EV payments firm Paythru has partnered with Visa to offer fleet operators and mobility platforms a fleet wallet for electric vehicle (EV) charging payments.
The fleet wallet allows drivers to pay for EV charging via a card or app, whilst letting fleet operators control what drivers can pay for, and view all payment data in one place.
The partnership with Visa allows drivers to pay at any chargepoint that accepts Visa cards. Most ‘fuel cards’ are limited to charge points in the fuel card owner’s network.
The wallet is a white-label platform that can be embedded into any fleet operator’s existing IT systems, with a front-end app and back-end data interface branded for each operator.
Richard Campion, Head of Fleet and Mobility, Visa Europe, said:
“This partnership enables a flexible fleet wallet that works wherever Visa cards are accepted, while giving fleet operators the control, visibility, and reliability they need to manage EV charging at scale.
“Together, with solutions such as Visa-enabled fleet 2.0 payment cards, we’re removing the friction of closed-loop systems and helping fleets transition to electric with confidence.”
Keith Brown, founder and CEO of Paythru, said:
“As EV charging becomes central to fleet operations, payments move from being a back-office function to a strategic capability. This partnership equips fleet operators with the infrastructure to offer charging as part of their mobility service, under their own brand, without the complexities or constraints of traditional payment systems.
“The partnership with Visa is a major enabler of Paythru’s fleet strategy, which is all about empowering fleet operators and mobility platforms to own their charging payment ecosystem.”
