See what a statement leaves out
See today’s money instead of last month’s.
A statement covers one month and is printed after that month ended. The app shows the account as it stands right now.
It also holds what paper never had: a search box, and every charge with the store’s real name.
Key points
- A statement covers a month that has already ended
- The app shows the account as it stands today, and can be searched
What to remember
- Paper is already a month old the day it prints.
- The app is now. A statement is a month ago.
Try this
Open your bank’s app and find the most recent line on your account. Notice how few hours old it is.
