Statement closing date

[surfnspy]

My card statement says:

Your next statement will close on 09/23/2012.

Is that the day balances (if any) are reported?

Thank you!

That depends on the credit card issuer, but generally I would say yes.

For example my US Bank statement cuts on the 15th and if I owe a balance it shows on the statement they mail me.

 But if I pay off the balance before the end of the month even though I had a balance on my statement, they report a zero balance to the CB.

Thank you I should have been more specific. The issuer is Barclays if that helps.

Yup that date they list is the statement closing date. You have until 7pm EST to pay any balance off if you don't want it to report.
