Before you read the numbers.
The purchase rate was read from a row the document did not label explicitly, so it carries more uncertainty than the other figures here.

Analysis
The Locked VT Platinum CC Agreement and Acct Opening Disclosure 9 3 23 filing from Vermont State Employees Credit Union sets out a 18% purchase APR and no annual fee. That purchase rate ranks near the 34th percentile across this corpus of 4,587 filings.
On the face of the filing
Vermont State Employees Credit Union filed this agreement for Locked VT Platinum CC Agreement and Acct Opening Disclosure 9 3 23 with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The filing runs seven pages, and It is issued on the Visa network.
The disclosure covers a purchase rate, an annual fee line, a late payment maximum, a foreign transaction fee and a grace period. No figure appears for a cash advance rate, a balance transfer rate and a penalty rate.
The purchase rate was taken from a row the filing did not clearly label, so there is some risk it describes a different balance type.
Pricing the purchase rate
At 18%, the purchase APR falls at roughly the 34th percentile of the 2,280 filings indexed here, which undercuts the typical filing.
What the rate means in dollars
A $2,000 balance left untouched for twelve months accrues about $394 in interest at this purchase rate.
Measured against the 21.99% corpus median, the same $2,000 costs approximately $97 less per year here.
Treat this as an illustration of what the disclosed rate does, not as a projection of a real account, which would be shaped by payments and by the fees described elsewhere in the filing.
What the card costs before you borrow
There is no annual fee. That is the common case in this corpus — about 75% of the filings that disclose an annual fee at all disclose it as $0 — so it is a baseline expectation rather than a distinguishing feature.
The filing sets a 1% foreign transaction fee, which adds roughly $15 to $1,500 spent outside the United States.
Default pricing
On the fee side, a late payment can cost up to $20, which is around the 17th percentile here.
Paying in full
The filing gives 25 days' grace on purchases, meaning a statement balance paid in full within that window attracts no interest. That matches the 25-day median across the corpus almost exactly.
No minimum interest charge is imposed, so a cycle that accrues a few cents of interest is billed a few cents.
What is outside the disclosure
Absent from the captured terms: penalty pricing. The original document is the place to look for any of these.
An agreement filing is not a marketing document. Rewards, perks, welcome offers and eligibility rules are not in it, are not in this dataset, and are therefore not discussed anywhere on this page.
Where the authority sits
This summary stands or falls on the linked PDF — seven pages. Agreements are amended over time, and the filing reflects the terms as submitted rather than as they stand today.
In short
At 18% the purchase rate is close to ordinary for this corpus; nothing in the rate table sets this filing far apart from its peers. Because there is no annual fee, everything depends on the revolving behaviour: used as a payment instrument and cleared monthly, this agreement costs nothing.
