Recent years have seen a growing number of people in the Philippines use the social media app Lyka for their networking purposes, but a partnership between Lyka and oil company Cleanfuel means that the app can now be used to make streamlined and cash-free fuel payments.
The app allows motorists who have a Lyka account to use electronic gift cards to pay for their purchases at a select array of Cleanfuel stations, with the first eligible locations to be made available in the capital city of Manila.
Given the increasing importance of cash-free transactions in a pandemic-stricken world and the growing popularity of mobile payments, this partnership between Lyke and Cleanfuel is poised to revolutionize fuel payments for tech-savvy motorists in the Philippines.
