Vivo Energy Namibia, the company that markets and distributes Shell fuels and lubricants in Namibia, launched the Shell Fuel Card to the market last week.

The Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy, Kornelia Shilunga officially launched the card in the presence of Bank of Namibia and Payment Association of Namibia (PAN) representatives, according to a company release.

Johan Grobbelaar, Vivo Energy Namibia MD at the launch said: “Vivo Energy Namibia strives to innovate and bring solutions to our customers. As such, I am proud to bring to you the Shell fuel card in Namibia.”

“We are excited to announce that we are the first fuel company to launch a card that’s approved by Bank of Namibia.”

The Shell network offers over 42 sites that accept the cards on the forecourts.
