HOW TO READ YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT?

 * Know more Know more


DECODE YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT

Know what the different sections of your credit card statement mean and how you
can benefit from them.


DECODING THE CREDIT CARD STATEMENT





Keeping track of your credit card details directly affects your credit score. To
manage your credit better, a good understanding of the credit card statement is
absolutely necessary. In the statement that is sent monthly to your inbox, you
will find details of your credit card spends, repayments and fees. However, many
people find reading statements quite confusing due to several complex
components. To enable you to understand these better, we have listed some key
features that you need to focus on when reading your credit card statement:




STATEMENT PERIOD



In the case of most credit card statements, the period of the report is
mentioned at the top right-hand corner. Here, you can also find out the exact
number and period of your credit card’s interest-free days. Interest-free days
mean the allocated period of time in the billing cycle of your credit card,
during which no interest is charged on the purchases. With its knowledge, it is
possible to buy products using a credit card without having to pay any interest
on it.




DUE DATE FOR PAYMENT





The due date by which you need to make at least the minimum payment is also
usually mentioned at the top right-hand corner of the statement. While you are
free to make the payment before the due date, failure of payment post the due
date attracts a late-payment fine and interest on the outstanding amount.




MINIMUM AMOUNT DUE





This is the minimum amount you need to pay in the month to avoid going
delinquent. Going delinquent or being late in payment can create a negative
impact on your credit history, besides, depending on the duration, type and
cause of delinquency, your bank may penalise you with interest on the
outstanding amount as well as late payment fines

The minimum amount payable could vary every month depending on your credit card
purchases. It is approximately 5% of the total outstanding balance. However,
this amount may vary from one bank to the other. Paying less than the minimum
amount could result in fines. However, it is advised that you make payments
above the minimum balance whenever possible.




OVERDUE AMOUNT



If you have not paid the minimum due amount for a month or more than that, then
the total amount that you are liable to pay will be reflected in the ‘overdue’
section of your credit card statement. The longer the duration of the overdue
account, higher will be the late fee levied. It also impacts your credit score
negatively, which may affect your future credit card or loan requests.




CLOSING BALANCE





This is the total amount that you owe to the credit card account. If you happen
to pay more than the amount that you owe, then the figure should be in negative,
which means that this amount will be adjusted on your next credit card purchase.
There are many advantages of paying the full amount every month which includes
benefits like avoiding interest payment on the balance amount (total – minimum
amount) and enjoying increased number of interest-free days for future
purchases, among others.

Apart from these, there are also other important sections that you should
closely track. These include sections like payments/refunds, new charges,
transactions, daily rates, reward points, etc. This will give you a clear idea
of your overall credit card record. Standard Chartered gives you the freedom to
access credit card statements dating back up to 2 years. Additionally, it also
allows easy and secure online credit card payment. Click here to make your
