You may also update some of this information by logging onto your Account via the App or by calling one of our representatives at the telephone number provided on your Statement or in the App. We may require you to provide additional documents that are acceptable to us to verify this information or any changes. We maintain the right to restrict or close your Account if your information cannot be verified, if you do not link a qualifying bank account which is required to make your monthly minimum payment and subscription fee, if a duplicate account using your information is located, if you don’t select a subscription plan, or if you do not provide additional information as requested.
You agree that we may contact you using any technology and methods of our choice. This includes using an automated telephone dialing system or other similar system to contact you by email, text message, device-level notification, or other electronic notification method supported by the software you use to access your Account. We may use any telephone numbers (including wireless, landline and voice over IP numbers) or email addresses that you give to us.

The Neu Money “Neu” Card
Check with your mobile service provider about charges for data, text messages, and internet access needed to access the Neu Money App. When a new version is available, or for critical updates, you may need to visit the app store that provides apps for your device.
Your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account eligibility is based upon our ability to authenticate you. If you are eligible for a Neu Money “Neu” Card, you will receive online Card credentials (Card number, expiration date and CVV) that you can use. If you are approved for a Neu Money “Neu” card, you must select a subscription plan to activate and use your online Card credentials. Your Neu Money “Neu” Card can be added to your digital wallet and used to make in-person purchases anywhere your digital wallet is accepted and a physical card will not be required. The Neu Money “Neu” Card can be used to make online purchases anywhere Visa is accepted, subject to the restrictions of this Agreement (see “Using your Account” below). Using the Neu Money App allows you to view your balances, credit limit, and recent transactions, to make payments, and more.
Use of certain features of the Neu Money App may have further eligibility requirements as permitted by us or by applicable law. Certain features of the Neu Money App may be limited depending on the state in which you reside, the date on which you created your Account or other factors. We may revoke or suspend your Card or any features or services of your Card at any time without cause or notice.
The Card is not designed for business use, and we may cancel your Card if we determine that it is being used for business purposes.
Credit Limit
When you open your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account, you will receive your initial credit limit. Your credit limit will also appear on your Statements. You are responsible for keeping track of your Account balances and your available credit limit. Do not allow your Account to go over any credit limit, as the transaction could be declined, or your credit score could be adversely affected. We may still honor transactions above your credit limit, but our honoring of these transactions will not increase your credit limit. We may also change, restrict, or cancel, your credit limit at any time. This will not affect your obligation to pay us for any obligations you incurred until, or after, such change, restriction or cancellation.
If you are subscribed to the Neu Grow & Expand plan, you should know that:
- We will assess the highest credit limit that you may qualify for at the time of application.
- After a period of 6 months from card activation, we will review your Neu Money account activity every month to assess whether you are eligible for an automatic credit limit increase. We will increase your credit limit by a fixed amount each month, if you continue to fulfil the conditions that make you eligible for the automatic credit limit increase.
- If you qualify for the automatic credit limit increase, we will notify you, at the email address we have on file, how much the increased amount will be, and what your new total credit limit is.
- The maximum credit limit for the Neu Grow & Expand plan is the lower of $1,000 or the highest credit limit amount that you initially were approved for.
Subscription Fee
When you open your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account, you are charged a non-refundable monthly subscription fee, which will be disclosed on your Statement and is based on the credit limit offered to you. This subscription fee is charged at the beginning of each billing cycle whether you use your Card or not. If you close your account, or if we close your account at our discretion, the non-refundable monthly subscription fee will continue to be assessed on your account each month until you pay off any balance owed in full.
Using your Account
You promise to follow the terms of this Agreement as long as your Account remains open or has a balance, or until you have discharged all of your obligations under this Agreement, whichever occurs later. Any physical card you may receive, if we decide in our sole discretion to provide such card in the future, must be signed when you receive it. The card will be valid during the dates provided on the front.
You acknowledge that your account is for individual use only and that you cannot have more than one active account at any time. If we find that you have created more than one account, we reserve the right to close these accounts at any time. You further acknowledge that you must link a qualifying bank account in your name before you can use your account. We may ask you to provide proof of account ownership for the bank you are trying to link in the form of an external bank statement if we need to verify this information at any time. If you do not link a qualifying bank account, or if you attempt to link a bank account that is not in your name, or if you fail to provide proof of account ownership for your linked account after we’ve requested it, we reserve the right to close your account.
When you link an external bank account to your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account, you agree to and accept the terms and conditions of our bank linking partner, Finicity. You can view Fincity’s Terms of Use at any time here: https://connect2.finicity.com/assets/html/connect-eula.html. If you do not accept Fincity’s Terms of Use, you cannot use these services.
You should take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of your Card and Account. We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept your Card for any reason. Also, we may reject any transaction for any reason. Unless we tell you otherwise, we will bill each transaction to your Account and apply it against your available credit limit for the Account and Card in each Billing Cycle.
You must not use, or try to use the Card for any Internet gambling transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, racetrack wagers or similar betting transactions, escort services, or transactions that are illegal or not permitted by us. You will still be responsible for such transactions if you do. We reserve the right to decline any transaction that we believe is an illegal transaction, a transaction in violation of this Agreement, or a high-risk transaction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that we are not responsible for the recovery or reimbursement to you of any funds transferred in connection with any transaction authorized by you that is determined to be illegal. In addition, these transactions will be subject to this Agreement, and you might have to reimburse the Payment Card Network and us for all damages and expenses. You agree that it is your responsibility to determine the legality of each transaction in all applicable jurisdictions before entering into such transaction. Display of the Visa logo or any other logo by any person accepting the Card does not indicate that the transaction is legal in all applicable jurisdictions.
From time to time, due to circumstances beyond our control (such as system failures, fires, floods, natural disasters, or other unpredictable events) our services might be unavailable. When this happens, you might be unable to use your Card or obtain information about your Account. We will not be responsible or liable if this happens.
Protecting your Account Information and Credentials
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Card, your electronic devices and their passcodes, and any other authentication credentials used in connection with your Account (collectively, your “Credentials”). If you authorize or allow anyone else to use your Account (e.g., by providing the passcode to your device, allowing a third party to set up facial or touch identification, or otherwise providing any of your Credentials to a third party), the person may be able to make Transactions using your Account, and you will be liable for all Transactions made on your Account by that person.
Your Promise to Pay
You promise to pay us all amounts due on your Account. This includes amounts where you did not sign a purchase slip or other documents for the transaction. If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (including, without limitation, mail, telephone, or internet purchases), this will be treated the same way as if you used the Card in person. You should receive a receipt from the merchant at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.
If you let someone else use your Card, you are responsible for all transactions that person makes. Your promise to pay us will apply to your estate if you die.
Statements
We will send you a Statement for the Card on your Account unless the law does not require or permit us to send a Statement. Statements will be sent at the end of each Billing Cycle.
Disputed Transactions
You should inspect each Statement you receive and tell us about any errors or questions you have as described in Appendix A (Your Billing Rights) below and the “Billing Rights Summary” part of your Statement and other Truth in Lending Disclosures.
If you dispute a transaction made by you or someone else on your Account, and we later credit your Account for all or part of the disputed amount, you give us all of your rights against that other person. You also will:
- give us any merchandise or other purchases you received in connection with the disputed amount if we ask;
- not pursue any claim or reimbursement from the merchant and that other person; and
- help us pursue and get reimbursement from the merchant and that other person. Your help includes giving us documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us.
Interest Charges and Fees
This section provides the interest rates, also referred to as corresponding Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) which are applicable to your account. We will charge Interest and Fees to your Account as disclosed to you in your Statements and other Truth in Lending Disclosures.
These Fees apply to your Account only if they are provided in your Truth in Lending Disclosures. We may increase your Interest Charges and Fees as described in the Changes to your Agreement section or in your Truth in Lending Disclosures.
