Even with the implementation of the CARD Act where issuers are now required to be more transparent, millions of people have yet to fully come to understand the details in the relationship with their issuers. Fortunately, this does not have to be the case as the Federal Reserve has made it easier to not only find your issuer’s standard agreement, but know exactly what it details by going to the Fed’s informational credit cards website.

While using this site to seek out an issuer’s terms of agreement, one must note that the agreements shown after your search is that of a standard agreement. As agreements can vary for each cardholder depending on the plastic you were issued, it is best that you keep the original copy that came with your plastic. If you have lost yours it is best to contact your issuer and request another. Under amendments to the Truth in Lending Act, your credit card issuer must make your terms and agreement available upon request. If you issuer is not listed, don’t fret. You should be able to find your agreement on your issuer’s website as this is required by the Credit CARD Act.
