Preloaded money sits exposed.
Usable balances may remain available on cards even when the driver does not need to pay a toll.
iWantFuel RoadTap
Introducing iWantFuel RoadTap
Your driver has the card.
You have the control.
Why leave money on a toll card when you know exactly where your truck needs to go? RoadTap keeps the card frozen with no standing funds — until you authorise a specific toll payment.

The problem
Why is your toll money
exposed between trips?
Traditional funded cards can create an open spending opportunity long before — and after — the actual toll transaction.
One card. Too many possibilities.
Lost, stolen or compromised card details can put available funds at risk.
Unwanted extra transactions.
Repeated card presentation or unauthorised purchases can be costly when funds remain accessible.
The details arrive too late.
Without a connected order and transaction trail, investigating toll spending takes longer.
RoadTap starts with a different rule: the card should not carry a standing spendable balance.AUTHORISE → PAY → FREEZE AGAIN
How RoadTap works
Six simple stages.
One controlled toll payment.
Your fleet team decides what to release. The driver gets the means to complete the authorised toll payment.
▣
Allocate the driver a card
Assign a RoadTap Visa card to the driver. Choose a virtual card or order a physical card as needed.
☷
Create the toll order
In iWantFuel, select the driver, the vehicle and the toll gate the vehicle will use.
R
Know the exact toll amount
RoadTap determines the relevant toll cost for the selected gate and vehicle class.
✓
Authorise and release funds
Click Proceed. Only the required amount is made available and the card is temporarily unfrozen.
↗
Driver pays at the gate
The driver is notified immediately and can use the authorised card for the toll transaction.
▤
Record and freeze again
After successful payment processing, the transaction is reflected in iWantFuel and the card is frozen again.
Actual payment, notification and settlement timing can depend on card and network processing. A recorded card payment does not independently verify that a physical boom opened.

The operational advantage
Keep the trucks moving.
Keep spending controlled.
RoadTap is designed around the way transporters actually work: known drivers, known vehicles, specific toll gates and an accountable authorisation before payment.
- ✓Operator-led decisions. Fleet managers authorise the toll instead of maintaining permanently funded driver cards.
- ✓Reduced exposure. Frozen, normally zero-balance cards help limit opportunities for unwanted spending.
- ✓Better accountability. Each toll instruction identifies the driver, vehicle, selected gate and expected cost.
- ✓Connected visibility. Processed transactions appear in the iWantFuel environment for review and reconciliation.
Control by design
Less money exposed.
More decisions in your hands.
RoadTap limits when money is available, and links the authorisation to the transport operation that requested it.
Default-frozen cards
Cards are normally frozen with no standing available balance between authorised toll transactions.
Toll-specific release
The system uses the selected gate and vehicle class to calculate the amount intended for the toll transaction.
Automatic return to frozen
After successful payment processing, available funds are consumed and the card returns to its protected state.
The difference
Not just another toll card.
A different way to manage toll spending.
Traditional preloaded card
May carry a usable balance between journeys
Driver has access to funds already sitting on the card
Compromised card details may expose available money
Spending controls may not be tied to a specific toll order
Reconciling the reason for each charge may take extra work
iWantFuel RoadTap CONTROLLED
Normally zero standing available funds and frozen
Transport operator authorises a purpose-specific amount

Interactive product concept
See the money appear.
Then disappear.
Explore the core RoadTap idea in three stages. The card goes from frozen and empty, to authorised for a specific toll, and back to frozen after the payment.
01 Card frozen. Standing balance R 0.00.
02 Operator approves example toll amount.
03 Successful toll transaction posts. Card freezes.
Demo only. The R 185.00 amount is illustrative, not an actual toll tariff. This page does not connect to card accounts or process payments.

Questions answered
Built for transporters.
Easy to explain.
The central principle is simple: the driver carries the card, but the transport operator controls when funds are available.
Does the RoadTap card hold money all the time?
No. The intended operating model is a frozen card with no standing available balance. When a specific toll order is approved, only the required amount is temporarily made available.
Can I allocate physical and virtual cards?
RoadTap supports the allocation of virtual Visa cards and the ordering of physical cards for drivers, subject to the applicable card-issuing arrangements.
Does iWantFuel know how much the toll should cost?
When the operator selects the toll gate and vehicle, RoadTap determines the relevant toll amount using the vehicle's toll class.
When will the toll appear on my statement?
Once the successful payment transaction is processed and reported to iWantFuel, the transaction is recorded for the relevant account. Actual processing and posting timing can vary.
Does RoadTap make cloning or double-tapping impossible?
No payment method can promise absolute protection. RoadTap is designed to reduce exposure by limiting available funds, narrowing the authorisation window and freezing the card again after payment.
Does a successful card transaction prove the boom opened?
Not by itself. Card-payment confirmation shows a payment was processed; physical boom opening would require separate confirmation from the toll operator or toll-lane system.
