Use carefully

Use current borrower-facing KHC materials over stale legacy flyers

This page stays public because the official structure is still useful, but these details should not be flattened into fake certainty.

Regular DAP is detail-safe, but KHC still hosts older temporary-increase flyers and much older legacy cards. Public copy should use the current borrower page, current FAQ, and current DAP grid for the live $12,500 / 4.75% / 15-year terms.

Source note: Older KHC-hosted flyers and training materials still preserve earlier $10,000, $7,500, or temporary-increase wording, while the current borrower page, current FAQ, current grid, and current homepage all point to the live permanently increased $12,500 structure.
