Most credit card customers, who are currently in good standing, will automatically see a $0 minimum due on statements beginning on April 1, 2020. Interest will continue to accrue on the unpaid balance at your current interest rate during the period that the payments are deferred, which may result in higher finance charges over the life of the loan. Customers who have auto-payment set up for their credit card account will need to contact card services at consumercards@htlf.com by the 15th of the month to help them setup no payment due on consumer credit cards.
