Balances from the old system will automatically be transferred over.  Registering is simple, just follow these steps: REGISTER at linqconnect.com by clicking on the register button near the upper right-hand corner. Next, input your name, email address, and password. Choose your language and timezone and check the I agree to the Terms of Use box. Finally, click submit.   VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT by opening your email and clicking on the verification link sent to you from LINQ Connect. After doing so, please click the Back to LINQ Connect button in the email.  BPS staff will need to use their personal email, you cannot use your BPS email address.   SIGN IN. You should be automatically signed in, but if not please click the login button in the upper right-hand corner.
