In principle you can; you can get a cash advance from a credit card and use that to pay off the bank account, the problem is that the interest from the credit card is likely to be higher than the bank charges. It's probably best to try and arrange a loan with the bank.

Do you need a bank account to have a debit card?

Yes, you do. A debit card is linked to a bank account - so that you can only 'spend' what money is already in the associated account. (ie - you cannot go overdrawn on the card). A credit card is different - it's like a short-term 'loan' that you pay back. You can 'spend' using the card - up to its limit - whether there's any money in your bank account or not.


Can you obtain a credit card if you're checking account is negative?

Your credit history is what is important. If you are overdrawn or have been over drawn many times and the bank is charging you penalties it will hurt your chances of getting a credit card. If you have a credit line that protects your checking account like I do you just start drawing on that and it won't hurt your credit report.


How can I transfer my credit card payment to my bank account?

To transfer your credit card payment to your bank account, you can typically do so by logging into your online banking account and setting up a transfer from your credit card to your bank account. You may also be able to do this by contacting your credit card company directly or visiting a bank branch.
