- Double-check your student ID number. Waterloo says to be very sure it’s correct.
- A payment that hasn’t reached Quest by the due date is charged a Fees Arranged Extension Fee.
- You can’t pay from inside Quest. Banking details in Quest are only for refunds.
- American Express works when you pick the University of Waterloo 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.
