Paying McGill University tuition by credit card: questions
Can I pay McGill tuition with a credit card?

Doesn’t McGill take credit cards?
No. McGill says it isn’t possible to pay by credit card. Chexy charges your card and pays McGill by bank bill payment with your McGill ID.

Your McGill ID, the student’s own, even if someone else is paying.

Can a parent pay instead?
Either of you can set it up. The card on file is the card that collects the rewards.
The fine print
- McGill says it isn’t possible to pay by credit card, so Chexy pays by bank bill payment instead.
- Payments must reach McGill by the due date, or interest and a late payment fee can apply.
- Banks list McGill as “McGill University (PQ)” or “MCGILL UNIVERSITY”. Don’t use “TRU MCGILL RESIDENCE”.
- If a parent pays, use the student’s McGill ID, not a guest ID.
- American Express works when you pick McGill 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.
