If you pay less than the full credit card balance each month, you should consider interest charged against any potential savings towards your student loans.

How We Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called the average daily balance method (including new purchases). See your Cardmember Agreement for details.

Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in your Cardmember Agreement.

Loss of Introductory APR: If you make a late payment, we may end offering you a lower introductory APR and begin charging you the higher APR (for Balance Transfers) that is specified in the table above and scheduled to take effect after the introductory APR is no longer effective.

Your APRs are variable rates that will be calculated by adding a “spread” or “margin” to an index. The index is the Prime Rate as published in the “Money Rates’ section of The Wall Street Journal. At the end of your billing period, we look at the Prime Rate as published on the last business day of the previous calendar month to determine your index. An increase or decrease in the index will cause a corresponding increase or decrease in your variable rates effective as of the first day of your billing cycle that begins in the same month in which such change in the index is published. If the APR increases you will pay a higher interest Charge and may have a higher Minimum Payment. If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish the Prime Rate, or if it changes the definition of the U.S. Prime Rate, we may in our sole discretion, substitute another index.

Once any introductory APR period has expired, to determine the APR for Purchases, we add 10.74% – 19.74% to the Prime Rate, to determine the APR for Balance Transfers, we add 10.74% – 19.74% to the Prime Rate and to determine the APR for Cash Advances, we add 20.74% to the Prime Rate. All rates are determined based on creditworthiness.

Rates, fees and other information contained within this disclosure are accurate as of 11/08/24 and were in effect within 30 days of this form being provided, but are subject to change after that date. You should contact Laurel Road for any changes in this information since it was printed at 1-833-427-2265 (1-833-HCP- BANK) or Dial 711 for TTY/TRS.

Disclaimers

All credit products are subject to credit approval.

You will earn 2.0% in Cashback Rewards for each $1 spent on eligible Purchases if you redeem your Cashback Rewards towards your Student Loan with an eligible servicer. This equates to $0.02 in Cashback Rewards, for each $1 spent. For example, if you spend $100, you will earn $2.00 in Student Loan Credit. You will earn 1.0% in Cashback Rewards for each $1 spent on eligible Purchases if redeemed for a statement credit. This equates to $0.01 in Cashback Rewards, for each $1 spent. For example, if you spend $100, you will earn $1.00 in Cashback Rewards. Cashback is awarded based on eligible credit card purchases excluding transactions such as cash advances of any type, balance transfers, convenience check transactions, overdraft protection transfers and quasi-cash transactions.

See Terms and Conditions below for more information.

0% Intro APR for the first 12 months on balance transfers when you transfer your balance within the first 60 days of account opening. After that, the variable APR on balance transfers will be 18.49% to 27.49% based on creditworthiness. This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. Balance transfer fee is either $10.00 or 3% of the amount of each transaction, whichever is greater.

DO YOU PAY YOUR BALANCE IN FULL EACH MONTH?

If you always pay your balance in full each month, you do not pay interest on your purchases. This is called a grace period. You will lose this grace period if you transfer a balance and do not pay off your entire balance by the payment due date. Even if you pay off all of your purchases in full each month, you will begin to pay interest on those purchases. To avoid interest on purchases, you must pay the entire balance (including the balance transfer amount) each month by the payment due date. Here’s an example: Let’s say you complete a balance transfer or write a $1,000 convenience check. No matter how else you use your card, that part of the balance has the disclosed Introductory APR for the disclosed amount of billing cycles from account opening. Then you make a $500 purchase with your card. Purchases are charged the disclosed purchase APR from the transaction date once you lose your grace period. If you do not pay the entire $1,500 by the payment due date you will have lost your grace period and therefore you will pay the disclosed purchase interest APR on the $500 in card purchases from the transaction date.

Introductory offer: For a limited time earn a cashback reward after spending $3,000 within the first 90 days of account opening. Offer is subject to change at any time. The cashback reward amount will be $300 if redeemed towards student loans with an eligible servicer. The cashback reward amount will be $150 if redeemed for statement credit. Cashback is awarded based on eligible credit card purchases.

