 TITLE: How Do I Transfer Money from My Credit Card to a Bank Account? CONTENT: Can You Transfer Money From a Credit Card to a Checking Account?\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nIf you have a financial emergency and choose to take cash out via your credit card account, the way you'd do this is through a cash advance. This is a loan you must repay and that can't exceed the current balance available on your credit card. Be aware that interest starts accruing on the cash withdrawal as soon as you take it out. There's no grace period like there is with a typical credit card purchase, so if you need the money for something that you could just pay for with your card, it's better to that.\nBut if you need cash, the process for getting your money depends on your credit card issuer, so you'll need to find out what they offer. Here are a few ways you can typically get cash advance money into your bank account:\n*   **Direct transfer**: Some financial institutions allow you to directly transfer funds from your credit card to your checking account. U.S. Bank, for example, lets you complete this process entirely online. However, many issuers don't have this option. While this method is convenient, it might also make it a little too easy to take on more debt.\n*   **ATM**: Many banks and credit unions allow you to take out money for a credit card cash advance via an ATM; you just need to make sure your credit card has a PIN. If you need this money to go into your checking account, you can then deposit your cash into your account (either at an ATM that accepts deposits, or at a branch).\n*   **In person**: You may be able to take out a cash advance out in person at a branch. If you go this route, you could then deposit the cash into your checking account.\n*   **Convenience checks**: These are checks your credit card issuer sends you that you can deposit in your bank account or use to pay for something like you would with a personal check. They function much like traditional checks, except the money comes from your credit card's line of credit rather than your checking account. END
