The fine print
- Clarington charges penalty and interest on late payments, regardless of any change in ownership; check your bill for the rate.
- Newly built homes are first billed for the vacant lot; supplementary bills for the house can follow, backdated to the purchase date.
- Until changes to your account are complete, pay the amounts billed by the due date to avoid penalties.
- 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.
