BMW’s In-Car Payment system makes payments convenient and digital. Consumers who own one of the newest models may now pay without ever leaving their vehicles. Fuel and parking fees may now be paid directly from the car thanks to the new functionality. Digital transactions, which are now handled by the in-car system, provide safe and easy payment processing for German BMW drivers. The payment functionalities will gradually be extended to more nations.
Modern solutions are produced by modern systems.
Getting out of the car to find a cashier or a payment machine, and maybe even waiting for your turn? BMW’s new In-Car Payment technology streamlines the entire process by enabling transactions to be completed directly from the vehicle.
All automobiles running BMW operating systems 8, 8.5, and 9—and soon BMW operating system 7 as well—will come equipped with the Fuel Payment and Parking Payment applications as standard.
The driver only needs to enter their credit card information using the My BMW app or the appropriate option in the vehicle.
After that, they may electronically pay their gasoline or charge bills from within their car at participating Aral, Esso, HEM, Q1, Sprint, Team, and Allguth fuel stations. In Germany alone, 500,000 consumers will have access to the new feature.
It will be simpler for members of the BMW Group’s hydrogen pilot fleet to fill up their cars with hydrogen thanks to the availability of In-Car Payment for BMW iX5 Hydrogen drivers. Most H2 MOBILITY Deutschland fuel stations will be able to take digital payments, highlighting the leading hydrogen fuel network in Europe’s innovative position once more. This will make filling up with hydrogen even more easy, especially when combined with rapid refueling durations of three to five minutes.
A quality of an all-around talent.
This new function offers more benefits than just quick electronic payments. Finding local gas stations that take digital in-car payments is also made easy with the Fuel Payment app. By checking the online payments checkbox in Settings, you may access the same option via BMW Maps, whether you’re traveling the active route or not.
Additionally, drivers may use In-Car Payment to instantly pay for parking from within their car. When a user enters a parking zone that accepts online payments, those running BMW operating systems 8, 8.5, or 9 instantly recognize the choice and display it. Additionally, the reservation is immediately terminated as soon as the vehicle exits the parking lot once more. The My BMW app offers this capability as well as more details about current reservations, parking records, and payment options.
It’s easy to say and as easy to accomplish.
In-Car Payment is as easy to use as it is to set up. Customers may use the QR code on the central display and their smartphone to add their payment method and execute the one-time activation of the payment services after logging in with their BMW ID or BMW ConnectedDrive account.
In order to include additional options and novel aspects of the driving experience, the BMW Group is continuously improving the software and app features in its cars. Learn more about the BMW Group’s cutting-edge in-car features.
