The fine print
- Toronto Hydro’s own card option is for one-time payments through KUBRA EZ-PAY: 1.75% on credit cards, 0.75% on debit and $2 for digital wallets. Toronto Hydro gets none of that fee.
- Overdue accounts are charged interest and get late-payment notices, so schedule ahead of the due date.
- 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. Logos show accepted networks, not an endorsement.
