The fine print
- TenantPay’s own card fees are 1.75% on Visa credit and 2.75% on Mastercard credit (0.99% on Visa Debit, from $4.99 by PAD). Chexy is 1.75% on any Canadian-issued Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
- TenantPay says landlords don’t need to take part. With Chexy, your landlord doesn’t need to sign up either.
- If your landlord also takes Interac e-Transfer, Bill Pay or pre-authorized debit directly, Chexy can pay them that way instead.
- 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.
