HOW YOU DETERMINE MY ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE 

My ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE may increase or decrease during the term of this Agreement and Disclosure Statement Addendum. 
Any such  change will be based on an increase or decrease of the <Prime Rate= as published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street 
Journal on the 15th of each month (or the first business day thereafter in the event the 15th falls on a non-business day) (herein <Index=). 
In no event will the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE  exceed the maximum rate permitted to be charged by federally-chartered Credit 
Unions. In the event the Index ceases to be published, changes in the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE  will be related to a comparable 
Index of our choosing. 

The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE  RATE  initially applicable to all my Account’s Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash Advances is set 
forth in the Account Opening Disclosure Addendum. If applicable to my account, the Penalty ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is also set 
forth in the Account Opening Disclosure Addendum. 

My ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE  is subject to change every month on the day following my <Statement Closing Date=. These dates 
shall be  known  as  <Adjustment Dates=. The Index in  effect as  of  the 15th of  the  month shall be used  to calculate the  ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE  RATE  change effective as of the Adjustment Date. For example, the Index in effect on January 15th will be used to 
calculate the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE  RATE  change effective as of the Adjustment Date in February of the same year. You add a 
<margin= to the index value to calculate  my ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATES.  The amount of my margins for purchases,  balance 
transfers,  and cash advances appears on  the Account Opening Disclosure Addendum. Decreases in the  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE 
RATE  in accordance with the terms  of  this  Agreement and Disclosure Statement Addendum are mandatory and increases in the 
ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  are at your discretion. If the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE  RATE  and Monthly Periodic Rate increases or 
decreases,  the interest charge will increase or decrease. Each change in the  ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE  and Monthly Periodic 
Rate will apply to any balance outstanding on the effective date of such change, as well as to future purchases and cash advances to 
the extent permitted by law. Any increase or decrease in the ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  may result in changes in the number of 
payments required to repay the unpaid balance and/or an increase in the minimum payment due. 

MONTHLY PERIODIC RATE,  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE  AND  PENALTY ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE  

The interest charge for each billing cycle will be calculated by applying the monthly periodic rate to the Average Daily Bala nce (described 
below) for my account. The Monthly Periodic Rate is determined by dividing the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE  by 12 and will change 
when the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE  changes. Any changes to the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will be reflected on my periodic 
statement. 

CHANGE IN TERMS 

Account and agreement terms are not guaranteed for any period of time. I understand and agree that you m ay amend, modify, add to, 
or delete from this Agreement and Disclosure Statement any of its terms and conditions, including financial terms such as  the  method 
of application and the amount of any interest charge, Transaction Fee, or other  FINANCE CHARGE, ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE, 
monthly periodic rate, and/or fee in accordance with applicable laws. If required by applicable law, you will mail a notice o f the change 
to me at my last known address. I also understand that in the event of a significant change, as defined under the Federal Truth in Lending 

Act/ Regulation Z, any such notice will be mailed at least forty-five (45) days prior to the effective date of the significant change as 
required by applicable law. If you are required by applicable law to provide me a right to reject significant changes to this Agreement and 
Disclosure Statement prior to the effective date of such changes, you will provide me with an explanation of how to reject th e significant 
changes. This does not apply if I fail to make a req uired minimum payment within sixty (60) days after its due date. You may change the 
terms of this Agreement and Disclosure Statement based on information in my credit report, market conditions, business strate gy, or for 
any other reason. You will provide m e a notice of a change in terms as required by law. 

HOW INTEREST  CHARGES ARE CALCULATED 

The interest charge for each billing cycle is the sum total of the interest charges calculated for each transaction category (cash, purchase, 
etc.).  Interest charges on a transaction category are calculated by applying the MONTHLY PERIODIC RATE of that transaction category 
to the Average Daily Balance of that transaction category.  The Average Daily Balance for each transaction category is determined by 
adding together the balance at the end of each day in the billing cycle and dividing by the number of days in the cycle.  

HOW YOU CALCULATE  MY MINIMUM PAYMENT 

Every month, I must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date shown on my periodic statement. By separate 
agreement, I may authorize you to automatically transfer the Minimum Payment Due from my First Tech share or share draft acco unt. I 
may pay more frequently, pay more, or pay the New Balance in full, and I will reduce my interest charges by doing so. The Minimum 
Payment Due will be either: 

2% of my New  Balance, or $25.00, whichever is greater; or 

 
  My New Balance, if less than $25.00. 
 

In addition, I must pay any amount on my periodic statement listed as past due along with any late charge.

Effective: March 1, 2022 

HOW YOU APPLY MY PAYMENT 

Generally, my Minimum Payment will be applied first to interest, fees, and then balances with the highest  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE 
RATE before balances with lower ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES.  Payments made in excess of the Minimum Payment will be applied 
to balances with the highest ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE  first, then in order of next highest to lowest.  If my revolving balances have 
the same ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE RATE,  the Cash Advance balance will be paid first.  If two promotional or protected balances have 
the same ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE,  the oldest balance will be paid first.  My payments will be applied to balances as they appear 
on my monthly statement before being applied to new transactions.  New transactions will be paid last once all other balances are paid 
in full and will be paid from highest to lowest ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE. In the case that the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES 
are the same the cash advance balance will be paid first. An example of a new transaction is a recent purchase or cash advance I made 
that has not yet been included in the New Balance as shown on my statement.  

