The honest fuel card

Pay the pump price. Never a weekly markup.

Tanken has no price of its own. It's a VISA fleet card, so your drivers simply pay the live price on the pump, every time. Incumbent cards like UK Fuels and Allstar quote a fixed weekly price and bet you never check it. The driver app puts that weekly rate next to the pump price so the saving is impossible to miss.

  • No Tanken markup, ever. You pay the pump price, nothing added.
  • Pump price vs your incumbent's weekly rate, side by side at every station.
  • Sole card or backup. Keep your old card if you like, and only use it on the rare day its weekly price wins.

No hidden premiums

Premium fuels and carwashes, at cost price.

Incumbent fleet cards quietly add up to 25% on the things drivers reach for after standard diesel. With Tanken there's no markup on anything. You pay the pump price, full stop, and it's all available.

Everything in one place

Fleet control that takes minutes, not meetings.

One dashboard for every card, every driver and every litre. Set it up once, change it any time, and let Tanken handle the receipts and the watching.

Industry-leading granular controls

Cap spend per card, restrict to fuel only, lock cards to days, times, regions or specific stations. Freeze or change any card the moment you need to, straight from your phone.

Per-card limitsFuel-onlyDay & time rulesGeofencingInstant freeze

Issued immediately

Virtual cards are live in minutes for Apple Pay and Google Pay. Physical cards arrive in a few days.

Works everywhere

Not a closed network. If a station takes VISA, in the UK, EU or US, your drivers can fuel there.

Live anti-fraud protection

Every swipe is scored in real time. Odd location, wrong fuel type, too much, too often? You get an instant alert and can freeze the card in one tap.

Always the lower price

The app shows when the live pump price beats your incumbent's weekly rate, so your fleet always pays the lower of the two.

Receipts caught at the pump

The moment a payment authorises, the app nudges the driver to snap and send the receipt, done in seconds before they pull away. Every one is matched, VAT split out and filed automatically.

Centrally managed

See live spend across the whole fleet, top up or pause cards, add a driver, pull a report. One login runs everything, whether you have 3 vehicles or 300.

The admin disappears

Receipts and bookkeeping, handled before you get back to the office.

Two jobs that eat fleet admin, chasing receipts and reconciling fuel spend, just stop being your problem.

Captured the second they pay

The instant a payment authorises, the app pings the driver to snap and send the receipt, while they're still on the forecourt. No shoebox, no month-end chase, no missing VAT.

Straight into your accounts

Tanken pushes spend into the software you already run, with the receipt and VAT breakdown attached. Pick the level of detail that suits your bookkeeper.

Two ways to run it

Your only card, or your smartest backup.

Sole solution

Replace the lot

Hand every driver a Tanken card and run the whole fleet on one system. Real acceptance, real controls, one monthly statement, no fuel-network lock-in and no hidden weekly markup.

Backup card

Keep what you have

Already tied to a fuel card? Keep it. Use Tanken alongside it and let the app tell drivers which to use at each station, so you only pay the incumbent's weekly price when it's genuinely the cheaper one.

Up and running today

Three steps to a fuelled fleet.

Order your cards

Tell us how many vehicles you run. Virtual cards go live in minutes, and physical cards land on the doormat within a few days.

Set the rules

Pick spend limits, fuel-only, allowed days, times and regions for each card. Adjust anything later from one dashboard, instantly.

Drivers fuel up

They tap or swipe at any VISA station. Receipts and VAT are captured automatically and anti-fraud watches every transaction.

Fund it your way

Pay how it suits your cash flow.

Run fuel on credit, or keep it prepaid. Either way you stay in control of the float.

Put it on credit

2.5% surcharge your own terms

Connect a business credit card and let fuel ride on your existing credit terms. A flat 2.5% surcharge applies, so you keep the cash-flow headroom and the card rewards you already earn.

Top up a fuel account

Low-balance alerts no surcharge

Move money into your Tanken Fuel Account by bank transfer and your drivers spend straight from it. We watch the balance and alert you the moment it runs low, so a card never declines at the pump.

Clear pricing, no surprises

One price. Per card. That's it.

No setup fee, no transaction charges, no per-litre markup hiding in the background. Just £4 per card a month, paid up front, plus a one-off £3.50 to deliver each card. Everything else is included.

Good questions

The things fleet owners ask us.

Where can the cards actually be used?
Anywhere that accepts VISA. Tanken isn't a closed fuel network, so your drivers aren't hunting for "accepting" stations. That's more than 8,500 forecourts in the UK and hundreds of thousands across the EU and US, including motorway services, supermarkets and independents.
How quickly are cards issued?
Virtual cards are live within minutes of ordering and can be added straight to Apple Pay or Google Pay, so a driver can fuel up the same day. Physical cards are posted and typically arrive within a few working days.
Is it really a VISA card?
Yes. Tanken cards run on the VISA network, which is exactly why acceptance is so wide and the controls are so flexible. It behaves like the cards you already know, with a fleet brain bolted on top.
Can I control what drivers spend?
Down to a fine level. Set per-card daily or weekly limits, restrict spend to fuel only, lock cards to certain days, times, regions or stations, and freeze any card instantly. Change any of it from the dashboard or your phone in seconds.
Do I still get proper VAT receipts?
Every transaction is captured automatically with the VAT split out, then consolidated into one HMRC-ready statement each month. No chasing drivers for receipts, and your accountant gets a clean file.
How do I pay for the fuel?
Two ways, your choice. Put fuel on a connected business credit card and run it on your own credit terms with a flat 2.5% surcharge, or top up a prepaid Tanken Fuel Account by bank transfer and let drivers spend from the balance. With the fuel account there's no surcharge, and we alert you automatically before it runs low.
What can drivers actually buy on the card?
Diesel, unleaded, every premium grade, AdBlue, LPG and carwashes, all at no premium, so a tank of super-unleaded costs you the same markup as standard. You set per-card rules if you want to limit drivers to fuel only.
Does it work with my accounting software?
Yes. Tanken pushes spend straight into Sage, Xero or QuickBooks. Choose every transaction posted individually with its receipt and VAT breakdown attached, or a single consolidated figure for total fuel spend per day. Your bookkeeper picks the level of detail.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. It's £4 per card a month, paid up front, plus a one-off £3.50 to deliver each card. No setup fee and no annual commitment. Add or remove cards whenever your fleet changes, and run Tanken as your only card or a backup alongside your existing one.

Give your drivers a better fuel card.

Order in minutes, set your rules, and let Tanken handle the receipts, the fraud-watching and the price-checking. £4 per card a month, plus a one-off £3.50 a card to deliver.
