Payment Flexibility It's all within your control - You've managed your financial life responsibly, but sometimes emergencies arise that you don't have control over. With payment flexibility you decide what you want to pay: the minimum payment, the total balance, or something in between. As long as you pay on or before the due date you will maintain your competitive interest rate and not have to worry about high interest charges on your balances.
