Recurring Transactions If you intend to use the Card for recurring transactions, you should monitor your balance and ensure you have funds available in your Card Account to cover the transactions. “Recurring Transactions” are transactions that are authorized in advance by you to be charged to your Card at substantially regular intervals. If these Recurring Transactions may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay should tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.) If you have told us in advance to make Recurring Transactions from your Card Account, you can stop the payment by calling us at 0-000-000-0000 or writing us at 0000 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx# 000, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000xx time for us to receive your request at least three (3) business days before the scheduled date of the payment. If you call, we also may require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we may be liable for your losses or damages. If you have authorized a merchant to make the recurring payment, you should also contact the applicable merchant in order to stop the transaction.
