USE OF CARD: You authorize us to pay for your account items representing the following transactions:
- Purchases or leases of goods and services (“purchases”) made using the Card.
- Advances (“advances”) in any of the following forms:
- Cash advances obtained from financial institutions or other means through the use of the Card and processed by the Visa network (does not include PIN-based transactions)
- Cash Equivalent” transactions with a merchant or service provider identified by the VISA® association as a seller of travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers, lottery tickets, funds used for wagers or gambling, or other similar products or services. All transactions identified to us as having been made by a merchant or service provider in such categories will be treated as cash advances
We have no responsibility for failure of any machine, merchant, financial institution or any other party to honor your Card.
Additionally, you agree that you will not use your Card in any illegal transaction.
If your Account is a joint account, you and your joint account holder are jointly and individually responsible for all amounts transacted using the Card. If you let someone else use the Card, you and any joint account holder are responsible for all charges made by that person, whether or not you have notified us that the person will be using your Card and whether or not the amount of the actual use exceeds your permission.
EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT: For the purpose of providing Emergency Cash and Emergency Card Replacement Services, the Bank may provide personal data to Visa U.S.A., its members, or their respective contractors. By accepting, signing or using the Card, you consent to the release of this information. There is no “opt out” provision for the sharing of information as it pertains to Emergency Cash and Emergency Card Replacement Services.
AUTO RENTAL COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER PROGRAM BENEFIT: Your Account includes, at no additional charge, coverage due to collision or theft for most rental vehicles through the Visa Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver Program. Certain terms and conditions must be met. For a complete description of the benefit, click here.

Effective February 1, 2021, your First Internet Bank Cashback Rewards Visa will no longer provide AUTO RENTAL COLLSION DAMAGE WAIVER. All other card benefits will remain in place
CANCELLATION: We can cancel or revoke your Card and/or refuse to allow further transactions at any time. You can cancel your Card by writing us. In either case, you agree to return all Cards cut in half to us.
FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS: Charges from foreign merchants and financial institutions may be made in a foreign currency. We will bill you in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the day we settle the transaction, plus any special currency exchanges charges that may be imposed by us, the VISA network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction.
The exchange rate applied to each such transaction is (1) a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or (2) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. Because of the special charges and possible differences in exchange rates between the time we settle and the time you initiated the transaction, the total charge for a foreign transaction may be greater than the cash advance or purchase at the time it was made.
Regardless of whether the transaction is made in foreign currency or in US dollars, additional fees may apply to all international transactions using the Card. International transactions are defined as transactions that are initiated outside the United States or its territories. You will be billed for any international transaction fees that may be imposed by us, the VISA network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction. Please refer to our current fee schedule for more information about our fees.
CHANGE OF TERMS: We can change the term of this Agreement at any time provided we send you notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the change. If you use your Card after the effective date, you will be considered to have agreed to the new terms even if you have sent us written notice that you do not agree to the change. Changes which we make can apply to all outstanding unpaid indebtedness and to any future transactions on your account.
