A credit card statement is a summary of the expenditures made in a particular billing cycle, the payment due date, the minimum payment due, credit and cash limit available, reward point summary. The credit card issuer will send your monthly credit card statement at least 15 days before your credit card payment due date. This will help you manage your finances more effectively.
Things you should look in credit card statement
1.) Total Dues – Look at the total amount you owe. This includes all the purchases you’ve made during the billing cycle plus any previous unpaid amounts.
2.) Important Dates – Check the payment due date (the last date to pay without penalties) and the statement date (the day your statement was generated).
3.) Transactions – Go through the list of all purchases and payments made during the billing period. Each entry shows the date, a short description, and the amount.
4.) Reward Points – Check how many reward points you earned in this billing cycle.
5.) Credit Limit – Review your total credit limit and how much of it is still available (both for purchases and cash withdrawals).
6.) Last Month’s Balance – This shows how much you owed in your previous statement. It helps you keep track of your past spending.
You should read your credit card statement in the following ways-
Start by checking the statement date, then review the payment due date to ensure timely repayment. Next, look at your previous statement balance, followed by your current available credit limit and cash withdrawal limit. Finally, don’t forget to review your reward points summary to keep track of your earned benefits.
HSBC will send you your credit card statement 15 days before your credit card bill payment due date.

For the HSBC Visa Platinum Credit Card, the billing cycle is usually 30 days, and the due date is around 20 to 25 days after the statement date. So you get up to 50 to 55 days of interest-free period if you spend right after the cycle starts.
You can find your exact billing and due dates in the HSBC app or on your monthly statement. It’s a good idea to plan big spends just after the statement is generated to get the most time to repay.

Apart from the total dues and due date, which section of the credit card statement is the most important to check for hidden charges or errors?
Hi Raj , Think of it like this, you swipe today, HSBC tracks it for about 30 days (that’s your billing cycle), then drops a statement. From there, you usually get another 20–25 days to actually pay. So if you time your spends right after a new cycle starts, you can stretch that interest-free window to nearly 50–55 days.
For the HSBC Visa Platinum Credit Card the billing cycle is usually a fixed 30 day period and the due date for payment falls about 18 to 20 days after the statement is generated. So in total you can get up to 48 to 50 days of interest free period depending on your transaction date. The exact statement date and due date are assigned when your card is issued and you can see them clearly on your monthly statement.