  - Change how you earn Cashback Rewards
  - Change how you use or redeem your Cashback Rewards

  - If we add or increase fees applicable to the Program
  - If we change the rate at which you earn your Cashback Rewards
  - If we limit the amount of Cashback Rewards you can earn
  - If we cancel the Program
  We will provide you notice of these types of changes in writing, which, at our option, may be delivered to you electronically through email or through our online services.
3. Other notices. We will provide notice of other changes to the Program or these Terms by posting an updated copy of these Terms when you log into our website, https://laurelroad.com/creditcard.
How you can earn Cashback Rewards. You earn Cashback Rewards when you, or an Authorized User, uses a Card to make most Purchases of goods and services, minus refunds or returns. The Account and your Cashback Rewards are for personal, family and household use, and we reserve the right to disallow or remove Cashback Rewards awarded for Purchase made for other than personal, family or household use. Additionally, certain transactions do not count as Purchases for purposes of earning Cashback Rewards:
- balance transfers
- Cash Advances (such as the purchase of cash or cash equivalents, including casino chips, lottery tickets, or money orders) or ATM disbursements
- person-to-person money transfer
- use of any Convenience Checks
- interest on your Account
- unauthorized or fraudulent charges
- fees of any kind, as applicable
Your Cashback Rewards are stored in your Account in dollars and cents and rounded to the nearest cent. We will add Cashback Rewards to your Account at the end of each day, based on the Purchases made by you, or an Authorized User, that post to your Account during the day, but minus any returns or refunds. The rate you earn on your Cashback Rewards on a transaction depends on the date on which your Purchase posts to your Account, which may be up to two (2) business days after you make the transaction. Your Cashback Rewards amount will be displayed on our website, at https://laurelroad.key.com and on your Monthly Statement. There may be a delay between when your Cashback Rewards are added to your Account and when they are visible to you on the website. We may, from time to time, offer additional ways for you to view your Cashback Rewards amount, such as through our mobile applications.
What You Will Earn. You will earn 1% in Cashback Rewards for each $1 spent on eligible Purchases if redeemed for a statement credit. This equates to $0.01 in Cashback Rewards, for each $1 spent. For example, if you spend $100, you will earn $1.00 in Cashback Rewards. You will earn 2.0% in Cashback Rewards for each $1 spent on eligible Purchases if you redeem your Cashback Rewards towards your Student Loan. This equates to $0.02 in Cashback Rewards, for each $1 spent. For example, if you spend $100, you will earn $2.00 in Student Loan Credit.
Redeeming Your Cashback Rewards. You can redeem your Cashback Rewards at any time by visiting our website, at https://laurelroad. key.com, or by calling us at the number on the back of your Card. You may elect to redeem your Cashback Rewards either as a statement credit to your Account or a Student Loan Credit. No other redemption options are available. You may redeem your Cashback Rewards starting at a penny, and there is no maximum redemption limit.
1. Redeeming for a Statement Credit. A statement credit will reduce your Account Balance. Statement credits appear on your Bill as an adjustment and not as a Payment, so you must continue to pay your Minimum Payment due each month. Receipt of a statement credit does not affect your responsibility to pay your Minimum Payment, as shown on your Monthly Statement. The statement credit will generally be processed within 7 business days from the date you redeem your Cashback Rewards.
2. Redeeming for a Student Loan Credit. If you elect to redeem your Cashback Rewards for a Student Loan Credit, we will issue the payment to your applicable Servicer within ten (10) business days. Once the Student Loan Credit is issued to your Servicer, you understand and agree that we shall have no further responsibility or control over how quickly your Servicer may post the Student Loan Credit to your Student Loan or how it may be applied to the balance of your Student Loan. If your Servicer returns the Student Loan Credit to us, such amount will be returned to your Cashback Rewards balance and will again be available for redemption.
Expiration of Cashback Rewards. Your Cashback Rewards have no expiration. However, provided your Account is not in Default, we will automatically issue a statement credit to your Account if your Account is closed, if we are notified of your death and you are the sole owner of your Account, or if your Account has become inactive. Your Account becomes inactive when you do not make any eligible Purchases for a twelve (12) month period. If your Account becomes, and remains, inactive, a statement credit will be issued to your Account within five (5) business days of December 31 each year.
When You Will Not Be Able to Earn or Redeem Your Cashback Rewards. We may temporarily suspend your Account from earning Cashback Rewards, or using Cashback Rewards you have already earned, if any of the following occurs:
