ViVOtech and Wright Express Done with Pilot

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sheetz Inc., Wright Express Corp. and ViVOtech have completed a multi-city NFC mobile payment pilot. During the trial, drivers used their Sheetz Fleet Business Advantage card loaded into their specially enabled near-field communication (NFC) mobile phones to make fuel and convenience store purchases at hundreds of Sheetz locations by just waving their NFC mobile phones at contactless-enabled readers. Wright Express was able to authorize and process the mobile transactions as easily as those done by drivers using plastic cards.

"The mobile payment pilot was a huge success, meeting and exceeding our initial objectives," said Russ Lamer, Wright Express manager of emerging technologies. "It helped us gain insight into the benefits of using a mobile phone as a payment device, document fleet driver usability at the pump and inside the store and also better understand the mobile payments operating systems."
