The difference between manual and auto top up
With a Prepaid Account, you can top up your balance manually or with auto top up.
Auto top up
With auto top up, when your balance drops below your auto top up trigger, your linked payment method (bank account or payment card) tops up your account automatically. You can decide how much gets added ($10 minimum) and how low your balance must be before the auto top up payment is triggered ($5 minimum). Your auto top up amount needs to be enough to cover future toll road travel. Make sure your payment details are correct and up to date, so your trips are covered.
Manual top up
With manual top up, you can add credit to your account whenever you want. Just make sure you have enough credit before you travel to cover the cost of any trips you make. To help, you can set a low balance reminder to notify you when your credit’s getting low.
Switching to auto or manual top up
You can select either manual or auto top ups when you log in to your account online or on the Linkt app.
