2.   Back-Up Originator.

The Bank, in its capacity as Back-Up Originator, and the Company shall each: (i) appoint designated representatives to coordinate the relationship under the Fingerhut Program and ensure that such representatives maintain periodic communications with the other party’s designated representatives; and (ii) maintain all internal systems, documentation and procedures which would be necessary in the event the Bank were to replace the Existing Bank and become the originator for the Fingerhut Program pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
  (b)   Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the Program Start Date, the Company will pay the Bank a monthly service fee of [ * ] (the “Monthly Back-Up Originator Fee”). The Monthly Back-Up Originator Fee will be payable within five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar month.

  (c)   At any time during the term of this Agreement, Company may designate the Program Start Date by providing the Activation Notice to the Bank, which the Company shall provide and the Bank shall receive not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior to the effective Program Start Date; provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (or, if thirty (30) days’ notice is not reasonably practicable, such period of notice in excess of five (5) days that may be reasonable under the circumstances) of the effective Program Start Date.
  (d)   On or after the Program Start Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may cause the Existing Bank to transfer, assign, and convey the Existing Accounts to the Bank upon such terms and conditions as are mutually agreeable between the Existing Bank, the Bank, and the Company and the Company shall pay any and all costs and expenses in connection with and in any way related to the transfer, assignment, and conveyance of the Existing Accounts from the Existing Bank to the Bank, including, without limitation, all of Bank’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses,

      but excluding any corporate allocations, administrative fees, and mark-ups imposed by the Bank. Company, on Bank’s behalf, and at Company’s sole expense, shall issue new borrower terms and conditions and re-issue cards, if applicable, in accordance with the Consumer Finance Materials, to holders of those Existing Accounts that have been transferred, assigned, and conveyed from the Existing Bank to the Bank.
  (e)   Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the Program Start Date, the Company agrees to provide Bank with prior written notice of any proposed amendments, modifications, or other changes related to the Fingerhut Program with the Existing Bank as originator to the extent that any such amendments, modifications, or other changes: (i) do not comply in all respects with the terms and conditions in this Agreement; and/or (ii) would require notification to the Bank if such amendments, modifications, or other changes were proposed by Company to Bank after the Program Start Date with respect to the Fingerhut Program with Bank as the originator, including without limitation any amendments, modifications, or other changes to any of the terms of Exhibits B, C or D hereto. Upon issuance of an Activation Notice to the Bank, Company shall provide to Bank copies of all then current documents, forms, and other materials related to the Fingerhut Program including, without limitation, the Consumer Finance Materials, for review during the ninety (90) day period following Company’s delivery of the Activation Notice (the “Review Period”). Company shall incorporate any changes to the Fingerhut Program and the related documents, forms, and materials including, without limitation, the Consumer Finance Materials, which may be required by Bank within five (5) days notice thereof.

During the Review Period, but subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Company may continue to use the Fingerhut Program materials in place as of the date the Company delivers the Activation Notice to Bank.

In the event that Company implements any proposed amendments, modifications, or other changes related to the Fingerhut Program with the Existing Bank to which Bank has provided an objection notice, Bank shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) refuse to accept the transfer of any Existing Account after Company implements any proposed amendments, modifications, or other changes related to the Fingerhut Program with the Existing Bank to which Bank has provided an objection notice, except to the extent that Applicable Law permits the Company and/or Bank to provide a valid and enforceable change in terms notice to fully address and remove Bank’s objection to any such amendments, modifications, or other changes; and (ii) refuse to serve as originator under the Fingerhut Program until such time as Company has revised the Fingerhut Program to remove any amendments, modifications, or other changes that Company implemented over Bank’s objection.

  (f)   The Bank and Company agree that the Bank’s obligation to serve as the originator under the Fingerhut Program and to accept the transfer, assignment, or conveyance of the Existing Accounts as provided in this Agreement will not take effect, and will not become valid and operative, if: (i) the Company’s representations and warranties in this Agreement are not true, accurate, and complete as of the date that the Company delivers the Activation Notice to the Bank and on the Program Start Date; (ii) the Company is in default of any of its obligations to the Bank under the terms of this Agreement and/or any other agreements between the Company and the Bank, including that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Product Program Agreement dated as of August 20, 2010 and that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of August 20,2010; or (iii) the Company and the Bank have not agreed to Consumer Finance Materials as provided in Section 5 herein or the Company has failed to comply in any relevant respect with its obligations under Section 2(e).
  (g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under Sections 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, and 23 of this Agreement shall not be effective until the Program Start Date.
3.   Marketing of Accounts; Offering Debt Waiver Product.
  (a)   At its own cost, Company shall promote and market the Fingerhut Program and the Accounts via mail, email, the Internet and any other form of media determined to be appropriate by Company. Bank shall have the right to direct the Company not to promote or market the Fingerhut Program through any media channels or vendors that Bank deems, in its reasonable discretion, to be unsuitable or harmful to Bank’s reputation. Bank agrees that Company may refer to Bank and the Fingerhut Program in promotional and marketing materials, including marketing scripts, upon the condition that any references to Bank and/or the Fingerhut Program in any such materials which relate to the extension of credit by Bank or Bank’s participation in the Fingerhut Program must receive the prior written Approval of Bank. Company shall ensure that all promotional and marketing materials and marketing strategies relating to the Fingerhut Program, including without limitation the extension of credit by Bank, shall be accurate, not misleading, and comply with Applicable Laws.
  (b)   Bank shall review any materials submitted by Company in accordance with Section 3(a) and notify Company of its Approval or objection within five (5) Business Days after Bank’s receipt of such materials. Further, subject to the foregoing sentence, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to develop and document a process for the review of promotional and marketing materials.
  (c)   At its own cost, Company, on behalf of Bank, shall offer and promote to Applicants and Borrowers a debt waiver product with terms and features recommended by Company and approved by Bank in its sole discretion, initially as described in Exhibit L attached hereto (“Debt Waiver Product”), and as amended, modified, or otherwise changed from time to time, subject to prior written Approval of Bank.

