Considerations Before Transferring Cash from Credit Card to Bank Account

Here are some of the factors you need to consider before transferring cash from your credit card to your bank account:

  • Interest Rates and Fees

Be aware of any fees and interest rates associated with the transfer. Credit card companies often charge a processing fee, usually between 1% and 5% of the transferred amount. Additionally, it is important to understand the costs associated with the interest that starts accumulating immediately once the funds are transferred. 

  • Security Measures

Prioritise security when transferring money. Use trusted and secure platforms for transactions, and never share with anyone sensitive information like your credit card CVV, PIN or OTP. Moreover, ensure you are using a secure internet connection for these transactions to safeguard your financial information.

The Bottom Line

Understanding how to transfer money from credit card to bank account is crucial for managing your finances effectively.
