FAQs
Q: Can I pay any amount via USSD for Expressway?
A: Yes, when using *208# via Stanbic Expresspay or *819# for Expressway top-ups, you choose the amount you need to top up.
Q: How soon is the top-up effective after payment?
A: Usually instantly or within a few minutes. Confirm via SMS or app.
Q: What’s the difference between ETC and MTC?
A: ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) uses an On-Board Unit (OBU) device or card so tolls are deducted automatically. MTC (Manual Toll Collection) uses manual tolling and cards that you top up.
Q: What if the USSD isn’t working? Can I use MPesa Paybill or Lipa na M-Pesa?
