Circle K just launched a brand-new mobile app designed especially for fleet drivers, and it’s all about convenience and security. Powered by Car IQ — a company Circle K invested in back in 2023 — the app makes it possible to pay for fuel without ever needing to swipe a credit card, enter a PIN, or punch in your odometer reading.
Here’s how it works:
Car IQ’s platform uses data directly from your vehicle to handle payments automatically. So when a fleet driver rolls up to a Circle K gas station, they can open the app, connect to the store ahead of time, and fuel up without dealing with any of the usual steps. No more cards. No more PINs. Just tap and go.
One of the biggest benefits? It helps drivers avoid credit card skimmers — those sneaky devices that steal card info at the pump. With this system, there’s no physical card involved, which adds a much-needed layer of security.
The app also includes live in-app support in case drivers need help on the go. Plus, there’s a personal dashboard where users can view past transactions, manage expenses, and keep an eye on spending trends — perfect for back-office reporting.
Car IQ CEO Sterling Pratz said in a statement that Circle K is using their tech to offer a fully digital fueling experience. Not only can fleet vehicles fuel up at Circle K stations, but they’ll also be able to pay at other major fuel brands across the country.
Circle K’s parent company, Alimentation Couche-Tard, didn’t provide a comment — but the app’s benefits speak for themselves. For busy fleet drivers, this could be a game-changer.
