The best way to pay your credit card bill instantly is to set up an online account through the issuer’s website and make automatic payments deducted from a checking account.
How to Set Up an Online Account
- Go to the issuer’s website.
- Click on “Sign up”, “Register Now” or something similar, depending on the website. You can usually locate this button below the login box.
- Add your personal information.

- Click “Submit”.
- Open your email and click the link to verify your registration.
