Your lender prints this number on your monthly statement. It covers purchases, draws, fees, and interest from the billing period. The statement balance stays fixed once the cycle closes. Today&#8217;s running total is your current balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-your-statement-balance-includes\">What Your Statement Balance Includes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A statement balance usually adds up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Purchases or draws made during the billing cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interest charged on the prior balance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fees, such as late or returned payment fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any unpaid balance carried from the last cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Credits or refunds applied during the cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The total prints on the statement and stays the same once the cycle closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-statement-balance-vs-current-balance\">Statement Balance vs. Current Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement balance is a snapshot from one date, the end of your billing cycle. Your current balance is the running total today. New charges or payments after the close date make the current balance different. Both numbers usually appear in your account portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-your-statement-balance-matters\">Why Your Statement Balance Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your statement balance is the number used to set your minimum payment. It is also the figure most credit reporting reflects when a balance carries from one cycle to the next. Paying the statement balance in full by the due date helps avoid interest charges on a credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-statement-balance-on-a-lendnation-line-of-credit\">Statement Balance on a LendNation Line of Credit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a LendNation Line of Credit, your statement balance shows what you owe at the close of the cycle. Lines of Credit are only offered in Alabama (returning customers only), Kansas, and Tennessee. The statement lists your minimum payment, due date, and any fees from the cycle. For exact terms in your state, check your state page on <a href=\"http:\/\/lendnation.com\">lendnation.com<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A statement balance is the amount printed on your billing statement at the end of a cycle. It is not always the same as what you owe today, since charges and payments after the close date are not part of the total. Knowing this number helps you plan payments and avoid extra interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re exploring your options, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/apply\/\">apply online<\/a> or visit a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/locations\/\">LendNation store near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-40\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignfull p-cta p-cta--two-column is-style-theme-dark is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-50\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull l-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-display-font-size\" id=\"h-open-a-lendnation-account-today-apply-online-or-in-store\" style=\"margin-top:0\">Open a LendNation Account Today -Apply online or in-store!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/apply\/\">Apply Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lendnation.com\/location\">Find a Store<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-outermost-icon-block items-justified-right\"><div class=\"icon-container has-icon-color has-backgrounds-default-light-color\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;width:100%;transform:rotate(0deg) scaleX(1) scaleY(1)\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3.25 12a8.75 8.75 0 1117.5 0 8.75 8.75 0 01-17.5 0zM12 4.75a7.25 7.25 0 100 14.5 7.25 7.25 0 000-14.5zm-1.338 4.877c-.314.22-.412.452-.412.623 0 .171.098.403.412.623.312.218.783.377 1.338.377.825 0 1.605.233 2.198.648.59.414 1.052 1.057 1.052 1.852 0 .795-.461 1.438-1.052 1.852-.41.286-.907.486-1.448.582v.316a.75.75 0 01-1.5 0v-.316a3.64 3.64 0 01-1.448-.582c-.59-.414-1.052-1.057-1.052-1.852a.75.75 0 011.5 0c0 .171.098.403.412.623.312.218.783.377 1.338.377s1.026-.159 1.338-.377c.314-.22.412-.452.412-.623 0-.171-.098-.403-.412-.623-.312-.218-.783-.377-1.338-.377-.825 0-1.605-.233-2.198-.648-.59-.414-1.052-1.057-1.052-1.852 0-.795.461-1.438 1.052-1.852a3.64 3.64 0 011.448-.582V7.5a.75.75 0 011.5 0v.316c.54.096 1.039.296 1.448.582.59.414 1.052 1.057 1.052 1.852a.75.75 0 01-1.5 0c0-.171-.098-.403-.412-.623-.312-.218-.783-.377-1.338-.377s-1.026.159-1.338.377z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-50\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><\/h3>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacing-50\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11873","wiki","type-wiki","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Is a Statement Balance?
