Car IQ Pay and EG America Revolutionize Fleet Fueling with Cardless Payments
TECHNOLOGYHOSPITALITY
Car IQ Inc., a leading innovator in vehicle-based payment technology announced that Car IQ Pay is now accepted at 1,400+ EG America fueling locations nationwide, including Cumberland Farms and 9 other convenience store brands.
Car IQ Inc., a pioneer in vehicle-based payment technology, just announced a massive expansion of its merchant network through a new partnership with EG America. This collaboration instantly makes Car IQ Pay available at over 1,400 EG America fueling locations nationwide, including popular convenience store brands like Cumberland Farms, Certified Oil, Fastrac, and Turkey Hill.
The move marks a pivotal step toward the future of fleet commerce: direct, secure, and cardless payments initiated directly from the vehicle itself.
Redefining the Fuel Stop: Payments as a Telematics Function
The core innovation behind Car IQ Pay is its ability to transform the vehicle into its own payment credential. Commercial fleet vehicles equipped with the technology can authenticate and complete transactions automatically using telematics data, completely eliminating the need for drivers to carry or swipe a fuel card.
This seamless, frictionless experience is a dream come true for drivers, but the real benefit lies in the security and control offered to fleet managers.
Khalid El-Awady, Chief Payments Officer at Car IQ, highlighted the benefits: “Connected, vehicle-initiated payments are setting a new standard for how fleets transact. With the addition of EG America's fueling network, we're expanding access to cardless payments that offer greater security and control.”
For the fleet manager, this translates to tangible operational advantages:
Zero Fraud Risk: Each transaction is instantly authenticated by the vehicle and its real-time geolocation, making card skimming and unauthorized purchases nearly impossible.
Instant Control: Managers can instantly add or remove drivers from the payment network without ever having to manage physical cards or PINs.
Real-Time Oversight: All transactions across the fleet are visible from a unified dashboard, providing immediate and centralized spend control and simplifying accounting.
A Path to the Future of Vehicle Commerce
The partnership is a win-win, as EG America also gains a deeper, digital relationship with its commercial customers.
“This technology is truly vehicle-native—delivering cardless, telematics-verified fuel payments that cut fraud, speed checkout, and centralize spend control today," said Dave Masuret, Chief Fuels Officer for EG America.
Masuret also pointed toward the ambitious future of the platform, noting that Car IQ Pay offers a pathway to expand vehicle-initiated payments beyond gasoline and diesel, moving next into services like maintenance, parking, and EV charging.
By integrating Car IQ Pay, EG America becomes the latest major fuel brand to embrace this advanced vehicle payment platform, giving fleet operators broader access, improved transaction visibility, and a digital payment solution engineered for maximum efficiency and security in the modern commercial world. The age of the connected vehicle as a commerce center has officially arrived.
