Why is Etc called Etc?
Etc is called Electronic Toll Collection, which stands for Non-stop Toll Collection System.
Let's take this string of words apart:
Electronic is an adjective meaning electronic; of electronic devices; of electronic equipment.
Toll is an adjective meaning toll (of a road, bridge).
Collection as a noun means to take; to take away; to gather; to accumulate.
So, the meaning of Etc is easy to understand.

ETC bookkeeping card: this kind of card is not charged when passing through the highway toll booths, and the system will automatically deduct the fee from the user's authorized and bound bank account.
ETC stored-value card: as the name suggests, there is money in the stored-value card in order to use it, because it does not have the function of overdraft consumption, so it is necessary to pre-deposit some money. But the savings card has a disadvantage, in some places, the savings card ETC must protect the card to have more than 500 dollars of deposits.
ETC credit card: It's mainly a charge, which is the same as the one we often use to pay for things, so you can use it first and then pay for it. This kind of deduction is not real-time, and the ETC account card deduction time is comparable. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do it on your own.
