Kum & Go expands paying options for fleet customers
The retailer has partnered with Car IQ to implement its solution throughout 400 locations to let drivers pay for fuel without the need of a card.
Kum & Go has partnered with Car IQ to implement the company’s payment solution for fleet customers to purchase fuel without the need for a credit card. The system will be live at the retailer’s more than 400 locations across the Midwest beginning this fall.
Car IQ Pay’s proprietary technology allows fleet vehicles to connect directly to Kum & Go’s fuel pumps eliminating the need to swipe a credit card, enter a PIN or add an odometer reading. This partnership extends the technology provider’s network throughout the Midwest providing additional fuel access to fleet customers and opens the door to c-store integration for fleet drivers.
“At Kum & Go we continue to look for ways to be inclusive for all customers. Whether that be the fuel they need, how they intend to pay, or the items they need inside. Car IQ allows Kum & Go to be inclusive of another group customers,” said Jacob Maass, Commercial Fuel Manager at Kum & Go.
The service validates the vehicle when it arrives at a fueling location, approves the source of funds and unlocks the pump without the use of a credit card. Once fueling is complete, it enables the vehicle to pay for the fuel and verify the fuel was received. As the driver leaves the station, the payment receipt is sent to the driver and fleet operator for easy fleet expenditure management.
“Car IQ Pay is bringing a more secure payment channel to Kum & Go and is simplifying the process for their customers who can now simply enter the pump number, add fuel and drive away. When the vehicle makes a payment it streamlines the process and enhances the customer experience,” added Matt Nicholson, Senior Vice President for Merchant Commercialization at Car IQ.
