You cannot insert the cashcard last min within "XX meters" of the gantry. Have to insert in earlier.

I ever tried appealing and only paid the original ERP amount without any admin fees.

Me too recently......was only asked to pay the outstanding ERP and the admin fee waived.....but was advised to go for inspection of the IU.

 

I went for it anyway since my inspection is up too and the tech found that the problem is my cashcard... <_<

If you are singtel user, you can reduce the admin fee to $4. I think have to register it and then they will just charge the admin fee to your singtel bill and do not need to go to AXS machine to pay.

 

I found this out after I forget to insert the cashcard for the first time. I registered it on the same day and I only paid $4 (I guess the system is a bit slow to update). This morning is the second time I forget my cashcard as last night went to workshop at Ubi and took out my cashcard when exit the carpark.... sigh..

Do you insert it when you leave your car over night at the car park?

 

Depending on how the technician connects the wiring, mine always turn on even when the car is off.

 

It will not only drain the battery, but spoil the IU before my car turn 10 yrs. Went for inspection and the guy say only to insert when going pass gantry.

 

To change one of this sucker cost alot especially when my car is 8.5 yrs now.

No,

Only when i enter the car, even before i turn on ignition.

Going off, do the reverse. Never leave cash card inside.

Just a habit.

frankly speaking, it will be a better idea to make the in car unit similar to those prepaid phones. insert cashcard and it "sucks" in the balance, so even without cashcard, it has value in it. i emailed to LTA, they don't want to reply. think it is profitable to bank on drivers' carelessness in forgetting to insert cashcard as well.

Forgotten to put back my card after topup.

Question is.....is the only option to wait for fine?

Or any other means to pay the gantry cost to avoid fine? It was an honest mistake. [:(]

 

the authorities are unforgiving

 

criminal until proven otherwise

 

sad but is the truth

I have 2 cash cards so that one is always in IU while topping the other [thumbsup]

 

the only trade-off is the extra $5 non-refundable deposit for 2nd card [thumbsdown]

Virtual CashCard aims to solve ERP woes

That sinking feeling motorists get as they approach a gantry and realise their CashCard is too low on funds to cover the toll can now be a thing of the past.

In what could be the next big thing in cashless payments here, a new virtual wallet from Nets will save the day for those who forget to top up.

It allows motorists to pay electronic road pricing (ERP) charges even when they have no physical CashCard in their in-vehicle units (IUs) or if a CashCard is there but has run low on funds.

Nets is launching the vCashCard with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Thursday.

Nets chief executive Jeffrey Goh said in an exclusive interview: "It's time to implement a virtual CashCard to bring convenience to motorists, so that they don't have to worry about administrative fees."

Motorists caught with insufficient funds or without a CashCard in their IUs pay an administrative fee of $10, on top of the ERP charges they owe.

To use the new service, motorists should register for a vCashCard account via the Nets website at vcashcard.nets.com.sg
This account is first topped up with $50 from the registered credit or debit card or bank account.

ERP charges are deducted directly from the vCashCard account when there is no physical CashCard in the IU.

If you have a card in the IU when passing through a gantry, it works as usual and ERP charges will be deducted from it.

When funds in the vCashCard fall below $10, the virtual wallet will automatically be topped up with $50 from one of your accounts linked to the wallet. Mr Goh said: "It's worry-free, there's no monthly maintenance fee except for a top-up fee from time to time when you run out of cash."

Subscription to vCashCard is free, and the top-up fee each time is 50 cents, but that will be waived for motorists who sign up with a United Overseas Bank card or Internet banking account, for the first year. Mr Goh said Nets is open to working with other banks as well for this promotion, adding that banks can consider promoting this "as part of their service".

The vCashCard is just one of several new initiatives that the payment network - also known as the Network for Electronic Transfers Singapore - is rolling out this year as it turns 30. "Nets, with the Government, is providing convenience and easing worry for motorists, and a means to somewhat enable a cashless Singapore, through everything that we do," said Mr Goh.
Nets is also working on a second phase of the service, so that it can also be used at electronic parking system carparks.
Student Koe Zi Yan, 21, said he would prefer to save on the top-up fee, and he tops up more than $50 to his CashCard each time. "If the system lets me set the amount to top up each time, I'll consider using it."

I prefer to self-monitor and diy top up than to pay 50 cents (until banks start charging atm fee @ 60 cents). :a-happy:
