FuelCentral helps businesses maintain a secure grip on fuel budgets. Whether it’s for daily commutes or work-related travel, the card empowers your team to fill up easily and safely at South African fuel stations, keeping fuel payments and budgeting organised. Additionally, with features that ensure security and compliance, FuelCentral puts fraud prevention and cash flow management within your reach.

Key benefits and features of FuelCentral

Efficient, fuel-only filtering

FuelCentral is restricted to purchases at South African fuel stations with no payment access at convenience stores or toll gates, keeping expenses focused on fuel. These controls prevent unauthorised purchases, helping you stay within budget, guarantee compliance, and reduce administrative tasks related to these expenses.

Secure, cashless fuel payments

As a Mastercard debit card, this fuel card enables your employees to fill up without needing cash, allowing them to swipe, tap or insert at all local fuel station card machines, reducing the risks of theft or loss, and ensuring convenient transactions. It also offers further security through PIN-protection giving your team a safer payment experience on the road.

There is also an additional layer of security for businesses as all FuelCentral cards can be managed securely using PayCentral’s self-service card management platform – giving you peace of mind knowing that your business’s fuel expenses are protected, controlled, and reliably tracked.

Reloadable and convenient

With FuelCentral, fueling up is flexible and fast. Using PayCentral’s intuitive platform, businesses can load funds directly onto the card anytime, from anywhere, ensuring teams are always ready to keep moving. As an instant payment solution, it allows funds to be added on demand, from as little as R50 up to a maximum of R25,000, so your fleet can stay fueled up no matter where they are. This reloadable feature is invaluable in covering emergency fuel payments, empowering drivers to handle unexpected needs on the road without delays. Whether it’s a last-minute refuel or an unplanned detour, this card ensures your team is supported every step of the way.

Long-term validity

FuelCentral cards are built to last, with a validity of up to three years (batch dependent), making them a dependable, long-term component of your fuel management strategy. This extended lifespan means fewer replacements, reduced administrative tasks, and lower costs associated with issuing new cards frequently. For businesses, this durability translates to uninterrupted support for managing fuel expenses, providing stability and consistency in operations. The long-term validity also ensures that once issued, these cards become a seamless part of your team’s routine, allowing you to focus on driving your business forward without the hassle of frequent renewals.
