Afterpay payment plan

Pay your fine in 4 instalments over 6 weeks with no interest or extra fees. 

You'll need an Afterpay account to pay this way. 

Select 'Pay online now' and enter your ticket details. Choose 'Afterpay' as your payment type.

Afterpay pays Auckland Transport (AT) the fine in full at the start, then allows you to pay the remainder back through their service.

Afterpay is a third-party payment provider. Your payment plan is agreed with Afterpay, not AT directly.

For more information on how it works, visit the Afterpay website.

Zip payment plan

Pay in 4 equal instalments over 6 weeks using Zip. No interest or fees.

You'll need a Zip account to pay this way.

Select 'Pay online now' and enter your ticket details. Choose 'Zip' as your payment type.

You'll be prompted to log in to your existing Zip account or create a new one. Confirm payment with the credit or debit card that is linked to your Zip account.

The first payment is processed immediately, and the remaining payments are made fortnightly at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks after that.

Zip is a third-party payment provider. Your payment plan is agreed with Zip, not AT directly.

Pay in person

Fines can be paid in person at New Zealand Post shops anywhere in New Zealand.

Find your nearest NZ Post shop (opens in new tab).

Note that Auckland Transport no longer accepts payment by post.

When you pay in person, take your ticket with you as it has the payment barcode printed on it.

You need your ticket to manage your fine online

You must enter both your infringement number on your ticket and your licence plate number (vehicle registration plate) to manage your fine online.

This is to make sure your information is secure and cannot be accessed by anyone except the person with the ticket.

If you have lost your ticket, please contact us.

If you cannot afford to pay

Fine amounts are set by the government, not AT. AT does not have the authority to reduce the amount of your fine.

If you cannot afford to pay the full fine at once, you can use Zip or Afterpay to pay it off in instalments. AT does not offer any other payment plans except Zip and Afterpay.

Alternatively, you can request a court hearing and ask them to consider your financial situation. The court can decide what fine you should pay, which could be more or less than the original fee. Court costs will also be added to your fine.

Find out more about requesting a court hearing.

What happens if you do not pay

Payment is due 28 days from the date your infringement notice (ticket) is served. If you don't pay or request a court hearing by then, you'll be sent a reminder. This gives you another 28 days to pay.

If you do not pay or request a court hearing before the final date for payment, AT may refer the matter to Baycorp. Baycorp will contact you to arrange payment, which can include paying it off in instalments.

Once the ticket has been referred to Baycorp, all payment arrangements should be done through them.

Why fines are issued

Issuing tickets helps to keep our city moving by encouraging people to do the right thing on the road, water and public transport.

As Auckland's population grows, it's our job to make sure everyone can get where they need to go safely and smoothly.

Rules and restrictions are an important part of creating a resilient network that can handle a greater number of transport users. Some of this includes:

• bus and transit lane rules to ease congestion
• parking restrictions to create fairness for all road users
• maritime bylaws to ensure safety for all on the water.

Where your money goes

The money collected from fines goes to Auckland Council to be managed. It can then be allocated to support transport work such as:

• public transport improvements
• parking facility and road safety upgrades
• walking and cycling initiatives.

Auckland Council can also allocate funding toward libraries, the zoo, parks and community centres across the region.
