Yandex added a system of fast payments to pay for fuel to the Yandex.Fuel application

The Fast Payments System (FPS) has been launched in the Yandex.Fuel app. Now drivers can pay for fuel through the UPS without linking the card to a mobile application or Google Pay and Apple Pay systems. The editorial office of Yandex told about this. Also, SBP is now available in two other Yandex driver applications - Maps and Navigator.

“SBP simplifies the usual contactless refueling process for drivers,” confirmed Artyom Prudnikov, head of Yandex.Fueling. “To motivate them to try a new payment method, we launched a special promotion. Until the end of winter, motorists will be able to pour 100 liters through the UPS at a discount of 3 rubles per liter. "

As indicated in Yandex, since the start of testing the system in November of this year, about 70 thousand drivers managed to use the function. They refueled with payment via SBP 115 thousand times, spending more than 150 million rubles. With the launch of the system in applications, fast payments are now available to about 7 million motorists who monthly use the Gas Station, Maps and Navigator services.

Yandex.Fueling is designed to help drivers in everything related to fuel and filling stations - paying for refueling, price dynamics at stations along the route, connecting loyalty programs to fuel networks, ordering food and tips for filling staff. According to Yandex, the service is used by more than 1 million motorists who pay more than 5 billion rubles a month.

Since December this year, prices for using the service have increased by an average of 1.2% (in this case, percentage points) - up to 2.99% plus VAT or 3.59%. Yandex explained that the slight increase in tariffs was caused by "the need to improve the work of the server side and ensure the speed of the application." FAS indicated that it is aware of the situation and is ready to "take action in case of violations of the law."
