The Cardholder acknowledges the signed amount of a card transaction to be exact and expressly and
irrevocably authorizes the Bank to pay the amount to the affiliated merchant or authorized bank. The
Bank shall not be held liable for any transactions concluded by using the Card. The Principal Cardholder
shall be severally held liable for any obligations arising from the use of Supplemental or Additional Cards
even if statements are issued separately to the holders of such Cards.
2. Insurance mediation and data protection
I acknowledge that the insurer is liable for any errors, negligence or incorrect information in connection
with the insurance contracts provided. My personal data shall be treated as confidential. Cornèr Bank
Ltd. shall comply with the provisions of data protection legislation in the processing and storage of
personal data. Cornèr Bank Ltd. may commission third parties in Switzerland to process the card
application and to administer card relations and transactions where allowed under Swiss law and
subject to assurance of appropriate data protection.
Personal data made available in connection with the insurance may be forwarded to the insurers and
shall be processed by Cornèr Bank Ltd. and the insurers only for the purpose of concluding and
administering the insurance contract as well as processing a claim. Personal data may be disclosed to
authorized third parties and/or other Group companies of Cornèr Bank Ltd. for the purpose of

equivalent data protection (recognized as such by Swiss data protection legislation). Personal data is
stored in electronic form and/or paper format. I hereby acknowledge that, under the data protection

Credit Option Agreement
between Cornèr Bank Ltd., Via Canova 16, 6901 Lugano (hereinafter “Bank”) and the
Cardholder
1. Credit option/Interest
The credit option allows the holder of a Principal or Supplemental Card (hereinafter “Cardholder”) to pay
the due amount shown on the monthly statement in installments for transactions concluded after
expiration of the revocation period (see Art. 3 below). The Bank hereby is to receive the minimum
amount by the due date shown on the monthly statement, i.e. 5% of the entire balance but not less than
CHF 100. In the event the Bank has not received the due amount by the due date or such amount is less
than the minimum amount due, the Cardholder shall, without further notice, be deemed in arrears for the
entire balance with all of the legal consequences pertaining thereto. Such failure by the Cardholder shall
also cause the entire balance of any other statements for which the Cardholder is responsible to
become immediately due and payable. Any amounts over and above the spending limit must be paid
immediately. The annual interest rate due on outstanding amounts depends on the Cardholder’s
payment history but shall not exceed 15%. Any partial payments shall first be applied to the payment of
interest due.

The spending limit is based on the credit check and is notified to the Cardholder together with a copy of

Gold Cards) of the annual income or fraction thereof shown on the Card Application. As a rule, the
maximum amount is set at CHF 10,000 (for Classic Cards) and CHF 90,000 (for Gold Cards).
A credit check is conducted on the basis of the information provided by the Cardholder on the Card
Application. Such information is verified through inquiries made to the Clearing House for Consumer
Credit (IKO) and the Center for Credit Information (ZEK). Additional information may be obtained from
public authorities, employer or from the Cardholder›s banks.
The spending limit determined for the Principal Cardholder is to be understood as an overall limit for his
Principal and Additional Cards whereby the total of all card transactions must not exceed this overall
limit. Similarly, the spending limit determined for the Supplemental Cardholder is to be understood as a
combined spending limit for all his Supplemental Cards.
The Bank reserves the right to modify the spending limit at any time upon notification in writing to the

situation.
