About
- Piston Pay is a cardless fuel payment network for U.S. commercial vehicle fleets
- purchases are authorized through the Piston Fuel mobile app before the pump unlocks.
- It also provides fleet policy controls, fraud review, and merchant-negotiated fuel rebates.
What it helps with
- Physical fuel-card fraud and shared-PIN abuse, since cards carry only an account number
- Post-transaction fraud discovery, because risk is checked before the pump unlocks rather than reconciled afterward
- Wasted gallons and over-purchasing, which Piston claims can be reduced by 7–8%
- Card administration overhead, since there is no card to order, replace, or reassign
- Opaque fuel spend, addressed with real-time visibility and plain-language analytics
- Finance and ops review workload, reduced by AI triage into a focused review queue
