Can you bail yourself out of jail with a debit card?

You cannot use a debit card to bail yourself out of jail, and most counties require a cash bail to be paid with cash on hand. However, you can use a debit or a credit card for a surety bond, which allows you to post bail without any upfront cash. This means that you don’t need to have the total sum of your bail on hand when you work with a bail bond agency.
