You must pay us (or if we elect, to any party to whom we transfer and assign your account) according to the terms and conditions of the account.
Conditions under which you will be charged Interest.
(1) Purchases. Interest will accrue from the date posted on transactions for purchases posted during a billing cycle when there is a previous balance and it is not paid in full within the first 25 days of the billing cycle. Interest that will accrue from the first day of the next billing cycle will also be imposed on purchases included in the new balance when the entire new balance is not paid in full within 25 days after the closing date.
(2) Cash Advances and Balance Transfers. Interest is computed on a periodic rate basis will be imposed on cash advances from the date posted to the account to the date paid. Interest accrued on cash advances between the closing date of the billing cycle and the date your account is credited will appear on your next statement. There is no time period to avoid paying interest.
(3) If your account is subject to interest charges, then the more that you pay and the sooner you pay, the less your interest charges will be.
The Method of determining the balance upon which interest will be charged.
(1) We calculate the interest on cash advances by applying a periodic rate to the “Average Daily Balance” of cash advances on your account (including current transactions for cash advances). To determine the “Average Daily Balance” of cash advances we begin with the previous day’s ending principal cash advance balance (fees not included). To this balance for each day in the billing period, we add new cash advances, new balance transfers, other debit transactions; then
subtract any principal payments or credits. The sum of the ending daily balances for the billing period is then divided by the number of days in the billing period. The result is the “Average Daily Balance” of cash advances.
(2) We calculate the interest on purchases by applying a periodic rate to the “Average Daily Balance” of purchases on your account (including current transactions for purchases). To determine the “Average Daily Balance” of purchases we begin with the previous day’s ending principal purchase balance (fees not included). To this balance, for each day in the billing period we add new purchases and other debit transactions; then subtract any principal payments or credits. The sum of the ending daily balances for the billing period is then divided by the number of days in the billing period. The result is the “Average Daily
Balance” of purchases. If the entire previous balance is paid in full within the first 25 days of the billing period, the “Average Daily Balance” of purchases will be considered $0.
The amount of Interest imposed during a billing cycle will be determined by.
(1) Multiplying the “Average Daily Balance” of Cash Advances by the monthly periodic rate for Cash Advances; the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate is determined by multiplying the monthly periodic rate by 12.
(2) Multiplying the “Average Daily Balance” of Purchases by the monthly periodic rate for Purchases; the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate is determined by multiplying the monthly periodic rate by 12.
(3) Adding the result of item (1) and (2).
(4) Annual Percentage Rates (APR) and corresponding Monthly Periodic Rates used to calculate interest are:
a. VISA Platinum -7.9% APR; Monthly Periodic Rate .6583%
b. VISA Classic Secured -15.00% APR; Monthly Periodic Rate 1.250%
c. VISA Classic -12.00% APR; Monthly Periodic Rate 1.000%