When applicable, we calculate Interest by multiplying your balance and APR in each billing cycle. Any applicable Interest is calculated and posted to the balance on the last day of the billing cycle after all other transactions have posted and payments have been allocated. When applicable, Interest accrues daily and compounds daily on new transactions and balances remaining from previous billing cycles. Any applicable Interest will continue to accrue even though you have paid the full amount of any related balances because we include any accrued but unpaid Interest in the calculation of each balance subject to Interest. We will not charge you any Interest on purchases if you always pay your entire balance by the payment due date. Your payment due date will be at least one calendar month from your statement closing date and will fall on the same calendar day each month.
Late Payment Fee
We currently do not charge any late payment fee.
Overlimit Fee
We do not charge you a fee for going over your credit limit, but your credit score may be adversely affected, and the transaction may be declined, depending on the amount of the overage.
Returned Payment Fee
We may charge you this Fee each time any payment you make to us is not paid by your financial institution for any reason, even if that institution later pays it.
Express Delivery Fee
We may charge you this Fee each time you request express delivery of any Account documentation. Before we charge you this Fee, we will notify you of the amount and provide an opportunity to opt out of this service.
Balance Transfer Fee
Balance transfers are not available for your Card.
Cash Advance Fee
Cash Advance is not available for your Card.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies
Foreign currency transactions are not available for your Card.
No Warranties
EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES WE PROVIDE IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO YOU, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE CARD OR RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR: DELAYS OR MISTAKES RESULTING FROM ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, INSURRECTION, WAR, OR RIOTS; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO HONOR THE CARD; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO PERFORM OR PROVIDE SERVICES; COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FAILURES; OR FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, ANY INTERNET SERVICE, OR ANY PAYMENT SYSTEM. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE HELD LIABLE TO YOU, YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER YOUR ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND YOU SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED US OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Merchant Refunds
If you are entitled to a refund for goods or services purchased with your Card, you will accept these refunds as credits to your Account if a merchant chooses to refund using this method. We do not control when a merchant sends us your refund. We will also have the right to a reasonable amount of time after we receive your refund to process it.
Minimum Payment
Your Statement will provide instructions for making payments, including the amounts due and the due date for receiving your payment. If applicable, your Statement will also include a minimum payment amount.
Your minimum payment will equal your monthly subscription fee plus the greater of:
- $10 (or your full balance if it’s less than $10) or,
- 3% of your ending balance for the Statement plus any outstanding Interest and fees and any amounts past due.
In addition to the minimum payment, you may pay all or part of the total balance on your Account. However, you must still pay at least the minimum payment amount each month, even if you paid greater than the minimum on the previous Statement.
Making Payments
Your payments must be in U.S. dollars from a U.S. deposit account and otherwise be acceptable to us. We do not accept cash or check payments. You may not make payments with funds from your Account with us.
If we block your account due to multiple returned payments due to insufficient funds, you must pay any outstanding balance owed to us by cashier’s check before we can close your account. Cashiers checks can be made payable to:
Neu Money, Inc.
1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033,
Memphis, TN 38104
Faster Payment Services
We may make services available that allow you to make faster payments through a customer service representative using a telephone, the internet, or other payment system. We will describe the terms for using these services before you use them. You do not have to use these other payment services, and we may charge you a Fee for using them. If we do, we will tell you the amount of the Fee at the time you request the service. We are not responsible if a payment made using our payment services is rejected or not paid. Even if it is, we may still keep the Fee. If you give your Account number or other Account information to someone else to make a payment for you, we may provide them limited Account information necessary for the payment and process their payment as if you made it. We may refuse to accept any payment made by someone else for your Account. If we accept a payment made by someone else for your Account, you will be responsible for the payment made even if that payment is rejected or not paid.
Payment Processing
We may accept and process payments without losing any of our rights. Even if we credit your payment to your Account, we may delay the availability of credit until we confirm that your payment has cleared, if circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves at risk for any reason. We may resubmit and electronically collect returned payments. We may also adjust your Account as necessary to correct errors, to process returned and reversed payments, and to handle similar issues. When you provide an Item as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your Item to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your deposit account or to process the payment as an Item.
How We Apply Your Payments
We will apply payments and credits in accordance with applicable law.
Items with Restrictive Words, Conditions, or Instructions
Our acceptance of payments labeled “payment in full” or restrictive words to that or any similar effect, will not constitute an accord and satisfaction nor a waiver of any rights we have to receive a full payment on all balances due.
Credit Balances
We may reject and return to you any payment that creates a credit balance on your Account. Any credit balance we allow will not be available until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may reduce the amount of any credit balance by any new amounts billed to your Account. You may contact us as provided on your Statement and request a refund of any available credit balance. If you contact us in writing, we will refund your credit balance within seven (7) Business Days from our receipt of your written request.

Arbitration is a process in which persons with a dispute(s): (a) agree to submit their dispute(s) to a neutral third person (an “arbitrator”) for a decision; and (b) waive their rights to file a lawsuit in court to resolve their dispute(s). Each party to the dispute(s) has an opportunity to present some evidence to the arbitrator. Pre-arbitration discovery may be limited. Arbitration proceedings are private and less formal than court trials. The arbitrator will issue a final and binding decision resolving the dispute(s), which may be enforced as a court judgment. A court rarely overturns an arbitrator’s decision.
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION APPLIES UNLESS (1) YOU HAVE EXERCISED OR EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO REJECT ARBITRATION OR (2) AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE A COVERED BORROWER UNDER THE MILITARY LENDING ACT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER YOU ARE COVERED BY THE MILITARY LENDING ACT, IN WHICH CASE THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, PLEASE CONTACT US AT tel:1-844-638-3425.
READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY AS IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW LEGAL CLAIMS YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF (NOT BE BOUND BY) THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AS DESCRIBED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO:
- YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY OR A COURT, OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SIMILAR COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION, RESOLVE ANY CLAIM THAT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION; and
- YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM THAT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
THEREFORE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
Interstate Commerce
This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and not by any state arbitration law.
Scope
For purposes of this Arbitration Provision, the word “Claim” has the broadest possible meaning and includes, without limitation (a) all federal or state law claims, disputes or controversies, whether preexisting, present or future, arising from or relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement, the relationship between you and us, the information you gave us before entering into this Agreement, including your application, and/or any past agreement or agreements between you and us, any loan or credit product or related product or services obtained from us and any advice, recommendations, solicitations, communications, disclosures, promotions or advertisements concerning the same; (b) all initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims and claims which arose before the effective date of this Arbitration Provision; (c) all common law claims based upon contract, tort, fraud, or other intentional torts; (d) all claims based upon a violation of any local, state or federal constitution, statute, ordinance or regulation, including without limitation all claims alleging unfair, deceptive or unconscionable trade practices; (e) all claims asserted by us against you, including claims for money damages to collect any sum we claim you owe us; (f) all claims asserted by you individually against us and/or any of our employees, directors, officers, shareholders, governors, managers, members, parent company or affiliated entities, or assignees (including but not limited to Neu Money) or against the servicer of your Card (hereinafter collectively referred to as “related third parties”), including claims for money damages, restitution and/or equitable or injunctive relief; (g) claims asserted by you against other persons and entities if you assert a Claim against such other persons and entities in connection with a Claim you assert against us or related third parties; and (h) all data breach or privacy claims arising from or relating directly or indirectly to the disclosure by us or related third parties of any nonpublic personal information about you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the word “Claim” does not include any dispute or controversy about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof; all such disputes or controversies are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or controversy that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide. In addition, this Arbitration Provision will not apply to (1) any individual action brought by you in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, unless such action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court; or (2) any disputes that are the subject of a class action filed in court that is pending as of the effective date of this Arbitration Provision in which you are alleged to be a member of the putative class for as long as such class action is pending.
