Things you need to know
When you buy or register a go card, you will need to nominate the account holder and the authorised user.
You can also do this for an adult go card, but it is not mandatory.
Account holder (or billing account holder)
This is the person responsible for the fares, fees and other changes. This person will be able to log into the website or call us to make enquiries about the account.

This is the person who uses the go card to travel.
The account holder and authorised user can be the same person, or may be different people, such as a parent (account holder) and child (authorised user).
