The fine print
- Your account number is your UCID followed by the first five letters of your last name, with no spaces or hyphens. Shorter last names are used in full.
- Choose the Tuition payee, not Residence. Banks name it “University of Calgary – Tuition” (CIBC, TD) or “University of Calgary Tuition” (BMO).
- UCalgary takes cards through Flywire, which charges a 2.25% service fee on Visa, Mastercard and Amex.
- Past-due fees of $100 or more are charged 1% interest a month on the principal. After 15 days a hold blocks adding courses and transcripts.
- American Express works when you pick the University of Calgary 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.