Class Action Waiver
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arbitration Provision, 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. (Provided, however, that the Class Action Waiver does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers including you. This means that we will not have the right to compel arbitration of any claims brought by such an agency). An award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the Claim(s) in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No arbitration administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this Class Action Waiver shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
Electing Arbitration
A party may elect arbitration of a Claim by sending the other party written notice by certified mail return receipt requested of their intent to arbitrate and setting forth the subject of the dispute along with the relief requested. Your notice must be sent to Neu Money, Inc., 1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033, Memphis, TN 38104, and our notice must be sent to the most recent address for you in our files. If a lawsuit concerning the Claim has been filed, such notice can be provided by papers filed in the lawsuit, such as a motion to compel arbitration.
Administrator
Regardless of who demands arbitration, you shall have the right to select either of the following arbitration organizations to administer the arbitration: the American Arbitration Association, 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271 (1-800-778-7879),http://www.adr.org; or JAMS, 8401 N. Central Expressway, Suite 610, Dallas, TX 75225 (1- 800-3525267), http://jamsadr.com. However, the parties may agree to a local arbitrator who is an attorney, retired judge, or arbitrator registered and in good standing with a bona fide arbitration association and arbitrate pursuant to the arbitrator’s rules. If the AAA and JAMS are unable or unwilling to serve as administrator, or the parties are unable to agree upon another administrator, a court with jurisdiction shall determine the administrator or arbitrator. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location reasonably convenient to where you reside.
If you demand arbitration, you must inform us in your demand of the arbitration organization you have selected or whether you desire to select a local arbitrator. If related third parties or we demand arbitration, you must notify us within 20 days in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, of your decision to select an arbitration organization or your desire to select a local arbitrator. Your notice must be sent to Neu Money, Inc., 1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033, Memphis, TN 38104. If you fail to notify us, then we have the right to select an arbitration organization. The arbitration will be governed by the rules and procedures of this arbitration organization applicable to individual consumer disputes. You may get a copy of the rules and procedures by contacting the arbitration organization listed above. In an event of a conflict between the provisions of the Arbitration Provision, on the one hand, and any applicable rules of the AAA or JAMS or other administrator used or any other terms of this Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of this Arbitration Provision shall control. If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting Claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion to compel arbitration with the court which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party prosecuting the Claim(s) to select an arbitration administrator in accordance with this paragraph and commence the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the administrator’s rules and procedures.
Non-Waiver
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 that or any related or unrelated lawsuit (including a Claim initially asserted on an individual basis but modified to be asserted on a class, representative or multi-party basis). Nothing in that litigation shall constitute a waiver of any rights under this Arbitration Provision. For example, if we file a lawsuit against you in court to recover amounts due under the Agreement, you have the right to request arbitration, but if you do not elect to request arbitration, we reserve and do not waive the right to request arbitration of any Claim (including any counterclaim) you later assert against us in that or any related or unrelated lawsuit. This Arbitration Provision will apply to all Claims, even if the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Claims existed before the effective date of this Arbitration Provision.
Arbitrator and Award
Any arbitrator must be a practicing attorney with ten or more years of experience or a retired judge. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure or evidence that would apply in a court, nor by state or local laws that relate to arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitations and privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court. The arbitrator may decide, with or without a hearing, any motion that is substantially similar to a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim or a motion for summary judgment. In determining liability or awarding damages or other relief, the arbitrator will follow the applicable substantive law, consistent with the FAA, which would apply if the matter had been brought in court.
No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Arbitration Provision.
Fees and Costs
At your written request, we will pay all filing, hearing and/or other fees charged by the administrator and arbitrator to you for Claim(s) asserted by you in an individual arbitration after you have paid an amount equivalent to the fee, if any, for filing such Claim(s) in state or federal court (whichever is less) in the judicial district in which you reside. (If you have already paid a filing fee for asserting the Claim(s) in court, you will not be required to pay that amount again). We will not seek reimbursement of such fees from you even if we prevail in the arbitration. In addition, the administrator may have a procedure whereby you can seek a waiver of fees charged to you by the administrator and arbitrator. We will always pay any fees or expenses that we are required to pay by law or the administrator’s rules or that we are required to pay for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. The arbitrator will have the authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses and experts to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the administrator’s rules or applicable law. With respect to Claim(s) asserted by you in an individual arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorney, witness and expert fees and costs if and to the extent you prevail, if applicable law requires us to or if we must bear such fees and costs in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall write a brief explanation of the grounds for the decision.
Appeal
The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the amount in controversy exceeds $20,000, and if permitted by the administrator’s rules, you or we can, within 14 days after the entry of the award by the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the administrator. The panel shall reconsider anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote. Reference in this Arbitration Provision to “the arbitrator” shall mean the panel if an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision has been taken. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the paragraph above titled “Fees and Costs.” Any final decision of the appeal is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA. A judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
Notice and Cure; Special Payment
Prior to initiating a Claim, you may send us a written Claim Notice. In order for a Claim Notice to be valid and effective, it must: (a) state your name, address and Account number; (b) be signed by you; (c) describe the basis of your Claim and the amount you would accept to resolve the Claim; (d) state that you are exercising your rights under the “Notice and Cure” paragraph of the Arbitration Provision; and (e) be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested, at Neu Money, Inc., 1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033, Memphis, TN 38104, Attn: General Counsel. This is the sole and only method by which you can submit a Claim Notice. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, we will credit you for the standard cost of a certified letter. You must give us a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. If, and only if, (i) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this paragraph on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (ii) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (iii) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request before an arbitrator is appointed; and (iv) the matter then proceeds to arbitration and the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), you will be entitled to a minimum award of at least $5,000 (not including any arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees and costs to which you will also be entitled). We encourage you to address all Claims you have in a single Claim Notice and/or a single arbitration. Accordingly, this $5,000 minimum award is a single award that applies to all Claims you have asserted or could have asserted in the arbitration, and multiple awards of $5,000 are not contemplated.
Binding Effect; Survival; Severability
This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits you, your respective heirs, successors and assigns. The Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits us, our successors and assigns, and related third parties. The Arbitration Provision shall survive any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. The Arbitration Provision survives any termination, amendment, expiration or performance of this Agreement and any transaction between you and us and continues in full force and effect unless you and we otherwise agree in writing. If any part of this Arbitration Provision is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable, except as follows:
- The parties to this Arbitration Provision acknowledge that the provision titled “Class Action Waiver” is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is non-severable from this Arbitration Provision. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’ Arbitration Provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.
- If a Claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the provision titled “Class Action Waiver” prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such Claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the Claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual Claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties will request that the court stay the Claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a Claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.
Opt-Out Process
You may choose to opt out of this Arbitration Provision but only by following the process set forth below. If you do not wish to be subject to this Arbitration Provision, then you must notify us in writing postmarked within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of this Agreement at the following address: Neu Money, Inc., 1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033, Memphis, TN 38104.

Your Opt-Out Notice must include your name, address, Social Security number, the date of this Agreement, a statement that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Provision and must not be sent with any other correspondence. Indicating your desire to opt out of this Arbitration Provision will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement and applies only to this Arbitration Provision between you and us.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A MISTAKE ON YOUR STATEMENT
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:
Cross River Bank
c/o Neu Money, Inc.
1331 Union Avenue
Suite 1033
Memphis, TN 38104
In your correspondence, give us the following information:
- Account information: your name and account number.
- Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
- Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
- Within sixty (60) days after the error appeared on your statement.
- At least three (3) business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.
- You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR LETTER
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
- Within thirty (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.
- Within ninety (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 ten (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 exert this right, all of the following must be true:
- 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.)
- 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 Account do not qualify. Neu Money does not offer cash advances, ATM access, or credit card access checks.
- 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:
Cross River Bank
c/o Neu Money, Inc.

Memphis, TN 38104
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.

