The fine print
- NB Power doesn’t take credit cards directly because card issuers charge interchange fees. Its EZ-PAY provider charges 1.75% on Visa and Mastercard and 0.75% on debit.
- EZ-PAY payments can take up to three business days to appear on your NB Power account.
- American Express works for utilities only with eligible billers picked 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.
