Get Answers to Your Banking Questions

My bank increased the minimum payment on my credit card account. What should I do if I can’t afford it?

If you cannot afford the increase, you should contact your bank right away to discuss your specific situation and explore options that may be available to you.

If you are suffering financial hardship as a result of COVID-19, please reference the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's FAQs regarding COVID-19.
