“In order to accelerate the adoption of mobile commerce, it’s critical for us to continue enhancing the payment experience for consumers and drivers, and our joint effort with Visa is a significant step towards that vision.”

Currently, P97 Networks’ Connected Commerce and Mobile Payments platform offers a host of services, such as payment aggregation, dealership services and others.

Visa SVP and global head of product platforms Ansar Ansari said: “This collaboration underscores the powerful security that tokens provide to auto OEMs, energy brands, and issuers alike.

“Drivers and consumers that embrace digital payments and mobile apps tend to be more loyal and transact more frequently at the same brands.”

Last month, Visa announced that it was planning to facilitate automatic payments for crypto wallets.
