Leap card top-up services at retailers in doubt amid row over commission

Average commission earned by members for Leap card transactions was 50c per transaction in 2019. This has fallen to 39c following the reduction in public transport fares, NTA told

Retailers in Cork, Limerick and Dublin providing Leap Card top-up services will not abide by the apparent new terms and conditions offered to them, and it could mean commuters “will have to go further afield” for such services, it has been warned.

The Convenience Stores & Newsagents Association has written to the National Transport Authority (NTA) to express its displeasure at the commission they would receive under a new contract agreed between An Post and the NTA to deliver Leap retail services.
