About Scott:

I am an expert in the development of private label Fintech platforms for the modern automotive dealership and petroleum marketer.

I use over 20 years of private label fleet and loyalty payments in conjunction with a coalition of modern financial technology platforms to help retailers not just accept payments, but own them, via the development of a private label payment and reward network the helps drive customer loyalty, engagement, retention, and top line revenue.

With my help your operation can tap into a powerful revenue stream by monetizing your customers payments with our proprietary set of GasApp.io API’s from fuel to services and goods to BNPL and other automotive related expenses.

I believe the future of the automotive dealer and fuel merchants run parallel with a need for a challenger solution that future-proofs your business model by turning your customers into a digitally connected fleet of brand ambassadors.

From private label mobile wallets to debit cards to financial tools, your customers will be rewarded for making everyday auto related payments with your help. Real dollar rewards that keep your brand top of mind.
