Digital Payment: Now, all you need is your car to pay for fuel and Fastag

Amazon and Mastercard-backed ToneTag has launched the latest mode of making payments, through which users can make payment using their cars, reported Times Of India. This can be availed by linking the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to the car's Infotainment System which would allow the car owners to digitally pay for things like fuel without using their smartphones.

The report further added that ToneTag demonstrated the new technology in partnership with MG Hector and Bharat Petroleum

This is how it works

Once the car reached a fuel station, the soundbox would inform the fuel staff about the customer's arrival and the fuel dispenser number would appear on the car's infotainment system. In a contactless transaction, the Customer can enter the amount announced by the soundbox after refuelling.

As per ToneTag, the same can be used for other services like Fastag with the balance being displayed on the car's infotainment screen.

ToneTag is the world's largest audio-based solutions provider which offers both software and hardware to enable various services.
