The fine print
- Manulife asks individual policyholders who send personal cheques to pay by pre-authorized debit or a one-time internet transfer when the premium due notice arrives. That applies to personally and corporately owned policies.
- Changing your regular payment amount with Manulife needs a completed Manulife form.
- Corporately owned policies and policies issued by Standard Life aren’t accessible in Manulife’s online portal.
- American Express works only when you pick Manulife from Chexy’s search bar; Visa and Mastercard work either way.
- 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.
