Note: Be aware that accounts that have entered forbearance agreements may not advance in delinquency, and ultimately charge-off, in the same timeframe than if the forbearance had not been granted. As a result, the delinquency and charge-off rates since March may be lower than they would have been without the forbearance programs offered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
