Visa Collaborates With Paythru to Create a Flexible Fleet Wallet for EV Charging Payments
Paythru, the EV payments orchestration platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Visa to offer fleet operators and mobility platforms a white-label fleet wallet for electric vehicle charging payments, that works wherever Visa cards are accepted.
The wallet allows drivers to pay for EV charging via card or app while giving fleet operators control over usage, data visibility, and cost management. Unlike traditional fuel cards limited to a single network, the Paythru-Visa wallet works at any chargepoint that accepts Visa, giving drivers broad access without out-of-pocket expenses or manual reimbursement.
The platform can be embedded into any fleet operator’s existing IT systems, branded front-to-back for each operator. It combines Visa’s global payments network with Paythru’s orchestration layer, aligning charging data, pricing, and settlement across multiple EV charging networks into a single interface.
For operators, the wallet delivers full spend visibility across all drivers, locations, and networks, along with granular controls by driver, vehicle, time, or category. Consolidated billing removes intermediary fees and manual finance work, and usage data can be analyzed to optimize charging behavior and refine fleet policies.
“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,” said Richard Campion, Head of Fleet and Mobility at Visa Europe.
“As EV charging becomes central to fleet operations, payments move from being a back-office function to a strategic capability,” said Keith Brown, founder and CEO of Paythru.
Paythru is a cloud-based EV payments orchestration platform that puts user experience at the center of EV charging. The company’s platform lifts payment processing away from the physical chargepoint, enabling behind-the-scenes integration with multiple parties while presenting drivers with a single, simple transaction.
The platform supports payment via app, card, terminal, kiosk, or even SMS, and can handle bundled purchases like parking, charging, and transit tickets in one transaction. For operators, it provides revenue optimization, data insights, and monitoring across fleet and public charging assets.
Paythru serves car park operators, local authorities, fleet managers, and EV charging networks, handling the complexity of multi-network environments and automating reconciliation and settlement. Use cases range from split payments between parking and charging operators to loyalty schemes, route planning, charger pre-booking, and vehicle-to-grid integrations.
The company has built a partner network spanning kiosk solutions, contactless terminals, card issuing, geocoding, and fleet logistics. Paythru is headquartered in the UK and has executive leadership in the Americas as well.
