* The simple Annual (nominal) percentage rate is the percentage rate specified on an annual basis serving as a basis for the Bank to settle the interest amounts payable to the Customer.

E.g. AMD 1,000 * 5% = AMD 50 per 365 days

The annual percentage yield (APY) is the percentage which a person shall receive by applying the simple annual percentage rate for AMD 1,000 over a 365-day period and by way of interest capitalization and payment frequency.

The annual percentage yield of the deposit is the amount obtained from the settlement of the interests payable at an annual percentage yield interest rate.

The procedure for settlement of the annual percentage yield is defined in CBA Regulation 8/02 “On the Calculation of Annual Percentage Yield of Bank Deposits”.

The Bank shall pay the payable interest amount at the expense of the Customer on a quarterly basis. Under the law of the Republic of Armenia “On the Profit Tax”, the Bank shall, upon paying the interests accrued to the Customer, act as the Depositor’s tax agent, charging profit tax in an amount prescribed by the law on interest amount (profit) and transferring it to the state budget.

** Documents and/or records past the expiry date of storage under the legislation of the Republic of Armenia shall not be provided to the Bank's Customers.

*** In the event and in the process of the disruption of the self-service devices providing services to the Bank or the unavailability of the accounts and the impossibility of replenishing the cards being maintained in the Bank, as well as for branches of the Bank (CSD) not equipped with such self-service devices, AMD 0 (zero) tariff shall be established.

In addition to the procedures prescribed in the tariffs herein, additional service commissions may be applied by the maintenance bank for cash-out transactions.

Personal Identification Number (PIN-code)

1. The PIN-code is intended for personal use and is a means of protection against unauthorized use of the payment card and identification of the Customer.

Upon receipt of the PIN-code in a signed envelope, the cardholder must check and make sure that the PIN-envelope is handed to him/her in an intact form, in connection with which a corresponding document is signed. The Customer receives a one-time PIN-code via SMS after inserting the card into the Bank's ATM and pressing the button "Receive one-time PIN-code".

The Bank has the right to independently determine the method of providing the PIN-code.

The Bank is not liable for the illegal and unauthorized use of the card due to the disclosure (provision) of the PIN by the cardholder to third parties.

8. If the PIN-code is incorrectly entered 3 times iteratively, regardless of the intervals between them, the payment card is automatically blocked and the card is assigned a status for confiscation, i.e. the card shall be confiscated.

9. To unblock the card, the cardholder shall call the Bank or the processing center, after which, if there are sufficient grounds for identifying the cardholder, the card is unblocked.

10. Payment cards confiscated via SST are provided to cardholders as follows:

10.1 if the cards have been confiscated by the Bank's ATMs, they are issued within 5 working days from the date of their confiscation.

3. The Bank may automatically make an urgent release of the payment card 2 months prior to the expiry thereof. Moreover, payment cards with a valid status upon release shall be subject to rerelease. If upon the urgent rerelease of the payment card this type of card is no longer issued by the Bank, the Bank may issue for the cardholder such a payment card that best suits the type and conditions of the reissued card.

For debit (settlement) cards:

• If there is at least one transaction for debiting or crediting the account (with the exception of interest payment transactions) performed during 3 months preceding the month of making a decision on reissue of the payment card and (or)

• if an active credit line is linked to the payment card for the term of its validity.

For credit cards:

• If the term of the line of credit attached to the credit card exceeds the validity period of the payment card in effect

Effective mechanisms for managing and mitigating risks arising during card transactions

2. The payment card may be damaged due to changes in the temperature of the magnetic strip, the impact of physical force or other reasons. The card cannot be stored near mobile phones, household and office equipment. The Bank reissues the damaged card according to the current tariffs.

3. The cardholder is obligated to ensure the confidentiality of the PIN-code and its inaccessibility to third parties on the basis of the security objectives of the card.

5. If the cardholder has confidence or doubts that the PIN-code has become available to third parties, it is necessary to immediately apply to the Bank for blocking the payment card and re-generating a new PIN-code via the servicing SST.

6. The SMS notification service allows the cardholder to specify any amount and receive an SMS message in case of authorization of transactions for the given amount or more. Taking into account that payment card operations are in most cases performed after authorization is received, the cardholder is able to effectively and in real time inquire about any authorized operation. The service is especially important for preventing the use of a payment card for fraudulent purposes.

7. When using a payment card in an Internet environment, the cardholder should pay attention to the presence of a "lock" in the corresponding browser field, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Secure Web Site record indicates that only the cardholder and the merchant can view payment information (details).

Fraud prevention

1. In order to prevent possible fraud by the payment card, the Bank may automatically block payment cards or transactions if the transactions performed by them, according to the Bank's internal criteria, are considered medium or high risk.

2. In case the cardholder confirms that he has performed an operation that serves as the basis for the Bank to suspend the payment card or transactions, the Bank, at the initiative of the cardholder, can unblock this payment card and transactions.

Security of card operations

Maintenance of a payment card

1. The cardholder must keep the payment card in a place inaccessible to others and be cautious with the card, especially in public places.

2. The cardholder should not increase their authentication limits without strict necessity, as the authentication limit reduces the risks arising from unauthorized use of the card by others.

3. When making payments or cash withdrawals, the cardholder should not hand over the card to anyone other than the appropriate employee (cashier).

4. The cardholder should not entrust their payment card to any other person. If necessary, additional cards linked to the same account should be ordered for them.

Use of payment card via SST

1. When performing a transaction through an ATM or other self-service device, the cardholder should pay attention to the appearance of the device, the card slot, and the keypad. If there are foreign devices, surveillance systems, wires, or any other suspicions, the Bank recommends using a different ATM or self-service device.

2. The cardholder should avoid using ATMs and other self-service devices in dark and deserted areas, especially if suspicious individuals are nearby.

3. When using ATMs or other self-service devices, the cardholder must enter the PIN code in a way that it is not visible to others. The cardholder should not accept offers of assistance from third parties to withdraw cash from the card.

Use of payment card at points of sale

1. When performing a transaction at a trade or service point, the cardholder is obliged to verify the transaction amount and other conditions of the receipt.

2. When making payments at trade and service points, the cardholder must keep the payment card as much as possible within their attention. It is preferable that transactions are carried out in the presence of the cardholder.

3. The cardholder should not present the payment card for payment in suspicious places or on suspicious websites (for example, nightclubs, erotic and other dubious internet sites). This point is especially important when traveling to Eastern European and Asian countries.

4. When entering the PIN code at trade and service points, the cardholder must ensure that the entry is made on the POS terminal or its attached keypad. Entering the PIN code in any other way is prohibited.

5. If the cardholder has made a transaction at a trade or service point and immediately discovers an erroneous transaction and is promised it will be corrected later, the cardholder may:

5.1. Refuse to sign the receipt,

5.2. If the receipt has been signed, demand a refund transaction and sign a new receipt for the correct transaction.
