VISA PLATINUM VALUE SECURED

 Sunward Visa Platinum Rebate card Sunward’s Visa Platinum® Value Secured card can help you establish or rebuild your credit – with no credit score needed to apply! Open your card account with a deposit of $300 or more, then use it to establish a positive payment record and manage your credit responsibly. See the application disclosure and card agreement.


12.99% introductory APR for 12 months from the first qualifying transaction on balance transfers completed within the first 90 days after opening a Visa Platinum Value account. After that, you will be charged the standard APR for balance transfers. As of October 1, 2024, this rate is current and subject to change: 13.75% to 16.25% for Visa Platinum Value. APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. Introductory APR is valid only for balance transfers from other credit card companies, financial institutions, or department store credit cards. You can't transfer balances to pay off other accounts issued by Sunward. You should not initiate a balance transfer in the amount of any disputed purchase or charge, as you may lose your rights to dispute that purchase or charge. You must continue to make your required monthly payments to the issuer/merchant until you receive a statement from the issuer/merchant reflecting the balance transfer payment. Sunward will not be responsible for any finance charges or late fees you incur on your other account as a result of a balance transfer request. We will not close your other accounts, even if you transfer the entire balance – please contact other creditors directly. Balance transfer requests may not exceed your available credit at the time we receive your request. Your accounts at Sunward must be in good standing at the time the balance transfer offer is processed. Cash-back rebates are not earned on balance transfers. Any balance transfers processed after the promotional period will incur finance charges at the standard Balance Transfer rate.

2To be eligible for the $100 statement credit, $1,500 in net purchases (i.e., purchases minus credits and returns) must be made with your Sunward Visa Signature® or Visa Platinum® Rebate credit card within 90 days of new account opening. Account must be open and in good standing at the time credit is awarded to receive the credit. These transaction types do not count as purchases: balance transfers, cash advances, checks that access your account, fees assessed by Sunward, quasi-cash items (e.g., casino chips), cash equivalents (e.g., money orders), and purchases made using a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Each account is eligible for one statement credit of $100. Please allow up to four weeks after spending $1,500 to receive the credit.

Variable Rate: The annual percentage rate for each card is subject to change semi-annually on the first day of the billing cycle to reflect any change in the Index and will be determined by the Prime Rate as listed in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of March and September, to which we add a margin. Any increase in the annual percentage rate will take the form of additional payments shown as Total Minimum Payments on the statement. If the Index is no longer available, the Credit Union will choose a new index which is based upon comparable information.

Margin: For the Visa Platinum Value card, Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances will be charged at 5.65% above the Index. For the Visa Platinum Rebate card, Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances will be charged at 7.90% above the Index. For the Visa Signature card, Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances will be charged at 7.40% above the Index.
