Paying UBC tuition by credit card: questions
Can I pay UBC tuition with a credit card?
Yes. Chexy charges your Visa, Mastercard or American Express and pays UBC by bank bill payment with your student number, for 1.75% on Canadian cards.
Doesn’t UBC take credit cards already?
Yes, Visa and Mastercard, with a non-refundable 2.65% convenience fee (minimum $3). Chexy’s fee is 1.75% on Canadian cards and American Express works too.
What account number do I use?
Your UBC student number. Banks list UBC as “UBC Tuition” or “UBC Tuition Fees”.
When are UBC’s 2026/27 deadlines?
September 9, 2026 for Winter Term 1 and January 6, 2027 for Term 2, per the Vancouver calendar. Schedule your Chexy payment five business days earlier.
What happens if I pay late?
UBC places a financial hold, charges a $35 processing fee and adds interest at prime plus 6% a year, calculated at the end of each month.
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
- UBC’s own card option takes Visa and Mastercard with a non-refundable convenience fee of 2.65% (minimum $3).
- Unpaid fees after the deadline bring a financial hold, a $35 processing fee and interest at prime plus 6% a year. The hold blocks registration and transcripts.
- Student housing and meal plan fees are paid separately from tuition.
- Paying from outside Canada? UBC uses TransferMate for payments in other currencies.
- American Express works when you pick UBC 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.
