Relay Payments launches fraud-free digital fuel payments

By Delisha Fernandes

Relay Payments, a FinTech company building a digital payment network in the transportation, logistics, and supply chain industries, is launching its digitised diesel payment platform at Pilot Company’s network of travel centres.

With Relay Payments now available at over 800 of Pilot Company’s travel centres, millions of truck drivers visiting one of these locations daily can now access reliable, digital, fraud-free payment transactions.

“We take fraud protection seriously and are always looking for innovative solutions to support the needs of our fleet customers,” said David Hughes, senior vice president of sales for Pilot Company. “Digital payment technologies like Relay provide fleets with enhanced anti-fraud capabilities and improve the ease of commercial diesel transactions. We are excited to offer Relay Payments across our extensive travel centre network and to bring cutting-edge technologies to the trucking industry.”

“Fuel fraud and outdated payment technologies hurt the entire supply chain, costing fleets, merchants, and drivers hundreds of millions yearly,” said Spencer Barkoff, co-founder and president of Relay. “By offering our services at Pilot Company locations, we can provide reliability, security, and flexibility for carriers and drivers, all while reducing fraud.  We are fortunate to build products that solve the industry’s biggest challenges, and we couldn’t be more excited to work with Pilot Company to bring these products to millions of drivers.”

Relay introduced its fast, secure digital payment solution in 2019 to eliminate long delays that forced drivers to wait hours for payment approvals and authorisations. Fleets eagerly adopted the industry-leading system resulting in instant payment transactions and more time maximising hours of service. Relay’s payment network has expanded rapidly, allowing fleets nationwide to make fast and secure over-the-road payments.
