What should I reconcile on a loan statement?
Read opening balance, payments, interest, charges and closing balance as a sequence.
Their relationship is more informative than looking only at the amount due next.
Compare unusual entries with the agreement and records of actual payments. Request an explanation for a difference before attributing it to a rate change or an error.
Open the provider-identity checklist
Compare legal details and independently verified contact information before sharing application documents.

- Total repayable
- Sum payable under the stated schedule and its assumptions; contingent charges and changes must be considered separately.
- Amount received
- Money actually made available to the borrower, which can differ from the stated loan amount if a charge is deducted.
