Summary Disclosure Box:

Credit Limit

Your initial credit limit is assigned at the end of your application for the Account. Your initial credit limit will also be shown on your first Statement. You can check your current credit limit at any time by logging on to the Snaplii App or checking your most recent Statement.

Annual Interest Rate

Your annual interest rate is 19.99% and applies to all purchases you make using your Account.  Please see section 5 for more information about how we calculate interest.  

Interest-free Grace Period

You will benefit from an interest-free period of at least 21 days for new purchases and fees if you pay your statement balance in full by the payment due date shown on your Statement. 

If you do not pay your Statement balance in full by the payment due date, you must then pay interest on all purchases and fees shown on that month’s statement from the posted date of the purchase until we receive your payment for the total amount you owe.

Minimum Payment

The minimum payment for each Statement period will be equal to:

  1. $10.00 or 2.0% of your principal balance, whichever is greater; plus
  2. All outstanding interest and fees on your Account; plus
  3. Any amount that exceeds the credit limit or any amount that is overdue, whichever is greater.

However, if the new balance indicated on the Statement is less than $10.00, it must be paid in full by the payment due date shown on that Statement.

Payment

Payments can be made through Bill Payment or e-Transfer from your financial institution.

Other Fees

Over the Limit: $0.00 charged once per billing cycle if your balance exceeds your credit limit at any time during the billing cycle, charged on the day your balance exceeds your credit limit, and on the first day of each subsequent statement period if your Account remains over limit from a previous statement period.

Dishonoured Payment Fee: $0.00 charged on the date the payment reversal is posted if a payment to your Account is returned for any reason.

  • Your Account

When you use your Account to make a purchase, we are loaning that amount to you.  You must repay the amount of all purchases you make, plus any fees and charges or other amounts incurred under this Agreement, to us without setoff or counterclaim.  You authorize a purchase transaction by allowing a merchant to scan the QR code provided to you in the Snaplii mobile application (“Snaplii App”) or through any other method we may permit from time to time.  To use your Account, you must agree to and comply with the Snaplii App Terms of Use.

  • Authorized Merchants

You may only use your Account to make purchases at authorized merchants in Canada.  You may not use your Account for any other purpose, including to obtain a cash advance, for bill payment, to make recurring pre-authorized payments, or for transactions outside of Canada.  A list of authorized merchants is available in the Snaplii App.  We may, in our sole discretion, add merchants or remove merchants from the list at any time without notice to you.  We will not be liable if a merchant does not accept payment via the Account for any reason.

  • Statements

We will provide a Statement for the Account once each month; however, we may not provide a Statement for the Account if there has been no activity that month and i) nothing is owing on the Account or ii) you have been notified that your Account has been suspended or canceled and we have demanded payment of the outstanding balance unless otherwise required by law.  We may not send Statement on the same date every month as your Statement date depends on your billing cycle.  Your minimum payment due date may also change from month to month.  You must review your statement each month.  If you see an error or a problem, you must tell us within 30 days of the Statement date.  After that time, you may not make a claim for any transaction on that Statement.  We may remove credits posted to your Account by mistake at any time.

  • Credit Limit

The Summary Disclosure Box shows your initial credit limit.  Your Statement shows your current credit limit.  We may lower your credit limit at any time without prior notice.  We may, in our sole discretion, allow you to go over your credit limit by approving a purchase.  Overlimit fees that apply when you go over your credit limit are set out in the Summary Disclosure Box.  We are not required to allow you to go over your credit limit even if we let you do this before.  We do not approve partial purchases.

  • Annual Interest Rate

The annual interest rate is a fixed annual rate and applies to all outstanding amounts.  You can find your interest rate in the Summary Disclosure Box or any updated disclosure document we provide to you.  If interest is charged, it is calculated daily by multiplying the total daily interest-bearing balance by the annual interest rate in effect and dividing that by the number of days in a year. The interest charges for each day of a billing period are then added together and charged to your Account on the last day of each billing cycle. Interest accrues on purchases, fees and other charges, from (and including) the date the transaction is posted to the Account until we receive payment in full of the amount of the transaction, however, interest on new purchases and fees will be waived when subject to an interest-free grace period as set out in the Summary Disclosure Box.  Interest that is charged to the Account will be compounded monthly.

  • Minimum Payment

You must make at least your minimum payment by the payment due date each month, even if you do not receive a Statement or the Statement is late.  If a payment due date is a Saturday, Sunday or other non-business day, your payment will be processed on the next following business day and interest will continue to accrue until that date.  A credit to your Account, such as a refund for a returned item or an adjustment is not a payment.  If you receive a credit, you must still pay your minimum payment unless the balance owing is zero.

  • Payments

You may make your payments through Bill Payment or e-Transfer from your financial institution.  It will not reduce our rights if we accept a payment that is late, a partial payment, not made in accordance with this Agreement, or is marked as “payment in full” when it is not.  

When you make a payment, we first apply the payment to your minimum payment in the following order: billed interest, billed fees, billed transactions, unbilled interest, unbilled fees, unbilled transactions.  If we receive more than your minimum payment, we apply the rest of your payment to the remaining amount owing.  You may pay all or any part of the amount you owe at any time without notice, bonus, penalty or charge. All amounts owing under this Agreement are payable in Canadian dollars.  

  • Keeping your Account Details Safe

You must take reasonable steps to keep your Account and your Account information safe.  At a minimum, this means you must never let someone else use your Account or the device from which you access the Account.  You must also not provide your PIN, password, or other security credentials associated with the Account or the devices from which you access the Account (collectively, “Credentials”) to anyone.  Other security measures you must take include:

  • you have not received any benefit from the transaction;
  • you have kept your Credentials and your device safe as set out in this Agreement; and
  • you have cooperated fully with our investigation.

You will be fully liable for all charges and transactions that we conclude you have authorized.

We may not award rewards to you if your Account is not in good standing or if you are over your credit limit.  We may remove any rewards that are awarded in error or that correspond to Account balances that you did not repay.

  • Merchant Disputes

If you have any problems with a purchase or other dispute with a merchant, you must settle any dispute or claims directly with the merchant.  We will not be responsible if a merchant does not give you a credit, imposes any additional charges, will not accept payment via your Account, does not provide you with the goods or services your paid for or the goods or services are of poor quality, does not process a return, or takes any other action.

You must pay for all purchases made with your Account.  You may not stop payment on any transaction made with your Account.  If a merchant agrees to give you a refund for a purchase or other transaction, we will credit your Account.  Any interest you may have paid on the purchase will not be refunded.
