BancPass recommends that you replace any Sticker beginning with HCTR that you are currently using. When you upgrade your Toll Sticker by purchasing a new $20 Starter Kit, your BancPass account will be reimbursed for the full purchase price. *** After August 31, 2024, local toll authorities may charge all BancPass HCTR Toll Stickers the higher “cash rate” for tolls instead of the discounted “tag rate.” The transition to this new Sticker ensures that you will continue to pay the discounted “tag rate” for tolls and will also allow you to pay for tolls nationwide (on toll roads that read transponder/tags).
What do you need to do?
- Go to one of the BancPass Retailers and purchase a $20 BancPass Toll Sticker Package or go online and buy one at BancPass.com.
- Register your license plate, exactly the same as your existing plate, to your account. You may do this via text activation or by calling us. If you text for activation, make sure to send the text from the phone number associated with your BancPass account.
- ***The $20 Starter Kit purchase price will be credited to your account in addition to any balance that you currently have on your HCTR Sticker; this makes your new Sticker effectively free. All moneys spent on the new Starter Kit go into your BancPass account balance.
- Replace your old Sticker with the new one and discard the old Reload Card.
