Paying in Full each month 20 June 2018 at 10:32AM edited 30 November -1 at 1:00AM in Credit Cards 2 replies 690 views

I have a couple of cards for building credit and pay in full each month, however, I'm curious as to whether or not it makes a difference to pay off a transaction same day/couple of days later, or is it better to pay the full amount at once whenever the statement is generated?

Wait for the statement and then clear in full so that lenders can see you use the card.

Mine are set up to have the full amount paid by direct debit. Just in case it gets lost in the post or I forget it.
