Credit Card Statement Balance vs. Minimum Balance

Pull up your credit card statement and you will see that there are different balances listed. The statement balance (AKA the closing balance or ending balance) is the amount that needs to be paid in FULL by the DUE DATE to avoid interest charges.

The minimum balance due is the amount you have to pay by the due date, in order to keep your credit in good standing. Any amount left unpaid beyond the minimum balance, will be charged interest.

Debit Card vs. Credit Card! It's interesting how many individuals have never been taught the difference between the 2.

A credit card allows you to make purchases with borrowed money, that you must pay back either in full each month or overtime with interest.

Any charge you make during your billing cycle is added to your previous balance which will determine your statement balance minus any payments.

On the other hand, a debit card allows you to spend money by using funds you have in your checking or savings accounts and can be used to withdraw cash, make purchases and/or pay bills.

Debit cards have no interest fees attached to them and won't affect your credit score. However, if your account doesn't have enough funds to cover a purchase, the bank will decline the transaction or charge you overdraft fees.

To protect your tax and financial information online, only provide personal information over encrypted websites. If you’re shopping or banking online, stick to sites that use encryption to protect your information as it travels from your computer to their server. To determine if a website is encrypted, look for “https” at the beginning of the web address (the “s” is for secure). Some websites use encryption only on the sign-in page, but if any part of your session isn’t encrypted, the entire account and your financial information could be vulnerable. Look for https on every page of the site you’re on, not just when you sign in. (Source: IRS)
