Display of product information


Interest Rates:

According to the legislation regulating financial products, a credit provider is not permitted to advertise or state to a potential debtor the interest rate for a product unless the rate is expressed as an annual percentage rate.

What does this mean for affiliates?


A ‘p.a' (per annum) must be clearly visible against rates when relevant.

Interest Free Days:

Where a given product includes interest free days, affiliates are to include the phrase "up to" along side the number of days.

"Subject to terms and conditions":

This phrase is to be included after any offer where terms and conditions apply.
This would apply to this quote as an example:
"Access to discounts and benefits with HSBC's home & away Privilege Program"
Statements such as "Best Offers" - Avoid misleading your users.
If you are making statements similar to the following on your website:
Best Offers
Best Loan Offers
Best Insurance Offers
You may be misleading your users if you:
(a) don't provide your users with information in relation to:
- how you have selected the "best" offers;
- the experience of the person/entity conducting the selection of "best" offers;
- how the basis of this selection corresponds with those commonly made in relation to financial products
(b) don't conduct an analysis of all available financial products in the marketplace.
A statement such as "Best Loan Offers" gives users the impression that the website
conducts an analysis of all available loans in the marketplace, when this may not be the case.
What does this mean for affiliates?
If statements such as "Best Offers" are being made on your website and you do not provide the
disclosures listed above in (a) and you do not conduct the full market analysis as described in (b)
you may be in engaging in "misleading and deceptive conduct" in breach of section 12DA of the
ASIC Act1 and "making false and misleading representations" in breach of section 12DB of the ASIC
Act.

How can affiliates avoid being in breach of Sections 12DA and 12DB of the ASIC Act?


1) remove all "Best Offer" type statements from your website, replace with "featured offers" as an example
2) make full disclosure to your users as to
a. how you have selected the "featured offers"; eg. Based on lowest interest rate p.a.
b. the experience of the person/entity conducting the selection of "featured offers";
c. how the basis of this selection corresponds with those commonly made in relation to
financial products; and
d. disclose to your users that you do not in fact compare the entire market of financial products and where you draw the line in terms of what you compare, for example
"financial products compared are limited to those who run affiliate programs or who choose to advertise on our site"
You can inform your users but not give them advice
If you are making statements such as "best offer" in relation to financial products2 on your website it may be considered as providing financial advice as it could be reasonably regarded as intending to induce a person to make a decision in relation to a particular financial product. To provide financial advice in Australia the law requires the giver of the advice to hold an Australian Financial Services License. (AFSL)
With the above in mind, if you do not hold an AFSL you will need to ensure the way you present the finance products on your website is informative as opposed to advisory. This is down to the fact the Corporations Act 4 holds an exception to the requirement of holding an Australian financial services license. The exception is for those who provide a service of informing users of available financial products as opposed to advising them of what products to choose. To comply with this exception affiliates need to: - again, remove all "Best Offer" type statements from your website or anything which could reasonably be regarded as inducing a person to choose a particular financial product.
- disclose to users of your website any benefits received for providing the information service.
1 The Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001(Cth).
2 Section 764A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) defines a number of the products (bank accounts, insurance etc) being
promoted and compared on affiliate websites as financial products.
3 See Sections 911A and 911D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
4 at reg 7.6.01(1)(e)

Applied Bank -


Bidding on the term "Applied Bank" is not allowed. Please do not refer to Applied Bank as Applied Card Bank. When referencing their products, do not use references of establishing, re-establishing, fixing, repairing credit history, preapproved or guaranteed approval. Affiliates must list text that issuer provides.

Bank of America -


Only copy from the Bank of America approved copy documents may be used to market the Bank of America credit cards.  All other copy is prohibited.  A request to market verbiage and/or copy that is not included in the approved documents must be submitted for approval prior to being put on websites. Examples include: card review pages, editor's comments, etc. as these are prohibited unless approval is obtained. Failure to comply may result in commissions being set to $0 until corrections and updates are made.

All credit card names must be listed exactly as noted on approved copy documents. This includes all corresponding symbols such as ® and TM. If character limitations are encountered, approval must be sought before offer is launched on website.

