Paythru Partners With Visa to Develop a Flexible and Scalable Fleet Wallet Solution

Wait 5 sec.

Paythru, the EV payments orchestration platform, today announces a strategic partnership with Visa, which will offer fleet operators and mobility platforms a white-label fleet wallet for electric vehicle (EV) charging payments.The fleet wallet allows drivers to pay for EV charging via a card or app, whilst letting fleet operators control what drivers can pay for, and view all payment data in one place.The partnership with Visa is unique since it allows drivers to pay at any chargepoint that accepts Visa cards. Most ‘fuel cards’ are limited to charge points in the fuel card owner’s network. The wallet is a white-label platform that can be embedded into any fleet operator’s existing IT systems, with a front-end app and back-end data interface branded for each operator.The partnership combines Visa’s global payments network with Paythru’s orchestration layer, which aligns charging data, pricing, and settlement across multiple EV charging networks. Fleet operators can control what drivers can pay for – with all transactions consolidated into a single system for visibility, settlement, and spend management.That allows increased flexibility for drivers, whilst giving fleet operators complete control over the payment experience, without building payment capabilities in-house or relying on third-party aggregators.Good for drivers, good for operatorsFor fleet drivers, the Paythru-Visa white-label wallet provides a simple and familiar payment experience – built into the fleet’s existing app or issued as a digital card in their mobile wallet. It provides:· One way to pay everywhere: Drivers can charge at any EV charger, as well as make other mobility payments such as parking or toll payment (defined by their employer), without worrying about which network is approved.· No out-of-pocket expenses: Payments are approved automatically – no receipts, no claims. There is also the functionality to support real-time discounting where appropriate.·  Clear, seamless experience: Pricing and authorisation happen in the background, so charging starts smoothly and completes without payment friction.·  Company Guidance: The app can highlight preferred chargers, discounted locations, or company policies, without blocking drivers when alternatives are needed.From the driver’s perspective, it just works – charging and paying are part of one coherent fleet experience.For fleet operators, the wallet is a control and visibility layer, not just a payment tool. It provides:·Full spend visibility: Every transaction across all drivers, locations, and networks appears in one user interface.·Granular controls: Operators set where the wallet can be used, what it can be used for, and how much can be spent – by driver, vehicle, time, or category.·Consolidated billing and settlement: Charging across multiple networks is reconciled automatically, removing intermediary fees and manual finance work.· Policy and optimisation insights: Spend and usage data can be analysed to optimise charging behaviour, negotiate better rates, and refine fleet policies.· Future-ready platform: The wallet is designed to scale as fleets grow and to support new EV services such as Plug & Charge.In short, drivers get freedom and simplicity, while operators get control, insight, and predictable economics – without managing payments infrastructure themselves.Breaking free from closed-loop constraintsTraditional fleet fuel cards were not built for the complexity of EV charging, where multiple networks, pricing models, and settlement rules intersect. Paythru’s Visa-backed fleet wallet gives fleets a payment method that works across networks, while orchestrating fragmented charging and payment data into a single, clear view for control and insight.Richard Campion, Head of Fleet and Mobility, Visa Europe, said: “This partnership enables a flexible fleet wallet that works wherever Visa cards are accepted, while giving fleet operators the control, visibility, and reliability they need to manage EV charging at scale. Together, with solutions such as Visa-enabled fleet 2.0 payment cards, we’re removing the friction of closed-loop systems and helping fleets transition to electric with confidence.”“As EV charging becomes central to fleet operations, payments move from being a back-office function to a strategic capability,” said Keith Brown, founder and CEO of Paythru. “This partnership equips fleet operators with the infrastructure to offer charging as part of their mobility service, under their own brand, without the complexities or constraints of traditional payment systems.”“The partnership with Visa is a major enabler of Paythru's fleet strategy, which is all about empowering fleet operators and mobility platforms to own their charging payment ecosystem,” he adds.NoYesE-Wallets19 Mar, 2026
