About the TfWM app

Please note: If you have an older device, you may experience some slower loading times.  

For Swift customers, account switching is not available yet within the TfWM App. 

You can use the TfWM app for a wide range of things, such as: 

  • Login and manage your Swift account 
  • Top up 
  • Purchase a product 
  • Collect your purchase 
  • View your active and expired tickets 
  • Use the map to locate your closest mode of transport 
  • Use the journey planner 
  • View the latest departure information for bus, train and tram 

Child Swift Photocards

Please note, managing your Child photocard is currently unavailable in the TfWM app. If you wish to make a purchase or anything else relating to your Child photocard, please go to the TfWM website using an internet browser. If you would like to set up a child account, you can still do this online. 

Child Swift photocards - These cards are for children under 15 years. All child season tickets go on to this type of card. 

You can get one online when you buy a child ticket. You can use our ticket finder or the National Express West Midlands website. 

They are not available: 

  • From Payzone shops 
  • When you buy a ticket on the TfWM app 
  • At Swift ticket machines 
  • From rail stations 

In order to manage your child photocard, simply log in to your account that it's linked to. 

If you try and register your child photocard, you will receive an error message that says 'this card belongs to someone else'. This is because the child photocard is already registered to your account and doesn't need to be registered separately.

Collecting a Swift product using the app

You can use the TfWM app to collect credit and tickets to your Swift card.

When you collect using the app, make sure you:

  • have a phone that supports near field communication (NFC) and that NFC is switched on
  • hold the Swift card in the right place for your phone - this is usually on the top half of the back of your phone but may vary by device. If this doesn’t work, try moving the card and placing it on another part on the back of your phone to find the correct location. If this doesn’t work, do the same on the front of your phone.
  • are connected to the internet on your phone
  • hold the Swift card against your phone for 10 seconds
  • do not have a case that blocks the signal between your phone and Swift card

Near Field Communication (NFC) is required so that your phone can read and update your Swift card. You must have NFC to use the Swift Collector.

If this does not work, please contact us.
