Statement date and payment due date
結單日與到期還款日
The statement date is the day the issuer closes a billing period and produces the statement. The payment due date is the deadline for paying: paying at least the minimum keeps the account from being late, and paying the full balance usually means no interest. Spending posted after the statement date goes on the next statement, and its deadline moves with it.
Example
Suppose the statement date is the 5th of each month and the due date is the 25th.
- Statement date
- 5th of each month
- Payment due date
- 25th of each month
- Spending posted on the 4th
- On this statement, pay by the 25th
- Spending posted on the 6th
- On the next statement, pay by the 25th of next month
Two purchases two days apart can have deadlines a month apart.
