What is the MINNESOTA* MNPASS charge?

Why MnPASS / E-ZPass MN appears on your statement

The statement descriptor MINNESOTA* MNPASS indicates an automatic replenishment charge from E-ZPass Minnesota, managed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation for express lane toll usage across Twin Cities metro highways.

Drivers using electronic toll lanes on routes such as Interstate 394, Interstate 35W, and Interstate 35E maintain a prepaid account balance rather than paying per trip at a traditional toll booth. The billing system automatically charges your saved debit or credit card whenever your balance drops beneath the low-balance threshold, which defaults to ten dollars. This automated reload transaction replenishes your account with a standard preset amount, such as twenty dollars, to ensure uninterrupted access to express lanes.

To investigate this transaction, log in to your profile on the official E-ZPass Minnesota website to review precise toll gantry timestamps, active transponder device serial numbers, and account replenishment history. If you sold a vehicle, returned a transponder, or believe a toll charge posted in error, you can reach out directly to customer service agents to dispute the fee or close your prepaid account for a remaining balance refund.
