The fine print
- McMaster’s own card option in Mosaic takes Visa and Mastercard with a non-refundable 2.25% service fee charged by the provider.
- Accounts not paid in full by the deadline get a $102.20 late fee once per term, plus interest of 1.2% a month (14.4% a year). McMaster says these are subject to change.
- Double-check your student number before you pay.
- Paying from outside Canada? McMaster lists Convera and PayMyTuition.
- American Express works when you pick McMaster 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.