Company acknowledges that approval of an Application creates a creditor-borrower relationship between Bank and Borrower which involves, among other things, the establishment of an account, the extension of credit, the disbursement of loan proceeds, and the collection of loan payments by Bank. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Bank to extend credit to an Applicant or make an advance on an Account or Existing Account if Bank determines that doing so would be an unsafe or unsound banking practice; provided, however, that in such an event, Bank shall notify Company of its determination.
  (b)   Subject to the provisions for Minimum Origination Fees in subsection (c) below, Company shall pay to the Bank an origination fee (“Origination Fee”) for each Account Advance equal to: (i) [ * ] for the first [ * ] of Fingerhut Receivables originated by Bank in each Measuring Period; (ii) [ * ] over [ * ] of Fingerhut Receivables originated by Bank in each Measuring Period; and, (iii) [ * ] over [ * ] of Fingerhut Receivables originated by Bank in each Measuring Period, including during any Renewal Term.

      Fees”) of [ * ] during each Measuring Period. An amount equal one-twelfth (1/12) of the Minimum Origination Fees shall be paid to the Bank on a monthly basis; provided, however, that such monthly amount paid by the Company to the Bank shall be no less than [ * ] (the “Minimum Monthly Payment”), with a pro-rated portion of the Minimum Monthly Payment being paid to the Bank for a partial calendar month, if any, immediately following the Program Start Date. To the extent the payment made in respect of Origination Fees paid during any calendar month are less than the then applicable prorated Minimum Monthly Payment, the Company shall pay such difference to Bank not later than five (5) Business Days from the conclusion of each month and each subsequent month thereafter until such time as the aggregate Origination Fees paid equal the then applicable Minimum Origination Fees. Company shall make the payment in respect of Origination Fees above and beyond the Minimum Monthly Payments once the aggregate of the Origination Fees exceed the sum of the Minimum Monthly Payments at any time during each applicable twelve (12)-month period in accordance with the terms of the Back-Up Originator RSA.
5.   Consumer Documents and Fingerhut Credit Policy. The following documents, terms and procedures (“Consumer Finance Materials”) will be used by the Company and, as applicable, the Bank with respect to the Accounts and, as applicable, the Existing Accounts: (i) Fingerhut Program description (financial terms of Accounts) as Exhibit A; (ii) Fingerhut Credit Policy as Exhibit B; (iii) form of Application, including disclosures required by Applicable Law, as Exhibit C; (iv) Account Documentation, including the forms of Account Agreement, privacy policy and privacy notices and monthly Account statements- as Exhibit D; Customer Identification Procedures as Exhibit E; (v) Sample Daily Funding Statement as Exhibit F; Settlement Account Information as Exhibit G; Insurance Requirements as Exhibit H; Fingerhut Program Compliance Manual as Exhibit I; Third Party Service Contractors as Exhibit J; Bank Secrecy Act Policy as Exhibit K; Debt Waiver Product as Exhibit L; and Debt Waiver Product Terms and Conditions as Exhibit M.

In addition, Company will notify Bank if any of the form communications to Applicants and Borrowers relating specifically to the extension of credit, which forms the Company has provided, or will provide to the Bank prior to the Program Start Date, are changed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Program Start Date, no change may be made to the Fingerhut Credit Policy, Exhibit B, unless such change has been approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. The Parties acknowledge that each Account Agreement and all other documents referring to the creditor for the Fingerhut Program shall identify the Bank as the creditor for the Accounts at the time of Account origination, and that all checks or other items in repayment of Account Advances shall be made payable to Bank or its assigns so long as Bank owns such Account Advances.

13


 

      arbitration or action, or if the Indemnified Party determines the existence of any such claim or the commencement by any third party of any such legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, whether or not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifiable Claim”), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss, and, if known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Loss, provided that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the actual prejudice, if any, suffered by such Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure.

  (d)   The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its own expense, to commence the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation.

So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) where such Indemnifiable Claim involves a Bank’s Regulatory Authority, Bank shall retain the right to control the settlement or defense thereof whether Bank is an Indemnifying Party or an Indemnified Party, and (ii) if Bank is the Indemnified Party, Bank shall be entitled to the Indemnifying Party’s cooperation and indemnification, including out-of-pocket expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Bank.
  (e)   If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable

21.   Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining portions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering such provision or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
 
22.   Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations created under it shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, and permitted assigns.

23.   Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating a third-party beneficiary relationship between either Party and any other Person; provided, however, (i) Fingerhut Receivables LLC, (ii) the Administrative Agent and (iii) the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Third Party Beneficiaries”) shall each be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

25.   Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties. The failure of a Party to require the performance of any term of this Agreement or the waiver by a Party of any default under this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent enforcement of such term and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.
 
26.   Entire Agreement. The Program Documents, including exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous negotiations or oral or written agreements with regard to the same subject matter.
 
27.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by the Parties in any number of counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
 
28.   Interpretation. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments thereto, and the same shall be construed neither for nor against either Party, but shall be given a reasonable interpretation in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and the intent of the Parties.
 
29.   Agreement Subject to Applicable Laws. If(a) either Party has been advised by legal counsel of a change in Applicable Laws or any judicial decision of a court having jurisdiction over such Party or any interpretation of a Regulatory Authority that, in the view of such legal counsel, would have a materially adverse effect on the rights or obligations of such Party under this Agreement or the financial condition of such Party, (b) either Party shall receive a request of any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over such Party, including any letter or directive of any kind from any such Regulatory Authority, that prohibits or restricts such Party from carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) either Party has been advised by legal counsel that such Party’s or the other Party’s continued performance under this Agreement would violate Applicable Laws then the Parties shall meet and consider in good faith any modifications, changes or additions to the Fingerhut Program or the Program Documents that
      
Bluestem Brands, Inc. — WebBank- Back-Up Originator Revolving Loan Product Program Agreement — Final    

24


 

    may be necessary to eliminate such result. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program Documents, including Section 13 hereof, if the Parties are unable to reach agreement regarding such modifications, changes or additions to the Fingerhut Program or the Program Documents within ten (10) Business Days after the Parties initially meet, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Party. A Party may suspend performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or require the other Party to suspend its performance of its obligations under this Agreement, upon providing the other Party advance written notice, if any event described in subsections 29(a), (b) or (c) above occurs.
 
