GasBuddy unveils mobile payments service

Gas Buddy, a mobile app that enables consumers to view real-time fuel prices at over 140,000 gas stations in the U.S., Canada and Australia, has launched a new payments feature that will enable users to pay for gas at Love’s Travel Stops locations across 41 states in the U.S. 

The new mobile-payment feature is an expansion of the Pay with GasBuddy card program launched in September, which enables consumers to save on fuel purchases at more than 90 percent of gas stations across the U.S.

Since launch, there have been more than 2 million transactions across all 50 states using the Pay with GasBuddy program, according to a press release.

The new mobile pay feature enables users to arm Love's pumps using the GasBuddy app from the comfort of their car, as well as take advantage of the Pay with GasBuddy fuel savings program. After fueling, an e-receipt showing the GasBuddy discount will appear in the app and will also be emailed so consumers can easily keep track of all fuel transactions and savings, according to the release.

GasBuddy said it is currently working to expand mobile payments with other fuel retailers and expects to see the feature usable in 20 percent of the nation's gas stations by the end of 2018.
