Paying into Credit card when abroad

liger

Hi,

I'm going to be abroad for a year. How can i pay my credit card bill from another country?

I'm guessing work i'll do will be cash in hand. Can i go into any bank and put cash into the cc?

Thanks

It depends where you are going to be.

You can't just lodge it anywhere, no.

spain, There are lots of people traveling the world, they cant all have a big account at home to throw in money via the web when they need.

Set up online banking and do it that way, also if you look at your statement it should give you details on how to pay it from abroad, or ring your credit card company and they could do it

Pretty much they do, or have someone do it for them.

You'll be needing some method (telephone or internet banking) to pay into the credit card - be it from an Irish account, or a Spanish account that will let you do transfers to your Irish account and onwards to your card.

When you're abroad, earning in $AU, or $US or $NZ or whatever, then you'll want to be paying for things in that currency too - no point losing on the conversion when you buy the item with your Irish credit card, and then losing again when you transfer your dollars over to pay for it.
