Global Partners launches E-ZPass enabled payment

Customers can now make payments via text at over 300 locations in New England, New York, and Virginia.

Global Partners is teaming up with PayByCar to extend its services to more than 300 locations throughout New England, New York, and Virginia. 

This partnership builds on an existing program in Massachusetts with the mobile payments company specializing in pay-by-text solutions. At participating convenience stores, the system recognizes the vehicle transponder and sends a text message to the driver’s phone. The driver can reply with the pump number, and PayByCar automatically activates the pump, processes the transaction, charges the card on file, and sends customers an electronic receipt.

“At Global Partners, we are continually seeking new ways to enhance our guests’ experience. We’re excited to roll out PayByCar across our locations, providing our customers with the exceptional convenience and innovation they expect and deserve,” said Mark Cosenza, Senior Vice President at Global Partners LP.

In July 2024, PayByCar broadened its ‘Driven by E-ZPass’ non-toll payment program across the 20-state E-ZPass Group network. This initiative enables more than 59 million E-ZPass transponder owners to register on the PayByCar website and conveniently pay for fuel without needing to touch the gas station keypad, using their transponders.

Global Partners operates approximately 370 company-owned fueling stations and convenience stores, including a family of brands such as Alltown Fresh, Alltown, Xtramart, Honey Farms, and Jiffy Mart. PayByCar services will be available at locations throughout Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, and Virginia.
