Credit Card Delinquency

U.S. credit card balances 90+ days past due, and the share of balances newly falling that far behind, %

Share of balances 90+ days delinquent: 12.9% in Q2 2026+0.7 pp since Q2 2025

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where the data set a record or moved most.

Serious delinquency means 90 or more days past due. The flow line is the share of balances that moved into serious delinquency over the past year.

Two views of how many Americans are falling behind on credit cards. The stock line shows the share of all card balances already 90 or more days late; the flow line shows how fast new balances are joining them, which tends to turn first.
