    On the 22nd of June , EcoCash and the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) announced a partnership that saw tollgates linking directly with customers’ EcoCash wallets. EcoCash went on to launch a mobile app in partnership with ZINARA specifically designed for paying tollgate fees. Considering the worsening cash crisis prevailing in the country, this solution came as a timely relief for all road users taking into account that tollgate fees are pegged at $2 for light vehicles and $3 for minibuses whilst buses, heavy vehicles and haulage trucks pay $4, $5 and $10 respectively.

    So if you’d like to start paying for tollgates using EcoCash, you might be wondering how to do it, here’s a guide to help you.

    Register Your Vehicle Registration Number

    Before you can start using EcoCash to pay for tollgate fees, you have a register the vehicle that you’ll be using within EcoCash so that they can confirm that is the right vehicle to be paid for at the tollgate. To register your vehicle, follow these steps.

    1. Get into EcoCash by dialling *151# and entering your pin
    2. Select Make Payment (option 2)
    3. Select Regular Payments (option 6)
    4. Select Pay Toll Gates (option 3)
    5. Select Register Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) (option 1)
    6. Enter your Vehicle Registration Number and submit
    7. Once you’ve reached this step, you have successfully registered your vehicle, otherwise, contact EcoCash support for help

    Once you completed the above steps, you’ll be able to pay for tollgate fees for that vehicle using EcoCash. To put funds into the Tollgate account which you’ll use to pay, follow the next steps.

    Put Funds Into The Tollgate Account To Be Used For Your Tollgate Payments – At this point, you should have a vehicle registered, if you haven’t registered the vehicle yet, look at the steps above to do so. Now, assuming you have a registered vehicle, before you can pay for tollgate fees using EcoCash for that vehicle, you have to load funds into a specific account called Tollgate Account which will be used to make the actual payments. To do so, follow these steps.

    1. Dial *151# to access EcoCash and enter pin to login
    2. Select Make Payment (option 2)
    3. Select Regular Payment (option 6)
    4. Select Pay Toll Gates (option 3)
    5. Select Load Tollgate Account (option 3)
    6. Enter amount you want to add and submit
    7. Once you’ve reached this step, you have successfully funded your tollgate account, otherwise, contact EcoCash support for help

    After following those steps, your EcoCash wallet will be deducted with the amount you specified. The funds will be transferred to the tollgate account so you can always have a separate balance for your tollgate payments.

    How To Pay For Tollgate Fees using EcoCash – If you’ve done all the above steps, then you’ll be all set to make payments for tollgate fees using EcoCash. To actually make the payment for the fees using EcoCash, you simply tell the Cashier that you’d like to make the payment using EcoCash and give them your mobile number which is the same EcoCash number you did all the registrations on. The Cashier will use that number and also verify that the vehicle in front of them is the one registered for tollgate payments using EcoCash which is why you have to do the registration we mentioned earlier. If everything checks out, the tollgate fees will be automatically deducted from your Tollgate Account if it had funds and you’ll get a notification of the transaction.

    Dial 114 or visit the EcoCash website for more info.
