Payments Pioneer Launches DriverDash, the
Mobile Payment Solution for Fleet
WEX Inc., a leading provider of innovative corporate payment
solutions, today announced the launch of DriverDash, a simple,
easy-to-use 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.”
DriverDash borrows heavily from the long WEX tradition of using
proprietary technology in close consultation with customers to
develop products that make the daily operations of their job
easier.
“Drivers will get a faster, easier, intuitive payment
experience,” she said. “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.”
The DriverDash program is currently available at more than
11,000 Exxon and Mobil-branded service stations across the
continental U.S. and WEX is actively expanding the network among
its accepting merchants.
“We are excited to partner with WEX in accepting the DriverDash
mobile payment app, for use with our proprietary ExxonMobil fleet
cards,” said Miguel Castillo, Americas Payments Marketing Manager,
ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants. “This is a great addition to our
fleet card benefits, and we look forward to continuously innovating
with WEX to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
“We live in a mobile age in which we use our phones for just
about everything,” Watson said. “So as we continue to look at ways
to better serve our customers, it only made sense to bring our
traditional payments platform to mobile devices.”
