In a significant advancement for the convenience and efficiency of fuel transactions, On-Line Strategies (OLS), a subsidiary of InComm, has announced a strategic partnership with National Bankcard Services (NBS). This collaboration, announced on November 15, 2017, aims to enable prepaid card transactions directly at gas pumps across the nation.
Enhancing Fuel Payment Options
InComm, a leader in prepaid and payment solutions, continues to innovate through its subsidiary OLS. By joining forces with NBS, a company known for providing cutting-edge payment solutions to the petroleum industry, the partnership seeks to streamline and simplify the process of using prepaid cards at gas stations.
The integration of prepaid card acceptance at gas pumps is expected to provide numerous benefits for both consumers and gas station operators. This initiative addresses the growing consumer demand for more flexible payment options and the convenience of using prepaid cards directly at the pump.
A Win-Win for Consumers and Gas Stations
“Partnering with National Bankcard Services allows us to offer a valuable service to consumers who rely on prepaid cards,” said Terry Richards, CEO of On-Line Strategies. “Our goal is to make fuel transactions as seamless and convenient as possible. By enabling prepaid card use at the pump, we are catering to a wider range of customer needs and preferences.”
For consumers, this means the ability to pay for fuel without having to go inside the gas station, saving time and providing greater flexibility. Prepaid cards offer an alternative payment method that can help consumers manage their budgets more effectively.

We believe this partnership will benefit both gas station operators and their customers by providing a more efficient and convenient payment option.”

- Increased Convenience: Consumers can use prepaid cards directly at the pump, eliminating the need to enter the store.

By addressing consumer needs for convenience and flexibility, they are setting a new standard for fuel transactions.
