Amended Regulations for Police Fines Imposition in Croatia Announced
Starting July 1, 2022, paying traffic fines in Croatia with good old-fashioned cash will be a thing of the past. The Ministry of the Interior (MUP) is switching to cashless collection of fines via POS devices.
To facilitate this change, MUP has procured 600 POS devices and deployed them across police departments in Croatia. Officers are currently undergoing training to use these devices effectively. By implementing this new system, MUP aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and adhere to the recommendations of the Council of Europe's 5th Evaluation Circle of GRECO – an organization dedicated to preventing corruption and improving the control and supervision of the existing system of payment of fines to police officers.
If you're caught breaking traffic rules and don't have a bank card to pay the fine, don't sweat it. Police officers will issue a Notice of Misdemeanor, giving you three days to pay the reduced fine (half of the original amount) and provide proof of payment. If you manage to do so, your fine will be considered paid, despite the absence of a bank card.
For a smoother experience, it's always a good idea to have your bank card handy when out and about. Although the new system discourages cash payments, they are still an option for paying immediate fines on the spot, grabbing a discount in the process.

Recent search insights:
- In Croatia, if a person does not have a bank card, there are still options for paying traffic fines:
- Immediate on-the-spot payment (including cash): It’s possible to pay fines up to €380 immediately at the scene of the offense by paying cash directly to the traffic officer or at a designated payment point.
- Payment after receiving a Misdemeanour Order: Fines can be paid within a set deadline after receiving an official Misdemeanour Order. While online and card payment options are available, it is usually possible to pay such fines in person at banks, post offices, or municipal offices in cash.
- Avoiding court to maintain discounts: The new system encourages early payment to receive a one-third discount, which is only available if paying before a court case. If going to court, the full fine must be paid, so early payment methods, including cash payments, are preferable.
- No specific alternative payment methods such as checks or mobile payment apps without linked bank cards were explicitly mentioned in search results, but the on-the-spot cash payment and paying fines at official locations in person without a bank card remain reliable options.
To pay traffic fines in Croatia starting July 1, 2022, digital payment methods via POS devices will be required. The Ministry of Interior (MUP) has implemented a new system to enhance transparency, efficiency, and adhere to the recommendations of GRECO, an organization dedicated to preventing corruption. If you don't have a bank card and receive a Misdemeanor Order, you can still pay the reduced fine within the given deadline and provide proof of payment. To ensure a smoother experience, having a bank card handy is beneficial, but immediate on-the-spot fines can also be paid with cash.
