*To receive this special introductory APR, the cardholder must request the Balance Transfer at the time the new Visa Business Card account is opened or within the following 30 days. The special APR will be effective for the period specified above, beginning on the date of the account opening. After the introductory period, the special APR will adjust to the APR otherwise applicable under the Visa Business Card Master Agreement. The term "Balance Transfer" is defined in the Business Card Agreement, and does not include any convenience check that a cardholder may write to pay a balance owed to another creditor.

Business Visa® Rebate Accounts. Each business choosing a Rebate Account will receive an annual rebate based on a percentage of Purchases made on the business' Visa Business Card(s) during each calendar year. The percentage of these rebates may be changed by Compass at any time; the current rebate percentage is contained in the terms for the Business Rebate Program that will be sent with your card. The Rebate is based only on Purchases, not Balance Transfers or Cash Advances, and will not be given on purchase items later returned for credit. We generally will mail a check for the rebate during the first quarter of each year, but we reserve the right to credit the rebate to the business' account. To be eligible for the rebate, the Rebate Account must be open and in good standing at the time the rebate checks are issued. Certain limitations and exclusions apply and the terms of this rebate program are subject to change. See the information sent with the card(s) for the terms and conditions of the rebate program.
