    No on a credit card unless that card has a money transfer feature and you would have to use the facility into your own account and then transfer using faster payments to the said invoice account number.

    No need to go into the bank as the facility is not there, if you let us know the credit card your thinking of using then we can let you know your options or you can apply for a new one that offers the facility, the checker on this website would list your chances of success with a money transfer card.

    Your only options are cash advance (usually 3% fee + interest from day 1) or money transfer if your credit card allows it and you currently have an offer.