The Neu Money “Neu” Card
Check with your mobile service provider about charges for data, text messages, and internet access needed to access the Neu Money App. When a new version is available, or for critical updates, you may need to visit the app store that provides apps for your device.
Your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account eligibility is based on our ability to authenticate you. If you are eligible for a Neu Money “Neu” Card, you will receive Card credentials (Card number, expiration date and CVV) that you can use. Once your Card is activated, you may add it to your digital wallet and use it to make in-person purchases anywhere your digital wallet is accepted. You may use your Card to make online purchases anywhere Visa is accepted, subject to the restrictions of this Agreement (see “Using your Account” below). The Neu Money App allows you to view your balances, credit limit, and recent transactions, to make payments, and more.
Use of certain features of the Neu Money App may have further eligibility requirements as permitted by us or by applicable law. Certain features of the Neu Money App may be limited depending on the state in which you reside, the date on which you created your Account or other factors. We may revoke or suspend your Card or any features or services of your Card at any time without cause or notice.
The Card is not designed for business use, and we may cancel your Card if we determine that it is being used for business purposes.
In some cases, we may issue a “Conditional Approval” of your application. This means that your application has been conditionally approved based on the information you have provided, but final approval of your account and card are subject to satisfying all outstanding conditions.
Credit Limit
When you open your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account, you will receive your initial credit limit. Your credit limit will also appear on your Statements. You are responsible for keeping track of your Account balances and your available credit limit. Do not allow your Account to go over any credit limit, as the transaction could be declined, or your credit score could be adversely affected. We may still honor transactions above your credit limit, but our honoring of these transactions will not increase your credit limit. We may also change, restrict, or cancel, your credit limit at any time. This will not affect your obligation to pay us for any obligations you incurred until, or after, such change, restriction or cancellation.
As a Neu Money “Neu” Card member, you should know that:
- We will assess the highest credit limit that you may qualify for at the time of application.
- For Neu Card 1 and Neu Card 2: After a period of 6 months from card activation, we will review your Neu Money account activity every month to assess whether you are eligible for an automatic credit limit increase. We will increase your credit limit by a fixed amount each month, if you continue to fulfil the conditions that make you eligible for the automatic credit limit increase.
- For Neu Rise: Each time you make three consecutive on-time payments without delinquency, a minimum credit limit increase of $25 will be given to you provided you pass ability-to-pay verification. You may also be considered for other credit limit increase amounts or offers. This will cease once your account reaches maximum credit limit.
- For Neu Go: Each time you make three consecutive on-time payments without delinquency, a minimum credit limit increase of $50 will be given to you provided you pass ability-to-pay verification. You may also be considered for other credit limit increase amounts or offers. This will cease once your account reaches maximum credit limit.
- If you qualify for the automatic credit limit increase, we will notify you, at the email address we have on file, how much the increased amount will be, and what your new total credit limit is.
- The maximum credit limit for Neu Card 1 is the lower of $1,000 or the highest credit limit amount that you were initially approved for.
- The maximum credit limit for Neu Card 2 is the lower of $2,500 or the highest credit limit amount that you were initially approved for.
- The maximum credit limit for Neu Rise is the lower of $1,000 or the highest credit limit amount that you were initially approved for.
- The maximum credit limit for Neu Go is the lower of $2,000 or the highest credit limit amount that you were initially approved for.
Subscription Fee
When you open a Neu Card 1, you are charged a non-refundable monthly subscription fee, which will be disclosed on your Statement and is based on the credit limit offered to you. This subscription fee is charged at the beginning of each billing cycle whether you use your Card or not. For the first month, the subscription fee will be pro-rated based on when the account is opened during the month. If you close your account, or if we close your account at our discretion, the non-refundable monthly subscription fee will continue to be assessed on your account each month until you pay off any balance owed in full.
Annual Fee
We will charge an annual fee upon activation of Neu Rise and Neu Go and every 12 months thereafter.
Using your Account
You promise to follow the terms of this Agreement as long as your Account remains open or has a balance, or until you have discharged all of your obligations under this Agreement, whichever occurs later. Any physical card you may receive, if we decide in our sole discretion to provide such card in the future, must be signed when you receive it. The card will be valid during the dates provided on the front.
You acknowledge that your account is for individual use only and that you cannot have more than one active account at any time. If we find that you have created more than one account, we reserve the right to close these accounts at any time. You further acknowledge that you must link a qualifying bank account in your name before you can use your account. We may ask you to provide proof of account ownership for the bank you are trying to link in the form of an external bank statement if we need to verify this information at any time. If you do not link a qualifying bank account, or if you attempt to link a bank account that is not in your name, or if you fail to provide proof of account ownership for your linked account after we’ve requested it, we reserve the right to close your account.
When you link an external bank account to your Neu Money “Neu” Card Account, you agree to and accept the terms and conditions of our bank linking partner, Finicity. You can view Fincity’s Terms of Use at any time here: https://connect2.finicity.com/assets/html/connect-eula.html. If you do not accept Finicity’s Terms of Use, you cannot use these services.
You should take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of your Card and Account. We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept your Card for any reason. Also, we may reject any transaction for any reason. Unless we tell you otherwise, we will bill each transaction to your Account and apply it against your available credit limit for the Account and Card in each Billing Cycle.
You must not use, or try to use the Card for any Internet gambling transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, racetrack wagers or similar betting transactions, escort services, or transactions that are illegal or not permitted by us. You will still be responsible for such transactions if you do. We reserve the right to decline any transaction that we believe is an illegal transaction, a transaction in violation of this Agreement, or a high-risk transaction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that we are not responsible for the recovery or reimbursement to you of any funds transferred in connection with any transaction authorized by you that is determined to be illegal. In addition, these transactions will be subject to this Agreement, and you might have to reimburse the Payment Card Network and us for all damages and expenses. You agree that it is your responsibility to determine the legality of each transaction in all applicable jurisdictions before entering into such transaction. Display of the Visa logo or any other logo by any person accepting the Card does not indicate that the transaction is legal in all applicable jurisdictions.
From time to time, due to circumstances beyond our control (such as system failures, fires, floods, natural disasters, or other unpredictable events) our services might be unavailable. When this happens, you might be unable to use your Card or obtain information about your Account. We will not be responsible or liable if this happens.
Protecting your Account Information and Credentials
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Card, your electronic devices and their passcodes, and any other authentication credentials used in connection with your Account (collectively, your “Credentials”). If you authorize or allow anyone else to use your Account (e.g., by providing the passcode to your device, allowing a third party to set up facial or touch identification, or otherwise providing any of your Credentials to a third party), the person may be able to make Transactions using your Account, and you will be liable for all Transactions made on your Account by that person.
Your Promise to Pay
You promise to pay us all amounts due on your Account. This includes all interest charges, Fees, and all other charges and costs which are applied to your account. This includes amounts where you did not sign a purchase slip or other documents for the transaction. If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (including, without limitation, mail, telephone, or internet purchases), this will be treated the same way as if you used the Card in person. You should receive a receipt from the merchant at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts. Charges not in excess of those permitted by law will be charged on the outstanding balances from month to month.
If you let someone else use your Card, you are responsible for all transactions that person makes. Your promise to pay us will apply to your estate if you die.
Statements
We will send you a Statement for the Card on your Account unless the law does not require or permit us to send a Statement. Statements will be sent at the end of each Billing Cycle.
Disputed Transactions
You should inspect each Statement you receive and tell us about any errors or questions you have as described in Appendix A (Your Billing Rights) below and the “Billing Rights Summary” part of your Statement and other Truth in Lending Disclosures.
If you dispute a transaction made by you or someone else on your Account, and we later credit your Account for all or part of the disputed amount, you give us all of your rights against that other person. You also will:
- give us any merchandise or other purchases you received in connection with the disputed amount if we ask;
- not pursue any claim or reimbursement from the merchant and that other person; and
- help us pursue and get reimbursement from the merchant and that other person. Your help includes giving us documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us.
