NEW DELHI: India’s first non-banking mobile wallet app Oxigen Wallet has partnered with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL)
While until now cash and cards had been the major accepted mode of payments at these petroleum pumps, the association is set to allow users to pay for fuel refills using Oxigen Wallet app.
Oxigen Wallet has been on a rapid expansion spree, following with the recent launch of Virtual Visa. The partnership is slated for further up the ante for Oxigen Wallet in the digital payments domain,as a benefit for the users. The recent alliance with the HPCL takes away the pain of carrying cash or paying for fuel using cards, thereby making payments swifter, and minimising credit card exposures .
At present, 61 HPCL outlets spanned across India, including New Delhi, Noida & Greater Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Chennai are prepped to accept payments directly from the Oxigen Wallet mobile app. In the coming two months, Oxigen Wallet is set to strengthen its partnership further, by on boarding more than 2000 HPCL outlets to accept payments for fuel using the Oxigen Wallet Mobile app.
Further commenting on the strategic alliance, Ankur Saxena, Director and Chief Mentor, Oxigen Wallet said, “We at Oxigen Services work passionately towards the digital revolution and it is our endeavor to provide premium services for digital payments to our users. We are excited to be partnering with HPCL and introducing mobile payments for getting the fuel. Making the payments secure and convenient, we are affirmative that our users would actively avail the service, paying for the fuel directly from their favorite Oxigen Wallet mobile app.”
Along with adding security, the entire process is pretty simple and straightforward. The user needs to generate a One Time Password( OTP) before entering the HPCL Outlet. The user then needs to share the OTP Pin along with their mobile number to the petrol pump representative and the required amount will be deducted from the user's Oxigen Wallet.
