First Data Independent Sales Petroleum Plus Plan

As more distributors cut their ties with their gas company partners and become independent marketers and dealers, they come face-to-face with the need to offer customers the same services they did when they were part of a larger company. FDIS has a transaction processing program specifically for this market segment.

The FDIS Petroleum Plus service brings all credit card and payment solutions, including debit and fleet cards, directly to the pump. A dedicated implementation team encrypts customer data from the pump and inside the store. FDIS Petroleum Plus service also provides fraud protection with the Address Verification Service (AVS), which requires credit card users to put their zip code into the keypad at the pump. If the system does not recognize the zip code, the customer is asked to go inside the establishment to pay.

Featured Service: Velocity Checking

Velocity checking, one of the features of FDIS Petroleum Plus program, limits the number of times a credit card can be used at the pump in a given time period. Each card is assigned a maximum number of transactions on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Velocity checking is a great fraud prevention device as it puts limits on credit cards. It protects employers, who hand out company or fleet cards, and the station owners themselves, who may have unscrupulous employees trying to charge something on customers' cards.
