Credit Card Delinquencies Rise

Share via

The number of U.S. consumers who paid their credit card bills more than 30 days late rose in the second quarter to the highest level in a year, according to the American Bankers Assn.

Credit card delinquencies rose to 3.91% from April to June. That compares with 3.88% in the first three months and was the highest since the second quarter of last year, when the rate was 3.93%.

The rise “reflects the avalanche of layoffs over the past year and a half,” ABA chief economist James Chessen said.
