Protection against abuse, transaction monitoring, and assistance in ongoing fleet expense control make up the new security package within the Shell offer. It is a collection of solutions that will not only ensure the security of every payment but also help streamline financial management processes in both small and large transport companies.
The security of transactions made with fuel cards, so important for fleet managers, is a priority for Shell. That is why the company is constantly developing tools that allow for real-time payment protection, effective fuel consumption control, and simpler fleet management. As part of the new security package introduced to the euroShell card offer at the beginning of 2017, transport company managers receive not only protection against financial losses resulting from dishonest driver practices but also support in ongoing expense control. Such solutions supporting transaction security are very important, especially since a report conducted by Edelman Berland on behalf of Shell confirmed that fuel fraud is a common phenomenon in fleets – as many as 97% of company managers notice it.
The primary advantage of fuel cards, which have become a permanent part of everyday fleet business, is transaction security. The new security package additionally allows for setting purchase limits on the card, not only in terms of amounts but also the number of transactions. All payments can be tracked in real-time on the Shell Card Online platform, where reports containing detailed information on expenses are also available, allowing for easy verification of any irregularities. Furthermore, the security package offers an SMS alert function informing about detected fraud, thanks to which the manager can analyze payments on the card account even faster. A special team of experts handles the constant monitoring of all transactions within the security package, thanks to which the fleet receives additional help in preventing abuse by drivers.
As standard, every payment made with a euroShell card is confirmed with an individual PIN code, and cashiers check the compatibility of the fuel card with the registration number of the vehicle to which it is assigned. The new security package is not only an additional strengthening of protection against fuel abuse but also support in controlling expenses and optimizing the costs of business operations, regardless of fleet size.
The security package is offered to all companies using euroShell and Shell PrePaid cards as part of an expansion of the subscription offer.
