Many drivers appreciated the possibilities of fuel cards, which made it possible to carry out cashless payments for fuel and other services at gas stations. They appeared relatively recently and during this time they managed to go a difficult path to a modern convenient payment instrument. One of the most popular types has become a fuel card for individuals, which has wide capabilities and sufficient memory to store a large number of services purchased by the user.
Setting strict limits
The driver can receive fuel on cards of this type in a certain time interval, which is set depending on their settings and the contract concluded with the company. Limits on the amount of fuel poured in can be set for a day, a week or even a month, which allows you to pre-plan the consumption of fuels and lubricants for the nearest future. There are even special cards that can be used only once, after which they will be automatically blocked.
Gas station use
The peculiarity of such a payment instrument is that it is assigned to the driver or vehicle. The first option is convenient if the car is constantly driven by one person, since when trying to pay at a gas station, the fuel card must be handed over to the employee along with an identity document. This is necessary to confirm that you have the right to use it.
If there are several people for one car at once, for example, it is owned by a family or a company owns it, then it will be more profitable to link to the vehicle. In this case, the card loses some of its security, but it becomes much more convenient to use, reducing the time spent on refueling.
Map as a virtual fuel depot
In fact, the TNK fuel card acts as a virtual fuel storage, where you can buy a certain amount of fuel, so that you can use it later as needed. Each owner can independently form stocks on the account, choosing from the available price list various types of fuels and lubricants. This approach allows for additional savings in the long run. The purchase takes place at the prices set for the current day, which fixes them and prevents subsequent fluctuations. Even with a sharp jump in cost, exactly the amount of gasoline or diesel that was purchased and not consumed will remain on the card.
Basic Fraud Protection
The card is highly secure against fraud. The main obstacle is created by the need for identification by document or verification of compliance with the transfer indicated on the card.
