(a)  Allfirst has reclassified certain categories of income and costs.
     Network service fees and VISA(R) royalties, previously shown as
     cost items, are now offset against the associated revenue and
     shown as noninterest income. A new category titled electronic
     banking income captures ATM fees, surcharge revenue and
     interchange income from VISA(R) debit card transactions.
     Previously ATM fees were presented with deposit service charges
     and debit card income was presented with credit card income. All
     comparatives have been restated accordingly.

(a) Allfirst has reclassified certain categories of income and costs.

Network service fees and VISA See VESA. (R) royalties Not to be confused with Royal family.

Royalties (sometimes, running royalties) are usage-based payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing use of an asset, most typically an intellectual property (IP) right.
, previously shown as

cost items, are now offset against the associated revenue and

shown as noninterest income. A new category titled electronic

banking income captures ATM fees, surcharge An overcharge or additional cost.

A surcharge is an added liability imposed on something that is already due, such as a tax on tax. It also refers to the penalty a court can impose on a fiduciary for breaching a duty.
 revenue and

interchange An interchange is a location where two things meet, usually perform some kind of exchange, and possibly go on their ways again. It is most commonly used in four contexts:
  • Transportation:
 income from VISA(R) debit card transactions.

Previously ATM fees were presented with deposit service charges

and debit card income was presented with credit card income. All

comparatives have been restated accordingly.
