About The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee

The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee is an Australian drive-through café franchise based in Dubbo, New South Wales, focused on fast, barista-made coffee and convenient grab-and-go food for commuters. They typically serve espresso coffee, specialty coffees, teas, iced drinks, smoothies or frappes, and a range of light food such as breakfast items, toasties, sandwiches, pastries and snacks. Customers usually order from their cars, pay at the drive-thru window, and collect their drinks and food within a few minutes—making it a popular stop for morning and afternoon commuters.

A charge from “The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee” (or a similar descriptor like “FAST LANE COFFEE DUBBO” or “TFL COFFEE”) on your bank statement is most commonly for a one-time purchase made at their drive-through or café location. This can include coffee, food, or combos, and may appear as a single low-value amount or several small amounts if multiple separate orders were made on the same day. If you used a contactless payment (tap-and-go), mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.), or saved your card via an online ordering platform they partner with, the statement text might include the café name plus the payment processor. In some cases, you might also see a small pending or pre-authorisation amount if your bank momentarily verifies the card when using certain digital wallets or in-car payment systems.

To verify or resolve questions about a Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee charge, start by checking your recent visits—especially early mornings, school runs, and commute times—plus any receipts or email confirmations you may have saved. Compare the date and amount on your statement with your memory of purchases (for example, a couple of coffees and a snack in the AUD $10–$30 range). If the charge still doesn’t look familiar, visit their website at tfl.coffee to find the specific store’s contact details or contact form, and provide the transaction date, exact amount, and the name as it appears on your bank statement so staff can look it up in their point-of-sale system. If you suspect a card error or fraud and the café can’t locate the transaction, contact your bank to dispute the charge or request a card replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee on my bank statement?

This charge usually relates to a one-time purchase of coffee, drinks, or food made at one of The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee locations, most often via tap-and-go or a debit/credit card. Review where you were on the transaction date—many people forget quick drive-through stops during busy commutes or school runs. The statement descriptor may appear as “FAST LANE DRIVE THRU COFFEE,” “TFL COFFEE,” or similar, sometimes followed by the suburb or a payment processor name.

What are typical charge amounts from The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee?

Most individual transactions are relatively small, often in the range of about AUD $5–$10 for a single coffee, and around AUD $10–$30 when food items or multiple drinks are included. If you see several smaller Fast Lane charges on the same day, it could be multiple separate visits (for example, morning and afternoon) or separate transactions for different people in the car. Always compare the amount on your statement to what you’d expect for coffees, breakfast items and snacks at a café.

Can The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee place an authorization hold or pending charge on my card?

In most cases, your bank will show a single pending amount equal to your purchase total when you tap or insert your card. Occasionally, if you use a mobile wallet or certain bank cards, a small temporary pre-authorisation may appear separately as part of your bank’s card verification process. These holds should drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the final settled purchase from The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee purchase?

If you need a receipt, first check whether you received a printed receipt at the window or an email receipt through a digital wallet or bank app. If you no longer have it, contact the specific Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee store (or use the contact details at tfl.coffee) and provide the date, approximate time, amount, and the last 4 digits of the card used so they can search their till records. Many stores can reprint or email a copy of the receipt for business or personal records.

How do I dispute a charge or request a refund from The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee?

Start by contacting the store directly—either by phone or via the contact options listed on tfl.coffee—and explain the issue (for example, incorrect amount charged, duplicate transaction, or an item not received). Have your transaction details ready, including date, time, exact amount and how the charge appears on your statement, so staff can find it in their system. If the café confirms an error, they can usually process a refund back to the original payment method; if they cannot locate the transaction or you suspect fraud, contact your bank to raise a formal dispute.

Can I cancel or stop recurring payments to The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee?

The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee typically operates on one-off, in-person purchases rather than subscriptions, so you should not normally see recurring monthly fees from them. If your statement suggests a repeating pattern of charges and you’re sure you didn’t make those purchases (for example, similar amounts every week or month without visiting), contact the business with your transaction details to confirm. If they confirm there is no account or tab in your name, reach out to your bank to block the card and investigate possible unauthorized use.

Why does the merchant name on my statement look different from “The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee”?

Card statements often shorten or abbreviate business names, so you might see versions like “FAST LANE COFFEE,” “FAST LANE DUBBO,” or “TFL COFFEE” instead of the full trading name. Sometimes the descriptor can also include the location or the name of the payment processor. If the name looks similar and the date and amount align with a café visit, it is likely The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee.

How can I contact The Fast Lane Drive-Thru Coffee about a charge I don’t recognize?

Visit their website at tfl.coffee to find the relevant store’s contact information or a general contact form. When you reach out, include the transaction date, exact amount, the name as it appears on your bank statement, and the last 4 digits of your card so they can search their records. Avoid sharing your full card number or sensitive banking information by email or social media; if needed, ask to speak to a manager by phone to discuss the transaction securely.
