Standard/Platinum
MASTERCARD CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT
In this Agreement the words "you" and "your"
mean each and all of those who agree to be bound by this Agreement;
"Card" means the MasterCard credit card and any duplicates,
renewals, or substitutions the Credit Union issues to you; "Account"
means your MasterCard credit card line of credit account with the
Credit Union, and "Credit Union" means the Credit Union
whose name appears on this Agreement or anyone to whom the Credit
Union transfers this Agreement.
- Using Your Account. If you are approved for an Account, the
Credit Union will establish a line of credit for you and notify
you of your credit limit. You agree that your credit limit is
the maximum amount (purchases, cash advances, finance charges,
plus "other charges") that you will have outstanding
on your Account at any time. If you are over your credit limit,
you must pay the amount you are over before payments will begin
to restore your credit limit. You may request an increase in your
credit limit only by a method acceptable to the Credit Union.
The Credit Union has the right to reduce your credit limit, refuse
to make an advance and/or terminate your Account at any time for
any reason not prohibited by law.
- Using Your Card. You may use your Card to make purchases from
merchants and others who accept MasterCard Cards. However, you
may not use your Card to initiate any type of gambling transaction.
If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you
may be required to provide card number security information before
you will be permitted to complete the transaction. In addition,
you may obtain cash advances from the Credit Union and from other
financial institutions that accept MasterCard Cards, and from
some automated teller machines (ATMs). (Not all ATMs accept MasterCard
Cards.) To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the
Personal Identification Number (PIN) that is issued to you for
use with your Card. You agree that you will not use your Card
for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal,
state or local law.
- Responsibility. You agree to pay all charges (purchases and
cash advances) to your Account that are made by you or anyone
whom you authorize to use your Account. You also agree to pay
all finance charges and other charges added to your Account under
the terms of this Agreement or another agreement you made with
the Credit Union. If this is a joint Account, Section 17 below
also applies to your Account.
- Finance Charges. New purchases posted to your account during
a billing cycle will not incur a finance charge for that billing
cycle. Finance charge begins to accrue on those purchases from
the first day of the next billing cycle, unless 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.
A finance charge begins to accrue on cash advances from the date
you get the cash advance or from the first day of the billing
cycle in which the cash advance is posted to your account, whichever
is later. The finance charge is calculated separately for purchases
and cash advances. For purchases, the finance charge is computed
by applying the monthly periodic rate to the average daily balance
of purchases. To get the average daily balance of purchases, we
take the beginning outstanding balance of purchases each day and
subtract any payments and/or credits that we apply to the purchase
balance. (We do not add in any purchases posted during the billing
cycle.) This gives us the daily balance of purchases. Then, we
add all the daily balances of purchases for the billing cycle
together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing
cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of purchases. For
cash advances, the finance charge is computed by applying the
monthly periodic rate to the average daily balance of cash advances.
To get the average daily balance of cash advances, we take the
beginning outstanding balance of cash advances each day, add in
any new cash advances, and subtract any payments and/or credits
that we apply to the cash advance balance. This gives us the daily
balance of cash advances. Then, we add all the daily balances
of cash advances for the billing cycle together and divide the
total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us
the average daily balance of cash advances. Balance transfers
will be calculated the same as cash advances. For our Standard
MasterCard, the monthly periodic rate for purchases is 0.8250%,
which is an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 9.90%. The monthly periodic
rate for cash advances and balance transfers is 1.4917%, which
is an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 17.90%. For our Platinum MasterCard,
the monthly periodic rate for purchases is 0.9917%, which is an
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 11.90%. The monthly periodic rate for
cash advances and balance transfers is 1.4917%, which is an ANNUAL
PERCENTAGE RATE of 17.90%. When you are sixty (60) days delinquent
in making a payment, the monthly periodic rate on your account
will increase to 1.4917% per month, which is an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE
RATE of 17.90%. When your account is current for six (6) billing
cycles, the rate will reduce to the rate then in effect for non-delinquent
accounts.
- Other Charges. The following other charges (fees) will be added
to your Account, as applicable:
a. Over-the-Credit-Limit Fee: You may be charged a fee of
$20.00 on a statement date if your New Balance on that date,
less any fees imposed during the cycle, is over your credit
limit. You will be charged the fee each subsequent month until
your New Balance on the statement date, less any fees imposed
during the cycle, is BELOW your credit limit.
b. Late Payment Fee: If you are five (5) or more days late
in making a payment, a late charge of $20.00 will be added
to your account.
c. Return Check Fee: If a check or share draft used to make
a payment on your account is returned unpaid, you will be
charged a fee of $20.00 for each item returned.
d. Card Replacement Fee: You will be charged $5.00 for each
replacement card that you request.
e. Document Copy Fee: You will be charged $1.00 for each copy
of a sales draft or statement that you request (except when
the request is made in connection with a billing error made
by the credit union).
f. Collection Costs: You promise to pay all costs of collecting
the amount you owe under this Agreement. These cost included
reasonable attorney fees not in excess of 15% of the unpaid
debt after default and referral to an attorney, not a salaried
employee of the credit union, unless you borrowed $1,000 or
less at an interest rate greater than 10% per year.
g. Rush Fee: $30.00.
