Pay your tolls with direct debit
You can set up direct debit payments by linking your bank details when you log in to your account online or on the Linkt app.
When you pay with direct debit, you avoid the payment card surcharge.

If you have a Prepaid Account and it’s set with manual top up, you’ll have to switch to auto top up before you can use direct debit.

If your direct debit payment fails
Direct debit payments may fail if:
- Your BSB or account account are incorrect or aren't up to date
- You don't have enough money in your bank account to cover the direct debit amount
After the first failed attempt, we'll notify you by email and will try to make the payment again in 2–3 days. Direct debit payments may take 3–5 business days to be processed.
If a second attempt fails, your direct debit details will be removed and your account will be temporarily suspended.
If you travel while your account is suspended, you'll receive a toll invoice for any trips you make during that time, which includes additional admin fees.
How to keep your account active
