Why do credit card companies typically require small minimum payment amounts on their customers' monthly credit card statements.

Answer:

C) Credit card companies want to increase profits by promoting slower repayment, and actual customer repayments will be anchored by the smaller payment options

Explanation:

It is always a bad idea to only pay the minimum monthly payment on a credit card debt, since the APR charged is much higher than other personal loans. If someone only makes the minimum payment and continues to purchase goods or pay services, their balance will continue to grow.