Interest Charges and Fees
This section provides the interest rates, also referred to as corresponding Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) which are applicable to your account. We will charge Interest and Fees to your Account as disclosed to you in your Statements and other Truth in Lending Disclosures.
These Fees apply to your Account only if they are provided in your Truth in Lending Disclosures. We may increase your Interest Charges and Fees as described in the Changes to your Agreement section or in your Truth in Lending Disclosures.
Average Daily Balance Method (Including Current Transactions)
For Neu Card 2, Neu Rise or Neu Go, we figure the interest charge on your account by applying the periodic rate to the “average daily balance” of your account. To get the “average daily balance” we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new purchases, advances, or fees and subtract any unpaid interest or other applicable finance charges and any payments or credits. 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. This gives us the “average daily balance”. To calculate the periodic rate, we calculate daily periodic rate of APR divided by 365 then multiply by the number of days in the given cycle. Your payment due date will be at least 23 days from your statement closing date and will fall on the same calendar day each month.
Late Payment Fee
We currently charge a late payment fee of up to $30.
Overlimit Fee
We do not charge you a fee for going over your credit limit, but your credit score may be adversely affected, and the transaction may be declined, depending on the amount of the overage.
Returned Payment Fee
We charge you a fee of up to $30 each time any payment you make to us is not paid by your financial institution for any reason, even if that institution later pays it.
Express Delivery Fee
We may charge you this Fee each time you request express delivery of any Account documentation. Before we charge you this Fee, we will notify you of the amount and provide an opportunity to opt out of this service.
Balance Transfer Fee
Balance transfers are not available for your Card.
Cash Advance Fee
Cash Advance is currently not available for your Card.
Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies
Foreign currency transactions are available for your Card. You will not be charged a foreign transaction fee for any foreign currency transaction on your account.
Credit Limit Increase Fee
If a fee is imposed for processing a Credit Limit increase request, we will notify you of the amount of the fee at the time of your request and provide an opportunity to opt out of this service.
No Warranties
EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES WE PROVIDE IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO YOU, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE CARD OR RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR: DELAYS OR MISTAKES RESULTING FROM ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, INSURRECTION, WAR, OR RIOTS; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO HONOR THE CARD; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO PERFORM OR PROVIDE SERVICES; COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FAILURES; OR FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, ANY INTERNET SERVICE, OR ANY PAYMENT SYSTEM. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE HELD LIABLE TO YOU, YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER YOUR ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND YOU SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED US OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Merchant Refunds
If you are entitled to a refund for goods or services purchased with your Card, you will accept these refunds as credits to your Account if a merchant chooses to refund using this method. We do not control when a merchant sends us your refund. We will also have the right to a reasonable amount of time after we receive your refund to process it.
Minimum Payment
Your Statement will provide instructions for making payments, including the amounts due and the due date for receiving your payment. If applicable, your Statement will also include any INTEREST CHARGES, Fees, and your minimum payment amount.
Neu Card 1:
Your minimum payment will equal your monthly subscription fee plus the greater of:
- $30 (or your full balance if it’s less than $30) or,
- 3% of your ending balance for the Statement plus any outstanding fees and any amounts past due.
Neu Card 2:
The minimum payment will equal the “New Balance” shown on your statement if that amount is less than $30. If the New Balance exceeds $30, the minimum payment will equal the greater of 3% of the New Balance or $30, plus the entire portion of the New Balance in excess of your Credit Limit, plus any amount past due.
In addition to the minimum payment, you may pay all or part of the total balance on your Account. However, you must still pay at least the minimum payment amount each month, even if you paid greater than the minimum on the previous Statement.

Making Payments
Your payments must be in U.S. dollars from a U.S. deposit account and otherwise be acceptable to us. We do not accept cash or check payments. You may not make payments with funds from your Account with us. If we block your account due to multiple returned payments due to insufficient funds, you must pay any outstanding balance owed to us either by direct bank transfer using the Account and Routing number we’ll provide to you or through a mailed cashier’s check before we can close your account. Cashier’s checks can be made payable to:
Neu Money, Inc.
1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033,
Memphis, TN 38104
Faster Payment Services
We may make services available that allow you to make faster payments through a customer service representative using a telephone, the internet, or other payment system. We will describe the terms for using these services before you use them. You do not have to use these other payment services, and we may charge you a Fee for using them. If we do, we will tell you the amount of the Fee at the time you request the service. We are not responsible if a payment made using our payment services is rejected or
not paid. Even if it is, we may still keep the Fee. If you give your Account number or other Account information to someone else to make a payment for you, we may provide them limited Account information necessary for the payment and process their payment as if you made it. We may refuse to accept any payment made by someone else for your Account. If we accept a payment made by someone else for your Account, you will be responsible for the payment made even if that payment is rejected or not paid.
Payment Processing
We may accept and process payments without losing any of our rights. Even if we credit your payment to your Account, we may delay the availability of credit until we confirm that your payment has cleared, if circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves at risk for any reason. We may resubmit and electronically collect returned payments. We may also adjust your Account as necessary to correct errors, to process returned and reversed payments, and to handle similar issues. When you provide an Item as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your Item to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your deposit account or to process the payment as an Item.
How We Apply Your Payments
We will apply payments and credits in accordance with applicable law.
Items with Restrictive Words, Conditions, or Instructions
Our acceptance of payments labeled “payment in full” or restrictive words to that or any similar effect, will not constitute an accord and satisfaction nor a waiver of any rights we have to receive a full payment on all balances due.
Credit Balances
We may reject and return to you any payment that creates a credit balance on your Account. Any credit balance we allow will not be available until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may reduce the amount of any credit balance by any new amounts billed to your Account. You may contact us as provided on your Statement and request a refund of any available credit balance. If you contact us in writing, we will refund your credit balance within seven (7) Business Days from our receipt of your written request.
Account Default
We may consider you in default of your Agreement with us if:
- you do not make any payment when it is due;
- any payment you make is rejected, not paid, or cannot be processed;
- you exceed your credit limit;
- a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is filed by or against you;
- you die or are legally declared incompetent or incapacitated;
- we determine that you made a false, incomplete, or misleading statement to us or Neu Money or you otherwise try to defraud us or Neu Money;
- you do not comply with any term of this Agreement or any other agreement with us; or
- you permanently reside outside the United States.
For certain actions, including changing the rates and Fees on your Account, our options appear in our original offer materials provided to you when you opened your Account. Remember, paying the Fees charged in connection with a default will not by itself cure the default. In addition, if you are in default, we may take the following actions without notifying you, unless the law says that we must notify you:
- close or suspend your Account;
- lower your credit limit;
- increase your minimum payment;
- demand that you immediately pay the entire balance owing on your Account;
- continue to charge you Fees as long as your balance remains outstanding; and/or
- pursue any other action against you that the law allows, which includes the filing of a lawsuit
- against you.
You must pay us all of our collection expenses, attorneys’ fees, and court costs unless the law does not allow us to collect these amounts.
Communications
We and our service providers, including Neu Money, may contact you from time to time regarding your Account. We may contact you in any manner we choose unless the law says that we cannot. For example, we may:
- contact you by mail, email, fax, or personal visit; and
- contact you by manually dialing or using an automated dialing or similar technology to dial any telephone number(s) (including, but not limited to, cellular phone numbers) which you or anyone acting on your behalf provide to us at any time. You further acknowledge and agree that we may leave pre-recorded and/or artificial voice messages and/or send individual or mass-generated text messages (such as SMS) to such number(s), and that message and data rates may apply.
- Our contacts with you about your Account are not unsolicited and might result from information we obtain from you or others. We may monitor or record any conversation or other communication with you. We may do these things whether we contact you or you contact us. If you ask us to discuss your Account with someone else, you must provide us with documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us.
