The company’s new site technology platform will enhance four components of BP’s existing technology infrastructure, namely electronic payment server (EPS), forecourt controller (FCC), point-of-sale system (POS), PIN pads and network.
The platform, accessible from 15 April 2015, will enable BP marketers to process new payment options including EMV cards with plans to incorporate mobile payments acceptance in the future.
The company will launch the improvements to its free Driver Rewards program, in collaboration with its new credit card partner Synchrony Financial, on 18 May 2015.
BP marketing director of product and offer development Helen Fitzpatrick said: "This technology also gives us the opportunity to further improve our capabilities for customers now and in the future as the demand for flexible payments, security and technology upgrades continue to grow."
