Analysis
On the record for Credit Card Application and Solicitation Disclosure (Mastercard & Secured VISA): no annual fee, filed by Americu Credit Union.
What the document actually states
Americu Credit Union submitted the terms for Credit Card Application and Solicitation Disclosure (Mastercard & Secured VISA) to the CFPB's agreement database; this is what they contain. The filing runs two pages.
Terms captured from the document include an annual fee line, a late payment maximum, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. No figure appears for a purchase rate, a cash advance rate and a balance transfer rate.
Parsing confidence here is medium, so treat the figures as indicative of the filing rather than a substitute for it.
Collateral and the deposit
The product name identifies this as a secured card, which means the account is backed by a deposit the cardholder provides. The filing indexed here discloses rates and fees; it is the agreement text that governs how the deposit is held, when it is applied and under what conditions it is returned.
The fee structure
There is no annual fee. That is the common case in this corpus — about 75% of the filings that disclose an annual fee at all disclose it as $0 — so it is a baseline expectation rather than a distinguishing feature.
Cash advances carry a cash advance fee of $10 or 3% of the advance, whichever is greater.
Spending abroad costs an extra 1% — about $20 on $2,000 of purchases, independent of interest.
Default pricing
The maximum late fee is $25 — roughly the 32nd percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.
Grace period and minimum charge
25 days is the disclosed grace period for purchases — the interval in which paying in full costs nothing.
A minimum interest charge of $0.50 applies in any cycle where interest is due, which makes very small revolving balances disproportionately expensive.
Inside Americu Credit Union's filed lineup
8 separate Americu Credit Union filings appear in the corpus. Their disclosed purchase rates run from 4.99% to 15.9%, though this particular filing does not state one in comparable form.
What you cannot learn from the filing
The disclosure parsed here does not state a purchase rate and penalty pricing. Those gaps are gaps in what could be read from the filing, and the PDF may well address them in prose the rate table does not capture.
More broadly, a CFPB agreement filing is a legal and pricing document. It does not describe rewards, benefits, sign-up offers, eligibility or approval criteria, and nothing of that kind has been inferred on this page. Where a card has features of that sort, they live outside this document entirely.
The document itself
This summary stands or falls on the linked PDF — two pages. Agreements are amended over time, and the filing reflects the terms as submitted rather than as they stand today.
In short
Extraction confidence here is not high, so the conclusions above are provisional on the PDF agreeing with them.
The source document
This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Americu Credit Union filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