- Payments. Each month you must pay at least the minimum payment
shown on your statement by the date specified on the statement
or no later than twenty-five (25) days from the statement closing
date, whichever is later. If your statement says the payment is
"Now Due," your payment is due no later than twenty-five
(25) days from the statement closing date. You may pay more frequently,
pay more than the minimum payment 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 each month your Account has
a balance (other than a credit balance). The minimum payment is
3% of your Total New Balance, or $15.00, whichever is greater,
plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that you have not
made, and any amount you are over your credit limit. The Credit
Union also has the right to demand immediate payment of any amount
by which you are over your credit limit.
- Payment Allocation. Subject to applicable law, your payments
may be applied to what you owe the Credit Union in any manner
the Credit Union chooses.
- Security Interest. 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. In addition, your Account is secured by all other shares
you have in any individual or joint account with the Credit Union,
except for shares in an Individual Retirement Account or in any
other account that would lose special tax treatment under state
or federal law if given as security. These other shares may be
withdrawn unless you are in default under this agreement. You
authorize the Credit Union to apply the balance in your individual
or joint share accounts to pay any amounts due on your Account
if you should default. 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.
- Default. You will be in default if you fail to make any minimum
payment or other required payment by the date that it is due.
You will be in default if you break any promise you make under
this Agreement. You will be in default if you die, file for bankruptcy
or become insolvent, that is, unable to pay your obligations when
they become due. You will be in default if you make any false
or misleading statements in any credit application or credit update.
You will also be in default if something happens that the Credit
Union believes may substantially reduce your ability to repay
what you owe. When you are in default, the Credit Union has the
right to demand immediate payment of your full Account balance
without giving you notice. If immediate payment is demanded, you
agree to continue paying finance charges, at the periodic rate
charged before default, until what you owe has been paid, and
any shares that were given as security for your Account may be
applied towards what you owe.
- Liability for Unauthorized Use-Lost/Stolen Card Notification.
You may be liable for the unauthorized use of your Credit Card.
You will not be liable for unauthorized use that occurs after
you notify us at P.O. Box 350, Tulsa, OK 74101 in writing or telephone
us at (800) 442-4757 twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days
a week, of the loss, theft, or possible unauthorized use. However,
if you exercise reasonable care in safeguarding your card from
risk of loss or theft, have not reported two or more incidents
of unauthorized use in the last twelve (12) months, and if your
account is in good standing, you will not be liable for any unauthorized
purchase transactions. In any case, your liability will not exceed
$50.
- Changing or Terminating Your Account. The Credit Union may change
the terms of this Agreement from time to time. Notice of any change
will be given in accordance with applicable law. If permitted
by law and specified in the notice to you, the change will apply
to your existing Account balance as well as to future transactions.
Either you or the Credit Union may terminate this Agreement at
any time, but termination by you or the Credit Union will not
affect your obligation to pay the Account balance plus any finance
and other charges you owe under this Agreement. You are also responsible
for all transactions made to your Account after termination, unless
the transactions were unauthorized. The Card or Cards you receive
remain the property of the Credit Union and you must recover and
surrender to the Credit Union all Cards upon request or upon termination
of this Agreement whether by you or the Credit Union. The Credit
Union has the right to require you to pay your full Account balance
at any time after your Account is terminated, whether it is terminated
by you or the Credit Union. If this is a joint Account, Section
17 of this Agreement also applies to termination of the Account.
- Credit Review and Release of Information. You authorize the
Credit Union to investigate your credit standing when opening
or reviewing your Account. You authorize the Credit Union to disclose
information regarding your Account to credit bureaus and creditors
who inquire about your credit standing. If your account is eligible
for emergency cash and/or emergency card replacement services,
and you request such services, you agree that we may provide personal
information about you and your account that is necessary to provide
you with the requested service(s).
- Returns and Adjustments. Merchants and others who honor your
Card may give credit for returns or adjustments, and they will
do so by sending the Credit Union a credit slip which will be
posted to your Account. If your credits and payments exceed what
you owe the Credit Union, the amount will be applied against future
purchases and cash advances. If the credit balance amount is $1
or more, it will be refunded upon your written request or automatically
after six (6) months.
