Using one of these payment services: Skril or PayPal.  Your account must be 'verified' to be acceptable though.  That means that even if you don't have the money in the account the service can get the money instantly through a back up of some kind so LL can be paid instantly and doesn't have to wait.  You are after all given what you pay for instantly.

See their instructions or information about what they will accept to verify your account as it varies by country.

You may use a verified PayPal account or Skrill account.  To be "verified", the account must either be linked to a credit card or a bank account.  PayPal and Skrill have instructions for how to do that.  Normally, SL residents link PayPal or Skrill to a credit card because it is easier. If you verifiy with a bank account, then you must always maintain a cash balance in the PayPal or Skrill account.  That is important because a bank cannot transfer money fast enough to make instant purchases.  When you buy L$ or make a Marketplace purchase, Linden Lab will use the cash balance in your PayPal or Skrill account, which is instantaneous.
