Mercedes me "Fuel & Pay" - contactless payment at the pump

 Contactless fuel handling: the new Mercedes me service "Fuel & Pay" for digital payment at the fuel pump has been launched. Mercedes me users can use the service free of charge and pay conveniently digitally - without going to the petrol station or paying by card at the machine. This innovative service can be conveniently controlled directly from the vehicle using the Mercedes me app as well as the MBUX infotainment system.

And this is how Fuel & Pay works:

Customers select a connected petrol station within the head unit using the map overview and start navigation. The geofencing function automatically detects the petrol station when stopping at the destination - as soon as the engine is switched off - and the customer selects the desired petrol pump. The system now calculates the maximum tank amount based on the tank volume, the type of fuel and the fuel price and the customer issues a payment reservation. The only thing that is not digital is the refueling itself - the driver has to get out and operate the tap. The account will only be debited for the amount of fuel actually filled up. This allows the customer the best possible transparency and control.

After refueling, the payment process is completed. The customer immediately receives a confirmation via a display message in the Mercedes me app or in the MBUX and can continue the journey straight away. For documentation purposes, the customer is also sent a fuel receipt including all data such as fill quantity, type of fuel and price per liter via email or Mercedes me Inbox message.

Of course, the customer is free to choose whether to process the payment process in the Mercedes me app or via the MBUX display. The procedures are identical here.

Fuel & Pay availability:

The service is automatically integrated by Mercedes-Benz into the Mercedes me app for devices with Android or iOS operating systems as part of an update. The service is automatically updated in the Mercedes-Benz head unit (MBUX) when available. In both cases, the customer must activate the service separately and, if necessary, enter his personal payment details when using it for the first time.

Vehicle models with the MBUX infotainment system and the 'hard disk navigation' equipment package are compatible and customers can use the in-car payment function directly in the vehicle. For vehicles with the latest infotainment generation (new S-Class from year of construction 2020), services will be accessed via MBUX at the end of 2021.
