If we open an Account based on this Application, you will be individually liable (or, for joint Accounts, individually and jointly liable) for all authorized charges and for all fees referred to in the most recent Cardmember Agreement, which may be amended from time to time. We may request consumer credit reports about you for evaluating this Application and in the future for reviewing Account credit limits, for Account renewal, for servicing and collection purposes and for other legitimate purposes associated with your Account. Upon your request, we will inform you if a consumer report was requested and, if it was, provide you with the name and address of the consumer reporting agency that furnished the report. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, including a number that you later convert to a cellular number, you are expressly consenting to receiving communications—including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system—from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls for non-marketing purposes. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. By submitting this application, you also agree that we may verify your employment, income, address and all other information provided with other creditors, credit reporting agencies, employers, third parties and through records maintained by federal and state agencies (including state motor vehicle departments) and waive any rights of confidentiality you may have in that information under applicable law.

By submitting this application, you certify that you read and understood the disclosures here and you agree to the terms of this Application.
Secured Savings Account Application: I request that Elan Financial Services ("you") establish a Secured Savings Account (the “SSA”†) for the Primary Applicant in the amount of the check I have enclosed. I understand that no certificate of deposit, note, or other instrument will be issued to me to evidence the SSA and that the SSA will be subject to the rules which will be provided to me. The SSA will be established with U.S. Bank National Association upon approval of my credit card application, but I agree that you may deposit my check and hold the funds held in trust for me without interest until the credit decision is made. If my application is not approved, the full amount of the check will be returned to the Primary Applicant at the address shown on this application. No withdrawals will be allowed from the SSA without your consent until after the Secured Card Account has been closed and repaid in full or until the security interest in the SSA has been released. I understand and agree that if this Account is established, I may qualify to have the funds in the SSA released based upon your periodic review of my overall credit history (including this Account and other credit cards and loans), and that more information is available in the Cardmember Agreement.
TIN Certification: Under penalties of perjury, I certify that (1) the number shown on this application is my correct taxpayer identification number and (2) I am not subject to backup withholding because: a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding, 3) I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person, and (4) the FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that I am exempt for FATCA reporting is correct.
I must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding because I have failed to report all interest and dividends on my tax return.
Security Agreement: As a condition to obtaining my Secured Credit Card (the “Credit Card Account”), I hereby grant to you a security interest in, and assign and transfer to you all rights, title, and interest in my SSA held at U.S. Bank National Association and all interest, additions, and proceeds therein to secure the payment and performance of my obligations to you associated with my Secured Card Account and all obligations to you under my Credit Card Account Cardmember Agreement. The SSA will not secure any obligations I have to U.S. Bank National Association. I hereby instruct U.S. Bank National Association to open the designated SSA in the name of “Elan –

Secured Credit Card Collateral Account” using the Primary Applicant's name and Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) provided on this Application. I further instruct U.S. Bank National Association to send copies of all statements and related materials to both you and me. I agree that while this security interest is in effect, you will have exclusive dominion and control and you will have the sole right and power to redeem, collect, and withdraw any part or the full amount of the SSA. If I am in default under the terms of my Credit Card Account Cardmember Agreement, I agree that you will have all rights the law allows, including the right to take funds from the SSA and apply them to my Credit Card Account balance without notice to, or further consent from me.
By signing below, I agree to the terms of the Secured Savings Account application, TIN Certification, and Security Agreement, and I agree that all agreements between you and me will be made when accepted or approved by you.
I understand that the Internal Revenue Service does not require my consent to any provision of this document other than the certifications required to avoid backup withholding.
