With this option, road users can top up their e-toll account either by visiting an e-toll customer service outlet or via electronic funds transfer (EFT). In both cases road users are not required to provide their banking details.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the automated credit card payment system, account holders regulate their account by setting pre-determined top-up threshold levels. This form of managing automated payments is already widely in use by other organisations. Road users also decide in advance how much their e-toll account should be topped up by. Sanral said it did not determine these levels.<\/p>\n<p>Sanral said tolling was scheduled to commence on April 30, and registration was still open for road users who chose to be e-toll complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sanral speaks out regarding misleasing statements being propagated by some political and civil organisation leaders trying to gather support for their grievances around e-tolling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":340867,"featured_media":37791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[36,6525,2072],"class_list":["post-45229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-active","tag-e-toll","tag-sanral"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/340867"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45229"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45231,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45229\/revisions\/45231"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
