(1) Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) may
vary. For purchases and balance transfers, the APR, adjustable quarterly, is a
variable rate based on the highest prime rate published in the Money Rates
section of The Wall Street Journal ("Index") plus a margin of 4.00 percentage
points for Visa Cards, currently 11.25% (.030822% corresponding Daily Periodic
Rate) and rounded to the nearest hundredth divisible by twelve. However, your
APR will not be less than 7.99% or more than 18%.
(2) The APR for Cash Advances for Visa Cards is based on the Index plus 8.00
percentage points, adjustable quarterly, with a 7.99% minimum and a 18%
maximum. Based on that formula, the current rate would be 15.25% (.041781%
corresponding Daily Periodic Rate) and rounded to the nearest hundredth
divisible by twelve.
(3) Average Daily Balance (for Purchases and Balance Transfers). To
avoid incurring an additional Finance Charge on the balance of Purchases and
Balance Transfers, reflected on your monthly statement and on any new Purchases
and Balance Transfers appearing on your next statement, you must pay the New
Balance shown on your monthly statement on or before the Payment Due Date. The
grace period for the New Balance of Purchases and Balance Transfers extends to
the payment due date. The finance charges for a billing cycle are computed by
applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the "average daily balance" of Purchases
and Balance Transfers. To get an average daily balance, we take the beginning
balance of your account each day, add new Purchases and Balance Transfers, and
subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid finance charges
that were applied to the Purchases and Balance Transfers portion of your
account. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances
for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing
cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of Purchases and Balance
Transfers.
Average Daily Balance (for Cash Advances). The Finance Charge on Cash
Advances begins from the date you obtained the Cash Advance, or the first day
of the billing cycle in which it posted to your account, whichever is later.
There is no grace period. The Finance Charges for a billing cycle are computed
by applying the monthly Periodic Rate to the "average daily balance" of cash
advances posted to your account. To get the average daily balance, we take the
beginning balance of your account each day, add any new Cash Advances, and
subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid finance charges
that were applied to the Cash Advances portion of your account. This gives us
the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle
and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us
the average daily balance of Cash Advances.
On the last business day of March, June, September and December we determine
the Index for the following quarter. This disclosure is accurate as of
March 2008. Because rates and terms are subject to change, you may contact
us for the current information by calling us at 888-366-6622 or by writing us
at: American Bank, 4029 W. Tilghman Street, Allentown, PA 18104.
(4) Late Charge: If the minimum required payment is not received
within 15 days after the Closing Date subsequent to the Payment Due Date, a
late charge of $20 will be imposed.
(5) Over Limit Fee:This fee is applied when a balance is 10% or
more over limit.