Bank of America requires that the intro and ongoing rate information have to be included on the same page within close proximity and cannot be one click away. Bank of America legal teams require pricing disclosures to be one click away for electronic media. Bank of America no longer permits affiliates to market the specific cash advance or penalty APRs for their products. They are requiring that if you display a field marketing either of these rates that you remove the rate and replace it with verbatim: "See Terms and Conditions accompanying application for additional offer details."

Creative mock-ups must be submitted by the affiliate to be provided to the Bank of America Legal and Brand teams for approval prior to launch.
Savings calculators require BAC Legal approval and BAC approved disclaimers prior to launch
Approved Bank of America card site "reviews" and editor comments require on-going management of content by affiliates

BoA approves on a site by site basis, not an affiliate number basis. Each individual site must first be approved by Bank of America prior to running creative or links on it. Please do not place ads on ANY site without getting prior approval.  This includes ad sharing sites such as usfreeads.com. Credit cards may not be marketed on Incentive sites. Framing the Bank of America website, contextual marketing, e-mail and newsletters, and marketing in chat rooms or on message boards is strictly prohibited.

All updates requested must be completed within 24 hrs (not business hours) within notification. Otherwise the product(s) must be removed and all commissions will be set to $0 until the site is in compliance per Bank Of America.

www.NewCardOnline.Com is BAC's site. Affiliates cannot list this on their website, cannot list this in their display URL, or bids. Use of the term Bank of America or any derivative as a display URL for search engine bidding purposes is prohibited.

Bidding Policy:


Affiliates are not permitted to bid on any stand alone branded key words and must add the following branded terms (and any misspellings or variations thereof) to their negative keyword lists:

Capital One -


Capital One allows approved publishers to market Capital One products provided the partners meet Capital One's marketing standards for quality and compliance.

1) Creative and Copy:


Publishers shall only use copy, card art, creative, and banners provided to them. At no time shall a Publisher directly download content from Capital One's web site or use any other content or creative that has not been provided via the aforementioned process, unless they have express prior written permission from Capital One. Copy must be used exactly as-is, no re-wording or condensing. All bullets must be used in the order that they are provided. Affiliates must have all written reviews regarding the Capital One products approved, and may not publish them without prior written approval.

Use of APR Information on Site:


Any Intro Rates listed in the bullets or copy, must be listed as "until (Month Year)". Intro Rates can not be listed as number of months, like "for 9 months". This is because Capital One's intro rates do not have rolling end dates, they have hard end dates. These end dates will be updated around every 3 months. An announcement will be sent of when updates are to be made.

A correct intro display example: "0% intro APR until December 2011 on purchases."
An incorrect intro display example: "0% on purchases for 9 months."


All rates listed are Variable or Non-Indexed and are subject to change by Capital One® Credit Cards, and are subject to change by Capital One® Credit Cards.
All affiliates need to call out that Capital One rates are variable. Please add "(V)" next to the APR listing. Example: 11.9%-19.9%(V).
For any additional comparison grid breakdowns, please tie all asterisks back to a footnote that reads, "*See Capital One® important disclosures for more information."
Correct Uses: "Variable APR*" and "Variable APR* on Purchases and Balance Transfers"

The credit rating needs to be listed exact i.e. Excellent/Good, Average/Limited, if cannot list both you must list Excellent or Average. If you need assistance/ have questions, please ask you affiliate rep.

2) Categories:


Capital One products may not be listed in categories that cater to people with bad credit, damaged credit, no credit, or those seeking instant approval. Specific examples are listed below. Bear in mind that this list is representative but not exhaustive, and that any terms synonymous to the below should also not be used.

