Debit & Credit Cards Now Accepted at Select Cardlocks

Anyone Can Now Fuel Up at Anytime! 

We’ve expanded access at two of our cardlock locations, Redonda and McGillivray. These locations are now EMV-enabled, meaning you can fuel up using your debit or credit card, and will no longer need a Co-op fuel card.
Whether you're a commercial driver, a small business operator, or simply passing through, our secure and convenient cardlocks are now more accessible than ever.

Fuel Access Made Easier

Red River Co-op’s cardlocks have long served commercial members with 24/7 fueling. With the introduction of EMV payment technology, we’re opening that same level of convenience to all customers at select sites.

EMV-enabled cardlocks accept:

• Interac Debit
  
• Visa
  
• Mastercard
  
• Corporate Credit Cards
  

A Co-op fuel card is no longer required to access these locations, just tap or insert your card and follow the on-screen instructions.

What is a Cardlock?

A cardlock is an unattended fuel station, designed for quick and efficient fueling. Unlike traditional gas bars, cardlocks do not have on-site staff or convenience stores (except for our Redonda location). They are built for high-clearance vehicles and fleet fueling, but with EMV access, they are now an option for the general public as well.

Key features:

• Open 24/7
  
• Designed for commercial use, but accessible to all
  
• Fast, self-serve fueling
  
• Safety features and surveillance on-site

How to Fuel at an EMV Cardlock

All first-time users at an EMV-enabled cardlock must complete a brief safety orientation. This is required under provincial regulations for self-serve, unattended fueling.

Step 1: Safety Training & Fuel Code

• Tap or insert your debit/credit card at the terminal
  
• Complete the 2-minute safety module

Upon completion, you’ll receive a printed Fuel Code

This code is:

• Valid for 12 months
• Specific to the card and location used
• Required every time you fuel at that location with that card
  

Note: You will need to repeat the safety training if you use a different card or visit another EMV-enabled location.

Step 2: Fueling

Tap Mode (Recommended):

• Tap your card
• Enter your Fuel Code
• Select pump and fuel type
• Begin fueling
• Tap again if you’d like a printed receipt
  

Tap mode pre-authorizes $250. You will only be charged for the actual fuel dispensed.

Card Insert Mode (Pre-set Fill):

• Insert your card
• Select a maximum dollar amount
• Complete the Fuel Code step
• Begin fueling
  

To help prevent overfilling, the system may shut off slightly before the maximum selected amount. You will only be charged for the volume dispensed.
