PERIODIC FINANCE CHARGE CALUCULATION METHOD

 

The periodic Finance Charge Calculation Method applicable to your account for Cash Advances and Credit purchases of goods and services that you obtain through the use of your Card is specified in Section I on the Disclosure above and explained below.

Method A, Average Daily Balance (including current transactions): The Finance Charge on purchases begins from the date the transaction is posted to your account and 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 is 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 your account. To get the average daily balance we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new purchases or cash advances, and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid finance charges. 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.

Method E, Average Daily Balance (excluding current transactions): To avoid incurring an additional Finance Charge on the balance of purchases (and cash advances if Method E is specified as applicable to cash advances) reflected on your monthly 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 extends to the Payment Due Date.

To get the average daily balance, we take the beginning balance of your account each day and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees, and unpaid finance charges. We do not add in new purchases or cash advances. 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.

Method F, Average Daily Balance (including current transactions): To avoid incurring an additional Finance Charge on the beginning balance of cash advances (and purchases, if Method F is specified as applicable to purchases) reflected on your monthly statement, you must pay the Beginning Balance shown on your monthly statement on or before the Payment Due Date. No grace period is provided for current cycle transactions.
