How do I get a cash advance from my credit card or line of credit?

Before taking a cash advance, consider the costs related to one. Credit products used for cash advances may be subject to additional charges. This includes cash advance fees and interest charges that will accrue on the amounts advanced. Alternatively, if you use a checking or savings account, you can avoid these expenses. See your Cardmember Agreement for details. See alsoHow do I request my cardmember agreement?

Getting a cash advance using digital banking is considered an “internal transfer”. So, all you need to do is transfer funds from the credit card into your checking or savings account. See alsoHow do I transfer money between my U.S. Bank accounts?
