Streamlining mobility operations with secure digital payments

Streamlining mobility operations with secure digital payments

Deliver seamless, fraud-resistant fuel and EV charging solutions that eliminate manual card administration, reduce operational handoffs, and empower drivers with secure, app-based transactions across Shell's mobility network.

Mobility-as-a-Service providers face persistent challenges managing fuel card fraud, time-consuming card ordering and blocking processes, and rising operational costs. For organisations coordinating transportation services on behalf of public and private clients, these inefficiencies directly impact service reliability and profitability.

By integrating Shell's digital payment, card management, transaction reporting, and EV charging APIs, the business can automate card lifecycle administration, enforce strict usage controls, and digitise forecourt payments. This approach streamlines internal processes, reduces fraud exposure, and provides drivers with a secure, contactless payment experience.

Solve your core challenges with Shell APIs

Eliminate fraud and enhance security

Instantly block or unblock cards, schedule temporary restrictions, and enforce strict product, location, and time-based limits to prevent unauthorised fuel purchases and misuse.

Reduce administrative workload

Automate repetitive card ordering, PIN management, and transaction reporting tasks, freeing your team to focus on strategic operations rather than manual administration.

Simplify payment processes

Enable drivers to pay for fuel and charging directly from their mobile device or vehicle interface, eliminating queues, reducing handoffs, and delivering a seamless user experience.
