Chevron to Accept Apple Pay at 3,000 Stores

SAN RAMON, Calif. — Chevron USA Inc. will integrate Apple Pay at more than 3,000 Chevron and Texaco ExtraMile locations before the holiday season.

Apple Pay allows iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch users to pay for fuel and other goods and services via their smartphone if they own a Visa credit or debit card issued by Bank of America, Capital One, Citi Bank, Chase or Wells Fargo Bank. In addition, customers can access compatible apps with Apple Pay when using the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3.

Apple Pay officially went live Monday. Subway, Whole Foods Market, Duane Reade, Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Disney Store are among the other retailers currently accepting the mobile payment system.

“We are thrilled to innovate in the area of retail fuel transactions by making the customer experience for payment and loyalty as smooth, seamless and secure as possible,” said Glenn Johnson, general manager, Americas Products Marketing Sales & Services, Chevron. “Offering Apple Pay to our customers further solidifies our commitment to delivering high-quality products and services while in a secure and convenient manner.”

According to Chevron, it is working toward making Apple Pay available at the remaining Chevron and Texaco convenience stores and gas stations by early 2015.

San Ramon-based Chevron USA Inc. is a division of Chevron Corp., which is involved in virtually every aspect of the energy business.
