This "Apply and Buy" feature is available today to consumers nationwide
through ExxonMobil's Speedpass+ app, which can be downloaded through the
Apple app store or Google Play and used at thousands of Exxon and Mobil
stations. The new functionality leverages tools and security features
provided by Equifax, the global information solutions company.
"Citi's Apply and Buy technology is a groundbreaking digital advancement
for the fuel industry and will deliver convenient payment options and
ongoing savings to drivers nationwide," said Craig Vallorano, Head of
Citi Retail Services. "ExxonMobil is an exceptionally innovative partner
and we are excited to expand our relationship to include mobile
payments."
"Citi Retail Services, supported by Equifax, has helped us deliver this
innovative mobile feature that allows consumers to quickly and
seamlessly apply for a Smart Card, which will be automatically added as
a payment option within the app once approved," said Miguel Castillo,
Americas payments marketing manager for ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants &
Specialties Marketing Company.
Consumers who apply for a new ExxonMobil Smart Card by July 31 are
eligible to save 20 cents on every gallon of Synergy™ fuel for the first
two months from their account opening date. Following that, cardholders
save six cents on every gallon of fuel purchased at all Exxon and Mobil
locations in the U.S. using either their Smart Card at the pump or
within Speedpass+.
"It's been our pleasure to power this innovative partnership using our
best-of-breed data and unique technology," said Lindsay Soergel, GM,
