💳💡 CREDIT TIP: PAY BEFORE YOUR STATEMENT CLOSE DATE!
Want to help keep your reported credit card utilization lower? Don’t wait until the due date. Paying down your balance before the statement closing date may help reduce the balance that gets reported to the credit bureaus.
✅ Keep utilization low
✅ Avoid carrying high reported balances
✅ Stay consistent with on-time payments
📈 Give your credit profile a better chance to grow
Remember: Your Due Date and Statement Close Date are two different dates—and knowing the difference can make a big difference in how you manage your credit.
