Piston

Piston is a cardless payments network connecting commercial fleets with gas stations and convenience stores across the United States. Its mobile authorization technology is built into the point of sale, tying every fuel purchase to a specific driver and vehicle in real time to eliminate card skimming fraud and cut transaction costs for both fleets and merchants. Headquartered in Cupertino, California and founded by former fleet operators, Piston is live at more than 2,000 stations across 48 states and is extending into broader logistics payments infrastructure.
