Credit Cards About 93% of graduating students report they have at least one credit card, including 29% who say they have two or more. Among those students who have credit cards, about 79% report they pay off their balance each month and, as such, their current credit card balance is zero; however, when asked what their current credit card balance is, just 37% say it is zero. Among those with an unpaid balance, the average credit card debt students have is $2,771.
