Yes! We offer the option to Pay by Bank (ACH), a convenient and secure way to pay for your Backroads trip directly from your checking or savings account. You’ll also save 1% on all Pay by Bank transactions, including standard deposits and total trip payments.* Please note: Pay by Bank is only available as an option online through your Backroads Account; bank details cannot be shared or entered over the phone for call-in bookings.
*Pay by Bank is not available for all transactions, including deposit payments for trips requested online.
How to Use Pay by Bank:
- Select Pay by Bank When Making a Payment: When making a payment online, select Pay by Bank as your payment method (when available).
- Enter Your Account Information: If you do not have a previously saved bank account on file, you’ll be prompted to enter your bank’s routing number and your account number for the checking or savings account you wish to use. Your account will be saved as your default payment method for future payments (learn more about changing your payment method online).
- Save on Every Transaction: A 1% savings will apply to the total of each transaction made with Pay by Bank at time of payment (not available for all transactions, including online trip request deposits). When selecting Pay by Bank, your Backroads Account will show a total savings that reflects the estimated amount saved when using Pay by Bank for all remaining balances due.
- Credit Card Exclusions: If you use a credit card for your deposit or any part of your payment, those transactions will not qualify for the 1% savings (this applies to any non-Pay by Bank transactions).