30.   Force Majeure. If any Party shall be unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then the performance of the obligations under this Agreement of such Party as they are affected by such cause shall be excused during the continuance of the inability so caused, except that should such inability not be remedied within thirty (30) days after the date of such cause, the Party not so affected may at any time after the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, during the continuance of such inability, terminate this Agreement on giving written notice to the other Party and without payment of a termination fee or other penalty. To the extent that the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event is unable to carry out the whole or any part of its obligations under this Agreement because a prerequisite obligation of the Party so affected has not been performed, the Party not affected by a Force Majeure Event also is excused from such performance during such period. A “Force Majeure Event” as used in this Agreement shall mean an unanticipated event that is not reasonably within the control of the affected Party or its subcontractors (including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of governmental authorities, strikes, war, riot and any other causes of such nature), and which by exercise of reasonable due diligence, such affected Party or its subcontractors could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, overcome or obtain, or cause to be obtained, a commercially reasonable substitute therefore. No Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder if its failure of performance is due to removable or remediable causes which such Party fails to remove or remedy using commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time period. Either Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a Force Majeure Event shall give prompt notice of such fact to the other Party, followed by written confirmation of notice, and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all reasonable dispatch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to suspend payments of the Settlement Amounts due to Company (as required under Section 8(a) of this Agreement) during the period commencing with the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event resulting in Company’s monetary default, including its failure to maintain the Required Balance in the Collateral Account, and ending when such Force Majeure Event has been cured.
 
31.   Jurisdiction; Venue. The Parties consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts in Salt Lake City, Utah for any court action or proceeding. The terms of this Section 31 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
 
32.   Insurance. Company agrees to maintain insurance coverages on the terms and conditions specified in Exhibit H at all times during the term of this Agreement and to notify Bank promptly of any cancellation or lapse of any such insurance coverage.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Party shall fail to make any payment required of it under this Agreement as a result of a breach or alleged breach by the other Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement, provided that the making of any payment hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by the Party making the payment of any rights it may have under the Program Documents or by law.
 
44.   Referrals. Neither Party has agreed to pay any fee or commission to any agent, broker, finder, or other person for or on account of such person’s services rendered in connection with this Agreement that would give rise to any valid claim against the other Party for any commission, finder’s fee or like payment.
 
45.   Financial Information to be Provided.

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error, the following are true:
  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent.
 
  The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. But, if we determine that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
 
  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
 
  We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
YOUR RIGHTS IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR CREDIT PURCHASES
If you use your card to make a purchase and you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you receive, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home State or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
2. You must have used your card for the purchase.
3. You must have not yet fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: Fingerhut Credit Account Services, P.O. Box 1250, St. Cloud, MN ###-###-####.
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay we may report you as delinquent.
CREDIT BUREAU DISPUTES
If you believe we inaccurately reported credit history information about you or your Account to a credit reporting agency, call us at ###-###-#### or write to us at: Credit Bureau Reporting Services, 6250 Ridgewood Road, St. Cloud, MN 56303. Please provide the Fingerhut Credit Account number along with a copy of your credit bureau report reflecting the information that you believe is inaccurate.
HOW WE CALCULATE INTEREST CHARGES
To calculate the interest charge payable each month, we multiply the average daily balance times the monthly periodic rate and, if applicable, add any deferred interest charge (see DEFERRAL PERIODS). Your Account is subject to a minimum interest charge of $1.00. Average Daily Balance: We figure the interest charge on your Account by applying the monthly periodic rate to the “average daily balance” of your Account, including current transactions, To get the “average daily balance” we take the beginning balance of your Account, each day, add any new purchases, charges and other fees, and subtract any payments or credits. Purchases subject to Deferral Periods described below are excluded from our calculation of the “average daily balance” until the day following the expiration of the Deferral Period. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for that billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the “average daily balance”.
Interest charges begin to accrue on each purchase on the date of the purchase. However, if you paid the new balance on your previous Statement by the payment due date shown on the statement, then: (1) if you pay the new balance on your current billing statement by the payment due date shown, we impose no interest charges on purchases during the current billing cycle, and (2) if you make a payment by the payment due date shown on your current billing statement that is less than the new balance, we will credit that payment as of the first day in your current billing cycle. In addition, if your Statement reflected a new balance and you did not pay that new balance in full by the payment date on that previous statement, then we will not impose interest charges on any purchases during the current billing cycle if you pay the balance shown on your current Statement by the payment due date reflected on that current statement.
DEFERRAL PERIODS
MetaBank may offer Accounts promotional credit offers. These offers include, but are not limited to, deferred interest offers or reduced payments with deferred interest offers. Special rules apply to these promotional credit offers, which are described at the time of the offer.
  The date, amount and description of each purchase are identified on your periodic statement for the period when you make the purchase.
 
  Each periodic statement contains a summary of all active deferred offers, including unpaid principal balances, any accrued interest charges and the date which the principal balance (New Balance) of each plan must be paid in full to avoid interest charges in connection with your purchase.
 
  For offers with deferred interest, if you pay the deferred portion on or before the last day of the applicable deferred period you pay no interest charges in connection with your purchase. Otherwise, we add a deferred interest charge to your Account on the expiration date.
 
  We figure accrued interest charges each month by multiplying the average daily balance of each deferred balance by the monthly periodic rate.
 
  We do consider all deferred purchases for purposes of determining your available credit.

