Custom house with no CDN Bank account

[Kimbear 53]

I only have my canadian credit card left, no bank account. Can i still use custom house to pay my cc from my us bank account? Been seding monthly cheques but it seems to take a month for them to get there and be processed and for the 2nd time my payment has either been late or lost.

Just wondering if i actually need a CDN bank account to be able to pay my CDN cc or if they can just do the conversion withdrawl from my US one.

I believe you do need a bank account. It's basically like transferring money from one bank account to another bank account. I don't think there is an option to transfer straight to a credit card. You might just want to try calling them to find out just to be sure.

ok your right. as was told to me today; "you will have to confirm that they have a holding account for credit card payments."

alas..the only reason i got rid of my canadian bank account is that i was tired of paying monthly fees for not using it or carrying a balance. i just dont understand why the mail system from chicago to toronto takes so damn long...its a 5 hour drive by car..and yet mail both ways takes upwards of 3-4 weeks..Le Sigh.

I kept open my Presidents choice account--no fees at all! BUT if one is no longer living in Canada,they want you to close the account! So I just use my parents addy and keep a tiny sum of $$ (under $1) in it!
