English term or phrase: get current
Your account is past due. Make your minimum payment now to get current.

I need help with the term "get current". The context is a platform for online payments. Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
When an account is current, there is either no payment due right now because you've recently made a payment, or the only payment due now is the minimum payment for the current month.
