What the agreement puts on the record

Bank of Missouri, the filed this agreement for M 141239 400 Tbom Std Ck with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The filing runs 13 pages.

The filing is explicit about a purchase rate, a cash advance rate, an annual fee line, a late payment maximum and a foreign transaction fee. It is silent on a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate.

The purchase APR against the corpus

Measured against every other filing on the site, 35.9% is about the 91st percentile for purchase APR; it is well above what most issuers disclosed.

The arithmetic of revolving

Put $1,000 on the card and never reduce it, and twelve months of interest at the disclosed purchase rate comes to approximately $432.

On a median-priced agreement from this index (21.99%) the same $1,000 would run about $246 a year, so this card costs in the region of $186 more annually for the identical balance.

Per statement cycle that is on the order of $29.93 on $1,000, which is the number that actually shows up on a bill.

That maths assumes a static balance and nothing else — no payments, no additional purchases, no fees folded in.

What a missed payment costs

The maximum late fee is $41 — roughly the 89th percentile of the late fee ceilings disclosed across this index.

The fee structure

$99 a year is the disclosed annual fee, which ranks near the 93rd percentile of the fees filed across this corpus.

For scale, $99 is approximately what $276 of revolving balance would cost in interest over twelve months at this card's 35.9% rate.

Cash advances carry a cash advance fee of $0 and a cash advance APR of 35.9%. The grace period described below generally does not extend to cash advances, so interest on them usually begins immediately.

Foreign transactions attract 3%. On $1,000 of overseas spending that is $30, charged on top of whatever exchange rate applies.

That is at the high end of this corpus — around the 91st percentile of disclosed foreign transaction fees.

The grace period

25 days is the disclosed grace period for purchases — the interval in which paying in full costs nothing.

The filing sets the minimum interest charge at zero — small balances are not rounded up to a floor.

What is outside the disclosure

Absent from the captured terms: balance transfer terms and penalty pricing. The original document is the place to look for any of these.

What this analysis can address is bounded by the filing: rates, fees and the terms around them. Everything a card issuer might advertise — rewards, benefits, bonuses, who qualifies — falls outside the document and outside this review.

Reading the agreement yourself

This summary stands or falls on the linked PDF — 13 pages. Agreements are amended over time, and the filing reflects the terms as submitted rather than as they stand today.

In short

35.9% on purchases is the number that dominates this agreement. Paid in full each cycle it never applies; carried, it is among the dearer prices in this index. The $99 annual fee is charged regardless of use, so it is a cost that applies even to an account that never revolves.
