What the agreement puts on the record
The document behind this page is Vantage Credit Union's filed agreement for Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure DUNS077145902 VANTAGE CU. It is issued on the Mastercard network and the filing runs six pages.
The disclosure covers a purchase rate, a penalty rate, a late payment maximum, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. A cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and an annual fee line are not stated.
Where the purchase APR sits
Purchases price between 14.99% and 21.99% under this filing. The 7-point gap between the two is material, and nothing in the agreement indicates where a given account would land.
The floor of that band sits at about the 33rd percentile of filed purchase rates; the ceiling sits at about the 49th. In corpus terms the same card can be cheap or expensive depending on how it is priced.
Because the rate is variable, the figure quoted is tied to an index and will drift with it. Nothing here is a fixed commitment.
What the rate means in dollars
The purchase rate turns a $4,000 revolving balance into roughly $983 of annual interest.
With the corpus median at 21.99%, the cost is effectively indistinguishable from the typical agreement here.
That maths assumes a static balance and nothing else — no payments, no additional purchases, no fees folded in.
Paying in full
21 days is the disclosed grace period for purchases — the interval in which paying in full costs nothing. The typical filing here allows 25 days, so this one is tighter than most.
Penalty pricing and late fees
If the account defaults, the filing permits a rate of 32.74%. Among disclosing agreements here that ranks near the 68th percentile.
Measured in money, moving from 21.99% to 32.74% costs an extra $141 or so annually on $1,000 — a far larger number than any single late fee.
Late payments are capped at $25 under this filing, about the 32nd percentile of late fee maximums in the corpus.
Where the fees are
Foreign transactions attract 1%. On $2,000 of overseas spending that is $20, charged on top of whatever exchange rate applies.

What the filing does not tell you
The disclosure parsed here does not state anything about cash advances, balance transfer terms and an annual fee. 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.
What this analysis can address is bounded by the filing: rates, fees and the terms around them. Everything a card issuer might advertise — rewards, benefits, bonuses, who qualifies — falls outside the document and outside this review.
Where the authority sits
The filed PDF is linked from this page and runs six pages. It is the authority for every figure summarised above; where this page and the document disagree, the document is right.
In short
21.99% is an unexceptional purchase rate in this collection, and the rest of the terms follow the same pattern.
The source document
This page is a reading of one document: the cardholder agreement Vantage Credit Union filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Where the two disagree, the filing is correct and this page is wrong.
