Crewe-based UK Fuels to support fleet managers with new variable-cost card

Cheshire company UK Fuels is launching a variable-cost fuel card to give fleet managers greater control over spending.

The Crystal Fuelcard, which the Crewe-based firm says is the first of its kind in the UK, will allow SMEs to determine the price of their fuel based on the volume purchased.

Users track data using a web- and app-based portal called Velocity.

According to UK Fuels, which forms part of payment services business Radius Payment Solutions, the card will end the need for firms to call providers and negotiate pricing on a regular basis.

Bill Holmes, the chief executive of Radius Payment Solutions, said: “In the current climate, customers want consistent transparent pricing and a solution, which places control back in their hands.

“We aim to make fuel cards more tailored to the modern consumer, looking for innovative ways to offer simple and clear fuel solutions, building on our more than 25 years of experience.”

Last month, Radius Payment Solutions pushed its operations outside Europe for the first time with a new office in Singapore office and another in Kuala Lumpur.
