/Cash Advance/Replacement Card Fee/Returned Check 
     Charges/International Currency Conversions. 
      
     You agree to pay up to a $25 fee when payments of any amounts due 
     thereunder is more than 5 days late.
      
     You agree to pay a Cash Advance Fee of 1% of transaction amount with a

     for international currency conversions.

     Union to the contrary at the time you submitted your application or so instruct 
     the Credit Union before using your new Visa Credit Card, you authorize the

     limit by advancing funds from any savings account, checking account, or 
     revolving credit loan plan that you have with the Credit Union.
11. Collection Costs. You agree to pay all costs, including reasonable attorney�s 
     fees and court costs, incurred by the Credit Union in trying to collect any

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 do so, we cannot re�port you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill.

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 merchants, 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:
SPIRE Federal Credit Union
2025 Larpenteur Ave. W.
Falcon Heights, MN 55113
info@spire-banking.com
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.
