Correct answers:
- To track spending habits and spot fraud
- To apply for a mortgage
Why:
- Regular review helps you spot unauthorized transactions, errors, and recurring charges, and it shows where your money goes so you can adjust your budget.
- Lenders often require recent bank statements when you apply for a mortgage; keeping them accurate and organized makes the application smoother and helps you prove income/reserves.
Why the others are incorrect:
- Reviewing statements doesn’t directly increase your credit score. It can help you avoid missed payments or spot problems that might harm your score, but the act of reviewing itself doesn’t raise it.
- Reviewing statements won’t earn interest. Your account may earn interest (shown on the statement), but simply looking at the statement doesn’t generate interest.
