Revolutionizing fuel payments: ToneTag's Pay by Car feature | Fusion - WeRIndia

In a remarkable development supported by Amazon and Mastercard, ToneTag has unveiled an innovative payment mode for vehicles, revolutionizing the way drivers pay for fuel.

This groundbreaking feature, aptly named pay by car, leverages the power of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) seamlessly integrated into a vehicle’s infotainment system.

Getting started with this user-friendly feature is incredibly simple. Users merely need to link their UPI ID with their car’s infotainment system and affix a FASTag to their vehicle.

Once these initial steps are completed, drivers can roll into a fuel station and settle their bill without the need for a physical card or a mobile phone.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how the ‘pay by car’ process operates:

• As the vehicle enters the fuel station, the car’s infotainment system promptly displays the fuel dispenser number, simultaneously alerting station staff to the customer’s arrival.
• After refuelling, users input the announced amount through the soundbox interface to effortlessly finalize the online transaction.
• Additionally, this innovative feature streamlines FASTag recharge. Once the recharge is accomplished, the updated balance becomes readily visible on the car’s infotainment screen.

ToneTag’s recent introduction of conversational payments on UPI, in collaboration with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF), marks another significant milestone.

This feature empowers users to transfer funds effortlessly using simple voice commands, enhancing the convenience of digital transactions.

Moreover, in a previous advancement, the company introduced voice-based offline payments tailored for feature phones.

This streamlined process involves the feature phone user placing a call to the designated IVR number, 6366 200 200.

From there, users select the Pay to Merchant option and tap their mobile phone on the merchant’s device (POD).

Upon emitting a unique tone, users input the transaction amount and their UPI PIN to swiftly complete the transaction.

With pay by car option and these other innovative solutions, ToneTag is at the forefront of transforming the digital payment landscape.

It aims at making transactions more accessible, convenient, and efficient for users across India.

As the world continues to embrace digital payment methods, ToneTag’s contributions are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of financial transactions on the road and beyond.
