How to Get Cash Back on Your Western University bill

What is Western University?

The payee name differs by bank: WESTERN UNIV-TUITION AND RESIDENCE at BMO, RBC, TD and most other listed banks, WESTERN UNIV-TUITION & RESIDE at CIBC and WESTERN UNIV-TUITION RESI at Scotiabank. Western asks you to allow 2 to 3 business days for processing. The math on this page uses $515/month as an example tuition; your own amount will differ, and the cash back scales with it.

Can I Pay Western University With a Credit Card?

Yes, and it's the whole point. Most billers don't reward you for how you pay. Through Neobanc, your card earns its normal rewards and Neobanc adds 1% cash back on top. On a $515/month Western University tuition, that's roughly $185 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same tuition.

The Math on Your Western University Tuition

On a $515/month tuition, a 2% cash-back card returns about $10.30/month, and Neobanc adds $5.15 on top, roughly $185 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.

How do I save the most on my Western University tuition each month?

Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or pre-authorized debit earns nothing; the same tuition through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $185 a year. Late payment penalties are assessed monthly at 1.5% of the overdue balance and added to the account on the last business day of each month. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
