FASTag Switch by ISG
Issuance & Acquirer FASTag Switch
For FASTag Transactions
Payments have evolved not only in the retail sector but also across various industries, including government and public utilities. Over time, digital payment methods, such as NCMC and road toll payments, have become prevalent in the country. One notable example is FASTag, which was introduced by the Indian government to streamline and expedite toll collection.
FASTag is a user-friendly and reusable device utilizing Radio-frequency identification technology (RFID), designed to be affixed on a vehicle’s windshield. Each tag is linked to a registered partner bank or wallet, enabling effortless and automated toll charge deductions. This initiative aligns with the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program, implemented by NPCI(National Payments Corporation of India) under the guidance of NHAI(National HighwayS Authority of India) and IHMCL
Ecosystem players & the role of ISG
In this context, the Issuer Bank, a member of NPCI, issues the ETC Tag to vehicle owners for payments using the ETC Tag. The Acquirer Bank, also a member of NPCI, oversees the Toll Plaza, ensuring the smooth acceptance of ETC transactions within the ETC Payment System. ISG’s role in this ecosystem is to offer a comprehensive switching solution for both Issuer and Acquirer Banks, enabling efficient processing of FASTag transactions.
