As part of a partnership with Eurowag, a provider of integrated mobility and payment services for transport companies, OSCAR Downstream launches for the first time for B2B customers in Romania the facility of payment at the pump via mobile phone. In this way, we continue the tradition of innovation through technology, promoted by OSCAR for over 23 years.
"OSCAR Downstream has a business model built on agility and innovation," says Nicolae Bănică, CEO of OSCAR Downstream. "Our history and brand are associated with concepts and services that we have introduced for the first time on the Romanian market, such as the DIESELpoint stations, launched in 2004, the OSCAR Drive transit stations or the OSCAR fleet cards, designed with contactless technology unique to the market."
Lucian Haranguș, Sales & Retail Director OSCAR DOWNSTREAM adds: "The mobile phone payment option improves the consumer's experience at the pump, generating more fluidity and security when completing transactions. At the same time, it is a step forward in our sustainability efforts, because it helps us reduce our environmental impact and carbon footprint. Receipts are digitally generated, payments do not require additional resources and infrastructure, such as plastic cards or ATMs and POS, and the process is much more energy efficient."
Eurowag's mobile payment app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. After downloading to a smartphone, the user registers and enters the necessary data, including payment information. When the user arrives at one of the OSCAR Drive stations, he selects the respective station, the chosen pump through the application and can start the supply.
Paying at the pump is an increasingly popular facility globally. According to Eurowag, more than 10,000 filling stations in Europe currently provide this service.
