| How To Use Credit Card In Zerodha |
But Why No Credit Cards, You Ask?
Here's the deal: the stock market can be a wild rollercoaster (think more rickety wooden coaster than smooth Disney ride). Using borrowed money (like from your credit card) to invest can be super dangerous. Imagine buying stocks with your credit card, only to see them plummet faster than your hopes of a beach vacation. Now you're stuck with a mountain of debt and a portfolio that looks like a deflated birthday balloon. Not exactly the "get rich quick" scheme you were hoping for, right?

Here are some tried and tested methods to add funds to your Zerodha account:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
- The Classic: Net Banking: This is your reliable old friend. Most banks in India allow you to transfer funds directly to your Zerodha account through net banking. It's safe, secure, and usually free.
- The Speedy Gonzales: UPI: If you're all about instant gratification, UPI is your go-to. It's a super fast and convenient way to transfer funds using your bank's mobile app.
- The Ol' Reliable: Fund Transfer: You can also transfer funds from your bank account to Zerodha using other methods like NEFT, IMPS, or RTGS. These options might take a bit longer, but they're still perfectly valid.
Remember, Responsible Investing is the Name of the Game!
While using a credit card might seem tempting, it's important to invest responsibly. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and never use borrowed money to gamble in the market.
So, ditch the credit card and choose a safer, more sustainable path to financial freedom. Your future self will thank you!
