BP launches UK's first fuel payment app that connects to fuel cards

From today, BP Fuel Card customers will be able to add fuel cards to the BPme app, saving them time at the pump and giving them the choice to pay for fuel from the comfort of their vehicle.

By making BPme available for fleets, BP has won the race to introduce the first mobile fuel purchasing app in the UK that connects to fuel cards, according to the company.

“What is more valuable than time? BPme is making refuelling easier, faster, and more convenient than ever before,” said Andy Allen, UK Fuel Card Manager, BP Fuel Cards.

Fuel card customers can now use BPme to make quick cashless purchases from their vehicle even if they don’t have their physical fuel cards with them.

As well as all the fraud detection and transaction security measures fleet managers can expect from a physical BP fuel card, the fuel card-linked app also offers other safety benefits such as allowing drivers to stay close to their vehicles at all times, and swapping fuel card PINs for fingerprint or passcode recognition on drivers’ phones.

Now available in around 900 UK BP fuel stations, the BPme ‘Pay for Fuel’ programme is being rolled out across the BP network throughout 2018. Drivers can locate BPme-enabled stations by using the app’s location finder, giving them an efficient way to plan routes via fuelcard-applicable stations.
