It’s important to be smart about managing the money you borrow. Take the time to develop good credit habits and you’ll be able to fully enjoy what a credit card can do for you.

Smart Tips

Pay off your credit card monthly.
By paying your entire bill monthly on or before the due date, you avoid carrying a balance from month to month, and you will not incur interest charges on purchases. If you do not make your full payment, interest on your unpaid balance will be calculated on a daily basis.

Use your credit card for budgeted purchases.
Use your credit card for planned purchases. Make purchases that fit into your monthly budget, and avoid making impulse buys.

Review your statement monthly.
Make sure that all the charges on it are for purchases you made. This will help you monitor your spending and avoid fraud.

Don’t underestimate the impact of late payments.

Late payments may result in higher interest rates and will affect your credit rating. You can protect your credit rating by ensuring your monthly or minimum monthly credit card payments are always made on time by setting up a Pre-authorized Payment Plan.


Avoid cash withdrawals.
They are charged interest from the day you withdraw cash and are not given any grace period like purchases.

Smart uses of your credit card

Spend with confidence.
Credit cards offer the freedom of cash with better security and the ability to track monthly expenses, but remember every time you use your credit card to make a purchase, you’re borrowing money.

Travel.
Leave the cash at home, knowing you’ve got the latest in credit card security working for you, no matter where you visit.

Planning for your future.
Having a well-managed credit card is a great way to build your credit history. Down the road, how you have managed your credit cards can impact your request for a personal loan or mortgage.
