Relay Payments and Yesway have joined forces in a new partnership aimed at revolutionising diesel fuel transactions for truckers.
This collaboration introduces Relay’s cardless purchasing experience to over 100 Yesway and Allsup’s locations, in a bid to combat fuel fraud caused by card skimming, offering truck fleets and drivers a modern, secure, and reliable payment experience nationwide.
Relay will simplify the payment process at Yesway and Allsup’s convenience stores by enabling drivers to present their distinctive payment code to purchase diesel fuel directly from the clerk.
Fleets and drivers will enjoy exclusive diesel fuel discounts, conveniently showcased in Relay’s mobile app for easy reference. Among its array of benefits, Relay offers:
- Route-planning Tool: Integrated within the app, this feature optimises both time and cost savings for drivers.
- Multiple Payment Storage: The app allows drivers to store various forms of payment, enabling the use of rewards and loyalty points effortlessly.
- Transparent Pricing: Relay ensures complete transparency in pricing, ensuring no hidden charges or fees.
- Customisable Controls: Drivers have access to customisable spending controls and policies tailored to their specific needs.
- 24/7 Customer Support: Relay provides round-the-clock customer support from its U.S.-based team, offering assistance whenever required.
The firm introduced its secure digital payment solution in 2019 to eliminate payment delays that burdened drivers, resulting in long waiting times for payment approvals and authorisations. Their platform, embraced by fleets, has increased hours of service and enhanced supply chain efficiencies, offering fast and secure over-the-road payments across the country.
Yesway, renowned for its rapid growth, operates a network of convenience stores offering high-quality grocery items and leading food service options. The partnership with Relay Payments aligns with Yesway’s commitment to delivering convenience to its customers, particularly truck drivers, by providing a more secure and seamless way to purchase diesel fuel.
Relay co-founder and CEO Ryan Droege, said, “Card skimming continues to be a major problem for the industry, costing fleets thousands each month. Because Relay’s technology bypasses cards altogether, fleets and drivers can have peace of mind when they pay with our solution. We’re excited to welcome Yesway locations into our digital payment network and give drivers even more options to securely fuel up.”
Tom Trkla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway, said, “Yesway is focused on bringing actual ‘convenience’ to customers at all of our convenience stores. This partnership helps us achieve that by offering truck drivers a more secure and seamless way to purchase diesel fuel. As a brand that is focused on the customer experience ourselves, it has been delightful to work with the entire team at Relay – we appreciate their integrity, their level of service, and the enhanced offering they have introduced to our customers.”
