Riley Hospital holds a special place in my heart. How does this card support their great work?

When you transfer a balance to your new Riley Children’s Foundation Visa, the transfer fee goes directly to the foundation.

What fees can I expect?

No Annual Fee3

The Riley Children’s Foundation Visa has no annual fee.

No Penalty APR/Pricing

The Signature Rewards Visa does not apply a penalty APR, also known as penalty pricing. A penalty APR is an increased annual percentage rate that issuers may charge when a cardholder is late on payments. This can be put in place as soon as just one missed payment. A typical penalty APR is 29.99 percent, but it may be lower on some credit cards.

Balance Transfer Fee

If you transfer the balance from an existing credit card when your open a Riley Children’s Foundation Visa, you will incur a fee equal to 1% of the amount being transferred. That fee is then donated to the Riley Children’s Foundation to benefit their work.

International Transaction Fees

When you travel internationally, you will be charged a fee of 1% of the charged amount for each international transaction. 

Late Payments

If you are late making a payment, you can be charged a late fee of up to $25.

Loss of Introductory Rate

It’s important that you make your payments on time. Otherwise, we may end your introductory rate and apply the standard APR disclosed above if you make a late payment.

What kind of fraud protection is included?

Get big protection in a tiny chip. Elements credit cards have chip technology built right in. This tiny chip will protect your card's information in a big way. When you use your chip card at a chip-enabled terminal, the embedded chip generates a unique transaction code. This helps prevent stolen data from being fraudulently used. Plus, you're protected against unauthorized use with Visa's Zero Liability Fraud Protection.
