Petrol launches prepaid card for gas in Slovenia

Wirecard enables digital payments through the Mobile Wallet mBills, a mobile payment solution from the leading gas station operator in the country.

Petrol, Slovenia’s leading gas station operator, has partnered with Wirecard and Mastercard, to enable users of Petrol’s MBills mobile wallet to add a prepaid Mastercard to their accounts.  

Users of the mBills app, a Slovenian fintech acquired by Petrol last year, could make payments on-site at almost 50 million points of sale worldwide and online, using their debit card which is issued by Wirecard and connected to their mobile wallet on their smartphone.   

There is a large potential for digital and mobile payment in Slovenia, where 80% of payments are still made in cash. Initial samples and app store reviews in Slovenia show that this solution is highly valued for its user-friendly interface and ease of use. The new Mobile Wallet solution – including the mBills debit Mastercard – is already available to all Android and iOS users.

“Our services have positioned mobile wallets in Slovenia as competitive cash solutions more quickly than expected“, commented Director of MBILLS, Mag. Primož Zupan.
