EV payments platform Paythru is partnering with Visa to offer fleet operators a white-label 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 wallet allows drivers to pay at any chargepoint that accepts Visa cards, while 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.
The partnership aligns charging data, pricing, and settlement across multiple EV charging networks. Fleet operators can control what drivers can pay for – with all transactions consolidated into a single system for visibility, settlement, and spend management.
That allows increased flexibility for drivers, whilst giving fleet operators complete control over the payment experience, without building payment capabilities in-house or relying on third-party aggregators.
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.”
“As EV charging becomes central to fleet operations, payments move from being a back-office function to a strategic capability,” said Keith Brown, founder and CEO of Paythru. “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,” he adds.
