How to Transfer Money From a Credit Card to a Check Debit Card

For consumers who own both a credit card and a checking account, it's possible to transfer funds between the two in a variety of ways. If both a credit and debit card are issued through the same bank, simply contacting that bank or using its online banking service to link the accounts will easily allow transfers between the two. But if the cards are issued by different institutions, subscribing to an online service such as PayPal also allows for easy transfers.