HOW TO  COMPUTE THE PURCHASE BALANCE  UPON WHICH INTEREST  CHARGES ARE ASSESSED 

To avoid incurring additional interest charges on  the balance of Purchases  reflected on each periodic statement and on any new 
Purchases appearing on my next statement, I must pay the New Balance shown on each periodic statement on or before the Payment 
Due Date. The interest charges for a billing cycle are computed by applying the Monthly Periodic Rate to the average daily balance of 
Purchases, which is determined by dividing the sum of the daily balances for the billing cycle by the number of cycle days in  the cycle. 
Each daily balance is determined by subtracting from the Previous Balance (the outstanding balance on my Account at the beginning of 
the billing cycle) any payments as received and credits as posted to my Account, and excluding any unpaid interest charge s. You do not 
add in new Purchases. 

HOW TO  COMPUTE THE ADVANCES BALANCE  UPON WHICH PERIODIC INTEREST  CHARGES ARE ASSESSED 
The interest charges on Cash Advances and Balance Transfers begins to accrue on the transaction date or the first day of the  billing 
cycle in which it is posted to my Account, whichever is later. There is no <free ride= period (grace period). The interest cha rges for a 
billing cycle are computed by applying the Monthly Periodic Rate to the average daily balance during the billing cycle, 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 is determined 
by adding to the Previous Balance (the outstanding balance on my Account at the beginning of the billing cycle) any new Cash Advances 
or Balance Transfers made on the Account, and subtracting any payments as received or credits as posted to my Account, but ex cluding 
any unpaid interest charges. 

PREPAYMENT OR IRREGULAR PAYMENTS 

Though I need only pay the Minimum Payment Due as shown on my periodic statement, I understand that I have the right to repay my 
entire Account balance at any time without penalty. I also understand and agree that I will only be charged interest charges to the date 
my payment is posted to my entire Account balance. I may make larger payments without penalty, and this may reduce the total amount 
of interest charges that I will pay. If I pay more than the Minimum Payment Due in any month and there is still a balance due , I must 
continue to make Minimum Payments in future months. Any partial payment of my loan will not advance my next payment due date(s). 

I understand and agree that any payment that (a) delays or (b) accelerates the repayment of my unpaid balance will (a) increa se or (b) 
decrease my Monthly Periodic interest charges. 

PAYMENTS BY AUTOMATIC  TRANSFER 

If  I request  payment by automatic transfer, I understand and agree that no payment can or will be made if there are insuffici ent or 
uncollected funds in the designated deposit account to make the scheduled loan payment. Should this event occur, I understand and 
agree that I will not be released from making the payment. Any automatic transfer I have requested will remain in effect unti l I cancel it 
in writing or the Account balance is paid in full. You may cancel this service at your discretion; however, I understand that I am still 
responsible for ensuring that timely payment is made to you. 

GRACE PERIOD 

I will not incur additional interest charges if I pay the New Balance by the due date provided that either: 

1.  You received payment in full of the ending balance for the previous billing cycle by the Payment Due Date disclosed in the 

previous billing cycle’s periodic statement; or 
The previous billing cycle’s ending balance was $0. 

2. 

If I have a grace period to pay the New Balance for any billing cycle, and do not pay the New Balance in full during this gra ce period, 

interest charges will be assessed  on any portion of the New Balance not paid during the grace period using the Average D aily Balance 

method as explained above. The Payment Due Date disclosed on each periodic statement provided to me is the last day of my gra ce 

period for that statement’s billing cycle. For more on how payments are applied to purchases, advances, or balance transfers, see: <HOW 

YOU CALCULATE  MY MINIMUM PAYMENT= above.

SKIP PAYMENT OPTION 

At your discretion, you may occasionally offer me an opportunity to skip my obligation to make the Minimum Payment due. I may  not 
skip  payments unless you make this offer to me. I cannot accept a skip payment offer if my Account is delinquent or in Default. When I 
take advantage of a skip payment offer, the interest will continue to accrue on my Account’s entire unpaid balance.  

LATE  PAYMENT FEE 
You may charge my Account a Late Payment Fee in any month in which you do not receive the Minimum Payment Due by the payment 
due date. The late payment fee is provided in the Account Opening Disclosure Addendum.  

RETURNED  PAYMENT FEE 

If a payment you apply to my Account is returned to you unpaid for any reason, you will charge me a Returned Payment Fee. This fee 
will also apply to any payments made by automatic transfer that cannot be posted due to insufficient funds in my regular shar e or 
checking account. The amount of the returned payment fee is provided in the Account Opening Disclosure Addendum. 

ADDITIONAL  FEES 

You may charge additional fees to my account in any month, as applicable. The fee types and amounts are provided in the Accou nt 
Opening Disclosure Addendum. 

