BipandGo tag

[Bettsy]

Has anyone managed to purchase one of these? I can get to the point where I need to set up SEPA direct debit for subscription and it states my current account provider doesn’t support these payments. I have confirmed it with the bank but as my french is almost nonexistent the phone calls to the company have been fruitless.

I am traveling through France into Spain in a few weeks and as I travel on my own it will be logistically easier to have a tag but it needs to cover both these countries

 

[Solwaybuggier]

Probably not much help - we’ve had a Bip & Go for several years, and it’s paid from our normal bank account. I don’t recall any particular problems in setting it up with Emovis.

Might it be worth asking if they have have English speaking operators?

When I got mine it was at an office at a toll station, but that was years ago when credit cards were accepted. I THINK that toll stations with tag offices are sign posted as you leave the barrier.

When I received my first invoice under SEPA it generated a load of notifications from NatWest. If all else fails you could try when you get to France.
Isn't there a UK subsidiary of SANEF selling tags, and I thought the tunnel could arrange them.

You need to do it from the UK website. I did it about 3 weeks ago and all working fine.
You have to drive right up to the barrier before it bips and lifts - a bit nerve wracking. The 30 limit lanes are actually more relaxing strangely enough as the barrier lifts snd it just bips as you pass underneath.

Just had a read... in English... and I would think a chat online with an English speaker (on the links emjaiuk has put on his post) would be a better option. Honestly not being familiar with this sort of thing , it reads like a foreign language to me.
Let us know what you found out, might be useful for other UK residents wanting to use motorways in France , or Spain or Portugal

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I have taken a slightly different route having lpoked into SEPA direct debits and UK banks. We are still part of the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) after Brexit along with 4 other non euro currency countries. The issue appeared to be that my bank account was not euro based and although banks will make SEPA payments it was the fact that a DD was needed that caused the issue. After gathering information and looking at the length of time that I am intending to be in euro currency countries in the next 12 months I decided to apply for a Starling Bank current account. For me this turned out to be a quick and painless process, all agreed and account opened in a couple of hours, they also didn’t expect set amounts to be paid in each month meaning I was able to set it up alongside my existing current account. This then enabled me to set up a dedicated Euro account which was accepted by BipandGo without any issues. The appeal to me of this card is that I will be easily able to move money between my GBP and Euro accounts via the app and use the same card Whilst traveling.

Note that Starling charge a conversion fee of 0.4% when you send £ to € and vice versa so you might be better converting £ into € via Revolut and then sending them over to your Starling account.

Thanks I will look at that

Interesting but I still don’t understand why I could join Bip&Go 3 weeks ago with a UK GBP bank account snd you weren’t able to … makes no sense at all. By bank is RBS … I wonder if that’s why. The reason I wanted Bip&Go over Emovis was the tiny tag covers 4 countries.

 

[Bettsy]

I don’t know but I am with a different bank and frankly unimpressed by their lack res to my query. Like you I wanted to cover the 4 countries on 1 tag if I could.

Wondering if I have done mine right. Put in my details and my IBAN and BIC on the form. After I clicked done, it took me to the log in page. No email sent to me confirming. I try and do the form again and it says I can’t because I need to use a different number plate and mine must be linked to an account. can anyone help?

You basically need a euro account from a bank based in the EU. I got as around this by opening an account with Wise, who give you a an account based in Belgium, its easily set up online. It works perfectly with Bio N Go direct debits.

 

[RetiredPope]

We use ATMB in France with no monthly fee unless used and Emovis for Spain/Portugal. Just switch the white block as they fit on the same holder.

Meant to say - I used UK RBS account. Subsequently moved to BoS and still ok.

I did sort the issue by getting a euro account through Starling bank which enabled me to set up the direct debit and everything went smoothly from there.

I just tried to subscribe and timed out while attempting to calculate my iban. Now the website won’t accept my license plate number! It just says “enter a different license number”. Any idea?
