Credit Application Form

The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age; (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract) because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, D.C. 20580.

If your application for business credit is denied, you have the right to a written statement of the specific reasons for the denial. To obtain the statement, please contact BNSFCreditDept@bnsf.com within 60 days from the date you are notified of our decision. We will send you a written statement of reasons for the denial within 30 days of receiving your request for the statement.

Prior to your first shipment, you must complete a credit application that may take up to 24 hours to process.

Upon completion and submission of this credit application, applicant agrees to make payments within BNSF standard 15-day credit terms for Carload freight charges (7 days for Intermodal) and 30 days for miscellaneous charges (7 days for Intermodal). Applicant also understands BNSF Railway will assess a finance charge of .033% per day (12% per annum) on all freight and miscellaneous charges, including demurrage, which are paid beyond our credit terms.

For Intermodal Storage do not complete the credit application form. Please register at BNSF.com Registration. During the registration process answer "yes" to the question "Will you be managing or guaranteeing storage charges?" This will generate a request to guarantee storage online. After your registration is approved someone will contact you about the request.
