Mobile payment solution allows drivers to pay for fuel with their phones.

A provider of corporate payment solutions, WEX, recently announced the launch of DriverDash, an alternative to plastic for added security.

DriverDash lets fleet drivers authorize a fuel transaction from inside their vehicles to create a seamless and secure transaction via mobile device.

WEX Vice President of Product, Peggy Watson said, “DriverDash is the next evolution in fuel cards: powerful, fast, simple and convenient. We’re thrilled to continue to use our innovative technology to provide customers with modern, safe, seamless ways to pay for their fuel and capture their data.”

“Drivers will get a faster, easier, intuitive payment experience,” Watson added. “Businesses will see less downtime for fueling and enhanced transaction security. DriverDash uses thumbprint or facial recognition to authorize and document the transaction and drivers can only utilize the app upon receiving an invite from the fleet manager.”

Currently, the DriverDash program is available at more than 11,000 Exxon and Mobil-branded service stations across the continental U.S., but the company says they’re expanding the network.
