ACE app enables contactless payment across Europe
The so-called "Connected Fueling" has been integrated into the ACE app in cooperation with PACE Telematics. With this function, payments can be made directly at the fuel pump using a mobile phone – without entering the cashier's booth. The feature is available to all users of the app and does not require ACE membership.
Comfortably pay for fuel in eight countries
With the ACE app, drivers can now conveniently pay their bills at over 7,000 gas stations across the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria.
The major participating oil companies in Germany include Esso, JET, Deutsche Tamoil GmbH (HEM), Q1, Wilhelm Hoyer (Hoyer), BayWa, and Calpam. In the app, participating gas stations are marked with a blue fuel pump icon. For secure payment, only a one-time registration is necessary.
Manuela Stauch, Head of Digital Marketing at ACE: "We are pleased to offer our users another practical app extension with Connected Fueling. Especially during the current travel season, our service makes traveling by car even more comfortable. With PACE, we have found an experienced technology partner, so we will expand the gas station network further across Europe this year. By the end of the year, 9,000 gas stations should already be available in the PACE Drive app."
Full Flexibility with Various Payment Options
The ACE collaborates in the field of app integration with the Karlsruhe-based FinTech PACE Telematics. In addition to the ACE emergency call for breakdowns and accidents, information on fuel prices, or a mobility planner with traffic information, the ACE app now also offers mobile payment for fuel at the pump.
Various payment methods are supported, including American Express, Mastercard, and VISA credit cards, as well as giropay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal, to make the payment process as simple and flexible as possible.
Translated automatically from German.“We are very pleased that a significant automobile club like the ACE Auto Club Europa places its trust in our Connected Fueling platform. Together, we now contribute to not only providing consumers with a broader range of services but also helping them manage their daily lives more easily and efficiently,” said Philip Blatter, Managing Director and Founder of PACE Telematics GmbH.
