Question:
What is the difference between the "statement date" and the "payment due date" on my credit card statement?
Answer:
The statement date is the last day on which transactions can be posted to your account for that statement.
The payment due date is the date by which the institution that issued your credit card must receive your payment without incurring late fees or other penalties. Consumers should consider the time it may take for a payment to reach the intended institution and the time it may take to process the payment.
