Authorization: If my application is approved, I authorize First National Bank in Brookings to do the following: draft $100 from my existing checking account and charge my new credit card account $200. The funds will be deposited in my new savings account at First National Bank to secure my new credit card account.
Finance Charges: Your Account will also be subject to the following finance charges, each of which will be billed to your Account as a Purchase:
Periodic Finance Charges: A FINANCE CHARGE is imposed on Purchases beginning the date the Purchase is posted to your Account. No FINANCE CHARGE will be imposed on your Purchases if you pay your New Balance in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly statement, including any Cash Advances or ATM transactions owed on your Account, and there are no Cash Advances or ATM transactions outstanding on your Account after the Billing Cycle Closing Date. A FINANCE CHARGE is imposed on Cash Advances and ATM transactions beginning on the date they are obtained and continues until the balance of your Account is paid in full. There is no time in which you can pay the balance of Cash Advances or ATM transactions in order to completely avoid a FINANCE CHARGE.
Computing Periodic Finance Charges: The FINANCE CHARGE is determined by multiplying the Average Daily Balance for Purchases and for Cash Advances outstanding during the monthly billing cycle by the monthly Periodic Rate. The monthly Periodic Rate for Purchases and Cash Advance balances is 1.65% which is equivalent to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 19.8%. The minimum FINANCE CHARGE is $.50.
The Average Daily Balance is computed by taking the beginning balance of your Account on each day, calculated separately for Purchases and Cash Advances, adding new Purchases and/or Cash Advances and subtracting any payments or credits to get each day's daily balance. The daily balances are then added together and divided by the number of days in the billing cycle to get the Average Daily Balance.
Cash Advances: In addition to the monthly calculation of the Cash Advance FINANCE CHARGE, there is an additional FINANCE CHARGE of 3% (minimum $3.00) for each Cash Advance posted to your Account that month.
Collateral Savings Account Disclosure. An interest rate of 2.97% will be paid only for that portion of the daily balance of your Collateral Savings Account that is greater than $2,000.00. The annual percentage yield on this portion of your Collateral Savings Account is 3.00%. You will be paid this rate for at least 30 calendar days. No interest is paid on any portion of the daily balance in your Collateral Savings Account which is $2,000.00 or less. If the rate decreases, you will be notified in writing at least 30 calendar days before the new rate takes effect. The annual percentage yield assumes interest remains on deposit until the Collateral Savings Account is closed. A withdrawal of interest will reduce earnings. Interest for your Collateral Savings Account will be paid using the simple interest method and will be credited to your Collateral Savings Account on the last business day of the quarter. Interest is compounded quarterly. Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit any non-cash item (for example, checks). You must deposit $200.00 to open this Collateral Savings Account.
We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your Collateral Savings Account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the Collateral Savings Account each day.
There are no fees associated with this Collateral Savings Account. This Collateral Savings Account is pledged by you to secure your credit card Account with us and, accordingly, you may not withdraw either the principal or interest in this Collateral Savings Account until 60 days after you have closed your credit card Account with us, and paid the balance owed on the account, including interest and fees, in full. We reserve the right to at any time require not less than seven (7) days' notice in writing before any withdrawal from an interest-bearing account. This Collateral Savings Account is not capable of electronic fund transfers.

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 any 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 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 has.
If we don't follow these rules, we can't collect the first $50 of the questioned amount, even if your bill was correct.
