Switch from auto to manual payments
You can switch from making auto to manual payments any time by following these steps:
When adding or updating a payment card online using manual payments, you'll need to make a minimum payment of $0.50.
Log in to your account.
Select Payment details.
Select Manual top-up.
Choose your low balance alert level.
Click Update.
You’ll be prompted to confirm you’re happy with your changes. Select Yes, I’m sure.
Low balance
If you're topping up manually, it's important to do so before your balance runs out. If you travel after your balance runs out you may receive a toll invoice and charged additional fees. When your balance is low, your tag will warn you by beeping 3 times whenever you pass through a toll point.
Open the Linkt app.
Select Manage auto top-up.
Select Change.
Tap Manual top up.
Choose your low balance alert level.
Choose whether or not you’d like to receive a push notification when your balance is low.
Tap Save.

Manual and auto top-ups explained
With Linkt account, you can top up your balance manually or with auto top up.
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 alert to notify you when your credit is getting low.
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.
Choosing your payment method
Choosing your payment method may depend on how you wish to pay.
- Cash and BPAY payments can only be made with manual top up
- Direct debit can be only be used with auto top up