Credit Reports
We may provide information about you and the Account to consumer (credit) reporting agencies and others as provided in our Privacy Notices. We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. You authorize us to collect information about you in order to conduct our business and deliver the top-quality service you expect, including information we receive about you, information we receive from third parties such as consumer (credit) reporting agencies and information about your transactions with us and other companies.
All Cardholders: You may ask us to close your Account at any time by calling us at 1-844-NEU-DIAL. We may provide additional information about this process and we may also separately provide you with additional details after your request. This might include payment information.
Termination of your Account will not affect your obligation to pay the Account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under this Agreement. Your obligation to pay the Account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under this Agreement are subject to all applicable laws and regulations regarding repayment requirements. Any physical card you may receive in the future remains our property and you must recover and surrender to us upon request or upon termination of this Agreement.
If you use your Card or charges post to your Account after you ask us to close it, we may keep it open or reopen it.
We may close or suspend your Account and your right to obtain credit from us. We may do this at any time and for any reason permitted by law, even if you are not in default on your account with us. A suspension of your Account might be permanent or temporary.
If your Account is closed or suspended for any reason, you must stop using your Card. You must also cancel all billing arrangements to the Account. We will not do this for you. If we close or permanently suspend your Account, you must also destroy any physical Card in your possession. You must still pay us all amounts you owe on the Account, even if they are charged after your Account is closed or suspended. The non-refundable monthly subscription fee will continue to be assessed on your account each month until you pay off any balance owed in full.
Lost or Stolen Card
You will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of your Card and Account. If your Card or Card Information is lost or stolen or if someone else might be using it without your permission, you must tell us at once. You may tell us by calling us at 1-844-NEU-DIAL or by emailing us at support@neumoney.app. Your responsibility for charges made to your Account that are found by us to be unauthorized is limited to the lesser of $50 or the value of the unauthorized charges before you notify us of such charges. If we reimburse your Account for unauthorized charges made using your Card, you will provide commercially reasonable help to us, as appropriate to investigate, pursue, and get reimbursement from the wrongdoer. Your help may include giving us documents that we request.
Rewards Program
If your card and account is active and in good standing, you will be automatically enrolled in the cash back rewards program where cash back is earned for qualifying transactions. See the Cash Back Rewards Program Terms to learn more about how the program works as well as read important disclosures.
Share Program a.k.a., “Referral Program
If your card and account is active and in good standing, you will be automatically enrolled in the referral program where rewards are earned for referring others to join Neu Money. See the Referral Program Rules to learn more about how the program works as well as read important disclosures.

We may send such notice to you electronically if permitted by law. Our notice will tell you when and how the changes will take effect and describe any rights you have in connection with the changes.
The Law that Applies to your Agreement
This Agreement will be governed by federal law, and where state law is applicable, by the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to choice of law principles thereof. We are located in the State of Delaware, disburse funds from the State of Delaware, and this Agreement is entered into in the State of Delaware.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
Unless prohibited by applicable law, if you sign this Agreement, you waive your right to have a jury trial to resolve any claim (defined below in the Arbitration Provision) you may have against us, our service providers, our respective affiliates or a related third party. This Waiver of Jury Trial provision does not apply to you if, at the time of entering into this Agreement, you are a resident of Arkansas or a Covered Borrower under the Military Lending Act. “Covered Borrower” means a consumer who, at the time the consumer becomes obligated on a consumer credit transaction or establishes an account for consumer credit, is a covered member of the armed forces or a dependent of a covered member (as defined in 32 CFR 232.3(g)(2) and (g)(3)).
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Unless prohibited by applicable law, if you sign this Agreement, you waive your right to ask a court or an arbitrator to allow you to pursue any Claims on a class action basis or in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other borrowers or other persons similarly situated. Furthermore, Claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated with claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties. For purposes of this Class Action Waiver, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” shall also include Cross River Bank and each of its employees, directors, officers, shareholders, governors, managers, members, parent companies, affiliated entities, successors or assignees (including but not limited to Neu Money) the servicer of your Card and any third party who is named as a co-defendant with us in a claim asserted by you. In the event of a conflict between this CLASS ACTION WAIVER provision and the ARBITRATION PROVISION, the ARBITRATION PROVISION shall control. This CLASS ACTION WAIVER does not apply to you if, at the time of entering into this Agreement, you are a Covered Borrower under the Military Lending Act.
ARBITRATION PROVISION
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU IF, AT THE TIME OF ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE A COVERED BORROWER UNDER THE MILITARY LENDING ACT. ARBITRATION IS A PROCESS IN WHICH PERSONS WITH A DISPUTE(S): (A) AGREE TO SUBMIT THEIR DISPUTE(S) TO A NEUTRAL THIRD PERSON (AN “ARBITRATOR”) FOR A DECISION; AND (B) WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT TO RESOLVE THEIR DISPUTE(S). EACH PARTY TO THE DISPUTE(S) HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT SOME EVIDENCE TO THE ARBITRATOR. PRE-ARBITRATION DISCOVERY MAY BE LIMITED. ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS ARE PRIVATE AND LESS FORMAL THAN COURT TRIALS. THE ARBITRATOR WILL ISSUE A FINAL AND BINDING DECISION RESOLVING THE DISPUTE(S), WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED AS A COURT JUDGMENT. A COURT RARELY OVERTURNS AN ARBITRATOR’S DECISION.
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION APPLIES UNLESS (1) YOU HAVE EXERCISED OR EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO REJECT ARBITRATION OR (2) AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE A COVERED BORROWER UNDER THE MILITARY LENDING ACT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER YOU ARE COVERED BY THE MILITARY LENDING ACT, IN WHICH CASE THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, PLEASE CONTACT US 1-844-NEU-DIAL.
READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY AS IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW LEGAL CLAIMS YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF (NOT BE BOUND BY) THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AS DESCRIBED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO:
- YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY OR A COURT, OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SIMILAR COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION, RESOLVE ANY CLAIM THAT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION; AND
- YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM THAT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
THEREFORE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IS MADE PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION INVOLVING INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 ET SEQ., AND NOT BY ANY STATE ARBITRATION LAW.
