For the Apple Watch payments process, users will have to navigate to the Speedpass+ watch app, select the pump they are at, authorize it for payment, and double-tap the side button to bring up Apple Pay. Once the payment is processed, users can begin fueling up their vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these updates to the Speedpass+ app, consumers now have even more options to pay for fuel while sitting in the comfort of their car \u2013 either using Ford SYNC 3 or the Apple Watch,\u201d said Matt Bergeron, vice president of marketing for ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants & Specialties Marketing Company. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is more than a cashless payment app; it is a platform that earns and redeems Plenti loyalty points and manages receipts. With ExxonMobil\u2019s heritage and commitment to innovation, the Speedpass+ app continues to bring new benefits to its users.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The update also comes with a new “Ford SYNC 3” feature that lets Speedpass+ app users easily authorize fuel payments using voice commands or an in-car touch screen, as well as check how much fuel is in the tank when away from their car using the app. <\/p>\n
The new Speedpass+ update follows the app’s introduction<\/a> of Apple Pay in March of 2016, which introduced the ability to pay for fuel using an iPhone and Apple’s mobile wallet. Exxon’s Apple Pay solution doesn’t use NFC reader technology, instead focusing on software within the app to use GPS and QR codes in order to authorize fuel payments.<\/p>\n
Fuel companies have slowly begun to adopt Apple Pay over the years, with Chevron opening up a pilot program<\/a> for Apple Pay fuel payments at a few of its stations in San Francisco in 2015. A few vehicle manufacturers have also rolled out Apple Pay support directly within their infotainment systems, with Jaguar and Shell partnering<\/a> up to allow drivers in the United Kingdom to pay for fuel with Apple Pay insider their car.<\/p>\n
