Element Fleet Management launched Element Pay on 29 October 2026. It is a cardless fuel payment product from Element Mobility. Purchases link to the vehicle rather than a physical fuel card.
Crown Capital, described by Element as a management company for roofing-related businesses, is the named customer example. Element says Crown Capital reports 15% overall savings using Element Pay. It also identified US$150,000 in potential fraudulent spending over 90 days.
Element says Crown Capital cut the time spent helping crews resolve fuel-payment issues by 25%. Joel Vazquez, Director of Fleet Operations at Crown Capital, is quoted on Element's announcement saying crews need to stay focused on work, not on sorting out fuel cards or payment issues.
How Element describes the product
Element says drivers can pay through the Element Pay app using direct pay or tap to pay at supported stations. With direct pay, the vehicle initiates and authorises the transaction after verification checks. Element says a driver cannot independently authorise a payment without the associated vehicle being authenticated.
Element says Element Pay currently provides access to more than 85,000 supported fueling locations across the United States. Connected vehicle data can provide additional checks. Element says telematics is not required.
Read the numbers carefully. The 15%, US$150,000 and 25% figures are Element's customer claims in its launch announcement. They are not independently audited here. Ask for method, period and fleet size before you apply them to your own budget.