EXHIBIT E
Bluestem Brands, Inc
Credit Compliance Policy
Section 13.1
Customer Identification Program
Policy Statement
It is the policy of Bluestem Brands, Inc (“Bluestem”) to insure proper adherence Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act regarding the requirement to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person seeking to open a credit account, maintain records of the information used to verify the person’s identity, including name, address and other identifying information, and determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations provided by a government agency and to Bluestem by its partner banks.
The provisions and intent of the USA Patriot Act require Bluestem and its partner banks to implement and maintain identification, documentation, verification, and recordkeeping procedures to ensure:
  i.   compliance with state and federal laws and regulations;
 
  ii.   adherence to safe and sound banking practices;
 
  iii.   decrease risk that Bluestem and/or its partner banks will become victim to illegal activities; and
 
  iv.   protect the reputation and strategic position of Bluestem and its partner banks.
Risk Management
Bluestem, as part of its overall risk management program, reviews each area where risks may present themselves to regulatory customer identification requirements.
Customer Due Diligence
The USA Patriot Act establishes minimum standards regarding the identity of any customer who applies to open a new credit account. Specifically, financial institutions must:
  1.   identify and verify all persons seeking to open a new credit account;
 
  2.   maintain accurate records of such; and
 
  3.   compare presented customer identification with government lists.
Bluestem’s procedures for verifying the true identity of a person are based on Bluestem and its partner banks’ risk assessment presented by the type of account, the various methods of opening an account, and the type of identifying information available. In any instance, though, employees must ensure that a reasonable belief of the true identity of Bluestem customers is obtained.

1


 

Identification information required before opening a new credit account includes all of the following:
  1.   name;
 
  2.   date of birth;
 
  3.   physical/street address, includes:
  a.   army post office (APO) or fleet post office (FPO) box number; or
 
  b.   physical/street address where they can be reached and mail sent to;
  4.   Social Security number.
Procedures for Verification of Identity
For a customer submitting an application in person an unexpired identification which provides evidence of a customer’s nationality or residence and bears a photograph or similar safeguard, such as a driver’s license or passport.
For customers submitting applications over the phone, through direct mail or over the internet, the applicants’ identification must be validated by comparing the information provided with information received from a credit reporting agency, public database or other source. In the event that the information cannot be verified through a credit reporting agency, before opening a new credit account, a person’s identity must be verified through one or more of the following documentary and non-documentary methods:
  1.   unexpired government issued identification;
 
  2.   verification through a public database;
 
  3.   utility bill with the person’s name and address
The specific step by step verification procedures for handing the verification of a person’s information when it cannot be verified through a credit reporting agency are outlined and maintained on the Consumer Credit Compliance Program intranet site. Management of the department with responsibility for account opening is responsible for ensuring their employees are properly trained and adhere to these procedures.
Procedures for Lack of Identity Verification
It is against policy to open or maintain a credit account for a person if the person cannot be properly validated and a reasonable belief is not formed of the true identity of the person. If a person’s identity cannot be verified within specific timeframes provided for in operational procedures, the person is to be notified in writing and the person’s credit application declined.
NOTE: On a case by case basis, in the event of a suspicious situation where a person’s identity cannot be properly verified, a SAR may need to be filed. If this is the case, the Compliance Manager should be contacted for guidance and assistance. The Compliance Manager will subsequently notify the partner bank to report the suspicious activity so the partner bank can determine whether the filing of a SAR is necessary.
Additional Account Opening Procedures
In addition to those listed in this policy, it may be necessary to conduct additional information verification procedures to re-verify the true identity of a customer or the true purpose of a credit

account. In this instance, the Compliance Manager should be contacted for guidance and assistance.
Procedures for Comparing with Government Lists
It is Bluestem’s practice, during the customer identification verification process, to determine whether a person appears on any list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations or any known or suspected drug traffickers or drug trafficking organizations provided by a government agency or by our partner banks. These lists include, but are not limited to, the OFAC and 314(a) lists.
Please also see the Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 11—OFAC Policy and the Bluestem Brands, Inc Credit Compliance Policy Section 12—FinCEN 314(a) List Policy.
Customer Notice Procedures
It is Bluestem’s policy to provide consumers with adequate notice that a partner bank is requesting information to verify their identity. Such notice will be provided to consumers in applicable account disclosures on all direct mail solicitations or electronically via a website. The notices state:
“IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.”
Recordkeeping
It is Bluestem’s policy to retain the following documentation related to the identity verification of customers for a period of 60 months from the date a credit account is closed or become dormant:
  1.   All identifying information provided by a customer after the date the account is closed or becomes dormant;
 
  2.   A description of any document that was relied upon pursuant to this policy that clearly evidences the type of document and identification number it may contain;
 
  3.   A description of the methods and results of any measures undertaken to verify the identity of a customer pursuant to this policy; and
 
  4.   A description of the resolution of any substantive discrepancy discovered when verifying the identifying information obtained.

VIII. STAFF TRAINING
General
It is the responsibility of the appropriate department to ensure that employees receive appropriate training on the Customer Identification Program and the directives of this policy.
All managers are responsible for the complete comprehension of this policy and for verifying their employees understand their responsibilities. The Compliance Manager and/or other designated member of management will periodically attend educational programs related to BSA and CIP.
  5.   If, at any time, an employee is uncertain about the proper handling of a situation or transaction, he or she should refer the issue to their immediate supervisor or contact the Compliance Manager for further guidance.

Bluestem Brands, Inc. (“Bluestem”), its subsidiaries and affiliates (for purposes of this Exhibit E, “Fingerhut”) will act as an agent for MetaBank during underwriting, origination, and servicing phases of the MetaBank/Fingerhut credit program (“Credit Program”).
The Consumer Credit Compliance Program (“Compliance Program”) was developed and implemented by Fingerhut in cooperation with MetaBank to further compliance with laws applicable to the Credit Program.
The Compliance Program is designed to further compliance with the law or regulations named in the applicable policy, specifically:
    Regulation Z/Truth in Lending (12 CFR 226)
 
    Regulation B/Equal Credit Opportunity Act (12 CFR 202)
 
    Fair Credit Reporting Act/FACTA (12 CFR 222 and 15 USC 1681 seq.)
 
