What is the RiverLink charge?

A bank statement entry showing RIVERLINK represents a bridge toll payment processed by the all-electronic tolling system managed by RiverLink Tolls. This infrastructure handles toll collection for major bridges connecting Louisville, Kentucky, and Southern Indiana.

This charge appears on your statement because you drove across the Abraham Lincoln Bridge, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge, or the Lewis and Clark Bridge. If you maintain a prepaid transponder account, funds are automatically deducted when crossing. Otherwise, cameras capture your license plate for Pay-by-Plate billing, or you recently paid a mailed invoice online.

To verify your travel history and check account balances, log into your profile on the official RiverLink website. If you do not recognize the toll activity or suspect billing discrepancies, contact customer service directly. Drivers should also remain cautious of fraudulent text message scams falsely claiming unpaid toll balances. Keeping close track of your monthly statements ensures complete financial security and prevents unexpected surprises from recurring charges.

Prepaid Accounts and Invoices

If you have a prepaid RiverLink transponder account, funds are automatically deducted from your bank to cover tolls as you cross.

If you don't have an account, the system uses 'Pay-by-Plate' cameras, and you may have recently paid a mailed invoice online.
