Background
Mastercard has partnered with Fuelin, an Egypt-based fleet technology company, to advance secure and real-time digital payments for fuel across the Middle East and North Africa. The partnership helps businesses switch from cash and vouchers to smarter, data-driven payment systems for mobility.
Under the partnership, Fuelin will integrate its fleet management platform with Mastercard’s global payment network. The solution will enable the use of both virtual and physical commercial cards across Mastercard’s open-loop ecosystem. This will allow fleet operators to authorise, cap and track transactions instantly, while benefiting from strong security features such as tokenisation and contactless payments.
Mastercard said the initiative will support the wider digitisation of the mobility sector in the region. By combining Fuelin’s real-time controls and analytics with Mastercard’s trusted network, the partnership aims to improve payment transparency and reduce manual processes.
Beyond payments, the collaboration will offer added value through loyalty programmes and operational insights. Fuelin’s platform will link card-based payments to station-level offers and non-fuel services, including oil changes and vehicle care. Fleet managers will gain access to a single dashboard to manage spending limits by driver or vehicle, monitor fuel use and track carbon dioxide savings.
Fuelin said the move will help businesses save time and reduce costs by turning each fuel transaction into a data point. Faster settlement and automated reconciliation will replace manual tasks that previously took days to complete.
Fuel stations will get faster checkouts, make fewer mistakes, and gain better insights into customer demand. Regulators and government agencies will get clearer records and more accurate reports through digital tracking.
The partnership reflects growing efforts across MENA to modernise commercial payments and build secure, efficient digital ecosystems for the mobility sector.
