Kum & Go has announced that it is launching a new mobile fuel pay feature that will enable consumers to make gas purchases directly from their smartphone. The new feature will be available at all of the brand's 400 locations and will work by allowing them to start the pump without having to use the keypad to input information. The feature will work for &Rewards members and help them to earn rewards in an intuitive manner.
The Kum & Go mobile fuel pay feature was touted by President Tanner Krause who said, "Let's be honest, no one gets joy from starting a pump. On a cold winter's day, the last thing you want to be doing is standing outside paying for gas. Today, in our current moment, limiting common contact points is essential. So we created an app feature that significantly reduces the time to activate a pump and allows you to do most of it from the comfort of your vehicle. It’s the latest way Kum & Go is able to make your day better."
