ICICI Bank introduces auto recharge on FASTag through UPI mandate

The facility offers yet another option to users to recharge their FASTag automatically as per pre-defined frequency in a completely digital manner.

It helps users to pass through the FASTag lane at toll plazas seamlessly and eliminates the inconvenience of not having sufficient funds in their accounts.

Users can set up the standing instructions through UPI mandate by a one-time quick and easy process.

They can use the facility to recharge FASTag affixed on the vehicle or the FASTag wallet with their chosen frequency options- daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly.

They can activate and deactivate the auto recharge facility at their convenience.

Speaking on the initiative, ICICI Bank Head – Credit Cards, Payment Solutions & Merchant Ecosystem Sudipta Roy said “ICICI Bank is the first bank to offer this facility. With the government’s initiative to install FASTag in vehicles for toll fees and increased adoption of UPI payments, we believe the auto recharge facility using UPI mandate will offer more convenience to users.”

Users can set up the UPI mandate and recharge the FASTag automatically with a few simple steps.

Customers of ICICI Bank can avail FASTag using the Bank's digital channels such as internet banking, iMobile Pay app, InstaBIZ app, Pockets app or by visiting the nearest branch. Customers of other banks can also purchase the FASTag from ICICI Bank by visiting the bank’s website (www.icicibank.com/fastag), ICICI Bank FASTag sales office at the toll plazas.

Users can reload money on FASTag online using UPI and NEFT platforms.
