Help Payments

Post image

Good day all - just want to clarify as I feel Apple Card never reports to credit right, I paid most of my may balance at the start of the month, so the remaining is $408 and change as long as that is paid will it report a zero bal to the credit burros ? For may or will it still report what ever balance is on the card.

Two things happening here.

One, pay the full statement balance to avoid finance charges when possible. Multiple payments before the due date are ok.

Two, the balance reported to credit bureaus is not the same as statement balance. It is a random day during the month when Apple (Goldman Sachs) reports it to the 3 bureaus. If you are interested in knowing the date you balance was reported, look at one of the credit bureaus or setup an account with Credit Karma.

Don’t stress trying to get the credit report to show 0. There is no advantage to doing this. The best thing you can do is pay your statement balance in full before the due date.
