EPASS (ePass) — Viettel’s electronic toll collection app for cashless tolls and fleet management in Vietnam

EPASS (branded ePass by Viettel) is a Vietnam-focused electronic toll collection (ETC) application designed to speed up highway travel, simplify parking payments and centralize vehicle management for drivers and fleets. The app connects an ePass tag or onboard device to a user account, enabling automatic non-stop toll payment, digital top-ups and consolidated transaction history across the national ETC network.

Core features and why they matter

• Non-stop toll payments: Install an ePass tag or compatible onboard unit to pass BOT toll plazas without stopping, reducing travel time and fuel consumption.
• Cashless ecosystem: Link popular Vietnamese e-wallets and banks — including Viettel Money, MoMo and other card/bank integrations — for automated toll and parking settlement.
• Multi-vehicle and fleet management: Manage multiple vehicles from one account with easy addition, transfer or removal of vehicles, plus centralized billing for transport companies.
• Real-time balance and transaction history: Monitor account balance, view detailed transaction logs and export or reconcile trips for business records.
• Top-up and refund options: Multiple recharge channels (bank transfer, card, e-wallet, Viettel service points) and procedures to request refunds or withdraw balance where applicable.
• Integration with parking systems: Use the same account for selected parking sites that accept ETC or ePass payments, reducing the number of payment apps needed.
• Nationwide support and compliance: Operates across the national ETC network and follows local regulations (including support for Nghị định 119 compliance and updates).

Platform availability, updates and adoption

EPASS is available on Android and iOS. The Google Play listing shows broad adoption with over one million installs, and the iOS app is distributed through the App Store. Viettel regularly releases updates that focus on UI improvements, new payment linkages and regulatory changes to keep the app aligned with government ETC standards.

Security, payments and data protection

• Encrypted communications: App communications are secured in transit between the client and Viettel servers following developer disclosures.
• Third-party payment safeguards: Financial transactions use established payment partners (banks and e-wallets) which add their own fraud detection and consumer protections.
• Account controls: Multi-factor processes and device bindings help prevent unauthorized toll charges and protect fleet accounts.

User experience and common feedback

Users frequently praise the convenience of non-stop tolling and centralized vehicle management for families and fleets. Public reviews on Google Play and the App Store show mixed feedback: many commend the time savings and nationwide coverage, while others report occasional top-up or refund friction, delays in customer service, and device installation or registration challenges. App ratings vary between platforms, reflecting broad adoption but room for improved support and transactional clarity.

Who benefits most from EPASS

1. Daily commuters and long-distance drivers who want to bypass toll queues and reduce travel time across Vietnamese highways.
2. Transport companies and fleet managers seeking centralized toll tracking, invoicing and vehicle oversight.
3. Drivers who already use Vietnamese e-wallets or linked bank accounts for fast, automated top-ups.

Practical tips before registering

• Confirm compatible hardware: Check whether your vehicle needs an ePass tag or an onboard unit and where to get it installed; Viettel service points and authorized partners provide installation.
• Verify payment methods: Link a preferred e-wallet or bank card and test a small top-up to confirm automatic toll deductions work as expected.
• Review vehicle details carefully: Ensure plate numbers and vehicle class are accurate when adding multiple cars to avoid mischarging.
• Keep support contacts ready: Note Viettel’s customer support channels, including the ePass hotline (1900 9080) and in-person help at Viettel stores or toll stations for device, registration or refund issues.
• Watch for app updates and policy notices: Install updates promptly to maintain compatibility with toll infrastructure and regulatory changes.