    Bank Secrecy Act/USA PATRIOT Act (31 CFR 103 and HR 3162)
 
    Right to Financial Privacy (12 USC 3501)
 
    Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
 
    Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act
 
    Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
 
    Regulation P/Gramm-Leach-Bliley Privacy Act (12 CFR 332)
 
    Regulation AA/FTC Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act (16 CFR 444)
 
    Identity Theft/Red Flags
 
    CAN SPAM/Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)/Do Not Call (DNC)
The Compliance Program encompasses the lending activities of MetaBank for which Fingerhut acts as agent. Monitors are in place across all functional areas of Fingerhut that include a credit component, be it prescreening, underwriting, servicing or collections.
Bluestem’s Legal Services Department monitors changes in applicable laws and regulations, engaging nationally recognized financial services counsel as partners in this effort, and ensures that such changes are reflected in the applicable policies and procedures, subject to Bank’s review and approval.

 


 

Consumer Credit Compliance Program
Bluestem’s Consumer Credit Compliance Program Steering Committee has been authorized by Bluestem’s Executive Team to provide oversight of the development and administration of the Compliance Program. Operating teams from the four main functional areas that include credit components (Customer Service, Credit Operations, Credit Risk and Collections) have day-to-day responsibility for maintaining compliance with internal procedures and monitoring of same.
Bluestem’s Compliance Program is maintained in a written format and is housed on Bluestem’s internal SharePoint system. Access to policies and procedures is available to MetaBank and to all Bluestem employees who require it in order to fulfill their responsibilities under the program.
Monitoring of compliance procedures is incorporated in the normal business activities of each affected area and reported upon monthly. Goals for the monitoring process include the detection of procedural or training deficiencies and the application of corrective action plans where appropriate.
Training
Understanding of the laws which guide the various procedures across Bluestem is an integral part of Bluestem’s “new hire” training. In addition, specialized training is provided to staff who perform functions that are guided by consumer compliance laws, such as Billing Disputes or Collections.
Compliance Procedure Overview
Bluestem Brands, Inc has adopted policies and procedures as an integral part of its Consumer Credit Compliance Program. This section is intended to be illustrative in a summary fashion of certain procedures also constituting part of the Consumer Credit Compliance Program. It is only representative of certain of Bluestem’s procedures and therefore is not a comprehensive index of procedures nor the procedures themselves.
Collections
Collections Support Settlement Procedure
A customer may be offered a settlement if his or her account is two cycles or more past due (66 days or greater excluding charged-off accounts) and the account falls into certain pre-determined behavior score ranges. The first payment must be received within 10 business days of the original offer. The last payment must be received within 60 days of the first payment. The offer is null and void if payments are not received or are returned by a financial institution as unpaid. The account will not be moved to a “Settlement Status” until 30 days after the last payment is received.

 


 

Cease and Desist Requests
When a written request is received via mail from the customer, an attorney representing the customer, or any third party who provides a Power of Attorney signed by the customer, communications from Fingerhut regarding the collection of an account will cease within 48 hours.
Reduced Payment Plans
Fingerhut offers reduced payment plans to customers who experience financial hardships. A qualifying payment amount is a minimum of 2.5% of the account balance. Late fees are not applied while the customer is on the program and the finance charges are reduced.
Reage of Accounts
Customers who have had an account open for a minimum of nine months, are at least 66 days past due and have no open to buy are eligible for Fingerhut’s Re-age Program. Customers are offered a re-age program when they are unable to bring their accounts current through any other means. When on a reage program, the customer must make three qualifying payments, or one single payment equal to the amount of three qualifying payments, in order for the account to reage. An account may be reaged only once in a 12-month period and no more than twice in a five-year period.
Bankruptcy and Deceased Early Charge-Off
Accounts marked as Bankruptcy or Deceased will be charged off 60 days after notification, provided there is a balance and the account is six or more days delinquent.
Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS)
From time to time, customers who are facing financial difficulties will contract with a Consumer Credit Counseling Service (“CCCS”) in an effort to pay their debt. CCCS companies contact Fingerhut with a written proposal for repayment. The payment amount proposed must be at least 3% of the outstanding balance or $15.00, whichever is greater, in order to be accepted. If the account is less than 90 days delinquent, the APR is set at 14.90% and the account is set to “CCCS Retention”. If the account is greater than 90 days delinquent, the APR is set at 9.90% and the account is set to “CCCS Closed”.
Credit Operations
FinCEN Reporting
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) provides biweekly files containing names and addresses (when available) of individuals and business appearing on Specially Designated Terrorist Lists. Bluestem matches the names of individuals against the lists of current credit customers; in the event a name is a match or a potential match, further investigation is completed and the results of the investigation is forwarded to the appropriate banking partner. When a match occurs, the results are grouped based

 


 

on three main matching criteria: a one-to-one match on SSN, a one-to-one match by alias first name/last name, city and ZIP code or a calculated match by address and city. MetaBank performs this task for the Credit Program.
Manual Review Override Authorization (Applicable to Open-End Program Only)
From time to time, requests are made for credit line increases that are outside the normal parameters for the Manual Review Area. In such cases, the request is forwarded to a Supervisor or Manager. Manual Review Supervisors have authority up to $200.00 to approve an account or increase of a credit limit. Manual Review Managers have authority up to $500.00 to approve an account or increase of a credit limit. The Director/Vice President of NCA has authority up to $2000.00 to approve an account or increase of a credit limit. Requests for amounts greater than $2000.00 are referred to the head of Risk Management.
Credit Risk
Modeling Variable Restrictions
The following attributes are not to be included in the development or usage of any credit statistical models: age, gender, religion, language preference, nationality, state of residence, the fact that all or part of the applicant’s income derives from a public assistance program, the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (or any other fields that could directly or indirectly cause redlining), marital status or medical condition. All credit statistical models will be reviewed by the Model Review Committee.
GLB Annual Notifications
On an annual basis (defined as within a 12-month period), Privacy Notices are provided to all account holders required to receive such notices. Account holders exempt from notification include all zero balance closed accounts, charged off/closed, bankrupt and deceased accounts. Account holders are provided the right and the ability to opt out of information sharing as per the Fingerhut Privacy Policy, and are provided a form and mailing address on the privacy notification.
Credit Bureau Reporting
On behalf of MetaBank, Fingerhut reports information on credit accounts on a monthly basis to both Equifax and TransUnion. The extract file developed for reporting purposes conforms to the standard Metro 2 credit reporting format. Customer Service and Collections Support have separate operational procedures in order to comply with reporting requirements and any subsequent customer inquiries. Collections Support is responsible for handling all credit bureau disputes.

