- Bank payments to this payee are for tuition only, not housing or library fees.
- Unpaid fees after the deadline are charged 18% a year, applied at the end of each month. Overdue accounts can lose registration and be sent to collections.
- The U of A takes cards through PayMyTuition in Beartracks, where service fees may be charged to the cardholder.
- American Express works when you pick the University of Alberta 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.
