How the APR is determined if it is a variable rate (credit cards only).
The method the issuer uses to compute the balance for purchases against which the finance charge is imposed. Calculating an average daily balance or using the outstanding balance at the beginning of the billing cycle are examples of these methods (credit cards only).
The amount of any minimum finance charge (credit cards only).
Any transaction fee for purchases, whether a specific dollar amount or percentage fee.
Transaction fees for cash advances and fees for paying late or exceeding the credit limit.
The amount of any type of annual fee that you will be charged.
