P97 Networks, developers of PetroZone, a cloud-based mobile commerce and behavioral marketing platform for the convenience and fuel retailing industry, and ZipLine (formerly National Payment Card Association) and a leading provider of mobile and card-based decoupled debit (ACH) Payments for merchants, announced they have formed a strategic partnership. The partnership includes bi-lateral certification of interfaces and collaboration to accelerate mobile commerce deployments to their oil company and retail merchant customers.

"Retail fuel merchants can now choose a mobile solution with confidence by selecting PetroZone, a world class mobile commerce platform, combined with ZipLine's ACH (decoupled debit) payments platform for their mobile transactions," said ZipLine CEO Stephen Goodrich. "Regardless of a retailer's legacy POS systems, PetroZone's mCommerce technology supports 'site to cloud' integration. Our collaboration provides an 'on-demand' rapid sign up process linking ZipLine ACH to PetroZone to save consumers time and create immediate savings at the pump. Partnering with P97 really makes a lot of sense."
