Credit card delinquencies decline in Q4 2014 as spend level increases

February 27, 2015 by Matt Tatham

We recently issued our Q4 2014 Experian-Oliver Wyman Market Intelligence Report that coversconsumer economic trends and foundthat overall bankcard delinquencies (60 days past due (DPD) and greater) came in at a low 1.79% for Q4 2014. It is interesting to note the disparity when analyzing delinquency by annual spend level. Those spending $100,000 or more per year on credit cards had the lowest delinquency rate at 0.43%, while those spending $5,000 or less annually had the highest delinquency rate at 3.58%.
