FAQs

I don’t have a Pre-Paid account, can I use Auto Top-up?

No. Only Pre-Paid account holders can use this new feature, you can apply for a Pre-Paid account here.

Where do I Auto Top-up?

The Auto Top-up page can be found on your account overview, login first with your Pre-Paid account.

How does the Auto Top-up system work?

Our Auto Top-up system ensures that you always have credit in your account. If you register for a Tyne Tunnels Pre-Paid account, you can set up the account so it is automatically topped up from your bank account whenever the level of funds in your account drops below a specified amount. The minimum amount you can specify is £10 when you account falls below £5, but you can set a higher amount if you wish to do so.

Do I have to use the Auto Top-up system?

No. You can still choose to top-up your account yourself, but this way you will run a much greater risk of not having enough money in your account to pay for your passage.

If I use the Auto Top-up system, how much money will it take from my bank when my Pre-Paid account drops below my agreed threshold?

You will be able to choose your own top-up value, though there will be a minimum top-up value of £10 at a minimum thresold of when you account falls below £5. We recommend you choose a value that is roughly equal to the amount you expect to spend on journeys on a monthly basis.

I don’t want to set up Auto Top-up, do I still need to save my card information?

No. Saving your card does not mean you also have to set up Auto Top-up. However, a saved card is needed to set up Auto Top-up. You can continue to top-up as normal with/without a saved card.
