The fine print
- Western doesn’t accept credit cards for fee payments itself, so Chexy pays by bank bill payment.
- Banks list Western as “WESTERN UNIV-TUITION AND RESIDENCE” (CIBC and Scotiabank shorten it).
- Overdue balances are charged 1.5% a month, and Western can remove students from courses for non-payment.
- American Express works when you pick Western 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.
