ICICI Bank partners GPay for issuing FASTag

Mumbai: ICICI Bank on Monday said it has joined hands with Google Pay for issuance of FASTag, a reloadable tag which enables automatic deduction of toll charges and lets users pass through the toll plaza without stopping for cash transactions.

This collaboration enables Google Pay users to order, track and even recharge ICICI Bank FASTag digitally on the payments platform itself.

"With the increased adoption of digital payments in all walks of life, we believe that this collaboration with Google will help Google Pay users to apply for a new FASTag and get it delivered free of cost at their doorstep," Sudipta Roy, Head - Unsecured Assets, ICICI Bank, said in a statement. "We believe that this initiative will go a long way in increasing adoption of FASTag for toll payments." FASTag is a brand name owned by Indian Highways Management Company Ltd which carries out electronic tolling and other ancillary projects of NHAI.
