SRTA Partners With BancPass To Give Peach Pass Holders A Cash Reload Option

BancPass announced that it has launched its Pay n Go electronic toll payment service in Georgia through a contract with the State Road and Tollway Authority. The agreement makes BancPass a  licensed Peach Pass vendor, authorizes it to distribute Pay n Go starter kits, and enables Peach Pass account holders to reload their accounts through BancPass’s retailer partner network. The Pay n Go service is designed to provide “under-served and cash-based” customers with the opportunity to have a transponder account and enjoy the benefits of electronic tolling.

The Kansas Turnpike Authority’s August Newsletter suggests that K-TAG customers who prefer dealing in cash and paying tolls as-they-go consider BancPass service as an option. (KTA has partnered with BancPass since 2019.)
