Businesses in Tanzania managing vehicle fleets are set to benefit from greater control over fuel expenditure, reduced losses, and improved efficiency with the introduction of digital payment solutions for fuel transactions. This innovation enables companies to track purchases in real-time, monitor vehicle usage, and identify suspicious transactions, thereby strengthening accountability and reducing the risk of fuel theft and misuse.
TotalEnergies Marketing Tanzania Limited has launched Mobility Card Plus, a digital fuel payment solution aimed at making transactions more secure, convenient, and transparent. The Managing Director of TotalEnergies Marketing Tanzania Limited, Mr. Mamadou Ngom, stated that the system is in response to customers' demand for safer payments and better control over fuel expenditure.
Mobility Card Plus provides greater visibility into fuel transactions, vehicle usage, and expenditure. Its flexible controls and enhanced security features help reduce the risk of misuse. Additionally, digital transaction records and consolidated invoicing simplify financial reporting and reconciliation, reducing the administrative burden of managing fuel expenses.
The introduction of Mobility Card Plus reflects TotalEnergies Marketing Tanzania Limited's commitment to technological innovation and improved customer experience. The solution is expected to simplify fuel transactions and account management, allowing customers to replenish their balances from different locations.
Several companies have partnered with TotalEnergies Marketing Tanzania Limited to offer this service. For instance, Arasco Energies Limited partnered with TotalEnergies in 2023, initially through its Makanya service station. The Director of Arasco Energies Limited, Mr. Thabit Binzou, noted that the solution would enhance fuel transaction efficiency.
Other companies, such as Insignia Limited, have also benefited from the Mobility Card Plus. Mr. Nishid Modesa from Insignia Limited stated that the card has strengthened fuel accountability and security for drivers and businesses. The company has realized that it offers greater security for both drivers and the company, helping to curb fuel misuse and prevent fuel theft.
The adoption of cashless fuel payments is part of a broader trend towards digital transactions in Tanzania. The Bank of Tanzania has been advising businesses and institutions to adopt cashless payment systems to improve efficiency and reduce the risks associated with handling large amounts of cash. With the introduction of Mobility Card Plus, TotalEnergies Marketing Tanzania Limited is poised to play a significant role in this shift.