- If you do not make your Minimum Payment on your Account by the Due Date.
- If we believe you have engaged in fraudulent activity related to your Account or the Program.
- If we believe you have misused the Program in any way. Examples include, but are not limited to:
  - Buying or selling any Cashback Rewards
  - Moving or transferring Cashback Rewards to an ineligible third party or account
  - Repeatedly opening, or otherwise maintaining, credit card accounts for the purpose of generating Cashback Rewards
If we suspend your participation in the Program, you may begin earning and using Cashback Rewards again in the next Billing Period after your Account is current or when we no longer suspect fraud or misuse of the Account or Program.
When You May Lose Your Cashback Rewards. Your Cashback Rewards do not expire, subject to Section 6 of these Terms, as long as your Account is open. If you lose your Cashback Rewards pursuant to these Terms, we will not reinstate them unless we have made an error.
1. Immediate Loss of Cashback Rewards. However, you will immediately lose any earned Cashback Rewards if your Account status changes, or your Account is closed for Default, for any of the following reasons:
  - You fail to make the Minimum Payment due on your Account within 60 days of the Due Date.
  - You fail to comply with these Terms or other agreements you have with us related to your Account.
  - We believe you may be unwilling or unable to pay your debts on time.
  - You file for bankruptcy.
  - We believe you have engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity related to your Account or the Program.
  - We believe you have misused the Program in any way, including, but not limited to, the circumstances outlined above in Section 7 of these Terms.
2. Other Times You May Lose Your Cashback Rewards.
  1. Other Account Closures. If your Account is closed for any other reason, you will have at least 30 days from the date your Account is closed to redeem your Cashback Rewards; provided, however, that you have not already lost your Cashback Rewards for any of the reasons outlined in these Terms. If you do not redeem your Cashback Rewards before the end of the redemption period we provide you, you will lose any remaining earned Cashback Rewards.
  2. Cancellation of the Program. If we decide to terminate the Program, you will have at least 30 days from the date we cancel the Program to redeem your Cashback Rewards; provided, however, that you have not lost your Cashback Rewards for any of the other reasons outlined in these Terms. If you do not redeem your Cashback Rewards before the end of the redemption period we provide you, you will lose any remaining earned Cashback Rewards.
Communications. We may send you communications about the Program at any mailing or email address we have for you in our records, or through our website, https://laurelroad.key.com, or our mobile applications. We may change or terminate all, or part, of these Terms. Any such changes to these Terms will be in accordance with applicable law, and we will provide you with notice as required by law.
Other Important Information.
1. Cashback Rewards cannot be transferred or moved unless expressly provided for in these Terms. Additionally, Cashback Rewards cannot otherwise be transferred by operation of law, such as by inheritance, in bankruptcy, or in connection with a divorce.
2. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party, who will then be entitled to any of our rights that we assign them.
3. We are not responsible for any disputes you may have with any Authorized Users on your Account about the Program.
4. We, and our affiliates, directors, officers, employers, agents, or contractors make no representations or warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or use, and otherwise arising from law, custom, usage, trade practices, course of dealing, or course of performance. You release us, and our affiliates, directors, officers, employers, agents, and contractors for all activity in connection with the Program, including, but not limited to, use of the Program, and any redemption of Cashback Rewards through the Program.
5. You agree to indemnify us, and our affiliates, directors, officers, employers, agents, or contractors harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) arising from you or your Authorized Users’ use of the Program, any fraud or misuse of the Program, violation of these Terms, and/or violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
6. The Program is void where prohibited by federal, state, or local law.
7. These Terms and the Program will be governed by federal law, and to the extent state law is applicable, the laws of the state of Ohio, and these laws will apply no matter where you are or use the Program.
8. We may enforce these Terms at any time. We may delay enforcement without losing our right to enforce these Terms at a later time. If any provision of these Terms are determined to be void or unenforceable under any law, rule or regulation, all other provisions of these Terms will remain valid and enforceable.
