Mercedes-Benz collaborates with Mastercard to launch Mercedes Pay+, facilitating in-car refueling payments. Using an integrated fingerprint sensor, drivers can now securely settle fuel bills directly from their vehicles. This pioneering payment solution is set to roll out in Germany, transforming the refueling experience.
Mercedes-Benz and Mastercard introduced the in-car pump payments solution this week. As mentioned in FinTech Magazine, the function is embedded in the car and uses fingerprint sensor technology to carry out and complete the payments.
The collaboration will offer the very first fingerprint payment and the first to be authorized for this system for in-car transactions at a point of sale. Initially, this will be launched in Germany, and customers may experience this hassle-free service in more than 3,600 service stations.
Moreover, Mercedes-Benz will be the first vehicle manufacturer to incorporate the Mastercard Secure Card on File for Commerce Platforms for in-car online payments. The proprietary fingerprint technology will be installed into the MBUX infotainment system, where data encryption will protect payment information via assigned cryptograms.
"With Mercedes pay+, we are making everyday life easier for our customers. From now on, they can pay their fuel bill directly from their car using their fingerprint – simply, securely, and conveniently," Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG's chairman of the board, Franz Reiner, said in a press release. "An intuitive payment process and a best-in-class customer experience lay the foundation for the success of digital offerings. We are pioneers in native in-car payment and are already working on the integration of further services."
Mastercard's chief digital officer, Jorn Lambert, further commented, "Digital payments are coming of age, and consumers want to embrace new forms that are infused into their everyday experiences and activities. Through our dynamic payments technology, we are proud to work hand in hand with Mercedes-Benz to bring safer, smarter, and more intelligent commerce experiences to its vehicles."
