The fine print
- Kitchener adds 1.25% the day after the due date and on the first business day of each month after, and late payments go to penalty and interest first.
- Kitchener asks you to allow at least five business days for an online banking payment.
- 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.
