U.S. Bank Business Leverage Visa Signature® Card Terms and Conditions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the United States fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. law requires U.S. Bancorp, like other financial institutions, to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each customer that opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account with us, we will ask for your and/or your business's legal name, address, date of birth, tax identification number, and other identifying information that will assist us with identifying you and/or your business. We may also ask to see your photo identification (driver's license) or other identifying documents. For businesses, we may ask for copies of certified articles of incorporation, an unexpired government-issued business license, a partnership agreement, or other documents that indicate the existence and standing of the entity.

We may change APRs, fees, and other Account terms in the future based on your experience with U.S. Bank National Association and its affiliates as provided under the Cardmember Agreement and applicable law.

How We Apply Your Payments: When you make a payment, the amount up to your Minimum Payment is applied first to the monthly payment obligation for U.S. Bank ExtendPay® Plans and U.S. Bank ExtendPay® Loans if any, and then to non-Fixed Payment Program balances in the order of the lowest to highest APR. Any amount over your Minimum Payment is applied to non-Fixed Payment Program balances in the order of lowest to highest APR before applying to Fixed Payment Program balances.

2U.S. Bank ExtendPay® Fees are calculated based upon the original principal amount, Purchase APR, and other factors.

How Variable Interest Rates Are Determined: After the introductory period, your interest rate is a variable rate and is determined by a combination of the Prime Rate (which may vary) added to a margin (which does not change). Because the Prime Rate may vary, your variable interest rate will go up or down if the Prime Rate changes. If you are granted an Account, the following rates on the Account are variable: Non-Introductory Purchase Rate; Non-Introductory Balance Transfer Rate; Cash Advance Rate. More information is available in the Cardmember Agreement.

Fixed Payment Programs: From time to time we may offer to you the benefit of our Fixed Payment Programs, including ExtendPay® Plans and ExtendPay® Loans, which allow you to pay off balances in fixed monthly payments over time. See your Cardmember Agreement for more information.

Notice to Ohio Residents: The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make credit equally available to all creditworthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission administers compliance with this law.

Rewards Program

Participation in the Card Program ("Program") is restricted to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older ("Cardmember", "you", and "your") and in whose name U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank", "we", "us" and "our") maintains a U.S. Bank Business Leverage Visa Signature Card Account (an "Account"). Travel, gift cards, merchandise and other benefits offered from time to time, are the "rewards" you may obtain by redeeming the Points you have earned in the Program. Program administrative services are provided by third party vendors.

Earning Points

U.S. Bank will credit your Account with Points as follows.

  • You will earn two (2) Bonus Points for every $1 in eligible Net Purchases (Net Purchases are purchases minus credits and returns) in your top two highest spend categories (Highest Categories) each month. Highest Categories can change from statement to statement, depending on your purchase behavior during a particular billing cycle; Highest Categories automatically adjust to reward you on where you spend the most.
  • All other eligible Net Purchases will earn one (1) Standard Point for every $1 spent.

Your Account must be open and in good standing to earn and redeem rewards and benefits. Upon approval, please refer to your Cardmember Agreement for additional information.

Points will only be awarded for "Purchases" (as defined in the Cardmember Agreement) and will not be awarded for transactions posting as Convenience Checks, credit insurance premiums, Advances (as defined in the Cardmember Agreement, including wire transfers, traveler's checks, money orders, foreign cash transactions, betting transactions, lottery tickets and ATM disbursements), Balance Transfers, INTEREST CHARGES and fees, transactions to fund certain prepaid card products, U.S. Mint purchases, or transactions to purchase cash convertible items. Points are also not awarded for certain Merchant Category Codes, as defined within the Rewards Rules. We reserve the right to adjust or reverse the number of Points that were awarded for unauthorized transactions. Further, this Account is intended to be used for the purchase of various products and services for business purposes, and we have the right to adjust or reverse the number of Points that were awarded or terminate the Account if we determine that purchases or transactions were outside of such use, including, without limitation, excessive or patterned purchases of cash equivalent instruments, such as gift cards, rewards cards, and other prepaid cards.

You may not redeem Points, and you will immediately lose all of your Points, if your Account is closed to future transactions (including, but not limited to, due to Program misuse, fraudulent activities, failure to pay, bankruptcy, or death).

Points Expiration

The amount of Points that may accumulate for your Account is unlimited. However, Points will expire at the end of the calendar quarter, at 11:00 p.m. Central Time, that is five (5) years from the date on which they were earned. Points are redeemed or expire on a first-in, first-out basis, so that the Points you earned are used first before later earned Points.
