Visa and Paythru launch EV ‘fleet wallet’ compatible with all UK chargers

EV payments platform Paythru has teamed up with Visa to create a white-label fleet wallet for electric vehicle charging payments.

The payment solution allows fleet drivers to charge at any UK EV charge point

Targeted at fleet operators and mobility platforms, the payment solution allows fleet drivers to charge at any EV charge point, whilst giving fleet operators control of usage, data visibility and cost savings.

The partnership with Visa means drivers can pay at any charge point that accepts Visa cards

It’s unique in the EV charging marketplace as most ‘fuel cards’ are limited to charge points in the fuel card owner’s network.

The white-label platform can be embedded into any fleet operator’s existing IT systems, with a front-end app and back-end data interface branded for each operator.

Keith Brown, founder and CEO of Paythru, said EV charging payment have moved from being a back-office function to a strategic capability, as EV charging becomes central to fleet operations.

“This partnership equips fleet operators with the infrastructure to offer charging as part of their mobility service, under their own brand, without the complexities or constraints of traditional payment systems.”

The partnership combines Visa’s global payments network with Paythru’s orchestration layer, which aligns charging data, pricing and settlement across multiple EV charging networks. Fleet operators can control what drivers can pay for – with all transactions consolidated into a single system for visibility, settlement and spend management.

This setup delivers increased flexibility for drivers, whilst giving fleet operators complete control over the payment experience, without building payment capabilities in-house or relying on third-party aggregators.

Benefits for fleet drivers include a simple and familiar payment experience – the Paythru–Visa white-label wallet is built into the fleet’s existing app or issued as a digital card in their mobile wallet.

Drivers gain from a universal way to pay everywhere, accepted at any EV charger, as well as make other mobility payments such as parking or toll payment (defined by their employer), without worrying about which network is approved.

Payments are approved automatically – no receipts, no claims. There is also the functionality to support real-time discounting where appropriate.

It’s also designed for a clear, seamless experience. Pricing and authorisation happen in the background, so charging starts smoothly and completes without payment friction.

The Paythru-Visa white-label wallet can also incorporate company preferences. The app can highlight preferred chargers, discounted locations, or company policies, without blocking drivers when alternatives are needed.

For fleet operators, the wallet goes above traditional payment tools to provide a control and visibility layer, with full spend visibility, granular controls, consolidated billing and settlement, and policy and optimisation insights.

The platform is also future-ready, designed to scale as fleets grow and to support new EV services such as Plug & Charge.

Richard Campion, head of fleet and mobility, Visa Europe, said: “This partnership enables a flexible fleet wallet that works wherever Visa cards are accepted, while giving fleet operators the control, visibility, and reliability they need to manage EV charging at scale. Together, with solutions such as Visa-enabled fleet 2.0 payment cards, we’re removing the friction of closed-loop systems and helping fleets transition to electric with confidence.”

Keith Brown from Paythru added: “The partnership with Visa is a major enabler of Paythru’s fleet strategy, which is all about empowering fleet operators and mobility platforms to own their charging payment ecosystem.”
