Systems, methods, and computer program products for presenting, on a
statement associated with a financial transaction instrument, an amount
of interest avoided during a statement period. A first interest amount is
computed for the statement period according to a first interest
calculation method, the first interest amount being an interest amount
actually billed to the transaction instrument account holder. A second
interest amount is computed for the statement period according to a
second interest calculation method. An amount of interest avoided for the
statement period is computed by taking a difference of the first interest
amount and the second interest amount. The amount of interest avoided for
the statement period is displayed on the statement, whereby the holder of
the transaction instrument is informed as to the amount of interest
avoided by use of the first interest calculation method, rather than the
second interest calculation method.
