Convenience retailer RaceTrac is partnering with payment processing solutions provider OnRamp. 

The partnership will offer secure, seamless and efficient payment experiences at all RaceTrac travel centers and RaceWay high-flow diesel stores, the Atlanta-based chain said in a Jan. 7 news release. 

“Our integration of OnRamp’s payment solutions is the latest in RaceTrac’s commitment to making the lives of our professional drivers simpler,” said Nick LaFalce, senior marketing manager, fuel programs and partnerships for RaceTrac. “This upgrade gives drivers the peace of mind they need to get back out on the road with confidence.”

OnRamp has a cardless payment system, designed to eliminate fraud in fuel payments, and also includes features like loyalty rewards and account management and support. 

“We’re rapidly scaling OnRamp’s diesel fuel solution, bringing our industry-leading cardless payment experience to more truck stops and convenience stores nationwide,” said Michael Morris, CEO of OnRamp. “This new partnership adds even more locations where drivers can pay seamlessly at the pump—no cards, no hassle—regardless of their route. We’re especially proud to partner with RaceTrac, a brand known for putting truck drivers first and delivering the kind of experience that aligns perfectly with our mission.”

RaceTrac’s retail brands include more than 800 RaceTrac and RaceWay stores, about 1,200 Gulf-branded locations and more than 445 Potbelly sandwich shops. Its affiliated companies include Energy Dispatch and Gulf Inc. 

OnRamp is building modern payments infrastructure for the transportation industry and operates a nationwide, fully integrated digital payments network at truck stops in the United States, the company said. Its payment processing solutions enable secure, efficient transactions for carriers and logistics companies, lower costs and eliminating fraud, it said.
