The fine print
- Hamilton adds a 1.25% penalty on the first day of default, then 1.25% interest on the first day of each month until paid.
- Roll numbers belong to the property. Moving within Hamilton? Update the number, or payments go to your old home and a fee applies to fix it.
- 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.