* Balance Transfer- unless offer permits, and has been granted permission
Bad Credit, Damaged Credit, Rebuild Credit, Credit Repair, Build Credit1
Instant Approval, Fast Approval, Instant Response, Instant Decision (30 seconds, etc.), Instant Access to Credit
Unsecured Cards
No Credit
Any category with a sufficiently similar value proposition to the aforementioned categories

The following categories synonymous with less than perfect credit are permitted:
Good Credit
Fair Credit
Above Average Credit
Average Credit
New to Credit
Limited Credit (or Limited Credit History)

*If you include any of the Capital One cards in "Low APR" categories, the heading summary will need to be approved. To be compliant, you need to include the text "these cards feature either a low fixed rate APR or a low introductory APR" somewhere in the description.

Certain offers can only be listed in specific categories, or they have specific additional categories that they have been stated that they cannot be listed in. We do announce what these are when the offers do come out.

When in doubt, contact your account representative for clarification.

3) The above rule applies to all names, titles and descriptions of a category, such as the link on the site's main navigation bar, the title of the category's page, etc. For example, it is not acceptable to call a category "Limited Credit" in the navigation bar, but have a description referring to bad credit on the category's main page.

4) In addition to the aforementioned, categories which market unconventional value propositions that may have the potential to set false customer expectations will need to be approved before listing Capital One products. Examples of such categories are "High Credit Limits" and "Low fees".

5) Capital One Publishers are prohibited from optimizing their websites to mislead search engines into ranking them higher on Capital One specific terms. For example, creating a website with a page title of www.CapitalOne.com is prohibited. Publisher websites found to be doctoring their pages solely for the purposes of SEO on Capital One's brand may be terminated.

6) Publisher sites must get express written permission before mentioning Capital One in any place other than advertisements provided by Capital One. Examples of this include custom created reviews or advice articles. Capital One's brand can never be mentioned in conjunction with any of the prior mentioned forbidden value propositions.

1 Although you may NOT use "build" with a qualifying term like "good" (i.e. "Build Good Credit'), you may use "build" generically (i.e. "Build Credit".)
2 Although, you may not list Capital One in a "No Credit" category, we are comfortable being listed in a category called "Limited or No Credit History".

Capital One Publisher Search Policy


Capital One welcomes Publishers' Search Engine Marketing activities aimed at driving volume to their sites, provided such activity doesn't conflict with Capital One's own branded Search Engine Marketing program and that search marketing targeted at high risk consumer groups is not directly linked to pages advertising Capital One products. Specifically, Publishers must adhere to the following rules:

1) Publishers are strictly prohibited from bidding on any Capital One Proprietary (branded/trademarked) brand, trademark, trademark misspelling, product or service terms on any search engine or other media, including Google, Yahoo!, MSN, etc. This includes "Capital One" and all variations and misspellings thereof; including (but not limited to) Capitol One, Captial One, Capital 1, Cap One, Cap 1, Cap1; capital one credit card, mycapitalonecard, capital one card, Card Lab, branded/trademarked terms for Hibernia National Bank and North Fork Bank and all variations and misspellings thereof (for example, hiberna bank, norht fork bank, hibernia, north fork). No bidding on any Capital One URLS including "getmycard" or www.getmycard.com is permitted, as these URLs are for direct mail pre-approved customers. Please remember this list and the ones below are not all inclusive, and include examples.

2) Publishers must implement the negative keyword list containing Capital One branded terms and Capital One value propositions, provided in Addendum 1 of this document. This list may be updated by Capital One from time to time, and any new terms shall be provided to Publishers for further implementation.

3) Publishers are prohibited from displaying www.capitalone.com (or any other Capital One domain) as the destination URL in their SEM ad copy for any keyword.

4) Publishers can bid on keywords targeted at high risk customers; however such ads cannot be directly linked to pages containing Capital One cards3 (including Publishers' home pages if these pages contain Capital One products).

Examples of such keywords include, but are not limited to "Bad credit", "Damaged Credit", "Poor credit", "Credit repair", etc. A more detailed list is included in Addendum 2 of this document. Publishers should use sound judgment when deciding which keywords are targeted at high risk customers and consult CARDSYNERGY to assist with such decisions in regards to the Capital One program.

5) The same rule applies to bidding on keywords such as Instant Approval, Instant Credit, decisions made within a specific period of time (e.g., "30 second approval"), etc. Refer to Addendum 2 for more examples of such keywords.

