Visa has announced the integration of Google Pay with its fleet card offerings, introducing tokenization and push-to-wallet capabilities across the digital wallet ecosystem.
With the integration of Google Pay tokenization and push-to-wallet, Visa addresses the long-standing challenge of fleet data tags being tied to the plastic card chip. Now, fleet data tags can be dynamically provisioned during the tokenization process. Once loaded into Google Pay, these fleet data tags allow Visa’s contactless specification to ensure that both token payment data and fleet data tags are efficiently transmitted to the POS systems.
Globally, fleet represents a USD 1.4 trillion opportunity on vehicle-related expenses by corporations, SMEs, and the public sector.
Historically, the end-user experience has been manual and inconsistent, as existing fleet tokens did not operate optimally for drivers at fuel POS terminals due to a lack of fleet instructions for prompting and purchase restrictions.
With Visa’s tokenization capabilities, now available for Google Pay, customers can benefit from:
- Dynamic provisioning - this integration solves this challenge by quickly enabling spend through digital credential push-to-wallet, card-on-file merchants, and the Click to Pay feature;
- Optimal timing - This improved digital experience reduces time to market, from 7 to 14 days with a physical card to just a few hours for digital wallet provisioning;
- Wider compatibility - With support for Apple Pay and Google Pay enabled in Visa Fleet Tokenization, approximately 92% of smartphones globally are compatible, based on global market share and NFC capability;
- Industry collaboration - Highnote, a modern card issuance and embedded finance platform, was one of the initial pilot partners selected by Visa to introduce tokenization and mobile wallet support for fleet cards. Highnote continues to work alongside Visa to modernize fleet payments through embedded and digital-first experiences.
Visa expanded stablecoin and blockchain support
In August 2025, Visa expanded its stablecoin settlement capabilities by integrating additional digital assets and blockchain networks into its existing infrastructure.
The company introduced support for two new USD-backed stablecoins, Global Dollar (USDG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD), along with the euro-backed EURC issued by Circle.
