What is a Shell Card and How Does It Work?
In today’s fast-paced business world, every dollar and every minute counts. For companies that rely on vehicles—whether it’s a single ute or a full fleet—managing fuel costs efficiently is key to staying profitable. This is where the Shell Card comes in.
The Shell Card is more than just a way to pay for fuel. It’s a smart business tool designed to simplify payments, control expenses, and streamline reporting. In Australia, Shell Cards are issued through Viva Energy and are trusted by businesses of all sizes to keep their operations moving.
How the Shell Card Works
Fuel and Service Purchases
When you or your drivers need fuel, simply present the Shell Card at any participating Shell service station (and partner sites, if included in your plan). The purchase is charged directly to your business account—no cash or personal cards needed.Tailored Control for Your Business
Each Shell Card can be assigned to a specific driver or vehicle. You can set purchase limits, restrict the type of fuel, block non-fuel items, and even control the times of day the card can be used.Consolidated Billing
Instead of collecting dozens of individual receipts, you receive one easy-to-read invoice for all your fuel purchases. Every transaction is itemised, GST is clearly listed, and you can see exactly who spent what and where.Streamlined Reporting
Shell’s online tools allow you to monitor usage in real-time, track driver habits, and identify opportunities to reduce costs. This makes fuel budgeting far more transparent and manageable.
The Benefits of a Shell Card
Improved Cashflow – Pay later via your invoicing cycle rather than at the pump.
Stronger Cost Control – Prevent unauthorised spending with tailored card limits.
Nationwide Convenience – Accepted at Shell and partner stations right across Australia.
Easier Tax Reporting – All GST is itemised, making BAS preparation simple.
Potential Fuel Discounts – Depending on your agreement, you could save per litre.
