business with us. For example, if you are applying for a loan, we

we have asked them to perform for you and us.
Sharing information in other situations

Interest
A lender may charge and collect interest in respect to a revolving
credit plan or closed-end loan at such a daily, weekly monthly,
annual, or other periodic percentage rate or rates as the
agreement governing the plan or loan provides, or as established
in the manner provided in such agreement. Periodic interest may be
calculated on a revolving credit plan using any balance
computation method provided for in the agreement governing the
plan. Periodic interest may be calculated on a closed-end loan by
way of simple interest or such other method as the agreement
governing the loan provides.
If the agreement governing the revolving credit plan or closed-end
loan so provides, the periodic percentage rate or rates of
interest may vary in accordance with a schedule or formula. Such
periodic percentage rate or rates may vary from time to time as
the rate determined in accordance with such schedule or formula
varies and such periodic percentage rate or rates, as so varied,
may be made applicable to all or any part of the outstanding
unpaid indebtedness or outstanding unpaid amounts. In the case of
revolving credit, such rate shall become applicable on or after
the first day of the billing cycle that contains the effective
date of such variation. In the case of closed-end loan
transactions, such rate may be made applicable to all or any part
of the outstanding unpaid amounts on and after the effective date
of such variation. Without limitation, a permissible schedule or
formula hereunder may include provisions in the agreement
governing the revolving credit plan or closed-end loan agreement
for a change in the periodic percentage rate or rates of interest
applicable to all or any part of outstanding unpaid indebtedness
or outstanding unpaid amounts, whether by variation of the then
applicable periodic percentage rate or rates of interest,
variation of an index or margin or otherwise, contingent upon the
happening of any event or circumstance specified in the plan or
agreement, which event or circumstance may include the failure of
the borrower to perform in accordance with the terms of the
revolving credit plan or loan agreement.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR APPLYING FOR OR OPENING
A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial
institutions to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means to you: when you apply for or open an account, we
will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other
information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see
your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
