Car IQ finalized its third relationship in the past year aimed at helping fleets leverage mobile payment technology.

On Monday, the provider of vehicle payment solutions announced an agreement with PDI Technologies to utilize its mobile payment technology to process cardless payments via the mPAY application.

The companies said through a news release that fleets now have the ability to transact at thousands of merchant locations to purchase fuel and other items at convenience stores.

Car IQ Pay can give fleet customers an easier way to pay for fuel and now c-store purchases by connecting the vehicle directly to the pump or register and eliminating the need for a credit card.

With Car IQ Pay acceptance in the PDI network, fleets now have a greater choice when it comes to fueling their vehicles and making c-store purchases.

Car IQ and PDI can enable drivers to have access to preferred merchant locations across the country who are already integrated into PDI. The collaboration allows PDI to repurpose the Car IQ Pay proprietary payment network into its existing portfolio of merchants, while providing them with access to incremental fuel gallons. Car IQ connects to PDI through its mPAY API.

“We are delighted to be the first affiliate in market to use PDI’s mobile payment technology and easily connect to its merchant collaborators,” said Matt Nicholson, senior vice president of merchant commercialization at Car IQ.

“Working with PDI allows us to expand our merchant and customer base across the U.S. to better serve fleets by providing a seamless way for drivers to transact for fuel and make c-store purchases,” Nicholson continued in the news release.

Mike Melson is senior vice president and general manager of payments and loyalty at PDI Technologies.

“Expanding into the Car IQ network is a strategic benefit for our c-store and fuel customers,” Melson said. “The ability to simplify the payment process for purchases gives retailers direct access to commercial drivers. Retailers can identify and communicate with fleets via targeted offers based on vehicle data and driver behavior.”

Monday’s move arrived after Car IQ announced an agreement with HF Sinclair Refining & Marketing, a subsidiary of HF Sinclair, in May.

And last July, Car IQ aligned with Sunoco.
