SBI FASTag is a 10x5 cm compact reloadable card that enables the automatic deduction of toll charges while driving through toll plazas. It is a quick, hassle-free, electronic toll payment system to facilitate cashless transactions and keep the toll plazas decongested.
SBI FASTags are linked to the customers’ prepaid accounts/savings accounts. The rectangular tags contain a chip and antenna inside multiple layers of high-quality paper. After activation, the card is affixed to the vehicle’s windscreen.
The tag readers at the toll plazas use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to process the information contained in the tag. When the vehicle drives through the dedicated FASTag lanes at the toll plaza, their linked bank accounts/wallets are automatically debited with the applicable toll charges.
Cashless payment: SBI FASTag eliminates the need to carry cash for toll charges. The payments are auto-debited from the linked prepaid accounts on the go. Also, the tags are interoperable. The same RFID tag is functional at multiple toll plazas. As of now, SBI FASTags work at 346 plus toll plazas across national highways in India. Under the NETC program, there are plans of adding more toll plazas to the list. You have access to your SBI FASTag online.
Quick travel: Automatic deduction of toll charges helps you travel faster, thus saving on fuel and time. The commuters don’t have to stop and wait in the long queues at toll plazas.
Easy recharge: For the SBI FASTag customers, Park+ comes in handy for quick recharges. Their website and app allow for a very simple two-click recharge process on the go.
SMS notifications: SBI FASTag users stay updated with the instant SMS notification facility by the bank. Bank customers get regular SMS alerts on their registered mobile number regarding toll transactions, low balances, recharges, etc.
Unlimited validity: SBI FASTag comes with unlimited validity and a 3-year guarantee. Afterward, if the card gets tampered with or torn, you can get it replaced at some additional cost.
