Mastercard has entered a strategic partnership with Fuelin, an Egypt-based fleet-tech innovator, to digitise fuel payment management for businesses across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The collaboration aims to transition the mobility sector away from cash and voucher-based processes towards seamless, data-driven digital transactions. Through this initiative, Fuelin will issue virtual and physical commercial cards that operate on Mastercard’s open-loop ecosystem. This integration allows fleet operators to authorise, cap, and monitor transactions in real-time, leveraging advanced security features such as tokenisation and contactless payments. By shifting to controlled digital payments, the partnership addresses key pain points in the sector, including fraud and financial leakage.
