Car IQ is the first payment solution developed for vehicles and fleets that enables vehicles to transact directly, securely, and autonomously with all payment networks, banks, and service providers. Their payment platform enables vehicles to automatically initiate and complete payments for services such as tolls, fuel, parking, In-Dash marketplace, and more.

  • Headquarters: San Francisco, CA
  • Executive team: Apple, Automotive, Visa, Blackhawk, Fleetcor

THE PROBLEM

Today, nearly $650B is spent on vehicle services using credit cards, debit cards, and ACH where people have to perform and manage the transaction. However, human-centered payments are flawed and can result in costly fraud. Today’s customer billing disputes cannot verify the actual vehicle, the service needs of the vehicle, or validate the vehicle received the service that is being paid for. This creates a security and fraud risk for fleet operators, merchants, and banks.

THE SOLUTION

Car IQ introduces radically new methods for payment authentication and pre/post service validation that mitigates fraud. These new methods for trusted identity enable payments to have regulatory and security elements built into the payment stream and allow cars to send payment instructions, created by Car IQ, directly to any bank or payment network globally.

Car IQ’s payment platform is a comprehensive banking and risk management solution specifically designed for cars. Car IQ has already partnered with several of the largest banks/payment networks in the world, including Citibank, RBC, and Discover Financial Services, to implement a new industry standard for Identity management for machine banking.
