TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS

You may use your account to make purchases (standard and promotional) by choosing PayPal Credit when you make a purchase from a merchant at a website, by telephone, or at another authorized location. You may also use your account to get cash advances. These types of transactions are further explained below.

NON-PROMOTIONAL TRANSACTIONS

Standard Purchases
Standard purchases are non-promotional purchases or are purchases that are not otherwise subject to promotional repayment terms and/or APRs, including but not limited to Send Money transactions made in connection with a purchase of goods or services.
Cash Advances
Cash advances are extensions of credit made on the account when you use Send Money to transfer money to friends or family members (not to or from a business) without a purchase. You may not use the cash advance feature to Send Money to yourself. The cost of the cash advance may include both the amount sent and any fee charged by and paid to PayPal, Inc. for facilitating a Send Money transaction. We have the right to decline cash advance transactions for any reason permitted by applicable law, including if fraudulent or high-risk behavior is suspected.

At times, we may offer promotional financing for certain transactions, and the terms of this Agreement apply to any promotional financing. Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after the promotion ends, to promotional purchases. Below is a description of certain promotional financing that may be offered on purchases. These promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any promotional advertising or other disclosures provided to you for the full terms of any promotional offer. Offers may be subject to credit approval.

PROMOTIONAL PURCHASES – DEFERRED INTEREST PURCHASES

No Interest if Paid in Full in 6 Months
No Interest if Paid in Full in 12 Months

For each deferred interest purchase, if the deferred interest purchase balance is not paid in full within the promotional period, interest will be imposed from the date of purchase at the variable purchase APR that applies to your account when the deferred interest purchase is made.

At the time your account is opened, the variable purchase APR is 25.49%.

Your purchase APR will vary with the market based on the prime rate.

If you pay the balance on a deferred interest purchase in full within the applicable promotional period, we will not charge any interest for that purchase. Any remaining balance at the end of the promotional period will be charged interest at the variable purchase APR that applies to your account from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required.

PROMOTIONAL PURCHASES – EASY PAYMENTS PURCHASES

Easy Payments Purchases
For each qualifying Easy Payments purchase, either interest will be assessed on the purchase at a reduced APR (which may be referred to as a Financed Easy Payments purchase) or no interest will be assessed. A monthly payment will be due as described in the Minimum Payment Calculation section. We may offer this as the only method you can use to make a purchase from a merchant, or as an option to the standard purchase and/or deferred interest purchase method. Easy Payments purchases will be subject to the terms offered at the time of the transaction by the merchant.

RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

RATES

You agree to pay interest on the outstanding balance of this account until paid in full, as applicable. Interest may be calculated differently depending on the type of transaction.

HOW INTEREST IS CALCULATED

Your Interest Rate

We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate is the applicable APR times 1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law. The APR for purchases and cash advances is the prime rate plus 20.74%. As of July 1, 2022, the daily rate for purchases and cash advances is 0.06984% (APR 25.49%). However, if we have disclosed a promotional rate at the time we made a promotional offer, we will calculate interest on balances subject to that promotional offer using the applicable promotional financing rate.

Daily Rates May Vary. The APRs and the daily rates on your account vary with the market based on the prime rate. The prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle.

If the prime rate increases, the daily rates and APRs will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum payment and the number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We apply any change in rates because of a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the prime rate will take effect on the first day of the first billing cycle after the change. We may select a new interest rate index if the prime rate is not available.

When We Charge Interest

Generally, we charge interest on your purchases and cash advances from the date you make the purchase or cash advance until you pay the purchase or cash advance in full. See exceptions below.

  • We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any non-promotional transactions if:
    1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR
    2. You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in that billing cycle.
  • We charge interest on promotional purchases and their related fees from the date you make the promotional purchase, where applicable. If you pay the balance on a deferred interest purchase in full within the applicable promotional period, we will not charge any interest for that purchase.
  • We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to non-promotional transactions if:
    1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR
    2. You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in the previous billing cycle.
How We Calculate Interest

We calculate interest on your account for each billing cycle separately for each balance type. A separate average daily balance is calculated for the following balance types, as applicable: standard purchases, cash advances and promotional purchases. See below for how this works.

  1. How to get the average daily balance: We take the starting balance each day, including billed interest and billed fees, add the daily interest amount from the previous day, add any new charges and adjustments posted that day and subtract any payments or credits (treating any net credit balance as zero). This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. The result is the average daily balance. Late payment fees, returned payment fees and debt cancellation fees are treated as standard purchases.
  2. How to get the interest amount: We multiply the average daily balance by the applicable daily rate to get the daily interest amount. Then we multiply the daily interest amount by the number of days in the billing cycle to determine the interest charges. This gives us the interest charges for each balance type. We calculate the interest charge for each balance type.
  3. How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle: We add all the interest charges for all the balance types, to get the interest for the account.
Minimum Interest Charge

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest on non-promotional transactions.

FEES

You agree to pay the following fees, as applicable:

FEES

Late Payment Fee

We will charge this fee for each billing cycle in which we do not receive the minimum payment due on your account on the due date in accordance with the requirements set forth on each billing statement. This fee is equal to:

  1. $30, if you have paid your minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles; OR
  2. $41, if you have failed to pay your minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the prior six billing cycles.

The late payment fee will never be more than the minimum payment that was due.

Returned Payment Fee

We will charge this fee, which is sometimes referred to as a “return check fee” or “non-sufficient funds fee,” if any check, other instrument, or electronic payment authorization you provide us in payment on your account, is not honored upon first presentment for any reason, including if the payment is returned by drawee for “not sufficient funds.” We will not charge this fee if the check, instrument or electronic authorization is later honored. This fee is equal to $30; however, it will never be more than the minimum payment due immediately prior to the date on which the payment is returned.