DEBT  PROTECTION  COVERAGE 

If you offer credit protection on the Account and I request it, you will calculate the premium monthly by multiplying the pre mium rate by 
the outstanding balance on the Account. You will add the premium amount to the Account balance on  the Billing Cycle Closing Date. 
The purchase of this insurance is entirely voluntary and is not required for credit approval. I acknowledge receiving a copy of the credit 
protection documents which contain current rates and other information. I understand and agree that if I have requested this protection 
coverage, I will be obligated to pay the premium(s) indicated on the election form which has been included as part of my paym ent. If I 
decide to cancel such protection, I must do so in writing, and I agree  to pay all premiums up to the date you act on my request to cancel. 

CREDIT  LIMIT 

You will set a maximum credit limit for my Account. You may change the credit limit at any time, with or without notice to me , subject to 
applicable law. I agree not to exceed or attempt to exceed the credit limit. I understand and agree that all purchases, cash advances and 
other transactions requested by me, or anyone I have permitted to use the Card(s) and/or Account, are considered authorized by me 
and are subject to your approval. 

OVERDRAFT  PROTECTION 

This section applies only if I have specifically requested and have obtained Overdraft Protection linking the Account with a designated 
First  Tech checking account. An Overdraft Protection Advance is an advance of funds t o my designated checking account from this 

Account that will prevent or cover overdrafts on my checking account. I authorize you to make Overdraft Protection Advances f rom the 
Account as provided in this Agreement and Disclosure Statement. Any Overdraft Protection Advance will post and be disclosed as Cash 
Advance on my periodic statement. An Overdraft Protection Advance will be made only once per day, and you will automatically transfer 
funds sufficient to cover the exact dollar amount of the overdraft. If  the amount of available credit on my Card is less than the amount of 
the overdraft, you will not advance the amount to cover the overdraft.  

If there is more than one person listed on the checking account (such as joint checking account) that I have linked  for Overdraft Protection, 
then: 

1. 

2. 

I  will be responsible for  all Overdraft Protection advances regardless of  which  person  writes  the  check  or 
engages in any other transaction (such as a debit card purchase) that causes the overdraft;  and 
I expressly consent to you disclosing to any other person on that checking account, that the checking account 
is linked to this credit card account for Overdraft Protection. 

At your discretion, you reserve the right to cancel or suspend the Overdraft Protection service at an y time for any reason, and you may 
impose other conditions on the Overdraft Protection service.

allowed another person to use my Account or to be legally prevented from denying that I did so. 

Once I allow authority to any authorized user, I cannot limit that authority unless my Account is closed to future transactions. I, as a

My Billing Rights: Keep This Document for Future Use  

This notice tells me about my rights and your responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.  

What To  Do If I Find A Mistake On My Statement 

If I think there is an error on my statement, I must send you a secure message through online banking or write to you at:  

First Technology Federal Credit Union 
Attn: Card Services 
PO Box 2100 
Beaverton, OR 97075-2100 

In my letter online-banking message, I must give you the following information: 

 
 

 

Account information: My name and account number 
Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error 

Description of problem: If I think there is an error on my bill, describe what I believe is wrong and why I believe it is a mistake. 

I must contact you: 

  Within 60 days after the error appeared on my statement. 

 

At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if I want to stop payment on the amount I think is wrong. 

I must notify you of any potential errors in writing. I may call you, but if I do, you are not required to investigate any potential errors and I 
may have to pay the amount in question. 

What Will Happen After You Receiv e My Letter  

When you  receive my letter, you must do tw o things: 

1.  Within 30 days of receiving my letter, you must tell me that you received my letter. You will also tell me if you have already 

corrected the error. 

2.  Within 90 days of receiving my letter, you must either correct the error or explain to me why you believe the bill is correct. 

While you  inv estigate w hether or not there has been an error: 

 

You cannot try to collect the amount in question or report me as delinquent on that  amount. 

The charge in question may remain on my statement, and you may continue to charge me interest  on that amount. 

 
  While I do not have to pay the amount in question, I am responsible for the remainder of my  balance. 

 

You can apply any unpaid amount against my credit limit. 

After you  finish your  inv estigation, one of tw o things w ill happen: 

1. 

2. 

If you made a mistake: I will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that 
amount. 

If you do not believe there was a mistake: I will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable 
interest and fees. You will send me a statement of the amount I owe and the date payment is due. You may 
then report me as delinquent if I do not pay the amount you think I owe. 

If I receive your explanation but still believe my bill is wrong, I must write to you within 10 days telling you that I still  refuse to pay. If I do 

so,  you cannot report me as delinquent without also reporting that I am questioning my bill. You must tell me the name of anyone to 
whom you reported me as delinquent, and you must let those organizations know when the matter has been settl ed between us. If you 
do not follow all of the rules above, I do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount I question even if my bill is correct. 

My Rights If I Am Dissatisfied With My Credit Card Purchases  

If I am dissatisfied with the goods or services that I have purchased with my credit card, and I have tried in good faith to correct the 
problem with the merchant, I 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 my home state or within 100 miles of my current mailing address, and 
the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if my purchase was 
based on an advertisement you mailed to me, or if you own the company that sold me the goods or services.) 

2. 

I must have used my credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a 
check that accesses  my credit card account do not qualify. 

3. 

I must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
