If you register for an eFlow M50 Post pay or Pre pay account, the following payment methods will be accepted on your account:

• Visa/Master credit card
• Visa/Master debit card
• Direct Debit (from SEPA Single Euro Payments Area only)

If you believe that you’ve already paid for a toll journey and received a penalty letter in error, you can appeal your penalty here and one of our agents will review your query.

Please note, your most recent payment may have been used to pay an outstanding balance for an older, unpaid journey. This is intended to help prevent you from reaching higher penalties.

1. Log in to eFlow.ie with your username and password.
2. Click on ‘My Details’ in the account overview section.

For Post-Pay accounts your payment date is displayed under the ‘Invoices and Payments’ heading.  

In the case of pre-pay accounts, we will automatically request a payment from your credit/debit card or direct debit once your balance falls below the account threshold of €12.00. Payment will be taken from your account between the 12^th and 18^th of each month.

At present, it is not possible to change the date when payment will be automatically taken from your eFlow account.

To make a payment against the amount outstanding on your account before your payment date:

1. Go to the ‘Invoices and Payments’ page
2. Select ‘Top Up Payment’
3. Enter your payment amount in the ‘Amount to Pay’ box
4. Select your payment method and select ‘Pay’

This feature is currently not available on eFlow.ie. If you need to change your top-up amount, please contact us and a member of our customer service team will be able to change you top-up amount.

Please note: The minimum top-up amount is €30.00, and the maximum is €1,000.00. If you require a larger top-up amount, please contact us. Your account is automatically topped up once your balance falls under the minimum threshold of €12.00.

Your account has become suspended because we were not able to successfully take payment from your registered payment method on two occasions.

There are two steps to reactivate your eFlow account:

1. Pay off the full outstanding balance.
2. Update the payment details on your account.

To pay the balance on your account, log into your account and click ‘Make Payment’. Once you’ve paid your outstanding fees, click ‘back to my account’. You will be told to add a valid payment method, click ‘ok’ and login in to your eflow account. You will be prompted to update your payment details, click ‘add payment method’. Once your payment method has been successfully updated, click ok. Login to your eflow account to successfully reactivate your account.

Once the full outstanding balance is paid and a valid payment method is added, your account will be no longer be suspended and your tag will become active.

Please note: Due to account suspension, journeys cannot be added to the registered account. If a tag registered account becomes suspended, the tag will become inactive and will not work on the M50 toll or any other toll roads. Any M50 journeys made by your vehicle(s) while your account is suspended will be charged at the unregistered rate. This means that you will have to pay your toll by the following day 8pm deadline to avoid late penalties. At toll booths, you will have to stop and pay at the booth if your account is suspended.

Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) is an EU initiative designed to change the way electronic payments are processed in the EU (including the United Kingdom). This means that making a payment in any SEPA zone country will be no different to making a payment in Ireland.

Previously, direct debits worked by using bank account numbers and sort codes. With SEPA, these are replaced by International Bank Account Number (IBANs) and Bank Identifier Codes (BICs).

For new eFlow customers, or those updating their direct debit payment method, you will need your BIC and IBAN to set up a direct debit with eFlow. You will get these numbers from your bank statements or you can go to the Banking and Payments Federation Ireland to help you generate the details you require.
