For those using Fifth Third Bank Cards, it's beneficial to look over your card statements more than just once annually. We recommend reviewing your Fifth Third Bank Card statements at least biannually, with these checks spaced out through the year. This approach is essential because new subscriptions, often with modest costs, tend to be added regularly to our daily activities. These seemingly small charges on your Fifth Third Bank Card can easily go unnoticed, gradually adding up and impacting your budget. Regular, spaced-out statement reviews help in identifying these recurring expenses, ensuring you're not paying for subscriptions that you no longer need or use.
