How to transfer money from a credit card to debit card
These days it’s fairly easy to transfer money between bank accounts. But what about transferring money between cards?
If you want to transfer money from your credit card it’s usually called a balance transfer. Sending money is made slightly trickier with credit cards, because you’re building up a debt when you spend, which is paid off at the end of the month. So if you want to transfer money to someone else using your credit card, you’re effectively transferring them money to form a debt that you haven’t yet paid off.
If you only have a credit card and you need to transfer money then you will need to find a provider which is low-cost, simple and fast. Luckily, Paysend has the solution!
