QuikQ has secured merchant agreements for its Fuel Card platform with Love’s Travel Stops, TravelCenters of America, and Pilot Flying J. The merchant agreements combined with independent truckstop agreements give QuikQ a nationwide footprint for the fuel card platform.
The platform includes the SmartQ payment fuel card, a radio frequency identification-based, a card-free system called Start, a card-free payment solution that processes transactions initiated with unique identifier codes, and a mobile app. QuikQ also offers Q-Checks, cash advances, payroll cards and other options.
“QuikQ products fundamentally improve fuel transaction processing through innovative technology that increases transparency and reduces cost,” said Dean Troester, QuikQ CEO. “We now have a portfolio of solutions that we believe is a more affordable and convenient approach to payment transactions than is available today, so much so that we expect to be the low-cost provider to merchants and fleets.”
QuikQ has supported Love’s private label payment platform– Love’s Express – for more than five years. Love’s Express will provide a foundation for QuikQ to build its momentum in the trucking industry with a streamlined approach to reducing fees and creating a more direct, transparent relationship between merchants, carriers, and payment solutions providers, according to the company.
