TotalEnergies Kenya Launches Next-Gen Mobility Card with Digital App and Offline Virtual Options
NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 10 – TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya has officially launched the New Generation TotalEnergies Card, a mobility and payment solution designed to give commercial fleets, business managers, and individual motorists unprecedented control, security, and visibility over their fuel and transport expenses.
The launch marks a significant digital evolution for a solution that has been central to Kenya’s transport and corporate logistics sectors for over 25 years.
First introduced as the Bon Voyage Fuel Card, it was Kenya’s pioneer fuel card and the first in the country to integrate chip technology for enhanced payment security.
It has since evolved from a traditional fuel payment card into a multi-featured digital mobility platform.
Addressing Modern Business and Cost Control Challenges
Kenyan businesses are operating in an increasingly demanding economic landscape where rising fuel costs and operational overheads directly impact profitability.
Commercial fleet operators and corporate enterprises are actively seeking automated, digital-first financial tools to improve operational efficiency, prevent fuel loss, and maintain strict budget oversight.
”Businesses today need greater visibility and control over their fuel expenditure than traditional payment methods can provide. Kenyan businesses are thus increasingly seeking digital tools to improve financial cost oversight and operational efficiency to manage rising operating costs and maintain profitability,” said Thibault Flichy, Managing Director of TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya.
“The New Generation TotalEnergies Card responds to this need by combining secure digital payments, real-time transaction monitoring, and simplified tax compliance in a single platform for better decision making and improved oversight of one of their largest operating expenses.”
The upgraded solution blends smart software controls, real-time data tracking, and flexible payment methods to serve both large corporate fleets and individual drivers.
Dual Digital Payment Options (Cardless Mobility): Includes the newly designed Mobility Pay mobile application for smartphones and a Virtual Card (OTP) option tailored for feature phones without active internet connectivity.
Real-Time Transaction Alerts: Provides instant SMS and email notifications after every transaction, complete with automated anomaly alerts to flag suspicious activities or out-of-policy usage.
Advanced Customer Management Portal: Gives fleet managers clear, real-time balance tracking, dynamic spend limits, geofencing options, and rule enforcement.
Station Pre-Authorization Mode: Enables exact, controlled fuel dispensing at station pumps to eliminate billing discrepancies.
Multi-Layered Security Protocols: Secures every payment using mandatory PIN codes, vehicle RFID tags, and One-Time Passwords (OTP) for app and virtual transactions.
Tax-Compliant Invoicing: Streamlines accounting workflows with simplified, tax-compliant invoicing aligned with statutory requirements.
Nationwide Network Acceptance: Fully supported across all TotalEnergies service stations countrywide for fuel, lubricants, solar products, and service bay solutions.
By offering cardless app and OTP options, TotalEnergies enables customers to cut down on physical plastic cards while enjoying a flexible digital payment flow.
Driving Digital Inclusion for Matatus and Boda Bodas
To ensure inclusive access across Kenya’s key transport segments, Matatu (minibus) operators and Boda Boda (motorcycle) riders can easily apply and onboard directly at any TotalEnergies service station across the country.
Corporate businesses and private motorists can also apply online via the official website at totalenergies.ke
The New Generation TotalEnergies Card sets a new benchmark for mobility solutions in East Africa, reflecting the company’s focus on technology-driven innovations that improve daily operations for both business fleets and everyday motorists.