SCOPE
FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, THE WORD “CLAIM” HAS THE BROADEST POSSIBLE MEANING AND INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION (A) ALL FEDERAL OR STATE LAW CLAIMS, DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, ARISING FROM OR RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND US, THE INFORMATION YOU GAVE US BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING YOUR APPLICATION, AND/OR ANY PAST AGREEMENT OR AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND US, ANY LOAN OR CREDIT PRODUCT OR RELATED PRODUCT OR SERVICES OBTAINED FROM US AND ANY ADVICE, RECOMMENDATIONS, SOLICITATIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, DISCLOSURES, PROMOTIONS OR ADVERTISEMENTS CONCERNING THE SAME; (B) ALL INITIAL CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, CROSS-CLAIMS AND THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AND CLAIMS WHICH AROSE BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION; (C) ALL COMMON LAW CLAIMS BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, FRAUD, OR OTHER INTENTIONAL TORTS; (D) ALL CLAIMS BASED UPON A VIOLATION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, STATUTE, ORDINANCE OR REGULATION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL CLAIMS ALLEGING UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE OR UNCONSCIONABLE TRADE PRACTICES; (E) ALL CLAIMS ASSERTED BY US AGAINST YOU, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR MONEY DAMAGES TO COLLECT ANY SUM WE CLAIM YOU OWE US; (F) ALL CLAIMS ASSERTED BY YOU INDIVIDUALLY AGAINST US AND/OR ANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, GOVERNORS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, PARENT COMPANY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES, OR ASSIGNEES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEU MONEY) OR AGAINST THE SERVICER OF YOUR CARD (HEREINAFTER COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “RELATED THIRD PARTIES”), INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR MONEY DAMAGES, RESTITUTION AND/OR EQUITABLE OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; (G) CLAIMS ASSERTED BY YOU AGAINST OTHER PERSONS AND ENTITIES IF YOU ASSERT A CLAIM AGAINST SUCH OTHER PERSONS AND ENTITIES IN CONNECTION WITH A CLAIM YOU ASSERT AGAINST US OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES; AND (H) ALL DATA BREACH OR PRIVACY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE DISCLOSURE BY US OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES OF ANY NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE WORD “CLAIM” DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, COVERAGE OR SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION OR ANY PART THEREOF; ALL SUCH DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES ARE FOR A COURT AND NOT AN ARBITRATOR TO DECIDE. HOWEVER, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY THAT CONCERNS THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE AGREEMENT AS A WHOLE IS FOR THE ARBITRATOR, NOT A COURT, TO DECIDE. IN ADDITION, THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL NOT APPLY TO (1) ANY INDIVIDUAL ACTION BROUGHT BY YOU IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR YOUR STATE’S EQUIVALENT COURT, UNLESS SUCH ACTION IS TRANSFERRED, REMOVED, OR APPEALED TO A DIFFERENT COURT; OR (2) ANY DISPUTES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION FILED IN COURT THAT IS PENDING AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IN WHICH YOU ARE ALLEGED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE PUTATIVE CLASS FOR AS LONG AS SUCH CLASS ACTION IS PENDING.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, 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. (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY LAWSUIT OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US BY A STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY EVEN WHEN SUCH AGENCY IS SEEKING RELIEF ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OF BORROWERS INCLUDING YOU. THIS MEANS THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY SUCH AN AGENCY). AN AWARD IN ARBITRATION SHALL DETERMINE THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE NAMED PARTIES ONLY, AND ONLY WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIM(S) IN ARBITRATION, AND SHALL NOT (I) DETERMINE THE RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS, OR INTERESTS OF ANYONE OTHER THAN A NAMED PARTY, OR RESOLVE ANY CLAIM OF ANYONE OTHER THAN A NAMED PARTY; NOR (II) MAKE AN AWARD FOR THE BENEFIT OF, OR AGAINST, ANYONE OTHER THAN A NAMED PARTY. NO ARBITRATION ADMINISTRATOR OR ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE POWER OR AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, MODIFY, OR FAIL TO ENFORCE THIS SECTION, AND ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO, WHETHER BY RULE, POLICY, ARBITRATION DECISION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE INVALID AND UNENFORCEABLE. ANY CHALLENGE TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY A COURT AND NOT BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY ARBITRATOR.
ELECTING ARBITRATION
A PARTY MAY ELECT ARBITRATION OF A CLAIM BY SENDING THE OTHER PARTY WRITTEN NOTICE BY CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED OF THEIR INTENT TO ARBITRATE AND SETTING FORTH THE SUBJECT OF THE DISPUTE ALONG WITH THE RELIEF REQUESTED. YOUR NOTICE MUST BE SENT TO NEU MONEY, INC., 1331 UNION AVENUE, SUITE 1033, MEMPHIS, TN 38104, AND OUR NOTICE MUST BE SENT TO THE MOST RECENT ADDRESS FOR YOU IN OUR FILES. IF A LAWSUIT CONCERNING THE CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED, SUCH NOTICE CAN BE PROVIDED BY PAPERS FILED IN THE LAWSUIT, SUCH AS A MOTION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION.
ADMINISTRATOR
REGARDLESS OF WHO DEMANDS ARBITRATION, YOU SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELECT EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION ORGANIZATIONS TO ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION: THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, 120 BROADWAY, FLOOR 21, NEW YORK, NY 10271 (1-800-778-7879),
HTTP://WWW.ADR.ORG; OR JAMS, 8401 N. CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY, SUITE 610, DALLAS, TX 75225 (1- 800-3525267), HTTP://JAMSADR.COM. HOWEVER, THE PARTIES MAY AGREE TO A LOCAL ARBITRATOR WHO IS AN ATTORNEY, RETIRED JUDGE, OR ARBITRATOR REGISTERED AND IN GOOD STANDING WITH A BONA FIDE ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND ARBITRATE PURSUANT TO THE ARBITRATOR’S RULES. IF THE AAA AND JAMS ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO SERVE AS ADMINISTRATOR, OR THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE UPON ANOTHER ADMINISTRATOR, A COURT WITH JURISDICTION SHALL DETERMINE THE ADMINISTRATOR OR ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATION HEARING WILL TAKE PLACE AT A LOCATION REASONABLY CONVENIENT TO WHERE YOU RESIDE.
IF YOU DEMAND ARBITRATION, YOU MUST INFORM US IN YOUR DEMAND OF THE ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION YOU HAVE SELECTED OR WHETHER YOU DESIRE TO SELECT A LOCAL ARBITRATOR. IF RELATED THIRD PARTIES OR WE DEMAND ARBITRATION, YOU MUST NOTIFY US WITHIN 20 DAYS IN WRITING BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF YOUR DECISION TO SELECT AN ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION OR YOUR DESIRE TO SELECT A LOCAL ARBITRATOR. YOUR NOTICE MUST BE SENT TO NEU MONEY, INC., 1331 UNION AVENUE, SUITE 1033, MEMPHIS, TN 38104. IF YOU FAIL TO NOTIFY US, THEN WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELECT AN ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE RULES AND PROCEDURES OF THIS ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION APPLICABLE TO INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER DISPUTES. YOU MAY GET A COPY OF THE RULES AND PROCEDURES BY CONTACTING THE ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION LISTED ABOVE. IN AN EVENT OF A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION, ON THE ONE HAND, AND ANY APPLICABLE RULES OF THE AAA OR JAMS OR OTHER ADMINISTRATOR USED OR ANY OTHER TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL CONTROL. IF A PARTY FILES A LAWSUIT IN COURT ASSERTING CLAIM(S) THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION AND THE OTHER PARTY FILES A MOTION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION WITH THE COURT WHICH IS GRANTED, IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARTY PROSECUTING THE CLAIM(S) TO SELECT AN ARBITRATION ADMINISTRATOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PARAGRAPH AND COMMENCE THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR’S RULES AND PROCEDURES.
NON-WAIVER
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 THAT OR ANY RELATED OR UNRELATED LAWSUIT (INCLUDING A CLAIM INITIALLY ASSERTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BUT MODIFIED TO BE ASSERTED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR MULTI-PARTY BASIS). NOTHING IN THAT LITIGATION SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU IN COURT TO RECOVER
AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THE AGREEMENT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST ARBITRATION, BUT IF YOU DO NOT ELECT TO REQUEST ARBITRATION, WE RESERVE AND DO NOT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST ARBITRATION OF ANY CLAIM (INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM) YOU LATER ASSERT AGAINST US IN THAT OR ANY RELATED OR UNRELATED LAWSUIT. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS, EVEN IF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIMS EXISTED BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
ARBITRATOR AND AWARD
ANY ARBITRATOR MUST BE A PRACTICING ATTORNEY WITH TEN OR MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OR A RETIRED JUDGE. THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT BE BOUND BY JUDICIAL RULES OF PROCEDURE OR EVIDENCE THAT WOULD APPLY IN A COURT, NOR BY STATE OR LOCAL LAWS THAT RELATE TO ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS. THE ARBITRATOR WILL APPLY THE SAME STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS AND PRIVILEGES THAT A COURT WOULD APPLY IF THE MATTER WERE PENDING IN COURT. THE ARBITRATOR MAY DECIDE, WITH OR WITHOUT A HEARING, ANY MOTION THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO A MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM OR A MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT. IN DETERMINING LIABILITY OR AWARDING DAMAGES OR OTHER RELIEF, THE ARBITRATOR WILL FOLLOW THE APPLICABLE SUBSTANTIVE LAW, CONSISTENT WITH THE FAA, WHICH WOULD APPLY IF THE MATTER HAD BEEN BROUGHT IN COURT.
