Drivers got the opportunity to pay for fuel in the Yandex.Fuel application using the fast payment system (FPS), a service of the Bank of Russia that allows them to make interbank transfers around the clock using a mobile phone number. On Monday, December 20, the company informed Izvestia about this.
They also clarified that about 37 million motorists will be able to use the payment function through the SBP, using, among other things, the Yandex.Navigator and Yandex.Maps applications.
It is noted that in November, drivers purchased fuel for more than 100 million rubles using Yandex.Fueling.
“The SBP simplifies the familiar contactless refueling process for drivers. To motivate them to try a new and unusual payment method, we launched a special promotion. Until the end of winter, motorists will be able to fill in 100 liters through the UPS at a discount of 3 rubles per liter, ”said Artem Prudnikov, head of Yandex.Fueling.
In addition, the company noted that in order to use the SBP, it is not required to bind a bank card to the Yandex application. In addition, the change will be returned almost instantly if there is not enough space in the tank and less fuel is poured than paid.
Yandex.Zapravki will also help you pay for refueling, compare prices at gas stations along the route, order food or pay for fuel. Without leaving the car, the driver can also leave a tip, as well as connect loyalty programs to fuel networks.
The service is already used by more than 1 million motorists, they pay for refueling there in the amount of more than 5 billion rubles a month, the company said.
As Izvestia was told in the press service of the Central Bank on December 14, payment through the SBP is possible using different scenarios, including one-click. This allows us to make payments on the fuel market “as convenient as possible for customers”.
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation developed the concept of the digital ruble back in April 2021. At the beginning of 2022, a prototype of the national digital currency will already be tested.
