Checkbuscard accepts the 10-digit serial printed on every Abu Dhabi public-transport card and posts credit to the linked account. No app, no queue, no counter visit.
Four pages do the actual work — every other page on this site is documentation. We do not run an account system, we do not store balances, and we never see your card details.

Quick lookup using the serial — returns the current credit attached to your card.
A walkthrough of the three confirmation steps and what each of them does on our side.
If the credit has not posted within 24 hours we initiate the chargeback at our cost.
The flow follows the same three confirmation points every public-transport card top-up uses, in the same order.
| Card serial | •••• •••• •• |
| Mobile | +971 ••• ••• •••• |
| Top-up | AED ••.•• |
| Total | AED ••.•• |
We post credit to a smart card you already own. Buying a new card goes through the issuing transport authority directly.
If the credit does not post within 24 hours and we cannot trace it, the chargeback is initiated at our cost.
Bank-card details are entered on the secure checkout subdomain and stay with the acquirer. Our database keeps only order id and amount.
The serial printed on the front of the Abu Dhabi public-transport smart card. It is the identifier the issuing transport authority uses to link credit to the card account.
Usually within seconds of payment approval. The maximum we tolerate before treating a top-up as undelivered is 24 hours.
Minimum AED 5 per top-up, maximum AED 5,000 per top-up. You can submit a second top-up right after the first one is confirmed.
If the bank charge succeeds but the credit lands on a different card, re-issue requests go through the issuing transport authority. Type the serial slowly.
No. The bank-card form lives on the dedicated checkout subdomain and is handled by a PCI-compliant acquirer. Our side stores only order id, amount and masked last-4.
Open the form, type the 10-digit serial, pay.
