Finance Charges. a. General Information; Annual Percentage Rates (APRs). We will not charge you interest on your Purchases if you pay your entire balance by your Payment Due Date each month and do not use your Account for Cash Advances, Balance Transfers or Convenience Checks prior to our receipt of payment. Your Payment Due Date is at least twenty-five days (25) after the close of your statement cycle. Otherwise, the New Balance and subsequent Purchases will be subject to interest from the posting date (which is the date that our credit card service processor posts the transaction to your Account). There is no grace period for Cash Advances or Balance Transfers. We will begin charging interest on Cash Advances, and Balance Transfers on the posting date. Convenience Checks, when available, will be treated like Balance Transfers for purposes of determining the interest charge. We calculate interest by applying the monthly periodic rates to the applicable Average Daily Balances of your Account, including current transactions. Periodic rates and Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) may increase or decrease every statement cycle, and are based on an index plus a margin. The margins, initial APRs and initial periodic rates are set forth in the Account Opening Disclosure for your Account. Should you choose not to accept the margins and APRs that apply to your Account, you may cancel your application prior to using the Account. For example, if the index is 5.00%, and if the margin applicable to your account is 8.40%, then we add the index and margin together to calculate the applicable APR: The index is the U.S. Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal. Please refer to the Account Opening Disclosure for information on how the APR will vary. The APRs applicable for a statement cycle will be set forth in the periodic statement for that statement cycle. We will not charge an APR greater than the maximum that we are permitted to charge by law (currently 18.0%). An increase in the APRs and the monthly periodic rates may result in higher interest charges and higher minimum payments, while a decrease in those rates may result in lower interest charges and lower minimum payments, assuming the same principal balance and number of days in the statement cycle. We separate (i) Purchases, (ii) Cash Advances, and (iii) Balance Transfers into three categories for purposes of determining the interest charges. We figure the interest charge for Purchases on your Account by applying the periodic rate to the “Average Daily Balance” of Purchases (including current Purchases). To get the “Average Daily Balance” of Purchases, we take the beginning Purchase Balance of your Account each day, add any new Purchases, and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits applied to your Purchase Balance. This gives us the Daily Balance for Purchases. Then, we add up all the Purchase Daily Balances for the statement cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the statement cycle. This gives us the “Average Daily Balance” for Purchases. We do the same for the other two categories, Cash Advances and Balance Transfers. Convenience Checks are treated as Balance Transfers for purposes of determining the interest charge. b. Introductory, Promotional and Special APRs. From time to time, we may offer an Introductory, Promotional or Special APRs. These Introductory, Promotional or Special APRs will be subject to the terms and conditions as outlined in the disclosures in effect during the Introductory, Promotional or Special period. Any Introductory, Promotional or Special APR that we may offer will be separately identified on your Periodic Statement as well as the Balance for which the APR applies. The separate Balance and the related interest charge will be calculated as described above. Upon expiration of the Introductory, Promotional or Special APR, the APR will be adjusted to the standard APR for the applicable category and will apply to the existing Balance upon termination of the Introductory, Promotional or Special APR. Balance Transfers and Convenience Checks payable to any HSFCU account (e.g., loans and credit cards issued by HSFCU), any Account owner, Account joint owner, or Account Card holder, or to obtain any Cash Advance do not qualify for any Introductory, Promotional or Special APRs.
