The ai Corporation (ai) has entered into a “long-term” agreement with Visa to expand the Visa Fleet 2.0 payment programme across Europe using its aiEazyFuel card issuing and management platform.
The Visa Fleet 2.0 framework provides technology vendors with validation and tools designed to ensure payment systems meet Visa’s “high” security, integration, and functional criteria.

ai stated that the expanded partnership will “fast-track” the release of its “innovative offerings” to card issuers, fuel retailers, and fleet operators globally.
aiEazyFuel operates as a white-label, omnichannel platform for card issuing, transaction switching, and payment processing.
The ai Corporation CEO Piers Horak said: “By leveraging our flagship issuing and processing platform, aiEazyFuel, we are driving targeted penetration of Visa Fleet 2.0 across various segments of the fuel, EV and mobility payments market in Europe.
“I am genuinely excited to see how this long-term agreement empowers our partners and future-proofs their operations, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving industry.”
The technology is targeted at banks, card issuers, energy retailers, electric vehicle (EV) businesses, leasing firms, mobility providers, and fleet managers seeking to replace existing infrastructure or introduce new payment options.
The system incorporates acquiring, issuing, acceptance, processing, analytics, and risk controls.
For payment security, the platform integrates directly with aiRiskNet, a fraud-management tool designed to protect mobility transactions.
An internal Fraud Managed Service Team oversees this workflow using AI, machine-learning tools, and scoring models, according to the company.
The platform also supports hybrid payment cards, linking proprietary features with acceptance across the Visa network.
Cards issued through the platform can be used internationally, allowing cardholders to access merchant networks for EV charging, mobility purchases, and other vehicle-related transactions.
Visa Europe head of fleet, mobility and benefits Neil Halls said: “By combining ai’s expertise in the fuel, EV and mobility payments space, with the capabilities of Visa Fleet 2.0, this collaboration will help bring greater choice and modern payment experiences to the fleet, EV, mobility providers.”
