💡 Accountant's Note

Full payment clears the credit card balance. No interest is charged if payment is received within the grace period. The payment reduces both the outstanding balance and the bank's exposure.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

In the CMS, card payments are matched to the outstanding statement balance and posted as CASA debits. Minimum payment tracking (for revolvers) is also handled in CMS. IFRS 9 requires that revolving (minimum payment) customers are assessed for elevated credit risk and potentially staged to Stage 2.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Auditors monitor the percentage of cardholders making only minimum payments (revolvers) vs. full payers (transactors). A rising revolver ratio indicates increasing credit risk in the portfolio. CBJ requires disclosure of the credit card NPL rate in regulatory returns.

📄 Required Documentation

Card payment confirmation, statement balance at payment date, CASA debit advice, and CMS payment processing report.
