Questions to bring with you
You don’t have to ask every question on this page. Circle the ones that fit the conversation, and add your own. It is reasonable to ask for a term to be explained again.
If you’re discussing an account
- What fees could I be charged, and when?
- Is there a minimum balance or any other condition I need to understand?
- What documents are required in my situation?
- How can I check my balance and keep a record of transactions?
- Who can explain the terms in a language I understand?
If you’re discussing borrowing
- How much would I receive, and what would I repay in total?
- What interest and fees apply?
- When are payments due, and can the amounts change?
- What happens if a payment is late or I repay early?
- Can I take the written terms away and review them before deciding?
If you’re discussing a bill or payment
- What is the exact amount and due date?
- Are there charges for the payment method I am considering?
- How will I know the payment has been received?
- Who should I contact if an amount looks wrong?
