OpenWay Joins Forces with Visa to Advance Mobile Payments

OpenWay, a leading global provider of digital payment solutions, has partnered with Visa, a key player in the digital payments landscape, to deliver Visa Fleet 2.0 as part of the Ready for Fleet program. This collaboration marks a significant step towards revolutionizing how businesses manage mobility expenses through innovative payment solutions.

Visa Fleet 2.0 offers advanced mobility and fleet card solutions, allowing companies to efficiently handle and pay for expenses related to mobility. This includes, but is not limited to, fuel costs, tolls, parking, electric vehicle charging, and travel—all consolidated onto a single physical or digital card. The initiative underscores OpenWay’s commitment to advancing innovations in digital payments within the fuel card and fleet sectors while aligning with Visa’s vision for a sustainable and efficient global mobility ecosystem.

One of the standout features of Visa Fleet 2.0 is its incorporation of open-loop acceptance and sustainable development preparation, alongside advanced payment technologies—a combination that facilitates seamless expense control for fleet operators, leasing companies, and financial institutions. As many fleet managers are now looking to adopt electric, hybrid, or hydrogen-powered vehicles, the modular design of Visa Fleet 2.0 is equipped to support various energy sources and evolving mobility models, thus ensuring that businesses can adapt to changing market demands.

Through the Visa Ready for Fleet program, OpenWay has seamlessly integrated Visa Fleet 2.0 into its Way4 Fleet platform. This integration marks a vital advancement, enabling features such as card issuance, payment acquisition, and transaction processing for mobility expenses, fleet cards, and dedicated digital wallets—all within a single platform. Customers including banks, gas station networks, and mobility service providers are poised to leverage Visa Fleet 2.0, facilitating the launch of robust new programs and offering both physical and virtual card solutions.

Walter Van Huyck, the head of fleet and mobility card payment solutions at OpenWay, emphasized that the integration of Visa Fleet 2.0 is a significant leap forward in mobile payment management. He stated, “This integration into our Way4 platform enables our clients to offer smarter, safer, and more sustainable payment experiences.”

Richard Campion, head of fleet and mobility at Visa Europe, highlighted that the landscape of mobility continues to change, just as the needs of fleet operators and payment service providers evolve. Visa Fleet 2.0 has been designed with this adaptability in mind. “By partnering with OpenWay, we provide a secure and flexible solution that allows our partners to streamline operations and better serve their clients. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to building a more connected and efficient mobility ecosystem,” he remarked.

In summary, this partnership embodies a significant advancement for both OpenWay and Visa as they work together to innovate in the digital payment sphere. As businesses increasingly turn towards electric and alternative fuel vehicles, Visa Fleet 2.0 is well-positioned to support the future of mobility expenses management. With a robust platform like Way4, OpenWay aims to enhance the payment experiences for its users while paving the way for sustainable mobility solutions.