6) Capital One reserves the right to request that Publishers re-direct links from any keyword to a page not containing Capital One cards or remove Capital One ads from the current destination page.

Capital One Publisher URL's Policy


Capital One manages its program at the site level. We consider two sites different if the sites homepage URL differs in any way. Publishers may only use URL's that have been specifically approved by Capital One in writing.

You may not market Capital One on any other URLs whether they are internal properties, sub-Publisher URLs, or any other type of URLs.

Capital One considers URLs that redirect to another URL to be distinct, and they must be approved separately. For example, www.abccards.com and www.abc-cards.com are two separate sites, even if one redirects to the other, and must be individually approved. Capital One will likely approve URLs that are sufficiently similar (differing only by plurals, hyphens, etc.), but this does not exclude them from the need to be approved.

 If a URL is not specifically mentioned in the most current insertion order, you may not use it. Any commissions earned by traffic from a URL which was not approved by Capital One will be reversed, and the offending partner may lose their right to market Capital One products on their remaining approved URLs.

This includes dynamically generated pages created for the purpose of landing customers clicking on specific search engine marketing ads

If you have any questions please contact CARDSYNERGY.

Email Marketing


The use of Email Marketing on behalf of any Capital One brand, trademark, product or service is strictly prohibited.

Content Provided by Capital One


Capital One will make best efforts to provide Web Publishers at least three business days prior written notice of any change to creative, content, card art or other program changes. Web Publishers have 24 hours from launch of these changes to comply, including but not limited to updates to Capital One creative, content, card art or any other content, credit card terms and conditions. Certain changes may be requested by Capital One on shorter notice.

Web Publishers will be audited on an ongoing basis to ensure appropriate content for Capital One is being reflected. Incorrectly displaying Capital One content may result in the withholding of any Commissions otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or termination of this Agreement.

Policy Violations


All Publishers must follow the Capital One Publisher policies. Violation of any of the policies may result in the withholding of any Commissions otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or termination of this Agreement.

The above policies are inclusive, but not exhaustive. If there is any question of any practice that your URLs or your subpublishers use, you should contact Capital One for clarification.


Monitoring, Escalation and Resolution of Issues


We will be monitoring all affiliate sites on Capital One's behalf. Capital One will be monitoring these on their own as well. This monitoring includes all search bidding on all search engines as well.

Any compliance and legal issues that we bring to your attention, must be updated/revised/removed within 24 hours or else the links will be disabled. If an affiliate has been notified of a legal or compliance issue and the change has not been made in 24 hours, we will disable the links.

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the foregoing activities or, as the case may be, refused promptly to comply with a request from us to exclude Proprietary Terms from any keyword as mentioned above, or have not made legal and compliance revisions to APRs, Rates, Fees, or Marketing Copy within 24 hours, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any Commissions otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.

General Offer Details:


-Chase requires that all text be listed verbatim, and if there are asterisks in the text they must be present on the affiliate site.
- Affiliates must list APRs properly whatever is applicable to the offer. Some Chase offers have single APRs i.e. 13.24% Variable*and some are range APRs i.e.13.24%-19.24% Variable*
- To be compliant with UDAP Variable is required in all instances where purchase, balance transfer, Cash Advance, Etc rate info is listed, affiliates cannot use (V) to abbreviate.
-Chase prefers that all bullets be listed for their products, but they will understand if affiliates cannot fit all. i.e. on home page where they may have limited space.
-No Chase offers can be promoted as instant approval, guaranteed approval, or as pre-approved.
-There can be no mentions of Bank One or Chase Manhattan on affiliate sites
- No Chase offers can be located in a Fair, Bad, No Credit, Limited or New to Credit Section.
- Chase REQUIRES that for all affiliates if they have a grid section to put credit needed for all of their offers as Excellent Credit. Their offers can be listed in categories on the website for credit of good or excellent. But the requirement for the grid must state Excellent, and cannot state anything other.
-BT Yes and No....The only 3 offers that will say BT NO are Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, and Ink Bold All other Chase offers will state BT Yes.
- The only offers allowed to be promoted in the Balance transfer category are the Freedom Visa offers, and Slate Visa.