 


 

Portfolio Reviews
On a quarterly basis, Fingerhut, on behalf of MetaBank, obtains an updated read on the credit bureau attributes of selected accounts. A representative of the Credit Risk team runs a SAS program to determine which customers satisfy the criteria in place to generate a review. This group of customers is then compared to a file constructed by IT using the same criteria, and if the comparison is acceptable, the file is sent to the credit bureau. Upon receipt of the updated information for the reviewed customers, Credit Risk verifies that the customers returned are the same as those sent out and that the attributes returned are reasonable.
Real Time Authorizations (Applicable to Open-End Program only)
This fully automated process provides guidelines and logic for making purchase authorization decisions at the point of sale. It includes decisioning for Overlimit Authorizations and High Risk declines. At each purchase attempt, accounts satisfying all other criteria to approve the purchase except sufficient available credit are subject to “OTB logic”, which uses preset parameters to make an authorization decision. If the purchase passes the OTB Logic, the authorization is approved. No overlimit fees are assessed. If the purchase does not pass the OTB Logic, the authorization is declined. In addition, at each purchase attempt, accounts satisfying all other criteria that would approve the purchase are analyzed in real time to assess the risk of the purchase. If the purchase meets the high-end threshold in terms of defining the risk the account will become seriously delinquent within the next 12 months, the purchase authorization is declined and the credit limit is reduced to balance. The customer is sent an adverse action letter which provides the reasons for the declination.
Credit Line Increase Program (Applicable to Open-End Program only)
On a monthly basis, Fingerhut, on behalf of MetaBank, executes an automated credit limit increase program for accounts with demonstrated payment capacity and low risk. The credit limit increase is not run in January or July so as not to interfere with the Portfolio Review process. The credit limit increase process utilizes three unique sets of logic to determine which accounts qualify. Two types of increases are given to customers: permanent and temporary. Temporary line increases generally have an expiration date of 90 days. However, if a customer utilizes all or part of the temporary line increase, their limit will remain increased by the amount of utilization even after the expiration date.
Credit Line Decrease Due to Delinquency (Applicable to Open-End Program only)
At the end of each billing cycle, accounts meeting pre-set conditions are systematically reviewed for a decrease in the credit limit. With the conditions met, actions are taken based upon the number of days delinquent. Limits on accounts with a 60-89 day delinquency status are reduced to balance and rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The credit limit will not be reduced below $100.00. Limits on accounts with a 90+ day delinquency status are reduced to zero. No action is taken for purposes of this procedure

 


 

on accounts that are less than 60 days delinquent.
Customer Service
Billing Disputes (Applicable to Open-End Program only)
In the event a customer has a dispute as defined in the Truth-in-Lending Act and notifies Fingerhut no later than 60 days after the first billing statement on which the disputed information appears, Fingerhut will investigate and resolve the dispute within the timeframes as specified in the Truth-in-Lending Act. During the period in which the dispute is being investigated, the amount in dispute will be suspended from the accrual of finance charges, billing and, in some cases, collection. All notification to the customer regarding the receipt, investigation and resolution of the dispute will be sent within the timeframes as specified in the Truth-in-Lending Act.
Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act
Upon the request of a customer who is enlisted in the Armed Services (as defined by the SCRA), and when accompanied by copies of the customer’s active duty orders, FDM will reduce the interest rate to 6% on that portion of the account balance incurred prior to the customer’s call to active duty. Within 30-60 days prior to the release of the customer from active duty, Fingerhut will send notification to the customer that their protection under SCRA is due to expire and request further documentation in the event the customer’s active duty has been extended. Protection under the SCRA will terminate within 30 to 90 days after the customer’s discharge from active duty. As a courtesy to customers on active duty, and upon appropriate verification, Fingerhut will accept requests for protection and information regarding deployment from a servicemembers’ spouse.

Bluestem Brands, Inc
Credit Compliance Policy
Section 4.2
Bank Secrecy Act
I. PURPOSE
The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and related laws and regulations require financial institutions and their servicers to take reasonable steps to verify the identity of their customers, monitor and report certain currency, suspicious and foreign transactions, and maintain specific records. These steps require financial institutions to keep records that provide documentation that law enforcement can utilize and provide penalties for individuals and entities attempting to avoid these requirements.
II. POLICY DESCRIPTION, AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
Description and Authority
This policy is a general statement of Bluestem Brands, Inc’s (“Bluestem”) objectives, direction and expectations regarding the BSA. As such, it is the authority, basis and platform for the development, communication, implementation, interpretation and enforcement of appropriate and applicable operating procedures.
It is the policy of Bluestem to comply with all provisions of the BSA. All employees must comply with this policy and all steps necessary are taken to ensure that proper adherence to the laws and regulations can be met.
Enforcement
Changes to this policy require approval by the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee. Changes in operating procedures, standards, guidelines, and technologies, provided they are consistent with this policy, may be authorized by the Consumer Credit Compliance Operating Team for the affected department and its representative on the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and the Compliance Manager.
The Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee will approve this policy annually. It is responsible for ensuring the directives are implemented and administered in compliance with the approved policy. The primary responsibility for enforcement of this policy and its operating procedures rests with Bluestem employees.

