European Fuel Card Market Trends
The European fuel card market comprises a balanced mix of large and small companies, mainly family businesses operating in the fuel card sector. Fuel cards provide fleet owners with reports that help them in monitoring and tracking all mobility-related expenses. Fuel card issuers provide customers with digital solutions that help them optimise their fleet management. For instance, by using telematics and smart digital platforms, consumers can plan more efficient routes eliminating empty runs and lowering emissions. Additionally, as the cards can only be used to purchase a limited number of goods and services, such as fuel and lubricants, the risk of payment fraud is limited, and companies can securely manage their transportation costs.
Fuel cards are given a special status under the EU’s Payment Services Directive and can only be used in the network of fuel stations where the card issuer has a partnership. Banking organisations have integrated advanced technology in developing fuel cards that hold the potential to transform the European fuel card market. For instance, in December 2020, Citi, a leading global bank, launched the Citi Fleet Card, which makes use of innovative contactless technology combined with a mobile application, The Miles Consultancy. The card was made available in 24 countries in Europe, allowing seamless tracking of mileage, receipts, and reports.
