The most recent Fed data showed that the number of Americans that were delinquent on their credit card payments increased by 0.18% compared to Q1 2023. This was for the people who had 30-day delinquencies.
The increase results in the third straight quarter for 30-day delinquency rates being above 2%. Credit card delinquencies are now at 2.43% from the previous 2.25% during the first quarter.
However, this was still way lower than during the Great Recession in 2009, when delinquencies reached a high of 7%. This came as the average APR for all credit cards during the second quarter of 2023 being at 20.68%.
In 2023, it was reported that the average card accruing interest during the second quarter of 2023 was at 22.16%.
