There are three versions of the product, curated for specific customer needs:
The “Retail Card” for individual cars, autos, taxis and goods vehicles owners, is particularly useful to customers that have limited digital banking options and are forced to rely on cash as the primary form of payment.
The “Fleet Card” version of the smart card, geared towards owners of commercial vehicle fleets, will simplify the cumbersome process of tracking fuel usage, obtaining and verifying individual bills and processing reimbursements.
