Fuel cards work as a normal bank card. They are assigned to specific individuals or vehicle registration numbers and are secured with a PIN code. They have restricted limits that cannot be exceeded. Debiting of payments is done on the basis of a deferred payment in the form of a summary VAT invoice issued and sent to the address of the company each month.
