FBCL Expands Payment Options at Blue Water Bridge

The Federal Bridge Corporation Limited (FBCL) is excited to announce a significant enhancement to its toll payment options at the Blue Water Bridge (BWB). Effective immediately, travelers crossing into the U.S. can now use both American Express (AMEX) and Discover credit cards for all toll transactions. This move not only simplifies the payment process but also addresses direct feedback received from users who expressed a desire for more flexible payment methods.

A Response to Traveler Needs

Karen Richards, the Chief Operating Officer of FBCL, emphasized their commitment to customer satisfaction. “We have listened closely to our travelers' requests for additional card options,” she stated. The acceptance of AMEX and Discover means that drivers can now enjoy a quicker, more convenient crossing experience. This update aligns with FBCL’s ongoing efforts to modernize toll services, ensuring that both commuters and commercial vehicle operators can benefit from a more seamless process.

Benefits of the New Payment Options

The introduction of AMEX and Discover provides several advantages for users. Notably:

• - Cash-Free Transactions: There is no longer a need to carry cash for tolls, simplifying the travel experience.
• - ConneXion Compatibility: Users can link their AMEX or Discover cards to a ConneXion account, which offers discounted rates and efficient online tracking of balances, further expediting the crossing process.

Why Choose ConneXion?

Subscribing to the ConneXion service provides users with multiple benefits:

• - Reduced Rates: Users can save money compared to standard credit or cash payments.
• - Contactless Payments: The convenience of contactless transactions enhances the overall travel experience, making it faster and more efficient.
• - Online Management: Users can easily manage their accounts online, reviewing transactions and balancing their toll account conveniently.
• - Simple Sign-Up: Interested travelers can learn more and register via federalbridge.ca/connexion.

FBCL’s decision to integrate AMEX and Discover reflects a broader commitment to upgrading their services and improving user experience at the Blue Water Bridge. By doing so, they are assuring travelers that technology and customer feedback will remain central to their operational strategy.
