Fleet Super Card (3/8/00)


FULL STORY:

A super-duper business card is hitting the market this month. MasterCard, AmSouth Bank and Comdata Corp. have teamed up to deliver a new fleet card that combines credit, debit and purchasing card capabilities. The new card eliminates the need for separate vehicle and purchasing charge cards. It is also the first U.S. credit card with debit capabilities allowing the user to access personal funds. Issued by AmSouth Bank, the Comchek MasterCard Corporate Fleet Card will be accepted at all MasterCard merchants as well as 10,000 truck stops that honor Comdata's Comchek Card, essentially covering every fuel station, service station and auto parts supplier in the USA. The new, advanced fleet card is fully customizable by the fleet program manager.  With card level controls, the fleet manager can limit access and purchases by its employees. There are two Corporate Fleet Cards driver cards and vehicle cards. The vehicle card allows a company to effectively manage its assets by restricting the authorized use of the card to fuel and maintenance functions for the identified vehicle. Driver cards provide the basic functionality of the vehicle card with expanded flexibility. Additionally, the Driver card can allow users access to core Comchek functions, including long-distance telephone service, ATM access and expense reimbursement capabilities. Comprehensive and flexible reporting on one invoice for all related expenses provides all the information without the hassle of managing receipts. The MasterCard/AmSouth/Comdata team is set to initially roll-out more than 150,000 cards.
