Anyone Can 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, in addition to your 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, & Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.)

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 everyone.

Key Features
• Open 24/7
• Fast, self-serve fueling
• Accessible by All
• 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 to ensure all users are familiar with safety protocols and their obligations when using an unattended fueling station.

Step 1: Safety Training & Fuel Code

  • Tap or insert your debit/credit card at the terminal
  • Complete the 1 minute safety module

Upon completion, you’ll receive a printed Fuel Code

This code is:

  • Valid for 12 months, at which point you must repeat training
  • Specific to this location and the method of payment 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. If you lose your Fuel Code you will be able to receive another one by taking the training once again

Step 2: Fueling

Tap Mode
Card Insert Mode
 • Tap your card

  • Insert your card
   Enter your Fuel Code

  • Enter Fuel Code
 • Enter your Pump Number

  • Select $ Value
 • Enter your Member Number

  • Select Dispenser
 • Begin Fueling

  • Enter Member #
 • Tap again if you’d like a receipt

  • Begin Fueling


Tap mode pre-authorizes $250. You will only be charged for the actual fuel dispensed. To help prevent overfilling, the system may shut off slightly before the maximum selected amount. You will only be charged for the volume dispensed.

To commence the flow of fuel:
 • Once authorized at the card reader
 • Attend the pump
 • Place nozzle in your vehicle
 • Lift the fuel nozzle cradle (the nozzle holder on the dispenser) as this is a switch to allow fuel to flow
 • Depress the handle on the nozzle and begin fueling


Note: Each dispenser is designated for a fuel type, so please select the desired dispenser. Only Regular and Diesel fuel available.


Site Safety & Security

All Red River Co-op cardlocks are:

  • Well-lit and monitored 24/7
  • Equipped with emergency phones and spill response tools
  • Fully compliant with provincial fueling regulations

Our goal is to provide a safe, secure, and efficient fueling experience for every driver.
