Registering your TFI Leap Card protects your travel credit or tickets if your card is lost or stolen. Registering also allows you to view your transaction history and register for auto top-up which means you’ll never run out of travel credit and be stuck when you go to make a journey. You can also manage other TFI Leap Cards through your account (for example, your child’s card). Visitor Cards cannot be registered.
