Filling ease. Once the card is inserted, the user's name and account balance will be displayed.

Wide acceptance. Sinopec Corp.'s card-accepting service stations could be found in the cities and along the highways across China. Users could conveniently fill at any of these Sinopec stations.
Purchase control. Sinopec Corp. could also help its business clients precisely manage fuels consumption by their fleet. For instance, a client with more than two vehicles could apply for one master card and several affiliate cards. The master card oversees the affiliate cards, limiting filling volume, enquiring detailed transaction information of each affiliate card and obtaining monthly account bills. The use of fuel cards could also be constrained to specific vehicle plate number, fuel type, filling stations and regions, number of daily transactions, etc, enabling the clients to manage the card use by their fleet.
