Benzina launches contactless mobile payments at the pump

Czech Republic’s Benzina is launching a mobile application on the market, which makes it possible to pay for refuelling at its filling stations via mobile phone directly at the stand. Customer always has the option of checking the payment directly on the stand.

The new system allows customers to read a unique QR code from the stand on the phone after filling up and the payment information is automatically loaded. The customer confirms the data and thus pays for the refuelling. The application confirms the payment, displays the receipt, and the customer can leave.

"The trend today is moving from cash or credit card payments to mobile payments, so we offer our clients a simple and secure option. We have developed a unique solution that saves drivers time," says Marek Zouvala, director of the filling station network Benzina, a branch of Unipetrol.

It is possible to pay via smart phone with the installed Benzina Payments app for petrol, diesel, AdBlue and CNG at all Benzina petrol stations.

Since 2012, Benzina has modernized a substantial portion of its petrol stations, expanded its services, introduced the new concept of Stop Cafe and the new EFECTA fuels.
