AS24 is replacing all its own-brand cards with Gemalto’s EMV Optelio smart cards that are accepted at AS24’s network of EMV terminals in 750 fuel stations across 27 countries.
Gemalto said that its complete solution includes personalization of AS24’s fuel cards.
The Optelio card allows fleet managers to monitor all aspects of individual card usage remotely and in real time. They can control the driver’s identity, the time and value of a fuel purchase, and the number of fills in a predefined period, facilitating cost management and fraud reduction.
"Leveraging EMV technology, the verification of the card’s authenticity is carried out by the payment terminal itself. The transaction can therefore be processed even in the event of a network issue, so ensuring service continuity for AS24 customers," Gemalto said in a statement.