MINIMUM PAYMENT CALCULATION

Your minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The sum of:

  1. For the new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any Easy Payments purchase balance), the greater of:
    1. $30, or $41 if you have failed to pay the minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the prior six billing cycles; or
    2. The sum of 1% of such new balance (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), plus interest (excluding any accrued interest on a deferred interest purchase billed in that billing cycle), late payment fees and returned payment fees charged in the current billing cycle (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar); PLUS
  2. Any past due amounts; PLUS
  3. Any Easy Payments purchase monthly payment. The monthly payment amount for an Easy Payments purchase will be equal to the Easy Payments purchase amount plus applicable interest divided by the number of months in the applicable promotional period.

Your minimum payment will never be more than your new balance. There is no payment due for a “No Payments + No Interest if paid in full purchase” prior to its expiration date.

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT IT, THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED.

  1. CLAIMS AND PARTIES. If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you (including any other user of your account), and us (including our parents, affiliates, agents, employees, officers, and assignees, and PayPal, Inc. and its affiliates) that directly or indirectly arises from or relates to your account, your account Agreement or our relationship, except as noted below. In addition, any assignee, agent, or service provider of ours that collects amounts due on your account are intended beneficiaries of this Arbitration section and may enforce it in full (notwithstanding any state law to the contrary).
  2. This Arbitration section broadly covers claims, including counterclaims, based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, negligence, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity and claims for money damages and injunctive or declaratory relief, even if they arose before this section took effect. You may not sell, assign or transfer a claim.
  3. Examples of claims subject to arbitration are disputes about an account transaction, fees, charges or interest, the events leading up to the Agreement (such as any disclosures, advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements, warranties or representations made by us), an application for or denial of credit, any product or service provided by us or third parties in connection with the Agreement, credit reporting, benefit programs related to your account including any reward program, the collection of amounts due by our assignees, service providers, or agents and the manner of collection.
  4. However, we will not require you to arbitrate any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual case in that court. Also, even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in any related or unrelated lawsuit, including modifying an individual claim to assert a class, representative or multi-party claim. Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun, or a final judgment entered.
  5. Only a court will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration section or any part thereof. However, any dispute that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator to decide.
  6. NO CLASS ACTIONS. IF EITHER YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT (A) TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER, OR (B) TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS WITH CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSONS EXCEPT ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT. THUS, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE.
  7. PROCEDURES. The party who wants to arbitrate must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit or in papers filed in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, KS 66201-5320, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND. The party seeking arbitration must select either the American Arbitration Association (AAA), 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, to administer the arbitration. If neither administrator can handle the dispute, a court with jurisdiction will appoint an arbitrator.
  8. The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten years of legal experience. The arbitrator must apply the same law, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), that would apply to an individual action in court, but may use different procedural rules. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitation and privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court.
  9. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court, including, without limitation, punitive damages (governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable and declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim). The parties will bear the fees and costs of their attorneys, witnesses and experts. However, the arbitrator will have the authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses and experts to the extent permitted by the Agreement, the administrator’s rules or applicable law.
  10. The arbitration will take place by phone or at a location reasonably convenient to you. If you ask, we will pay all the fees the administrator or arbitrator charges if you cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the administrator and are acting in good faith. We will pay arbitration costs required by the administrator’s rules or that are necessary for this Arbitration section to be enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will be required to advance half of all administrative fees and arbitrator’s fees (and to be responsible for payment of such fees to the extent not advanced) if you pursue arbitration as part of a group of similar arbitrations, or if you otherwise seek to participate in a mass arbitration proceeding. If an arbitration already in process is later determined to be part of a mass arbitration proceeding, we shall have the right to request that the arbitrator order you to reimburse us for fees already paid or advanced.
  11. GOVERNING LAW. This Arbitration section is governed by the FAA. Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the FAA, unless otherwise stated herein. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award.
  12. SURVIVAL. This Arbitration section shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed, the termination, cancellation or suspension of the Agreement or your account or credit privileges, any legal proceeding, and any bankruptcy by you, to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. If this Arbitration section conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of the Agreement, this Arbitration section shall govern.
  13. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Arbitration section is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force with the following two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the “No Class Actions” provision is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then this Arbitration section shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public injunctive relief claim may proceed notwithstanding the “No Class Actions” provision, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief claim will be decided by a court, and any individual claims will be arbitrated. The parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive relief claim until the other claims have been finally concluded.
  14. HOW TO REJECT ARBITRATION. You may reject this Arbitration section. If you do that, a court will resolve any dispute or claim. To reject this section, send us a notice within 45 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right to reject this section. The notice must include your name, address, account number, and personal signature, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section. Rejecting this Arbitration section will not affect any other provision of the Agreement. It will also not affect any prior arbitration agreement or dispute resolution provision between you and us, which will remain in full force and effect. If you don't reject this Arbitration section, it will be effective as of the date of the Agreement and will supersede any prior arbitration agreement between you and us that would otherwise be applicable.

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing or by calling customer service at 1-844-373-4961.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter

When we receive your letter, we must do two things:

  1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
  2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:

  • We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
  • The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
  • While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
  • We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.

After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:

  • If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
  • If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.

If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases

If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.

To use this right, all of the following must be true:

  1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
  2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
  3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at:

Synchrony Bank
P.O. Box 965003
Orlando, FL 32896-5003
Or call customer service
at 1-844-373-4961

While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
