6. Daily Periodic Rate <strong>and</strong> Annual Percentage RateThe Daily Periodic Rate <strong>and</strong> corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE used to calculate the FINANCE CHARGE is a fixed rate. The Daily PeriodicRate <strong>and</strong> corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for your Account is stated on the separate Rate <strong>and</strong> Fee Disclosure.a. Default Rate: If your Account is considered in default for any reason <strong>and</strong> your credit privileges terminated, <strong>BECU</strong> reserves the right to change theDaily Periodic Rate used in calculating the FINANCE CHARGE (<strong>and</strong> corresponding Annual Percentage Rate) for Purchases, Cash Advances <strong>and</strong> anyPrevious Balance up to the highest rate allowed by law.7. Finance Chargesa. Purchases: A finance charge will be imposed on purchases included in the new balance when the entire new balance is not paid within 25 days afterthe closing date of the billing cycle. Finance charges will be imposed on purchases made <strong>and</strong>/or outst<strong>and</strong>ing during a billing cycle when you do not payor otherwise satisfy the entire Previous Balance during the first 25 days of the same billing cycle.b. Cash Advances: A finance charge will be imposed on Cash Advances (including Balance Transfers) as follows: (1) On each Cash Advance,excluding Balance Transfers, a Cash Advance Fee (FINANCE CHARGE) of 2% of the amount of the Cash Advance, not to exceed $10.00. (2) Onall Cash Advances, including Balance Transfers, finance charges as described in section 8, regardless of the amount of the Cash Advance, apply fromthe date of the Cash Advance until paid in full.8. How to Determine Finance Chargesa. The types of FINANCE CHARGES that may be assessed on your Account are as follows:Monthly periodic rate finance charges <strong>and</strong> transaction finance charges. Your total FINANCE CHARGES each billing cycle is the sum of each type offinance charges.b. Calculation of Finance Charge:All finance charges for Purchases <strong>and</strong> Cash Advances are added together to calculate the annual percentage rate for each billing cycle.Calculation of Finance Charges for Cash AdvancesA Finance Charge on Cash Advances will be imposed from the date the Cash Advance is posted to your account until paid in full.

Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle<strong>and</strong> divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle.Calculation of Finance Charges for PurchasesTo avoid incurring additional Finance Charges on the balance of the Purchases reflected on this statement, you must pay the New Balance on or beforethe Payment Due Date. We calculate the Finance Charge by multiplying the Average Daily Balance by the number of days in the billing cycle <strong>and</strong> thenmultiplying by the Daily Periodic Rate. We calculate the Average Daily Balance of Purchases by taking the beginning balance of your account each daythat is attributable to Purchases, add any new Purchases as of the date those charges are posted to your Account <strong>and</strong> subtract any payments, credits,<strong>and</strong> unpaid Finance Charges <strong>and</strong> other charges (unless you have been notified in advance that Return Check Charges will have Finance Chargesassessed). Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle <strong>and</strong> divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle.9. Other Fees <strong>and</strong> Chargesa. An Overlimit Fee of $25.00 will be assessed when the new balance on the closing exceeds your credit limit.b.
