HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2017 – Today, P97 Networks and Buy It Mobility Networks (BIM) announced they have struck a deal with customer Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) to provide ACH based payment and consumer engagement services at Phillips 66®, Conoco® and 76® branded locations. The program will rely on BIM’s advanced technology to expand the capabilities of P97 Networks’ PetroZone® Mobile Commerce Platform and provide Phillips 66®, Conoco® and 76® branded consumers with a fast, easy and secure way to link their checking account to Phillips 66’s mobile payment offering.
Phillips 66’s mobile branded debit program will now operate via BIM’s white-label ACH platform, enabling faster consumer enrollment, increased consumer loyalty and engagement, consumer authentication and risk mitigation to dramatically reduce fraud, and guaranteed transactions that settle the next day to Phillips 66.
“We are really excited to be working with Phillips 66 and all three of their iconic fuels brands, as well as a world-class technology company in P97,” said BIM CEO Adam Frisch. “Not only will this partnership offer consumers a better and more rewarding payment option, but Phillips 66 will also benefit from a platform that enables them to develop more meaningful relationships with consumers, drive loyalty and lower transaction costs and fraud expenses.”
“Working with P97’s winning technology and BIM’s premier payment platform helps put Phillips 66 at the forefront of the mobile commerce revolution for branded fuel locations and c-stores,” Rod Palmer, General Manager Marketing Services. “With BIM’s ACH debit product in our branded wallets, most consumers with a bank account will have the opportunity to pay with their phone at our branded sites.”
