FIS and SAP partner to enable mobile payments at US pumps

Payment processing firm FIS will be partnering with SAP, a cloud solutions expert, to improve mobile payment systems for motorists at gas stations across the U.S.

The solution developed by both companies would allow consumers to pay at the pump from within their car or using their mobile phone.

FIS, SAP and a major mobile device manufacturer decided to work together with the intention of connecting payments with automobiles and mobile devices.

When used with SAP Vehicles Network, the FIS solution will help enable gas stations to simplify the customer experience by accepting secure payments from a connected car or mobile device

“Our FIS Mobile Payment Enablement Gateway will help facilitate mobile payments for retailers in multiple market segments such as gas stations, convenience stores, parking garages and restaurants, as well as emerging markets such as unattended kiosks,” said Bruce Lowthers, EVP, North American Retail Payments, FIS.
