IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. If you make a charge or receive a refund in a currency other than Canadian dollars that charge or refund will be converted into Canadian dollars by our currency conversion affiliate, AE Exposure Management Limited (AEEML). The conversion will take place on the date the charge or refund is processed by us, which may not be the same date on which you made your charge or received your refund as it depends on when the charge or refund was submitted to us. This means that the exchange rate used by AEEML may differ from the rate that is in effect on the date of your transaction or refund. Exchange rate fluctuations can be significant. This conversion rate is set by AEEML on each weekday except January 1 and December 25 (each, a rate selection day). If the charge or refund is not in U.S. dollars, the conversion will be made through U.S. dollars, by converting the charge or refund amount into U.S. dollars and then by converting the U.S. dollar amount into Canadian dollars. If the charge or refund is in U.S. dollars, it will be converted directly into Canadian dollars. Conversion commissions we apply to original charges will not be returned on refunds. Conversion rates applied to refunds may differ from conversion rates applied to original charges. As a result, the amount of the refund will generally differ from the amount of the original charge. However, we do not charge an additional currency conversion commission on a refund. Unless a specific exchange rate is either required by law, or is used as a matter of local custom or convention (in which case AEEML will look to be consistent with that custom or convention), AEEML’s conversion rates are based on interbank rates selected from customary industry sources on the rate selection day prior to the processing date, which we increase by a single conversion commission as specified in the information box and disclosure statement or as otherwise disclosed by us. If charges are converted by third parties prior to being submitted to us, any conversions made by those third parties will be at rates selected by them and may include a commission or charge, also selected by the third party. It is your decision whether to use the third party currency conversion or not. You should check the rates and charges before completing the transaction. When a transaction is converted by a third party and is submitted to us in Canadian dollars, we will not apply a currency conversion commission.

If a charge is refunded in a currency other than Canadian dollars, • the conversion on the refund will take place on the date it is processed by us, • any conversion commission charged on the original charge will not be returned on the refund, and • the currency conversion rate applied to the refund may differ from the conversion rate applied to the original charge. As a result, the amount of the refund will generally differ from the amount of the original charge. However, we do not charge an additional currency conversion commission on a refund.
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Transactions, returns and credits made in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted into U.S. dollars. We do not add any foreign exchange rate fee to these Transactions. The conversion will be performed by Mastercard International, the payment network associated with your Account (the "Network"). The Network follows its own methods for conversions that are subject to change. The conversion will occur on the day the Transaction, return or credit is processed by the Network, which may be different than the date of the Transaction, return or credit. As a result, the conversion rate may differ from the rate as of a Transaction date or the date a Transaction is posted on your Account.
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. If you make a transaction in a foreign currency, the transaction will be converted by the Network, into a U.S. dollar amount in accordance with its operating regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the transaction is processed. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction or posting date. The Network may change the procedures, from time to time, at its own discretion. HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS When you make a payment, we generally apply it to the balance on your monthly statement with the highest APR first. We apply payments to balances appearing on your monthly billing statement before being applied to new transactions. An example of a new transaction is a recent purchase or cash advance that has not yet been included in the New Balance as shown on your statement. If you do not pay your non-promotional balance in full each month, you may not be able to avoid interest charges on new purchases. GETTING ADDITIONAL CARDS You may: • request additional Cards for others; and/or • permit others to use your Card or Account Number. You are responsible for all charges made on additional Account Cards or by authorized users. To revoke another person’s permission to use your Account, you must: • notify us; and • retrieve and destroy any Cards, checks or other Account access devices from that person. • We may provide information about this account to credit reporting agencies for both the Primary Cardmember and Authorized Users, if any. UPDATING YOUR RECORDS You agree:
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. If you obtain funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card Account was issued, the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by the Card Network into an amount in the currency of your Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by the Card Network from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate the Card Network itself receives or the government- mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The Card Network (independently of us) may assess a fee for currency conversion based upon the amount of the transaction in the currency of your Card Account and will retain this amount as compensation for its services. The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction and the date it is posted to your account.
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. If you make a charge in a currency other than Australian dollars that charge will be converted into Australian dollars. The conversion will take place on the date the charge is processed by us, which may not be the same date on which you made your charge as it depends on when the charge was submitted to us. If the charge is not in U.S. dollars, the conversion will be made through U.S. dollars, by converting the charge amount into U.S. dollars and then by converting the U.S. dollar amount into Australian dollars. If the charge is in U.S. dollars, it will be converted directly into Australian dollars. Unless a specific rate is required by applicable law, you understand and agree that the American Express treasury system will use conversion rates based on interbank rates that it selects from customary industry sources on the business day prior to the processing date, increased by a single conversion commission as set out in the Financial Table or as otherwise disclosed by us. If charges are converted by third parties prior to being submitted to us, any conversions made by those third parties will be at rates and may include a commission selected by them. The amount of any refund of a charge made in foreign currency will generally differ from the amount of the original charge because: • in most cases, the rate applied to any refund will differ from the original rate applied to the charge; and • any currency conversion commission charged on the original purchase is not refunded. However, we do not charge an additional currency conversion commission on the refunded amount.
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Transactions made in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars under the current regulations of Visa®, MasterCard® or the Visa®/PLUS® ATM Network. Those regulations currently provide that the conversion rate may be either (a) a wholesale market rate; or (b) a government-mandated rate. Visa® and MasterCard® currently use the rate in effect on the date they process your transaction. The currency conversion rate in effect on the date your transaction is processed may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date. The Visa®/PLUS® ATM Network currently uses the rate in effect on the transaction date.
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. If you make a transaction in a foreign currency, the transaction will be converted by Visa International into a U.S. dollar amount in accordance with the operating regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the transaction is processed. Currently, those regulations and procedures provide that the currency conversion rate to be used is either (1) a wholesale market rate or (2) a government- mandated rate in effect one day prior to the processing date. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date. The APR or “Annual Percentage Rate” is an annualized interest rate. Our interest rates are currently variable rates. This means that they can change over time. How To Calculate Variable Rates - Variable Rates are calculated by adding together an “index” rate and a “margin”. The index rate is U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. Margin will be determined by your creditworthiness and outlined in the Interest Rate and Interest Charges table. • Index - Is the highest U.S. Prime Rate as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal two (2) business days (not weekends or Federal holidays) before the closing date shown on your Billing Statement. • The APR may increase or decrease each month if the Prime Rate changes. • An increase or decrease in the Index will cause a corresponding increase or decrease in your variable rates on the first day of your billing cycle that begins in the same month in which the index is published. • An increase in the index means that you will pay higher interest charges and may have a higher Total Minimum Payment Due. • A decrease in the index means that you will pay lower interest charges and may have a lower Total Minimum Payment Due. • In General, we calculate the interest charge separately for each transaction type (purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances) as well as for any applicable promotional rate. This means that your Account may have separate balances for each transaction type. • If The Wall Street Journal does not publish the U.S. Prime Rate, or if it changes the definition of the U.S. Prime Rate, we may, in our sole discretion, substitute another Index. Some of your balances may be considered “Protected Balances” if we raise your variable interest rate due to a change in the Cash or Purchase Margin as outlined above. Protected Balances may also result if we modify your interest...
IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. If you obtain funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which the Card was issued, the amount deducted from the available balance of the Card Account will be converted by Visa into an amount in the currency of the Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. If you obtain funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which the Card was issued, the Issuer may assess a foreign currency conversion fee of 2.95% of the transaction amount and will retain this amount as compensation for its services. Transactions made outside the fifty (50) U.S. states and the District of Columbia are also subject to this conversion fee even if they are completed in U.S. currency.
