The ETC system can be used by inserting the ETC card into the in-vehicle device. Drivers cannot pass smoothly through toll gates with only an ETC card. Issuing procedures for ETC systems are carried out through credit card companies since toll fares from toll roads are paid in arrears using functions offered by credit companies. The following card companies issue ETC cards as of April 2009.
- * Settlement of toll fares is carried out by the ETC card holder rather than the owner of the in-vehicle device.

(Private/ corporate cards are available)
All-in-one ETC card
This is an ETC card that is combined with the functions of an ordinary credit card. This card can be used on toll roads as well as at shopping facilities* that accept credit payments.
- * Facilities that accept credit cards comply with issuer company agreements.
The annual membership fee may differ according to the credit card type (e.g. Basic, gold*). For details please contact the credit company issuing the ETC card.
- * Card names differ according to the card company.
Please note that there will be a screening process when applying.
The credit card company will conduct a screening process at the time of application since ETC cards have the same functions as a credit card. Generally, those who already possess a credit card should not have a problem with being issued an ETC card if applications are submitted to the same company, but you should contact the card company for details.
