Bank Of America Introduces
Secured Credit Card In Oregon
Bank of America today intro
duced a secured credit card for con
sumers with little or no credit history',
such as young people and those re
cently divorced or widowed.
The new BankAmericard Se
cured Card is available through the
bank's 84 branches in Oregon.
The card is secured -- or backed
— by a BofA savings account in an
amount equal to the credit line, w hich
can range from $500 to $5,000. The
principal balance can't be w ithdrawn
while the customer has the card. If a
card member fails to repay the debt,
the bank collects from the savings
account.
“The new BankAmericard Se
cured Card enables us to meet the
credit needs of our customers who
may not otherwise qualify for our
credit card,'' said Jim Barri, BofA
Oregon vicechainnanofRetail Bank
ing. “Once customers build a good
credit history or re-establish credit
after economic hardship, we hope to
graduate them to our classic card.”
According to Barri, the card is
competitively priced and enables the
bank to strengthen customer rela
tionships.
The rate on the new secured
card, currently set at 18.15%, is a
variable rate, which is adjusted quar
B A N K IN G
ON
terly and is based on the prime rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal
pluk 10.9%. The annual fee of $18 is
waived if the customer has a BofA
checking account. Accounts have a
25-day grace period on purchases
before interest is charged.
To apply for the secured card,
custom ers must be at least 18
years old, have a U.S. address,
never have filed for bankruptcy,
and all credit accounts must be
current. A fter 18 m onths o f con
tinuously m aking paym ents on
time, custom ers will be eligible
for a B ankA m ericard w ithout the
required savings deposit.

Rose Bowl To
Delay Classes
In Eugene
Winter-term classes at the Uni
versity ofOregon w ill begin Wednes
day, Jan. 4, one day later than origi
nally scheduled, due to concents over
the safety of students returning from
the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena,
Calif.
The football contest between the
UO Ducks and Penn State Nittany
Lions takes place on Monday, Jan. 2.
Winter-term classes had been sched
uled to begin the next day.
UO President Dave Frohnmayer
got the approval to delay the start
from Joe Cox, chancellor of the Or
egon State System of Higher Educa
tion.
“We estimate that one-third of
our student body, perhaps 6,000 stu
dents, may attend the Rose Bowl and
that many of them may be driving
hom e after the g am e,” said
Frohnmayer. “To help ensure their
safe return, we thought it appropriate
to delay the start of winter classes by
one day.”
