So you finally have an RFID sticker. Congratulations! You now have your RFID account(s), the actual sticker tag, and a physical card. But is your load enough? Whether you are subscribed to one or both RFID service providers — AutoSweep and EasyTrip — you must keep watch of the maintaining balance to avoid delays and inconvenience.

How to check your RFID account balance? For both AutoSweep and EasyTrip subscribers, here’s an overview of the different ways to check your balance:

• AutoSweep: toll gates, official website, mobile app (Android), and SMS
• EasyTrip: toll gates, official website, and mobile app

When you use AutoSweep or EasyTrip at the toll gates, the RFID’s balance is displayed on the monitor or LED screen, along with the cost of the toll fee. But you can’t always rely on this method of checking balance because there’s a chance that you will forget about it or that you already have an insufficient amount.

It’s always a great idea to check your balance prior to your trip. You can do so via mobile app, website, and SMS. These will prompt you to reload ahead of time if you are about to go below the maintaining balance. In this post, we’ll tackle just how to do all these.

If you don’t have an RFID sticker yet, you need to register for one first. READ: HOW TO APPLY FOR RFID! ✅

Reminders

• If you have insufficient balance, the barrier will not activate and might cause inconvenience not just to you but also to those behind you. This might even lead to getting issued a traffic citation/violation ticket for obstruction with at least a P1,000 fine.
• For the cashless transaction adjustment period between December 1 and January 11 (or until further notice), no penalty fee and ticket will be issued for the insufficient balance. But then again, it’s still highly advised to reload before you go below your maintaining balance.
• It’s best to check your balance hours or days before your trip so you can reload immediately when needed and save yourself from the hassle of technological glitches. Remember that mobile apps and online transactions may fail us sometimes.
• Based on personal experience, even if you reload through an e-wallet (GCash/PayMaya) or online payment, the transaction won’t reflect real-time or the RFID scanner will fail to read/detect it.
• If for some reason you failed or forgot to reload before leaving home, the staff manning the toll gate will ask for your RFID card. The amount that you lacked for that transaction will be deducted from the amount of your next reload.
