Frequently asked questions

Motive integrates spend management (Motive Card) and fleet telematics (Vehicle Gateway) into one platform. This gives businesses an unmatched, 360º view of fleet and spend, which eliminates manual processes and makes identifying fraud easier. 

Shared data enables automatic detection of fraud in near real-time, allowing businesses to take prompt action to safeguard their spend.

In addition to fraud detection, the Motive Card offers:

  • Customizable spend controls. Set limits for individuals or groups of cardholders. Block specific merchants, establish spend categories, and control cardholder spend by amount, day, time, and more.
  • Partner savings network. Get significant savings on fuel, maintenance, and more at over 25,000 partner locations in North America, including Love’s, TA, Casey’s, 7-Eleven, Exxon, Discount Tire, and more.
  • Wasteful spend identification. Get actionable insights that help you reduce fuel costs and discover missed savings opportunities. You can even block locations where drivers regularly pay more for fuel.
  • Easy IFTA filing. Motive’s fleet and spend data help you file IFTA reports. Save time spent on manual reconciliations, automatically allocate distances and fuel transactions, and export your preferred file type.

Motive Card spending levels and categories are fully customizable. Fleet admins can set limits on:

  • When, how much, and where the cardholders can spend.
  • Specific days and times when the card can be used.
  • The amount that can be spent every day, week, month, and billing cycle.
  • Where the card can be used, including enabling or disabling transactions in specific categories like fuel, maintenance, supplies, food, and travel.

Fleet admins can also block specific merchants, ensuring drivers can’t use their Motive Card at those locations.

Fleet managers can receive email and app notifications. Suspicious transactions are also flagged and viewable in the Motive dashboard, providing additional details.

You can reassign Motive Card to the new vehicle or driver. The product will then reassess any fuel type mismatch.

We’ve measure our accuracy to be more than 90% when flagging fraudulent transactions. This is only possible because of our AI-powered platform that integrates fleet telematics and spend management, combining vehicle location with transactions.

If a fleet admin determines a transaction is not suspicious, they can review the transaction and share feedback on why the flagging was inaccurate. All feedback helps improve our models.

While many cards provide discounts, Motive Card uniquely integrates with our all-in-one fleet management platform. The result is real-time fraud detection tied directly to vehicle data like GPS and fuel tank levels. This added layer of protection ensures you get the most out of every gallon while safeguarding your assets.

Motive Card also operates on the Mastercard network, allowing to the cardholder to use it for all their fleet expenses, not just fuel.

Motive can conduct a personalized review of your current transactions and discounts to see if you would benefit by switching to Motive Card. Our finance team often offers additional rebates on top of our per-gallon discounts to help maximize your savings.

Motive Card has zero application, membership, transaction, or hidden fees. You’ll enjoy complete transparency, only pay for what you use, and have no surprises on your bill.
