No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I want to add my Chase bank info to the Penfed website so I can pay my credit card bill. I see an option to "Add non Penfed account " as well as "add registered non Penfed account". What's the difference and which do I choose to be able to pay my credit card bill as well as my PLOC bill when due from Chase? Thanks!

Not sure there is any difference. The NFCU account that I have added shows under both 'non PenFed accounts' and 'Registered non PenFed accounts'

Kinda splitting hairs with what they call them, but the 'registered' accounts will allow you to move money back and forth from PenFed. If they aren't registered it may only let you move money from PenFed but not to

Not even splitting hares. Go for the registered link. It will take a few days, as they send small transactions to your other account and you have to verify the amounts to confirm to PenFed it is your owned account outside Penfed. From then on, however, there are more features to enable working with the accounts from the PenFed side.
This is actually quite common. I have gone through this linking procedure with several banks so they can move money through electronic transfers, both send and pull. Some even end up with the capability where bank A pulls from bank B to initate a transfer to bank C without the funds actually touching bank A.
So I guess it's best I go for the registered non Penfed account. It may not influence how I pay my PF credit card but maybe moving money back and forth from my PLOC to my Chase checking may benefit from this. Any other thoughts are appreciated. Thanks
