Contis Group is launching a multi-currency cash replacement prepaid card solution for the European transport market (view press release). Dubbed credEcardplus, the solution will be offered to 128 European haulage customers of Contis’ client, Transport Consulting Services (TCS), providing long truck drivers and haulage workers with a replacement prepaid payment method. The solution is seen as an alternative to storing large amounts of cash in vehicles in order to fund routine expenses such as fuel, spot fines, motorway toll charges and accommodation over the course of a journey.
“The Contis credEcardplus prepaid solution enables us to offer our customers a low-cost means of managing their drivers’ expenses.” said Martina Zocche, director of TCS. “Since our customers have started to issue cards to their drivers, some companies have already witnessed significant reductions of up to 70% in time management, administration and ad-hoc costs incurred by the use of cash advance services. As one of only a few consultancy companies to offer such a solution in the European market, credEcardplus helps to differentiate us from our competitors.”
