What you can pay
How it works with your mortgage
Your First National mortgage
Your First National mortgage stays exactly as it is. Chexy only changes which account your payment comes from.
- Your regular mortgage payment. The same amount, on your usual payment date.
- No changes to your mortgage. Same lender, same rate, same term. Nothing to refinance, nothing to re-apply for.
1.75% per payment, added to your withdrawal. On a $2,500 mortgage payment, that’s $43.75.
Timing
When First National gets paid
- At least two weeks before your next payment
- Give your lender your Chexy account details, so the change is in place in time.
- Your usual payment date
- Chexy withdraws your payment plus the fee from your chequing account, never in advance, and pays First National on schedule.
Paying your First National mortgage with Chexy: questions
Can I pay my First National mortgage through Chexy?
Yes. Chexy pays First National from the chequing account you already use, on your usual payment date, and you earn 1 Aeroplan point per $1 on eligible payments.*
How do I tell First National?
Call First National and ask for the mortgage servicing team. Ask to change the account your mortgage payments are withdrawn from, ask how they accept the change, give them your Chexy institution, transit and account numbers and authorize it. Before you hang up, ask them to read the details back and confirm the first payment date from the new account.
Can I still make extra payments?
Yes. Your mortgage doesn’t change. First National’s My Mortgage portal lists extra payments and payment-date changes among its features.
Do I pay with my credit card?
No. Mortgage payments through Chexy come from your chequing account, the same account you pay from today. You earn Aeroplan points directly through Chexy, no credit card required.
What does it cost?
There’s a 1.75% fee per payment, added to your withdrawal. On a $2,500 mortgage payment, that’s $43.75. You also earn 2,500 Aeroplan points on that payment.*
Does this change anything about my mortgage?
No. Your rate, term, amortization and payment schedule all stay exactly the same.
The fine print
- *Conditions apply. 1 Aeroplan point per $1 on eligible mortgage payments made through Chexy.
- First National’s My Mortgage portal lets you update your account information, change payment dates and make extra payments. You can also chat with a First National mortgage specialist there.
- Your Chexy account details are held at Peoples Trust Company. If it doesn’t show up in your lender’s system, ask the representative to enter the details by hand and read them back to you.
- If your mortgage has two borrowers, First National may need both of you to authorize the change.
- Keep your old account funded until you see a mortgage payment come out through Chexy. Until the change takes effect, your lender still draws from the old account.
- Chexy is not a mortgage lender, mortgage broker or party to your mortgage.
