Credit Card vs Debit Card / Bank Transfer
| Rail | Deposit fee | Processing time | Withdrawal hold | Withdraw back to method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credit Card | 2.5%–3.99% + possible cash-advance fee | Instant | 2 days typical | No |
| Debit Card | 1.8%–3.99% | Instant | 2 days typical | Yes |
| Bank Transfer | Free–0.5% | 0–1 business day | None | Yes |
Credit Card costs more per deposit (2.5%–3.99% + possible cash-advance fee) than Debit Card (1.8%–3.99%), so it only wins when speed or convenience is worth the surcharge. For any recurring purchase, moving to the cheaper rail is the single biggest fee cut available.