1


 

No part of this policy or its supporting operating procedures should be interpreted as contravening or superseding any other legal and regulatory requirements. Protective measures should not impede other legally mandated processes such as records retention or subpoenas. Any conflicts should immediately be submitted to the Compliance Manager for further evaluation and/or subsequent submission to the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee.
Exceptions to Policy
There are no exceptions to the Bluestem BSA Policy. If unique circumstances exist that may require special handling, requests for this special handling must be very specific and apply only to specific terms or items, rather than entire sections of the policy. Employees with special handling requests are to communicate their requests by submitting them in writing to the Compliance Manager for consideration by the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and/or senior management.
III. RISK MANAGEMENT
General
Bluestem realizes that the potential for risk exists in an ever changing environment, and in response, has developed and implemented this comprehensive risk-based BSA, anti-money laundering (“AML”) program. This program is designed to mitigate risks associated with Bluestem’s partner banks and the geographies, customers, products, services, and the nature of Bluestem’s operations. This program provides for policies and procedures, and the assignment of designated employees responsible for monitoring day to day compliance.
The nature of the business conducted by Bluestem does not generally provide exposure to a high risk of BSA or AML issues and past history demonstrates that Bluestem has a low risk of BSA or AML violations. Nevertheless, Bluestem has committed to establishing strong internal controls, processes, policies, and procedures to maintain compliance in all areas.
IV. CURRENCY TRANSACTION REPORTING
General
Federal law and regulation requires financial institutions to report every cash transaction by a customer (unless the customer is specifically exempted) in excess of $10,000 to the Internal Revenue Service on a Currency Transaction Report within 15 days of the transaction. However, since it is the policy of Bluestem to not accept any cash payments, this requirement is not relevant to Bluestem’s business.
If at any time Bluestem receives an unsolicited cash payment, the payment is to be reported to the Payment Processing Manager, who is then required to report the cash payment to the Compliance Manager.
V. REPORT OF CRIMES AND SUSPECTED CRIMES
General
The FDIC’s rules and regulations require insured banks to make prompt and systematic reports of crimes and attempted crimes to law enforcement authorities. This responsibility covers any known, attempted, or suspected crimes involving or affecting the assets or affairs of insured banks. As a servicer on behalf of Bluestem’s partner banks, it is the policy of Bluestem to

2


 

comply with rules and regulations of the applicable regulator as required by Bluestem’s partner banks.
Suspicious activity and crimes can be identified in a wide variety of forms that may indicate money laundering or other illegal activity. However, as activity may appear suspicious, it may only require enhanced scrutiny. Examples of activity that may require enhanced scrutiny include, but are not limited to:
  1.   activity inconsistent with a customer’s prior history;
 
  2.   unusual characteristics of a customer;
 
  3.   unusual or inconsistent payment activity
 
  4.   unusual or inconsistent account purchase activity; or
 
  5.   a consumer provides inconsistent, incomplete, insufficient or suspicious information when requested to comply with the information requirements of Bluestem’ s Customer Identification Program. (see Credit Compliance Policy Section 13, “Customer Identification Program”)
Examples of suspicious activity that must be reported include, but are not limited to:
  1.   any BSA violation (ex. structuring or money laundering);
 
  2.   bribery or gratuity;
 
  3.   check fraud;
 
  4.   computer intrusion;
 
  5.   loan fraud;
 
  6.   counterfeit credit card;
 
  7.   counterfeit payment instrument;
 
  8.   credit card fraud;
 
  9.   employee defalcation or embezzlement;
 
  10.   identity theft;
 
  11.   misuse of position or self dealing;
 
  12.   mysterious disappearance;
 
  13.   terrorist financing;
 
  14.   wire transfer fraud.
Suspicious Activity Reports
The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), along with bank regulatory agencies, has adopted the Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”). All banks are required to file a SAR for any matter that they have basis to believe is a known or suspected violation of federal criminal law. As a servicer on behalf of its partner banks, it is the policy of Bluestem to comply with FinCEN rules as required by its partner banks.
Examples of incidents that require a bank to file a SAR include but are not limited to:
  1.   Known or suspected violations of federal criminal law by one of Bluestem’s directors, officers, employees, agents or other affiliated parties that may have committed or aided in the commission of the violation;
 
  2.   Known or suspected violations of federal criminal law involving or aggregating $5000 or more and there is substantial basis for identifying a possible suspect or group of suspects;

3


 

  3.   Known or suspected violation of federal criminal law involving or aggregating $25,000 or more and there is no substantial basis for indentifying a possible suspect or group of suspects;
 
  4.   Transactions involving or aggregating $5000 or more that involve potential money laundering or violations of the BSA.
NOTE: Bluestem will notify its partner bank in the event of a robbery or burglary, but no SAR is required to be filed if the robbery or burglary is reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
In the event Bluestem identifies a known or suspected violation of federal criminal law as described above, Bluestem will immediately notify its affected partner bank so that the bank may file a SAR. A SAR must be filed within 30 calendar days after the date of initial detection of the facts that constitute the basis for filing a SAR. If no suspect was identified on the date of detection of the incident requiring filing, the bank may delay filing the SAR for an additional 30 calendar days to identify a suspect. In no case shall reporting be delayed more than 60 calendar days after the date of initial detection of a reportable incident.
To the best of its ability, Bluestem will provide its partner bank the following information so that the bank may file a SAR:
  1.   who conducted the transaction;
 
  2.   what instrument or instruments facilitated the suspicious activity;
 
  3.   when the suspicious activity occurred;
 
  4.   where the suspicious activity took place;
 
  5.   why Bluestem believes the activity is suspicious;
 
  6.   how the suspicious activity occurred; and
 
  7.   any documentation that supports the filing of the SAR.
A SAR is confidential. If Bluestem is subpoenaed or otherwise requested to disclose any information regarding a SAR or the information contained in a SAR, Bluestem will decline to provide any information that would disclose that a SAR has been filed. Any such requests should be immediately forwarded to the Compliance Manager for handling. Bluestem will also notify its partner bank so that they may notify the appropriate regulatory agency of the request.
Employee Reporting of Suspicious Activity
Any Bluestem employee detecting a violation of federal criminal law or who has a suspicion that a violation of federal criminal law has as occurred is to report their suspicions. Employees may report suspicious currency transactions or other activities to the Compliance Manager.
The identity of the employee reporting the incident may remain anonymous.
VI. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
Policy Statement

4


 

