Fees

Set-up and Maintenance Fees	NOTICE: Some of these set-up and maintenance fees will be assessed before you begin using your card and will reduce the amount of credit you initially have available. For example, if your minimum credit limit is $200, your initial available credit limit will be only about $164.
Annual Fee	$36 the first year. Billed $3 per month thereafter.
Account Set-up Fee	$0

Transaction Fees
Cash Advance	Either $10 or 4% of the amount of each cash advance, whichever is greater.
Foreign Transaction	2% of each transaction in U.S. Dollars.
Penalty Fees
Late Payment	Up to $40
Over Limit	$0

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "average daily balances (including new purchases)." See your Cardholder Agreement for more details.

Annual Percentage Rates: Daily Periodic Rate for Purchases 0.06219%; Daily Periodic Rate for Cash Advances 0.07589%.

Variable Rate Information: Purchase Margin 15.20 percentage points; Cash Advance Margin 20.20 percentage points. Your APR for Purchases and Cash Advances may vary. The rate is determined by adding the appropriate margin shown to the Prime Rate*. If the Prime Rate* increases, your APR will increase accordingly, with no cap. An increase in your APR will result in an increase of your minimum payment amount.

*"Prime Rate" means the prime rate of interest published on the last business day of each month in The Wall Street Journal (or a comparable rate if The Wall Street Journal ceases publication).

The information about the costs of the card described in this solicitation is accurate as of 07/01/2025. This information may have changed after that date. To find out what may have changed, and to get the most current rates, please write to us at Merrick Bank, P.O. Box 5000, Draper, Utah 84020-5000. Subject to applicable law, the Cardholder Agreement also permits Merrick Bank to make changes to the Terms and Conditions of the Account after the Account is opened.

Minimum Payment: All past-due amounts, any Annual Fee billed monthly, any Additional Card Fee billed monthly plus the greater of the following amounts: (i) 1% of your New Balance plus Late Fees, Cash Advance Transaction Fees, Over Limit Fees, Returned Payment Fees, and Interest Charges billed during the Billing Cycle for which the Minimum Payment is calculated, as shown on that periodic statement, rounded to the next-higher dollar; or (ii) $35. If the New Balance is less than $35, the Minimum Payment will be the total amount owed.
