2. How does the Reload Card work?

Simply hand your new card to the cashier and pay your initial reload amount from $10 to $500, plus the $1.50 retailer convenience fee. Once the cashier completes the transaction, the funds will be on the card but need to be transferred to your E-ZPass account by linking the card to your account. To do this, follow the steps on the back of the card - call our toll-free number at 1-855-583-5306 and have your card and transponder number available. After following the instructions, the funds will be immediately credited to your linked E-ZPass account*.
