The fine print
- Toronto adds 1.25% on the first day of default and on the first day of each month after, and these charges can’t be waived.
- The city’s pre-authorized plan (PTP) doesn’t accept credit cards.
- Payments are applied to the oldest outstanding balance first, and paying to the wrong account brings a re-distribution fee.
- 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.
