* Personal Line of Credit – Terms & Conditions: The APR for new advances and existing balances is subject to change on the first day of the month to reflect any change in the index. The index is the Prime Rate. The margin is 4% for A paper, 5% for B paper, 7% for C paper and 9% for D paper. The APR is determined by adding the % shown above (margin) plus the index rounded to the nearest 1/8th percent. Effective May 1, 2009: The APR will not exceed 18% or go below 9% for A paper, 10% for B paper, 12% for C paper and 14% for D paper. Any increase in the APR will take the form of more payments of the same amount. The Minimum Monthly Payment is equal to 2% of the outstanding balance or $25.00, whichever amount is greater. Grace Period and Late Fees: Advances with a monthly payment will have a grace period of 10 days after which they will be charged a late fee of $25.00
