Fidelity Credit Card Development Context
� Prior to the program relaunch, Fidelity worked with Partner Advisors to identify how the
card program could work harder to deliver on its overall retail strategy. Fidelity focused
on leveraging the credit card program to deepen customer relationships and grow
assets.
� In partnership with FIA Card Services and FIA’s relationships with American Express and
Visa, the newly developed products were designed to meet those objectives and
customer needs.
� The program’s new account acquisition success has been a function of the contextually
relevant manner in which “automated savings” has been marketed across channels.
� Fidelity’s evolving cash management strategy has increased the importance of offering
the credit card as a key component of the cash management “ecosystem.”
� Response to acquisition marketing as well as portfolio performance indicates that
customers see the value in the Fidelity credit cards and tend to use them as their top-of-
wallet form of payment.

3The Fidelity® Cash Management Account's uninvested cash balance is swept to one or more program banks where it earns a variable rate of interest and is eligible for FDIC insurance. At a minimum, there are three banks available to accept these deposits, making customers eligible for nearly $750,000 of FDIC insurance. If the number of available banks changes, or you elect not to use, and/or have existing assets at, one or more of the available banks, the actual amount could be higher or lower. For more information on FDIC insurance coverage, please visit www.FDIC.gov. Customers are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each of the Program Banks to determine the extent of available FDIC insurance coverage in accordance with FDIC rules. Refer to the FDIC-Insured Cash (Core) Disclosure Statement and list of eligible Program Banks for details. The deposits at Program Banks are not covered by SIPC.
