Paying CAPREIT rent by credit card: questions
Can I pay CAPREIT rent with a credit card?
Yes. Chexy charges your Visa, Mastercard or American Express and pays CAPREIT by bill payment with your account number, for 1.75% on Canadian cards.
Which number do I enter?
The account or reference number CAPREIT provides for online payments. If you don’t have it, CAPREIT asks you to email or call them.
I’m on CAPREIT’s pre-authorized payment. Can I still use Chexy?
Yes. Update your banking details in the CAPREIT Resident Portal to the Chexy account details from setup. CAPREIT keeps withdrawing on the 1st, from your Chexy account. Allow 6–8 business days before your first rent day.
Does CAPREIT need to sign up?
No. Your landlord gets paid exactly as they do today by Interac e-Transfer or direct deposit into the same account. Nothing changes on their end, and most never know Chexy is involved.
What does it cost?
1.75% of each payment on Canadian-issued cards (2.5% on international cards), shown before you confirm. Nothing else.
Will I earn points or cashback?
Your card issuer decides, not Chexy. Most cards earn their usual rate on Chexy payments; check your card’s terms.
The fine print
- CAPREIT needs your account or reference number on every online payment so it lands on your account. If you don’t know it, CAPREIT asks you to email or call them.
- On CAPREIT’s pre-authorized payment (PAP), rent comes out on the first day of each month. To pay that way through Chexy, update your PAP banking details in the CAPREIT Resident Portal to your Chexy account details.
- CAPREIT’s FAQ lists credit cards among its payment methods but doesn’t give details or costs.
- Rewards are set by your card issuer, not by Chexy.
- Chexy accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards in your name. Prepaid cards aren’t supported. Some categories (mobile, internet, gym and car leases) need Visa or Mastercard, and for utilities and taxes American Express works with eligible billers only. Logos show accepted networks, not an endorsement.
