Mobile application: balance control on the go
For drivers who value their time and are on the road, the optimal solution would be to install the official mobile application. This tool allows you to check your balance literally in one click, without opening the browser and without entering your login and password every time, since biometric authorization or login is used Face ID.

| Function | Website | Mobile application |
|---|---|---|
| View your balance | Available | Available |
| Auto replenishment | Settings | Settings |
| Travel history | Full | Full |
| Tariff change | Available | Available |
| Work offline | No | Partially (cache) |
It is worth considering that an active Internet connection is required for the application to work. If you are in an area with poor signal reception, the data may not update immediately. In such cases, you should trust more the readings of the terminal at the operator’s desk, if there is one, or double-check the information when the network appears.
Verification via SMS and instant messengers
Not all drivers have the opportunity or desire to use a smartphone with the Internet to check their account. For such cases, alternative communication channels are provided, such as SMS requests and popular instant messengers. This is especially true in regions with unstable mobile network coverage or for users of push-button phones.
To receive information via SMS, you need to send a short message with a specific code to a special number indicated on the back of the transponder or on the operator’s website. The response message will contain information about the current balance and, possibly, recent transactions. The service may be paid in accordance with the tariffs of your mobile operator.
⚠️ Attention: Never share codes from SMS with strangers and do not follow links from suspicious messages supposedly on behalf of Avtodor. Official SMS contain only reference information and do not require navigation to external resources.
A more modern and convenient way is to use bots in instant messengers such as Telegram or Viber. The official bot allows you not only to find out your balance, but also to quickly top up your account using built-in payment systems. To activate, just find the official bot by company name and link your personal account.
Using instant messengers is convenient because the correspondence history is saved, and you can always go back to see how much money was in your account yesterday or a week ago. In addition, bots often work faster than the mobile version of the site, consuming less traffic.
- 📲 Quick access to information without installing heavy applications.
- 💬 Possibility of dialogue with an automatic assistant to solve simple questions.
- 🔔 Receive notifications about a critical balance decrease directly in the chat.
When using SMS services, it is important to format the request correctly. Typically you will need to enter the word BALANCE or the number 1 followed by your account or transponder number. Errors in input may result in the system not recognizing the command or displaying information on someone else's account if the number matches by chance.
Calling the contact center and voice services
The traditional way to obtain information remains a telephone call. The hotline number is indicated on all transponders, payment cards and the official website. Call center operators work around the clock and can provide up-to-date information about the account status after the callers identification procedure.
To receive data over the phone, you will need to provide your personal account or transponder number, and possibly answer a security question or give the code from SMS to confirm your identity. This is a security measure designed to protect your financial funds from unauthorized access by third parties.
☑️ Preparing for a support call
An automated voice response (IVR) can announce your balance immediately after entering your account number on the phone's touch-tone keypad, without waiting for a live operator to connect. This speeds up the process significantly, especially during peak hours when lines can be overloaded.
However, it is worth remembering that calls to 8-800 can only be free from mobile phones of certain operators or from landline numbers. Calls from mobile phones may be charged according to your tariff plan, so when roaming or with limited minutes it is better to use Internet channels.
If you are calling from a foreign number, be sure to use the country code and the correct dialing format. Operators can also help if the system shows discrepancies or a technical error occurred when debiting funds.
Self-service terminals and points of sale
For those who prefer cash payments or do not trust online payments, there is a network of self-service terminals and sales offices. At such points, located at gas stations, in supermarkets or specialized offices of the Avtodor Group of Companies, you can not only top up your account, but also check its balance.
In the terminals, you must select the appropriate operator (Avtodor), enter your personal account number, or attach the transponder to the reader if the terminal is equipped with an NFC module. The screen will display your current balance, after which you can deposit cash. The receipt issued by the terminal is a document confirming the transaction, and it is recommended to save it.
⚠️ Attention: When paying through third-party terminals (not directly owned by Avtodor), an additional commission may be charged. Always pay attention to the amount due before confirming the transaction.
At the sales and service offices on the highways (“Avtodor-Toll Roads”), employees will help you check your balance, print out details and resolve complex issues that require personal presence. Here you can replace a faulty transponder or get advice on tariffs.
The use of physical payment acceptance points is especially important for corporate clients who deposit funds through a cash register and need paper receipts for reporting. However, this method is the least efficient, as it requires physical movement and takes time.
Setting up auto top-up: forget about checking your balance
The most effective way to stop constantly thinking about how to check your balance is to set up an automatic replenishment feature. This option is available in your Personal Account and mobile application. You set a threshold amount, upon reaching which the system will automatically debit money from the linked card.
For example, you can set a condition: “If the balance drops below 500 rubles, automatically top up by 2000 rubles.” Thus, your account will always have a reserve of funds for travel, and the risk of going into the red or receiving a fine is reduced to zero. This is especially convenient for those who often travel on toll roads.
Auto top-up ensures your transponder is always active, even if you forget to check your balance before a long trip.
To activate the service, you need to link a bank card (Visa, Mastercard, MIR) to your account. The system uses secure encryption protocols, so storing card data is safe. You can change the auto-top up amount or disable the service in the settings at any time.
In addition, auto-replenishment often entitles you to an additional discount on tariffs, since the operator sees you as a reliable and solvent customer. This makes the use of toll roads even more economically beneficial.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How to find out your personal account number if you don’t have a card at hand?
Your personal account number can be found in the agreement that you signed when receiving the transponder, in SMS notifications from the operator about previous top-ups, or in your Personal Account if you remember your login details. The number is also indicated on the first page of the monthly invoice (if you receive it by email).
Why is the balance not updated immediately after the trip?
Funds are written off not at the moment the frame is crossed, but after the data is processed by video detectors and verified with the database. This process can take from several minutes to 24 hours, depending on the system load and the quality of license plate recognition.
Is it possible to check the balance of someone else's transponder?
No, checking the balance and managing the account is possible only after the owner has authorized or has access to his Personal Account. This is done for the safety of the user's financial funds.
What to do if the balance goes into minus?
It is necessary to top up your account as soon as possible with the amount owed plus a minimum reserve for further trips. If the balance is negative for too long, the operator can block the transponder and add the car number to the stop list, which will lead to fines when driving.
Where can I see my spending history for the past year?
Full details of expenses can be downloaded in the “Finance” or “Transaction History” section in your Personal Account on the official website. There you can select a period (for example, from January 1 to December 31) and generate a report in Excel or PDF format.
