Platon payment for non-residents: now available through GreenGo

GreenGo continues to expand opportunities for insurance partners. The Platon payment service is now available on the platform, allowing agents to help their clients pay for travel on federal roads of Russia for trucks weighing over 12 tons in a timely manner.

The new service is especially relevant for foreign carriers and owners of heavy vehicles operating on the territory of the Russian Federation. In many cases, non-residents face difficulties when topping up their accounts or paying for travel: they do not have a Russian bank card, familiar payment services are unavailable, or they encounter problems with Russian online systems.

These issues can now be resolved through an insurance agent working on the GreenGo platform.

The service helps carriers comply with the Platon system requirements in a timely manner and continue driving without having to search for payment methods independently.

Important: the Platon system operates on federal roads of the Russian Federation and applies to trucks with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 12 tons. Before starting travel, it is necessary to make a payment in a timely manner or use the calculation method provided by the system.

Platon is a state toll collection system to compensate for damage caused to federal roads by trucks with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 12 tons. It operates on the entire network of federal roads in Russia.

Payment can be made in two main ways:

• register a route map for the upcoming trip;
• use an onboard device that automatically records the vehicle's movement and calculates the fee amount.

Funds collected through the system are allocated for the maintenance, repair, and development of federal road infrastructure.

The system is mandatory for owners of trucks with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 12 tons traveling on federal roads of Russia. This applies to both Russian carriers and foreign transport companies engaged in international transportation on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The system is most commonly used by:

• international transport companies;
• logistics operators;
• owners of their own trucks;
• carriers performing transit transport through Russia;
• foreign companies delivering goods to and from Russia.

For Russian carriers, topping up their account usually does not cause difficulties: a personal account, mobile app, Russian bank cards, and other payment methods are available.

However, foreign carriers may face a number of difficulties:

• lack of Russian bank cards;
• inability to use familiar payment methods;
• the need to understand the system before the trip;
• difficulties with timely account top-up.

That is why the ability to contact an insurance agent and pay for the service through GreenGo becomes a convenient solution for non-residents.

The Platon system applies to federal roads of Russia, which are used daily by carriers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, China, and other countries.

The most popular routes are presented in the table below.

Federal route	Who uses it most often	Purpose
M-12 "Vostok"	Carriers from Kazakhstan and China	International transportation between Kazakhstan, central Russia, and eastern regions
M-11 "Neva"	Logistics companies	Cargo delivery between Moscow and Saint Petersburg
M-4 "Don"	International carriers	Transportation to southern regions of Russia and Black Sea ports
Central Ring Road (CRR)	Transport companies	Bypassing Moscow without entering the city and distributing cargo flow
Federal highways of Siberia and the Urals	Carriers from China and Kazakhstan	International cargo transportation between Asia and the European part of Russia

For GreenGo clients, carriers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and China who regularly use the Russian federal road network for international logistics are of particular interest.

The launch of the new service allows agents to significantly expand the range of services they can offer to their clients.

Key advantages:

• additional service for existing clients;
• assistance to foreign carriers;
• ability to pay the Platon system through the GreenGo platform;
• comprehensive support for international transportation;
• work within a single personal account;
• increasing client loyalty through additional services.

Thanks to this, the insurance agent becomes not only an insurance specialist for the client but also a reliable assistant in organizing international transportation.

The launch of the Platon payment service is another step in the development of the GreenGo ecosystem for insurance partners.

Agents can now help their clients not only with issuing insurance products but also with resolving important issues related to international freight transportation. This is especially relevant for carriers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, China, and other countries who need to comply with Platon system requirements when traveling on federal roads in Russia.

By expanding the list of available services, GreenGo helps partners offer comprehensive client service, save their time, and make international transportation more convenient and predictable.
