💳 Why can't I use Amex for some categories?

Amex has restrictions on certain types of payments. Here's what that means:

  • Some categories can only be paid with a Visa or Mastercard credit card. Anything marked "Visa / Mastercard only" in the table above can't be charged to an Amex card.

  • This isn't a Chexy limitation — it comes from Amex's own rules for these payment types. Just use a Visa or Mastercard card for those categories instead.

  • Even for Amex-approved categories, only payments that genuinely fall within that category qualify. Check the "What's accepted" and "What's NOT accepted" columns above to confirm your payment is eligible.

💸 Can I pay myself dividends or other expenses/incomes through Chexy?

No. Chexy does not support:

  • Dividend payments to yourself

  • Owner draws

  • Internal company distributions

  • Transfers between your own personal and corporate accounts

Chexy is designed for third-party bill payments — rent, utilities, taxes, and corporate payables. It is not a substitute for banking transfers or internal accounting distributions.

🚫 What we don't support

While Chexy is flexible, there are a few types of payments we do not support on our platform:

  • Loan payments
    At this time, Chexy cannot be used for repaying credit cards, personal loans (including Buy Now Pay Later), or other forms of debt.

  • Bank account funding
    We don't support sending money to personal bank accounts, brokerage accounts, or savings accounts. We also don't support currency conversion. Chexy is designed for bill payments only, not for cash advances or account top-ups.