-All Chase Bank URLs are prohibited from being promoted. i.e. www.sendmethecard.com, www.chasecreditcard.com, www.freedomcard.com, etc.

Chase Freedom Specific Details:


-If the Freedom offer has an intro Chase requires that the balance transfer intro be displayed. If you have two separate grid sections one for purchase intro and one for BT intro, that is fine. If you have only one section, you must either just list the balance transfer intro of: 12 months on balance transfers, or lead with the BT intro as: 12 months on balance transfers, 6 months on purchases. Chase wants for this to be specific.
- Freedom offers must list the bullets in order.
-The Freedom MasterCard $100 offer is limited only to the following categories: MasterCard, Chase, and Excellent or Good.

Ink Specific Details:


-For the Ink offers that have intros, they want both listed in each section of the grid. So they would like purchase and BT intro listed in the purchase section, and purchase and BT intro listed in the BT section. The display would read: 6 months on purchases and balance transfers.


Chase is following UDAP policy and guidelines, below is a table to clarify points of display.

Instead of this
Say this

PerkStreet -


Cannot be marketed in bad credit or no credit categories.

Branding Specific Guidelines


PerkStreet -

PerkStreet must always appear as one word with both the "P" and "S" capitalized.

The first mention of PerkStreet must be followed by a superscript "SM" subsequent mentions do not require any mark.
   Correct: PerkStreetSM

PerkStreet Financial -

Refer to PerkStreet Financial as a financial services company, not a bank.  The first mention of PerkStreet Financial must be followed by a superscript "SM", subsequent mentions do not require any mark.
Correct: PerkStreet FinancialSM
Incorrect: PerkStreetSM Financial, PerkStreetSM FinancialSM

MasterCard -

The first mention of MasterCard must be followed by a superscript ® mark. In every mention of MasterCard, the "M" & "C" must be capitalized.  

PerkStreet's products -

When referring to the products offered by PerkStreet, you can refer to it as an online checking account with rewards, a rewards checking account, a cash back debit card or the PerkStreet FinancialSM Debit MasterCard®.  When referring to the PerkStreet Financial Debit MasterCard, the entire phrase must be used with "MasterCard", "Debit" and "Card" all capitalized. The first mention must have the appropriate registration marks, subsequent mentions don't need them.  
Correct: (First mention on a page) The PerkStreet FinancialSM Debit MasterCard® offers customers the opportunity to earn significantly more rewards than traditional debit cards.
.
When mentioning the PerkStreet Financial Debit MasterCard, you must include somewhere in the page the following language "The PerkStreet FinancialSM Debit MasterCard® is issued by The Bancorp Bank pursuant to license from MasterCard International Incorporated." This only needs to be done one time.

If the MasterCard Debit Card is referred to generically, as in "one of the features of the account includes receiving a MasterCard Debit Card", the words "MasterCard", "Debit" and "Card" must all still be capitalized, and if this is the first mention of MasterCard it must be followed by a superscript ® mark.

FDIC insurance & PerkStreet's Relationship With the Bancorp Bank

PerkStreet Financial checking accounts are fully FDIC insured, up to $250,000.

PerkStreet Financial has partnered with The Bancorp Bank, member FDIC, to provide several of its banking services, including FDIC insurance.  If FDIC insurance is mentioned, it is required to include "The Bancorp Bank, member FDIC" or "Banking services provided by The Bancorp Bank, member FDIC" somewhere in the page.

It is not acceptable to state that PerkStreet Financial's checking account is "provided by" the Bancorp Bank. It is also not accurate to state that PerkStreet Financial is "owned by" the Bancorp Bank or that checking account is a "product from" the Bancorp Bank.

Perks Guidelines


Perks -

PerkStreet's rewards are referred to as perks.  You can refer to the program as a rewards program or a perks program, whichever you prefer is fine.  When referring to perks, the "p" in "perks" should be lowercase, unless it is being used in a headline where all nouns are capitalized.
 

