DALLAS — HF Sinclair Refining & Marketing LLC, a subsidiary of HF Sinclair, is giving fleet drivers a new payment option through its partnership with vehicle payment solutions provider Car IQ Inc.

Now, Car IQ Pay is accepted at 1,600 Sinclair branded stations across more than 30 states. The Car IQ Pay platform connects the vehicle directly to the pump and eliminates the need to use a credit card, PIN number or vehicle odometer reading.

"Sinclair is committed to offering our customers the latest technology to manage and pay for fueling," said Doug Lawes, manager, payments and technical solutions, HF Sinclair. "Partnering with Car IQ allows us to help our fleet customers facilitate payments by eliminating the use of credit cards. This is a natural expansion on the success we have achieved with the deployment of Sinclair's DINOPAY Mobile Payment App, through our partnership with P97 Networks."

Car IQ Pay is accepted at more than 25,000 fuel station brands nationwide and offers fleets advanced payment technology to pay for fuel and services. Vehicles are able to transact securely with payment networks, banks and service providers in order to automatically initiate and complete payments for services ranging from fueling, toll management and paid parking to electric vehicle charging and more.

"The addition of Sinclair not only brings more locations, but also the Sinclair brand to Car IQ Pay, which our fleet customers have been asking for," said Matt Nicholson, senior vice president, merchant commercialization at Car IQ. "Automating and simplifying the payment process for our fleet customers helps them streamline their accounting process and eliminate costly time and errors."

Sinclair first partnered with P97 Networks in 2014. P97 Networks is a leading connected commerce, mobile payments and mobility services provider for the convenience retail, fuels marketing and automotive industry.

"P97 Networks is dedicated to providing innovative digital experiences for everyone, and this partnership is accelerating the future of convenient and effortless fuel payments," said Don Frieden, president and CEO of P97 Networks. "Providing fleet customers, a more secure and efficient way to do business with retailers makes the interactions for all parties run seamlessly."
