Managing Your Business & Personal Account

Hybrid view for business and personal expenses, pricing overview, and how to switch between account types.

Hybrid View Overview

You can access both your business and personal payments under a single login, making it easier to track and manage all your payments without switching accounts.

With this update, you can now:

  • Use one account for both Business and Personal expenses

  • Add up to 10 cards in your Wallet

  • Use any credit card for business payments (personal or business cards accepted)

All personal payments remain at 1.75%, while business payments start at 1.99%. More details are available in the "Pricing overview" section below.

Everything you can do under Business:

  • Send payments via EFT payouts

  • Access higher payment limits

  • Pay employees, contractors, and vendors using Payroll and Supplier payments

Note: Only those with a Business account will see the hybrid view.

How to access hybrid view or get a Business account

A) You already have a Business account

No action is needed. You already have access to hybrid view.

  • Simply log into your account as usual

  • You'll see both Personal and Business tabs on your Home page

  • You can begin managing both types of payments under one login

B) You don't have a Business account

You have two options:

1. Upgrade from your Personal account

  • Go to Settings > Business Account

  • Click Add a business account, then Set up your business

  • Enter your business details and upload a registry document (step-by-step guide)

  • Verification usually takes 24–48 hours on business days. Once verified, you'll see the hybrid view automatically

2. Sign up for a Business account

  • If you don't have a Chexy account yet, you can sign up directly here: https://chexy.co/business

  • Once you've created your account, you'll see the hybrid view automatically

Pricing overview

Which cards can I use? Card rules depend on the payment category, not the price. For business payments, see What types of bills can I pay with Chexy? (Business accounts). For American Express, see Paying bills with an American Express card on Chexy. For personal payments, see Supported Cards & Restrictions.

What's the difference between Personal and Business?

  • Some payments are locked to your Business account by design — tied to either a business credit card or a business-only category (such as payroll or supplier payments), or made to specific business payees.

  • Business cards cannot be used for Personal payments. However, Personal cards can be used for Business payments.

  • Card Splitting is available under your Business account only — not on the personal side of a hybrid account.

Can I switch from a Business account to a Personal account?

Yes, you can switch your Chexy account from Business to Personal at any time.

How to downgrade

  1. Log in to your Chexy account

  2. Go to Settings

  3. Select My Details

  4. Under Account type, choose the option to switch to a Personal account

What to expect when you downgrade

When you move to a Personal account, a few Business-specific features will no longer be available:

  • Business payments: You'll lose access to business tax payments, payroll, and supplier payments

  • Business credit cards: You won't be able to keep or add business credit cards on your account

Before you downgrade

To complete the switch, make sure you:

  • Pause or delete any scheduled business tax, payroll, or supplier payments

  • Remove any business credit cards linked to your account

Aeroplan offers

You'll still remain eligible for any Aeroplan offers you were previously enrolled in.