Earning Perks -

You earn perks by making non-PIN purchases with the PerkStreet Financial Debit MasterCard.  This is standard for debit cards rewards programs.  Effectively whenever a cardholder makes a purchase with their debit card without entering their PIN they will earn perks on that purchase.  The following is a list of non-PIN transactions:
Any purchase that you sign for
Any purchase where you swipe your debit card and do not enter your PIN
Purchases made on the internet
Phone and mail order purchases
 

Perks Program Comparison -

PerkStreet's perks program can allow the average American family to earn over $600 a year in cash back. If this marketing claim is made you can substantiate it with the following claim:
"Making $601 in weekly non-PIN purchases will earn you $625 in perks annually (when you maintain a balance of $5,000).  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American household spends $601 per week on purchases that could be put on a debit card, including stuff like utility bills or rent."

First PREMIER® Bank strictly enforces their 500 application monthly minimum.  You must generate an average of 500 applications per month, per site in order to remain in their program.

Targeting:

Target the advertisement by describing our product as one that is offered to those with less than perfect credit.

Bank Name:

The PREMIER® Bank name must always be displayed properly. PREMIER must always be in all caps no matter where you have this listed on your site with a registered trademark behind it. The full proper bank name is: First PREMIER® Bank.

Listing of Pricing:

It is not acceptable to specify the pricing of the product, i.e. Annual Fee, Monthly Participation Fee, Account Set Up Fee, Program Fee, and Annual Percentage Rate (APR) in the bulleted or paragraph sections of your site. In the grid section of your site, list as: See Terms.

Text/Narrative:

Many partners provide narrative at the top or bottom of a category page, which conveys information about that particular category.  This narrative should be sent to us to send to PREMIER for approval.  In other instances, partners provide narrative specifically about PREMIER and/or PREMIER products (outside of the approved bullets shown in the program standards); this narrative must be removed from your website until it has been approved by PREMIER. This is including any articles that the affiliate may write about PREMIER and PREMIER products.

FICO or Credit Score Listings:

If you market PREMIER credit card products in conjunction with a credit or FICO score please use the following disclaimer:

"FICO scores/credit scores are used to represent the creditworthiness of a person and may be one indicator to the credit type you are eligible for.  However, credit score alone does not guarantee or imply approval for any First PREMIER® Bank product."

First PREMIER® Bank Page:

If you would like to include text on the First PREMIER® Bank page of your website that is informational in nature and not directly related to PREMIER®, you must add the following disclaimer:

"The following information is brought to you by (website name). First PREMIER® Bank is not affiliated with (website name) and does not endorse, nor guarantee, nor is responsible for this information."

When using the word MasterCard in a bulleted context, must use the word "card" after MasterCard. For example, "Use wherever MasterCard card/Visa cards are accepted." Also, must use "(subject to available credit)" after this statement.

Implication and usage of terms:

PREMIER offers cannot imply or reference that their credit card may help improve or increase the applicant's "credit score", "credit rating", and "FICO score". Therefore these terms, and other terms such as those must not be used in conjunction with First PREMIER® Bank offers, or on the webpage that First PREMIER® Bank offers reside. The term "credit history" can be used in conjunction with the word "may"; however, it must be clear that the consumer has to make their payments on time and keep their balances below the credit limit with all their creditors. For example, it is acceptable to state "Making all payments to all creditors on time and keeping your balances below the credit limit may help to improve your credit history."

Asterisks/Footnotes:

In the legal and regulatory environment, an asterisk is an accepted footnote symbol. It has been noted that there are instances where an asterisk is being used as a call-out, but there is nothing on the webpage that the asterisk leads to. If you do not want to add a disclosure or a footnote at the bottom of your webpage to tie in with the asterisks such as: "*See terms and conditions for further information about the product you are applying for", then you will need to remove the asterisks from First PREMIER® Bank offerings.

Other Products:

PREMIER cannot be associated with things such as debt consolidation programs, payday loans, credit reporting products etc. If these such programs or offers are listed on your site make sure they are not listed in close proximity to PREMIER products.
