Bakwena to introduce contactless toll payments on N1N4 from 2025

From 1 June 2025, Bakwena will introduce contactless card payments on the N1N4 Toll Route, improving security and combating toll fraud. This upgrade allows real-time transactions, minimising the risk of misusing stolen cards, as payments are made without handing over the card.
