Checking your SmartRider balance

Here’s how you can find out how much value you have remaining on your SmartRider card at anytime.

There are a number of ways you can check your SmartRider balance, but there are a few things you should know.

Any time you check your balance via My Account, the Transperth app, SMS or the InfoLine, your balance will be up to 24 hours (one day) behind.

However, the live balance of your card is available if you're checking it at an InfoCentre, Retail Sales Outlet, when tagging on or off, or using an add value machine.

You can find more information on each method below.
