 Mastercard announced today plans to integrate <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.masterpass.com&amp;esheet=51515602&amp;newsitemid=20170224005083&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Masterpass&amp;index=1&amp;md5=4f5e3c7a6fd5ef82128b008d409feb03" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Masterpass</a> 
 into Gulf Oil's new mobile payment application, <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gulfoil.com%2Fgulfpay&amp;esheet=51515602&amp;newsitemid=20170224005083&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Gulf+Pay&amp;index=2&amp;md5=86f7fff3920ba8f4f7afb5413a6d8279" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Gulf 
 Pay</a>. The new offering, powered by <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.petrozone.com%2FHome%2FWelcome&amp;esheet=51515602&amp;newsitemid=20170224005083&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=P97%27s+PetroZone&amp;index=3&amp;md5=7fcc8e16e5a2b2b5f85c27f59663606c" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">P97's 
 PetroZone</a>® mobile commerce platform, will enable Gulf customers to 
 find the nearest Gulf gas station and utilize mobile payment technology 
 to complete fast, simple, and secure payments at the pump and in stores.
 
 
 Masterpass will be embedded in the Gulf Pay wallet as an additional 
 secure payment method and will store all payment information, including 
 card details, shipping information, and payment preferences in one 
 convenient location. Masterpass leverages the most advanced methods of 
 payment security available today, including tokenization, which ensures 
 information is protected.
 
 
 With the integration of Masterpass in the Gulf Pay wallet, Gulf and 
 Masterpass customers will have a convenient, secure, and seamless 
 shopping experience by allowing payment authorization directly from the 
 comfort of their vehicle. Gulf plans to launch a pilot of the program at 
 Gulf retail fuel locations throughout New England and New York markets 
 in spring of 2017.
 
 
 "Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives and the launch of 
 the Gulf Pay app represents the next generation of payment options at 
 our branded stations," said Nikki Fales, Marketing Manager at Gulf Oil. 
 "By working together with Mastercard and P97, we will be able to deliver 
 better solutions for our customers and merchants."
 
 
 U.S. gasoline consumption has increased steadily for the past four 
 years, with consumers pumping more than 135 billion gallons of gasoline 
 in 2016 alone, per <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mastercardadvisors.com%2Fspendingpulse.html&amp;esheet=51515602&amp;newsitemid=20170224005083&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Mastercard+SpendingPulse&amp;index=4&amp;md5=66f18b3c55f8cd25154a98c834a2ea4f" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Mastercard 
 SpendingPulse</a>. As trips to the pump continue to increase, Gulf has 
 identified an innovative way to differentiate its services and build 
 loyalty among customers.
 
 
 "We know that consumers want to fuel up quickly and be on their way, so 
 we've partnered with P97 and Gulf to deliver a frictionless payment 
 experience to get people back on the road as fast as possible," said 
 Linda Kirkpatrick, executive vice president, Merchants &amp; Acceptance, 
 Mastercard. "The fuel category is a great example of where Masterpass 
 can deliver the speed a consumer wants with the security they've come to 
 expect from Mastercard."
 
 
 With Masterpass, users can make purchases in merchant apps or online by 
 simply clicking the Masterpass button and authenticating to complete a 
 transaction. In-store, users simply tap to pay at contactless-enabled 
 merchants and get on their way. For a complete list of Masterpass online 
 and in-app accepting merchants visit <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.masterpass.com&amp;esheet=51515602&amp;newsitemid=20170224005083&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.masterpass.com&amp;index=5&amp;md5=d9739c6def48ca95a2020d24db3a4e5a" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">www.masterpass.com</a>,

 "P97 is proud to bring together two partners, Mastercard and Gulf, as a 
 demonstration of how mobile technology can join business objectives in 
 retail fueling," said P97 CEO, Donald Frieden. "The powerful PetroZone 
 platform is strengthened by Gulf Oil's commitment to industry-leading 
 technology, and the proliferation of the robust ecosystem that 
 Masterpass provides."
