While some credit cards give you the option of transferring funds to a bank account, others have restrictions around this type of transaction. You can use this guide to check if this is possible with your current bank, how to make a transfer and what to watch out for before you go ahead.
The first step is to check if your credit card provider will let you transfer funds to a bank account – either by calling them or logging into your account to see if there is an option there.
If your card and selected account allow this type of transaction, you can usually make the transfer online, through your bank's mobile app or over the phone. We've outlined the basic steps for these options below, although it will be a bit different with each provider.
If you're transferring funds to an account with the same bank, they should be available within a day. If the transfer is to an account with a different institution, allow 2-3 business days for the transaction to be completed.

The amount you'll be able to send to a bank account from your credit card will depend on your credit limit and the credit card provider. This type of transfer is usually considered a cash advance transaction, so you may only be able to transfer a portion of your available credit limit. You can find these details in your online account, or by asking your credit card company.
Make sure you consider these factors and potential costs before you go ahead with a transfer from your credit card to a bank account.
Depending on your situation, you could consider the following alternatives if you're unable to transfer funds from your credit card to a bank account:
While there are credit cards that allow you to transfer funds to a bank account, it usually attracts fees, charges and is subject to other limitations. So make sure you weigh up these factors to help you decide if this is the right option for you.

How can I transfer money from credit card to a bank account but the credit card doesn’t have the expiration date or the CVV number waiting on the new card but this one is working just can’t deposit money?
Hi Donna,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
You may process it online or over the phone. I’m afraid that you need to wait for your valid card for the required details like CVV and expiry date to successfully transfer money from your credit card to your bank account online.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
How to transfer cash from credit card to a normal savings account?
Hello Nasish,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, it’s possible to transfer amount from credit card to a bank account. Firstly, since not all credit cards allow this kind of transfer, you must contact your credit card issuer and verify if a transfer is possible. Next is to call your bank and check if your account can accept transfers from credit accounts. If yes for both, then you can do the transfer through online or over the phone.