It is the policy of Bluestem to ensure proper adherence to the provisions and intent of the USA Patriot Act regarding the requirement to implement reasonable procedures to deter money laundering activities and actively search for suspicious activity.
This policy is a general statement of Bluestem’s objectives, direction and expectations regarding Bluestem’s anti-money laundering (“AML”) programs. As such, it is the authority, basis and platform for the development, communication, implementation, interpretation and enforcement of appropriate and applicable operating procedures.
Changes to this policy require approval by the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee. Changes in operating procedures, standards, guidelines and technologies, provided they are consistent with this policy, may be authorized by the Consumer Credit Compliance Operating Team for the affected department and its representative on the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and the Compliance Manager. The Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee is responsible for ensuring the directives are implemented and administered in compliance with the policy. The primary responsibility for enforcement of this policy and its operating procedures lies with the Consumer Credit Compliance Steering Committee and Bluestem employees.
General
Money laundering means any activity criminalized by 18 USC 1956 or 1957. Money is ‘laundered’ to conceal all types of criminal activity. It is driven by the need to conceal the true source of funds, and becomes necessary when the amount of money is so large that the criminal or criminal organization cannot reasonably absorb it into their lifestyle or business.
Money laundering, through often a complex process, generally consists of three independent steps that often occur at once:
  1.   Placement. This involves illegal money in bank, in a non-bank financial institution, in the general domestic economy, or in a foreign economy. Some examples of placing money are listed below.
  A.   Structuring/Smurfing. This involves the structuring of cash, monetary instruments, or exchanges of small bills for larger denominations to avoid currency transaction report reporting requirements.
 
  B.   Bank Complicity. This occurs when bank staff, from front line operational employees to executives, are bribed by criminals or when entire institutions are controlled by criminals.
 
  C.   Misuse of BSA Exemption Lists. This occurs when banks or non-bank financial institutions do not follow BSA rules for reviewing accounts and maintaining an active “Know Your Customer” policy and grant exceptions from BSA reviews.
 
  D.   Creation of False BSA Trails. This occurs when documents are falsified to disguise the true source, ownership, location or controls over illegal money.
  2.   Layering. This means separating the illegal money from the source through layers of complex financial transactions. If the placement of money is undetected, the money laundering activities are even more difficult to uncover. The confusing complicated ways in which layer after layer of activities and transactions are piled on

5


 

      top of one another are intended to make tracing of funds impossible to law enforcement.
  3.   Integration. This provides an apparently legitimate explanation for the illegal money. This is the final stage in the process of money laundering where the “cleansed” money is integrated into the economy providing the appearance that the funds were legally obtained.
Risk Analysis. Detection and Monitoring
Due to the nature of the business of Bluestem and the programs serviced on behalf of its partner banks, Bluestem’s customer base is considered low risk for money laundering activities. It is considered low risk because Bluestem offers and services only low credit line credit card’s to individual consumers, not businesses, and provide no high risk banking functions or transactions such as private banking, trust, offshore internal activity, deposit taking facilities, international correspondent banking, cash management functions, trade financing, or transactions involving large amounts of traveler’s checks, official bank checks, money orders and stored value cards. However, Bluestem has implemented reasonable procedures to deter money laundering activities and actively search for suspicious activity. Bluestem has determined the appropriate due diligence procedures to be applied to consumers when initiating a relationship or continuing a relationship. For these risk analysis strategies, refer to the Report of Crimes and Suspected Crimes section and the Customer Identification Program Policy.
If any employee of Bluestem suspects or identifies money laundering activities, they are to report it to the Compliance Manager.
Penalties
Individuals, including employees of financial institutions, convicted of money laundering may face up to 20 years in prison for each money laundering transaction. Any money or any property traceable to proceeds from criminal activity, including loan collateral, personal property, bank accounts (even if a portion of the funds in the accounts is legitimate) may be subject to forfeiture. In addition, banks risk losing their charter and their employees risk being removed and barred from future employment in the financial sector.
VII. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER
General
It is the intent of Bluestem to have a clear and concise understanding of customer practices in order to avoid criminal exposure by any customer who would use its resources or its partner bank’s resources for illegal purposes. The objective of this policy is to ensure the immediate detection and identification of suspicious activity. Accordingly, it is the policy of Bluestem to incorporate the following into our business practices:
  1.   Bluestem will make a reasonable effort to determine the true identity of all customers;
 
  2.   Bluestem will make a reasonable effort to identify the true ownership of all accounts;
 
  3.   Employees of Bluestem will make a reasonable effort to be aware of any unusual transaction activity.
As a general rule, Bluestem will not establish a business relationship until the identity of a potential customer is satisfactorily established. If a potential customer refuses to produce any requested verification documentation, the relationship will not be established. The Customer

6


 

Identification Program Policy provides an overview of general principles to follow in establishing customer relationships.
Consumer Credit Accounts
No consumer credit account will be opened without capturing the following information and conducting the following procedures, including, but not limited to:
  1.   Valid Social Security number
 
  2.   Physical Address
 
  3.   Date of Birth
 
  4.   Confirmation of a credit bureau match
Commercial Credit Accounts
Bluestem does not offer or service commercial accounts.
VIII. STAFF TRAINING
General
It is the responsibility of the appropriate department to ensure that employees receive appropriate training on the Customer Identification Program and the directives of this policy.
All managers are responsible for the complete comprehension of this policy and for verifying their employees understand their responsibilities. The Compliance Manager and/or other designated member of management will periodically attend educational programs related to BSA and CIP.
If, at any time, an employee is uncertain about the proper handling of a situation or transaction, he or she should refer the issue to their immediate supervisor or contact the Compliance Manager for further guidance.
IX. RETENTION OF RECORDS
It is the policy to retain the following items for a period of at least five years:
  1.   Currency Transaction Reports (it is policy to not accept cash payments)
 
  2.   Customer Identification Records
 
  3.   Documents related to a Suspicious Activity Report
 
  4.   Evidence of 314(s) Searches
 
  5.   Evidence of OFAC Searches
 
  6.   Account Statements Showing Individual Transaction Activity
 
  7.   Records containing the name, address and SSN of customer
