 TITLE: Do You Need a Checking Account to Get a Credit Card? CONTENT: How to Pay Your Credit Card Bill Without a Bank Account\n-------------------------------------------------------\nIt's still possible to pay your credit card bill without a bank account, though you'll have to take a few extra steps. Here are your options:\n*   **Money order****:** This form of payment works like a regular check, except that it isn't linked to a checking account. Instead, you purchase a money order upfront using cash. You can do this at a post office, Walmart, Western Union or elsewhere at a cost of anywhere from $1 to $5 per transaction.\n*   **Cashier's check****:** A cashier's check is similar to a money order, but is guaranteed by the financial institution that issues it. They're typically only available to account holders, but some banks and credit unions may allow you to purchase them upfront in cash without an account. Just bear in mind that the fee probably will set you back about $10.\n*   **Cash:** Some credit card companies accept cash payments. For example, you can make payments toward a Chase credit card using cash at one of their ATMs. If your credit card issuer has a physical location nearby, you can pop in or call to see if cash payments are accepted.
