Google Pay-ICICI Bank FASTag: ICICI Bank announced a collaboration with Google Pay which will allow users to buy FASTag through UPI on the payments app. The new partnership would now allow users to conveniently order, track, and recharge ICICI Bank FASTags from the app itself.
The government has made January 1, 2021 as the new date for mandatorily adding FASTags to vehicles.
This initiative will ensure the safety of users as it will put an end to visiting the merchants in person, and going to toll locations to buy a FASTag. With this partnership, the ICICI Bank has become the first bank to join partner with Google Pay for issuing FASTags. It will also strengthen digital payments for FASTag.
“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. The association gains prominence during the widespread pandemic as this allows any Google Pay user to order and receive FASTag in a seamless and contact-less manner”, Sudipta Roy, Head- Unsecured Assets, ICICI Bank said in a press statement.
