It’s a healthy habit to manage your finances responsibly, including paying off your credit card statement in full and on time. This doesn’t only help you build credit, but it also helps you avoid any interest fees.
Being extra careful sometimes puts us in an inconvenient position. For instance, you may end up overpaying your credit card in error and not have realized it until your credit account balance falls below zero.
Should you pay more than you owe on your credit card next time? And what can you do to stop overpaying in the future?
You own the credit balance
If you notice that your credit account shows a negative total balance, then it means that you have a credit balance on your credit account.
Options for your overpayment
Use your credit balance for future purchases
You can use your credit balance towards your future purchases without incurring any penalties or interest fees.
