Kapparot by Credit Card

Question

Is it possible to perform kapparot by paying with a credit card for all members of the family with the same amount of money?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

The kapparot should be performed with actual money [coins or bills], and it should be circled over the heads of those for whom the kapparot are being performed, as is customary. 

Afterward, you may give the equivalent value of the money with which you performed kapparot by credit card, bank transfer, or any other method. There is no specific matter of giving the actual coins themselves to charity.
