Abstract
A system and method for automated remote payments between a vehicle and a refueling station is disclosed. The system may enable the vehicle to initiate an automated remote payment to the refueling station without needing the user to manually input transaction account information, or to manually prepay for the transaction. The refueling station may detect when the vehicle is in proximity, and the vehicle and the refueling station may open communications to transmit data. The vehicle may transmit vehicle identifying data to the refueling station, and the refueling station may communicate the vehicle identifying data to a payment network to authorize the transaction. In response to authorizing the transaction, the vehicle may proceed with refueling at the refueling station.
