- Your water account number changes if you move to another property in Durham Region. Update the account number in Chexy when you move.
- Water isn’t included in your property taxes; it’s a separate account and bill.
- If you’re on Durham’s pre-authorized payment, cancel it before paying through Chexy so you don’t pay twice.
- American Express works for utilities only with eligible billers picked from Chexy’s search bar; Visa and Mastercard work either way.
- Rewards are set by your card issuer, not by Chexy.