- Additional Benefits/Card Enhancements. The Credit Union may
from time to time offer additional services to your Account, such
as travel accident insurance, at no additional cost to you. You
understand that the Credit Union is not obligated to offer such
services and may withdraw or change them at any time.
- Foreign Transactions. If you effect a transaction with your
MasterCard card in a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard
International Incorporated will convert the charge into a U.S.
dollar amount. MasterCard International will use its currency
conversion procedure, which is disclosed to institutions that
issue MasterCard cards. Currently the currency conversion rate
used by MasterCard International to determine the transaction
amount in U.S. dollars for such transactions is generally either
a government mandated rate or a wholesale rate determined by MasterCard
International for the processing cycle in which the transaction
is processed, increased by one percentage point. The currency
conversion rate used by MasterCard International on the processing
date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the
purchase date or cardholder statement posting date.
- Merchant Disputes. The Credit Union is not responsible for the
refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your
Card. The Credit Union is subject to claims and defenses (other
than tort claims) arising out of goods or services you purchase
with the Card if you have made a good faith attempt but have been
unable to obtain satisfaction from the merchant or service provider,
and (a) your purchase was made in response to an advertisement
the Credit Union sent or participated in sending to you; or (b)
your purchase cost more than $50 and was made in your state or
within one hundred (100) miles of your home.
- Joint Accounts. If this is a joint Account, each person on the
Account must sign the Agreement (by signing on the application).
Each of you will be individually and jointly responsible for paying
all amounts owed under this Agreement. This means that the Credit
Union can require any one of you individually to repay the entire
amount owed under this Agreement. Each of you authorizes the other(s)
to make purchases or cash advances individually. Any one of you
may terminate the Account and the termination will be effective
as to all of you.
- Effect of Agreement. This Agreement is the contract which applies
to all transactions on your Account even though the sales, cash
advances, credit or other slips you sign or receive may contain
different terms.
- No Waiver. The Credit Union can delay enforcing any of its
rights any number of times without losing them.
- Statements and Notices. Statements and notices will be mailed
to you at the most recent address you have given the Credit Union.
Notice sent to any one of you will be considered notice to all.
- Final Expression. This Agreement is the final expression of
the terms and conditions of this MasterCard line of credit between
you and the Credit Union. This written Agreement may not be contradicted
by evidence of any alleged oral agreement.
- Copy Received. You acknowledge that you have received a copy
of this Agreement.
- Signatures. By signing in the Signature area of the application
form that was attached to this Agreement when you received it,
you agree to the terms of this Agreement. You should detach this
Agreement from the application and retain it for your records.
YOUR BILLING RIGHTS
KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE
This notice contains important information about your rights and
our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
Notify Us In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Bill
If you think your bill is wrong, or if you need more information
about a transaction on your bill, write us on a separate sheet at
the
address listed on your bill. Write to us as soon as possible. We
must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent you
the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone
us, but doing so will not preserve your rights.
In your letter, give us the following information:
- Your name and account number.
- The dollar amount of the suspected error.
- Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe
there is an error. If you need more information, describe the
item you
are not sure about.
If you have authorized us to pay your credit card bill automatically
from your savings or share draft account, you can stop the payment
on any amount you think is wrong. To stop the payment your letter
must reach us three (3) business days before the automatic payment
is scheduled to occur.
Your Rights and Our Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written
Notice
We must acknowledge your letter within thirty (30) days, unless
we have corrected the error by then. Within ninety (90) days, we
must either correct the error or explain why we believe the bill
was correct.
After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount
you question, or report you as delinquent. We can continue to bill
you for the amount you question, including finance charges, and
we can apply an unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do
not have to pay any questioned amount while we are investigating,
but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that are
not in question.
If we find that we made a mistake on your bill, you will not have
to pay any finance charges related to any questioned amount. If
we didn't make a mistake, you may have to pay finance charges, and
you will have to make up any missed payments on the questioned amount.
In either case, we will send you a statement of the amount you owe
and the date that it is due.
If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report
you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not satisfy
you and you write to us within ten (10) days telling us that you
still refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you
have a question about your bill. And, we must tell you the name
of anyone we reported you to. We must tell anyone we report you
to that the matter has been settled between us when it finally is.
If we don't follow these rules, we can't collect the first $50 of
the questioned amount, even if your bill was correct.
Special Rule for Credit Card Purchases
If you have a problem with the quality of property or services
that you purchased with a 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 property or services.
There are two (2) limitations on this right:
(a) You must have made the purchase in your home state or, if
not within your home state, within one hundred (100) miles of
your current mailing address; and
(b) The purchase price must have been more than $50.
These limitations do not apply if we own or operate the merchant,
or if we mailed you the advertisement for the property or services. |
