Mercedes and Mastercard have teamed up for new Mercedes pay+ system that’s initially available at 3,600 German service stations
can be a nightmare. There are just so many calorie-laden temptations desperate to ambush you when you go inside the service station building to pay.
Avoiding those temptations has become easier in recent years thanks to on-pump credit card machines and phone-app payment systems available for both ICE and EV cars, but now Mercedes wants to simplify the process even further by letting you pay for your fuel using your car’s infotainment screen. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of tech –in 2018 in the U.S., but the Mercedes system uses fingerprint recognition to make payments.
The Mercedes me Fuel & Pay software is activated automatically and appears on the MBUX infotainment screen when the driver reaches a connected service station and switches off the engine. The car will calculate the total price of a fill before refueling has even started by measuring how much space there is in the tank and multiplying it by the price per gallon at the service station in question.
The program is a joint operation between Mercedes and Mastercard and is initially only available at 3,600 service stations across Germany, though a global rollout seems likely.