NO ARBITRATION AWARD INVOLVING THE PARTIES WILL HAVE ANY PRECLUSIVE EFFECT AS TO ISSUES OR CLAIMS IN ANY DISPUTE INVOLVING ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION, NOR WILL AN ARBITRATION AWARD IN PRIOR DISPUTES INVOLVING OTHER PARTIES HAVE PRECLUSIVE EFFECT IN AN ARBITRATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
FEES AND COSTS
AT YOUR WRITTEN REQUEST, WE WILL PAY ALL FILING, HEARING AND/OR OTHER FEES CHARGED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR AND ARBITRATOR TO YOU FOR CLAIM(S) ASSERTED BY YOU IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AFTER YOU HAVE PAID AN AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO THE FEE, IF ANY, FOR FILING SUCH CLAIM(S) IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT (WHICHEVER IS LESS) IN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT IN WHICH YOU RESIDE. (IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID A FILING FEE FOR ASSERTING THE CLAIM(S) IN COURT, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY THAT AMOUNT AGAIN). WE WILL NOT SEEK REIMBURSEMENT OF SUCH FEES FROM YOU EVEN IF WE PREVAIL IN THE ARBITRATION. IN ADDITION, THE ADMINISTRATOR MAY HAVE A PROCEDURE WHEREBY YOU CAN SEEK A WAIVER OF FEES CHARGED TO YOU BY THE ADMINISTRATOR AND ARBITRATOR. WE WILL ALWAYS PAY ANY FEES OR EXPENSES THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO PAY BY LAW OR THE ADMINISTRATOR’S RULES OR THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION TO BE ENFORCED. THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO AWARD FEES AND COSTS OF ATTORNEYS, WITNESSES AND EXPERTS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE ADMINISTRATOR’S RULES OR APPLICABLE LAW. WITH RESPECT TO CLAIM(S) ASSERTED BY YOU IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, WE WILL PAY YOUR REASONABLE ATTORNEY, WITNESS AND EXPERT FEES AND COSTS IF AND TO THE EXTENT YOU PREVAIL, IF APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES US TO OR IF WE MUST BEAR SUCH FEES AND COSTS IN ORDER FOR THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION TO BE ENFORCED. AT THE TIMELY REQUEST OF EITHER PARTY, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL WRITE A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE GROUNDS FOR THE DECISION.
APPEAL
THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON ALL PARTIES, EXCEPT FOR ANY RIGHT OF APPEAL PROVIDED BY THE FAA. HOWEVER, IF THE AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY EXCEEDS $20,000, AND IF PERMITTED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR’S RULES, YOU OR WE CAN, WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER THE ENTRY OF THE AWARD BY THE ARBITRATOR, APPEAL THE AWARD TO A THREE-ARBITRATOR PANEL ADMINISTERED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE PANEL SHALL RECONSIDER ANEW ANY ASPECT OF THE INITIAL AWARD REQUESTED BY THE APPEALING PARTY. THE DECISION OF THE PANEL SHALL BE BY MAJORITY VOTE. REFERENCE IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION TO “THE ARBITRATOR” SHALL MEAN THE PANEL IF AN APPEAL OF THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION HAS BEEN TAKEN. THE COSTS OF SUCH AN APPEAL WILL BE BORNE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE TITLED “FEES AND COSTS.” ANY FINAL DECISION OF THE APPEAL IS SUBJECT TO JUDICIAL REVIEW ONLY AS PROVIDED UNDER THE FAA. A JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED BY ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION.
Notice and Cure; Special Payment
Prior to initiating a Claim, you may send us a written Claim Notice. In order for a Claim Notice to be valid and effective, it must: (a) state your name, address and Account number; (b) be signed by you; (c) describe the basis of your Claim and the amount you would accept to resolve the Claim; (d) state that you are exercising your rights under the “Notice and Cure” paragraph of the Arbitration Provision; and (e) be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested, at Neu Money, Inc., 1331 Union Avenue, Suite 1033, Memphis, TN 38104, Attn: General Counsel. This is the sole and only method by which you can submit a Claim Notice. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, we will credit you for the standard cost of a certified letter. You must give us a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. If, and only if, (i) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this paragraph on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (ii) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (iii) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request before an arbitrator is appointed; and (iv) the matter then proceeds to arbitration and the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), you will be entitled to a minimum award of at least $5,000 (not including any arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees and costs to which you will also be entitled). We encourage you to address all Claims you have in a single Claim Notice and/or a single arbitration. Accordingly, this $5,000 minimum award is a single award that applies to all Claims you have asserted or could have asserted in the arbitration, and multiple awards of $5,000 are not contemplated.
Binding Effect; Survival; Severability
This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits you, your respective heirs, successors and assigns. The Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits us, our successors and assigns, and related third parties. The Arbitration Provision shall survive any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. The Arbitration Provision survives any termination, amendment, expiration or performance of this Agreement and any transaction between you and us and continues in full force and effect unless you and we otherwise agree in writing. If any part of this Arbitration Provision is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable, except as follows:
- The parties to this Arbitration Provision acknowledge that the provision titled “Class Action Waiver” is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is non-severable from this Arbitration Provision. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’ Arbitration Provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.
- If a Claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the provision titled “Class Action Waiver” prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such Claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the Claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual Claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties will request that the court stay the Claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a Claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.

Armed Forces Members and Dependents
Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependents may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: the costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account). To be provided with an oral disclosure of this information, please call toll-free 1-844-NEU-DIAL.
This Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with the Military Lending Act, including its restrictions on permissible loan terms and limitations on interest, charges, and fees. The limitations on interest and fees apply to individuals while they are Covered Borrowers. As applied to Covered Borrowers: (i) any interest, charges, or fees in excess of the permitted limit shall be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy that limit and any amounts collected in excess of the permitted limit shall be refunded by crediting the Covered Borrower’s loan account or by making a direct payment to the Covered Borrower; (ii) the WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, and ARBITRATION PROVISION shall not apply as described above; and (iii) any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with the Military Lending Act shall not apply.
Waiver
We, our agents, assigns, successors, service providers, and the respective affiliates will not lose any of our rights if we delay taking any action for any reason or if we do not notify you. For example, we may waive your Interest Charges or Fees without notifying you and without losing our right to charge them in the future. We may always enforce our rights later and may take other actions not listed in this Agreement if the law allows them. You do not have to receive notice from us of any waiver, delay, demand or dishonor. We may proceed against you before proceeding against someone else.
Assignment
This Agreement will be binding on, and benefit, any of your and our successors and assigns. You may not transfer your Account or your Agreement (including any right or obligation under this Agreement) to someone else without our written permission.
We may transfer your Account and this Agreement (or any of our rights or obligations under this Agreement) to another company or person without your consent.
We reserve the right to use third party service providers including, but not limited to Neu Money, to perform any activity we are permitted or obligated to perform under this Cardholder Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS
YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A MISTAKE ON YOUR STATEMENT
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:
Cross River Bank
c/o Neu Money, Inc.
1331 Union Avenue
Suite 1033
Memphis, TN 38104
In your correspondence, give us the following information:
- Account information: your name and account number.
- Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
- Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe
- is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
- Within sixty (60) days after the error appeared on your statement.
- At least three (3) business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.
- You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR LETTER
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
- Within thirty (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.
- Within ninety (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 ten (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 exert this right, all of the following must be true:
- 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.)
- 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 Account do not qualify. Neu Money does not offer cash advances, ATM access, or credit card access checks.
- 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:
Cross River Bank
c/o Neu Money, Inc.
1331 Union Avenue
Suite 1033
Memphis, TN 38104
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.
