Where to Cancel ETC?
2 Answers
ETC cancellation can be done through the "ETC Service Mini Program" in WeChat; contact the issuer for cancellation, with the customer service number on the card; if the issuer doesn't resolve the issue, you can call 95022. Here is some information about ETC: 1. Introduction to ETC: ETC, which translates to Electronic Toll Collection in Chinese, is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. 2. How ETC Works: It uses dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This is combined with computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with banks, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping at toll stations.
Canceling your ETC isn't too troublesome. I've done it several times before, and it mainly depends on how you originally set it up. If your ETC is linked to a bank credit or debit card, simply visit a branch of that bank with your ID card and ETC device. The teller will help you unbind and close the account. If it's not linked to a card, it's more reliable to go to an ETC service center – you can search for nearby locations using a map app or call customer service for the address. The process is quite simple: submit the application, return the device, and you're done. Check for any outstanding fees in advance to save time. Leaving an ETC inactive for too long may pose risks, such as unauthorized device use or abnormal deductions, so it's better to cancel it early. The whole process takes less than half an hour and is quite hassle-free.
