Analysis

Visa Agreement Disclosure Statement Stanford Federal Credit Union, as filed by Stanford Federal Credit Union, carries a purchase APR of 13.49%–18%, no annual fee and a 1.99% introductory rate. Against the 4,587 filings on this site, that rate lands around the 34th percentile.

The disclosed terms

What follows is drawn entirely from Stanford Federal Credit Union's CFPB filing for Visa Agreement Disclosure Statement Stanford Federal Credit Union. It is issued on the Visa network and the filing runs four pages.

Terms captured from the document include a purchase rate, a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate, an annual fee line and a late payment maximum. It is silent on a penalty rate.

The filing bundles multiple products into one disclosure table. Any figure quoted here may describe a related card in the same filing, so the PDF should be read before treating these numbers as this card's own.

The introductory rate

For the first six months the filing sets a reduced rate of 1.99%. Balances still cost something during that window.

Among the 763 filings here that disclose an introductory rate, 1.99% sits at about the 66th percentile.

What matters more than the promotion is the rate waiting behind it: 18%. A $5,000 balance that survives the promotional window costs roughly $986 a year from that point on.

The purchase rate in context

Rather than a single purchase rate, the document gives a band — 13.49% at the bottom, 18% at the top, 4.51 points wide. The agreement discloses the range without disclosing how an account is placed within it.

Read against the index, the low end ranks around the 25th percentile and the high end around the 34th — the band straddles a wide stretch of the market this corpus describes.

Because the rate is variable, the figure quoted is tied to an index and will drift with it. Nothing here is a fixed commitment.

Translating the rate into money

A $2,000 balance left untouched for twelve months accrues about $394 in interest at this purchase rate.

Priced at the median of 21.99%, that balance would generate about $492 in a year — so this agreement comes in around $97 cheaper for the same debt.

Treat this as an illustration of what the disclosed rate does, not as a projection of a real account, which would be shaped by payments and by the fees described elsewhere in the filing.

What the card costs before you borrow

No annual fee appears in the filing, in line with the roughly 75% of disclosing agreements in this index that charge nothing to hold the card.

Taking cash against the card means a cash advance APR of 13.49%. Cash advances also tend to fall outside any grace period, which means interest typically starts on day one rather than at the end of a billing cycle.

The filing discloses a 13.49% balance transfer rate without an accompanying fee figure.

No foreign transaction fee is charged, which puts this filing in the roughly 22% of disclosing agreements here that do not take a cut of overseas spending.

Penalty pricing and late fees

$7 is the disclosed ceiling on a late payment fee, placing it near the 4th percentile of the set.

Grace period and minimum charge

25 days is the disclosed grace period for purchases — the interval in which paying in full costs nothing.

What is outside the disclosure

Absent from the captured terms: penalty pricing. The original document is the place to look for any of these.

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

Everything here is a reading of the filed agreement, four pages of it, which is linked above and which governs. Terms also change between filings, so the date on the document matters.

In short

At 18% the purchase rate is close to ordinary for this corpus; nothing in the rate table sets this filing far apart from its peers. With no annual fee, the cost of the account is entirely a function of whether a balance is carried. And because the filing covers several products in one table, even the figures that are right may belong to a different card.
