BP has launched a new app that offers smartphone payment as well as a number of extra features.

The BPme app offers smartphone payment and more

Dubbed BPme, the app makes use of a personal pin or Touch ID to enable drivers to pay for fuel prior to filling up, with an email receipt automatically sent for customer records.

Drivers can also connect their Nectar account, view transaction history, locate their closest BP service station and offset their carbon emissions caused from driving through BP’s Target Neutral programme, with more features to follow.

Free to download and available for the latest versions of iOS and Android, the app can be used at more than 500 participating BP sites nationwide, with more sites being added weekly.

Nicola Grady Smith, head of retail UK, said: “As part of BP’s digital transformation, BPme is the first step in changing the ways we interact with our customers. It will allow us to engage with drivers in a more direct and personal way and enable us to enhance our communications with the individual customer.”
