Kotak Mahindra Bank reaches one million FASTags milestone

By Leandra Monteiro

Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd (KMBL) announced that it has reached a significant milestone of issuing one million FASTags, as per the latest data released by payments regulator, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). This accomplishment also makes KMBL the fourth largest FASTag issuer in the month of October 2021. In February 2021, the government directed that all lanes in toll plazas at national highways be declared FASTag lanes and made FASTag-mandatory for all vehicles.

The noteworthy feat comes on the back of KMBL’s consistent efforts in ensuring easy digital issuance journeys and radical changes in its distribution network across online and offline platforms to keep up with the new normal. Both commercial and passenger vehicle owners helped KMBL reach this pedestal.

Puneet Kapoor, President – Products, Alternate Channels and Customer Experience Delivery, Kotak Mahindra Bank said, “We are grateful to our customers for trusting us and banking on us as their ‘travel buddy’. Our smooth digital interfaces, easy accessibility to agents, and customised solutions for customers have made us the preferred choice for our customers. Kotak NETC FASTag also offers a wide range of attractive offers.”
