Piston

Piston replaces card administration and fragmented fuel reports with a live control center for drivers, vehicles, policies, transactions, alerts, and rebates.

Drivers fuel through the Piston app. At most sites they unlock the pump directly; authorization-code and QR experiences support other enabled locations. Every flow is completely cardless.

A card sees an account number. Piston sees the driver, device, vehicle, station, pump, fleet rules, and telematics, then evaluates the fill before authorization.

Keep control far from the home terminal with verified drivers, vehicle-aware rules, telematics, and a network shaped around where your fleet runs.

Two sides of one direct commercial-fueling network.

Piston delivers a secure, cardless digital payment platform with fast, compliant, and reliable transactions for modern fueling needs.

Piston is a direct payment network designed for commercial fueling, linking fleets and merchant partners for improved control and data sharing.

Fuel every vehicle. Control every gallon. No cards. Piston is the cardless fuel platform for commercial fleets — fraud prevention before the pump unlocks.
