Paying Credit Cards from Another Bank: A Step-by-Step Guide

You can pay a credit card from another bank online, by phone, or by mail.

To pay a credit card from another bank online, you'll need to know the credit card company's website and your account information.

The website will ask you to log in with your username and password, and then you can choose the credit card you want to pay.

You can pay a credit card from another bank by phone by calling the credit card company's customer service number.

You can pay a credit card from another bank, but be aware that it might cost you. BPAY transactions, for example, incur a small fee, such as 80 cents (plus GST) per transaction if you're with Westpac.

Some businesses that offer BPAY accept payments from savings accounts and everyday debit accounts, but not all billers accept credit card payments, so it's best to check with your bank.

You can also set up an Autopay credit card payment from a separate bank or financial institution, such as Westpac's Card Autopay Request form.

It's generally not possible to directly pay a credit card with another credit card, but you do have options like balance transfers or cash advances, which come with fees.

If you need to make a credit card payment in person, some banks like NAB offer credit card payments at Bank@Post Australia Post outlets, and you can use a separate credit or debit card.

However, not all lenders accept cash payments for credit card bills at Australia Post, so it's best to check with your bank beforehand.

You can pay a credit card with another bank using a check, bill pay, or ACH transfer from your bank. This is the easiest way to do it.

To make an ACH transfer, you'll need to enter your account and routing numbers on your online card account, if your credit card issuer allows it. This way, your payment will be directly drafted from your bank account.

Balance transfers are another option, but they usually come with fees, so they should be used as a last resort.

If you're a Westpac customer, you can set up an auto payment from either a Westpac or non-Westpac transaction account to pay your credit card bill.

To set up an auto payment, look for the option to select 'Other Account' in the Autopay setup, if you're an NAB cardholder.

You can also set up an auto payment from an external bank account, but check with your bank to see if they accept credit card payments through BPAY, which incurs a small fee.

To avoid these fees, make sure you have sufficient funds in your account to cover the payment amount.

It's also worth noting that credit card payments may take longer to process than other payment methods.

A balance transfer involves transferring the balance from one credit card to another, often with a 0% interest rate promotion. However, be aware that this will likely incur a transfer fee.

If you're unable to transfer your balance, you can consider a cash advance, but this will also come with a fee, usually a percentage of the amount borrowed.

Some credit card issuers, like Westpac, allow you to set up an Autopay credit card payment from a separate bank or financial institution, but this is not a direct payment method.

It's worth noting that paying a credit card with another credit card is not a recommended practice, as it can lead to debt accumulation and financial difficulties.
