Hi, I'm a student in Finland (Finnish citizen) and studying for a bachelor's degree year-round except for the summer. I don't have a side job during my studies, but like many students, I work during the summer. I started working in May and expected to receive my salary at the end of May, but I was informed that I would get it at the end of June. This has left me in a difficult financial situation, as I don't receive any student aid during these months.
Recently, I found a solution. I applied for a student credit card (OP) with a limit of €2000 and planned to use it during June and pay it off in July with my "double salary."
Is it possible to pay bills with it? I don't see the option on OP.fi when I want to pay something. I have it on my Apple Pay, but I guess I can only use that for in-store purchases.

If you move money from the credit card to the debit side then you have money
You can’t use it to pay bills.
I’d give the companies that sent the bills a call and explain the situation, you can usually push the due date as long as they are informed about it.
You can transfer money from your credit card to your account. There are probably some additional fees when you do this though.
