A transponder is a very useful thing that allows you not to waste time paying for toll roads. Just attach the device to the windshield and the scanner will automatically debit you for the required amount. There are many ways to top up this device. This article will focus on exactly this.
Topping up your transponder account at sales centers
This is the slowest way to pay for a transponder. You can top up your device account either in cash or by credit card at any sales and service center. The operation is very simple - tell the cashier the transponder or contract number, choose the payment method and you're done.
Top up your transponder account online
Of course, you can also top up your device online. There are several ways, depending on which payment method you want to use:
- Online wallets. To top up your device, you can use all the major online wallets that operate in Russia (WebMoney, YandexMoney, Qiwi). To complete the operation, you need to register on the toll roads website and create your account. After registration, you must go to your personal account, which will provide instructions on how to top up your device with electronic money.
- If you are a client of Sberbank, then you can make a payment through the Sberbank website or its mobile application. To do this, you need to log into your online banking account and select payment for toll roads in the service payments section. The “Autopayment” service is also available for transponders. You can also top up your account through Tinkoff, Rosbank, Finservice, Lipetsk Bank.
- You can also fill out the transponder directly on the Avtodor toll road website itself, without any registration. To do this, follow the link and follow the instructions.
Top up via mobile phone
In order to top up the transponder via a mobile phone, you need to dial the USSD code, which looks like this: *390*1*1# . By typing this code, you will have to go through a short registration procedure, after which you will be able to check and fill out your transponder account at any convenient time.
Replenishment via ATMs
Eleksent ATMs are quite common on the streets. They are found throughout Russia, in every city. You can fill the device for quick and convenient passage through the toll road checkpoint using this ATM.
Refill at Lukoil gas station
You can instruct the operator to refuel not only your car, but also the transponder. To do this, you again need to provide the device or contract number. This is very convenient, because the Lukoil gas station is located in front of many checkpoints.
As you may have noticed, there are a lot of ways. Choose the one that suits you best. And if you use toll roads and still don't have a transponder, be sure to purchase one.
The Avtodor transponder is a small device that transmits reception and provides the opportunity for non-stop high-speed travel at toll points. Such a device must be installed on the windshield of the vehicle. To make a quick payment, you just need to reduce your speed to 20-30 km/h, and the money will be debited from your personal account automatically.
Such a transponder is perfect for all toll sections of the M-4 Don highway, the toll section km 258 - km 334 (bypass of Vyshny Volochok), the M-11 Moscow - St. Petersburg highway and the toll section of the M-3 Ukraine highway km 124 - km 173 .

Transponder capabilities If you change your mind about wasting time in queues at toll booths, then purchase an Avtodor transponder at the following sales points:
1. Online store;
2. Sales and service centers;
3. At gas stations of partner networks;
4. Cafe of the "Mcafe" chain on the section km 258 - km 330 of the M-11 "Moscow - St. Petersburg" highway (bypassing the city of Vyshny Volochok).
Avtodor sales and service center To personalize the device, you will need to provide your passport and contact information. Next, you need to pay for the transponder costing 1000 rubles and activate it by making a minimum advance payment of 500 rubles. If you buy a device at gas stations of partner networks, then its price may differ from the cost of the Avtodor transponder in sales centers and online stores.
The transponder can be borrowed; for this you will need to draw up a contract for paid use at any Sales and Service Center. 
Avtodor transponder
After purchasing a transponder, you will need to check the status of your personal account before each trip. This is due to the fact that if you do not have enough money on your transponder, you will not be able to pass through the toll booth. If you see that there is a small amount left, then top up your account.
You can top up your Avtodor transponder account in the following ways:
1. By bank card in your personal account;
2. At Sales and Service Centers;
3. Through instant payment terminals and Eleksnet online services.

This can be done at any time convenient for you through your personal account on the official website of Avtodor-Toll Roads or in the Sales and Service Center.
Non-personalized Avtodor transponder cannot be returned or exchanged. In case of loss, it is not restored (in accordance with the Regulations for payment for services). If you think that personalizing a transponder is not so important, then you are greatly mistaken.
Transponder personification An unpersonalized device loses the following advantages:
1. There is no possibility of “linking” the device with a valid personal account;
2. It is not possible to combine 2 or more devices with one personal account;
3. If you replenish your personal account by mistake, a refund is not possible.

As an alternative to contact payment at the Toll Point, drivers can use a transponder by signing a contract for it. You can top up your device balance and monitor its usage statistics through your WHSD personal account. The device is mounted inside the vehicle in the area behind the far-view mirror; funds are debited automatically when passing a payment point at a slow speed, without interaction with the operator.

By creating a personal WHSD account, the owner of the transponder makes it easier for himself to use the device. The service is useful due to the following functions:

- from the balance of your personal mobile account;
- from the QIWI electronic system wallet;
- from Yandex wallet.
- Tracking the history of completed trips.

- Contract number.
- The amount of the transfer in rubles.
- Replenishment method.
- Cell phone number.
Registration and login to your personal account
You can go to the WHSD personal account section by clicking on the item with the portfolio icon in the first tab of the menu displayed on all pages of the site.
To work with a personal account, an existing client needs to obtain a password on the website using the contract numbers, transponder and contact information - email or phone number; all this data has already been registered in the system automatically.
The user will be allowed into the closed service WHSD personal account after specifying the username, password and clicking the “Login” button. For each authorization, you must enter the characters from the picture - the procedure is necessary to protect the system from bots.
How to pay for an M4 transponder through Sberbank Online? This is a very relevant question that many drivers ask. In our material we will tell you about payment methods for M4 and WHSD transporters.
Toll roads are gradually appearing in our country. They have a number of advantages:
- High-quality road surface has been laid.
- You can travel at optimal speed.
- There is no need to be afraid of getting your wheel into a hole.
- You can quickly get to your destination.
But when creating toll roads, the question arose about how to make payments. For example, in Europe, money is deposited in cash or by card at a checkpoint. But the disadvantage of this method is that each person must spend some time paying, which results in a decrease in the checkpoint throughput.
In Russia, a modern method was proposed - using a conveyor and contactless payments. This is a very convenient method that saves a lot of time.
The disadvantage of this method is that you need to buy equipment and control the current account balance. It also needs to be topped up from time to time to pay for travel. But this option is still much more convenient than depositing money in cash or directly from a card.

A transponder (another name is T-pass) is a device that is installed on a car and is used to automatically pay for toll roads. In this case, contactless payment technology is used, which provides for the establishment of communication between the device and the gearbox antenna while the vehicle is moving at low speed.
The number of toll sections of highways in Russia is increasing every year, so the number of regularly used transponders is also growing steadily. Naturally, in order for payment to be collected without problems, the balance of the device must be periodically replenished. Quite often, the popular Sberbank Online service is used for this.
