The Plumbing Plus Z Card Benefit

Z Card is a highly effective administrative tool, whether your fleet consists of 1, 2 or 20 vehicles.

Your drivers simply present their Z Card every time they fill up at a Z Energy service station or truckstop.  You automatically save on paperwork, hassle and even fuel prices!

Plumbing Plus Z Card is managed in association with NZRA and Z Energy.

Further detail on Security Features

PIN number
More and more employers are choosing compulsory PIN. This means that your driver will have to enter the PIN, just like EFT-POS, rather than sign. This reduces the chance of a lost or stolen card being used fraudulently.

Z Card Limits
Setting appropriate limits enables you to control driver spend and minimises your exposure in the case of lost or stolen cards.  As you can see below these new limits can be set for both daily and monthly usage:

• Card Daily Limit - choose enough to fill the tank: $50 to $5000 
• Card Monthly Limit - from $100 to $30,000

If you would like to make changes to your limit, that's easy too.  Simply download the Z Card Limit Amendment Form.

You can check your card limits on your Z Card Invoice.

Card Types
Personal Closed cards are ideal if your drivers have their own work vehicle.
Personal Open Cards are ideal if your drivers either:

• have their own vehicles, but sometimes need to use other vehicles such as pool vehicles or hire cars
• do not have their own vehicles, but you would like to track how much each driver spends on fuel

Vehicle Cards are useful when you have pool or shared vehicles and do not want, or need, to issue each driver with their own card.

Purchasing Options
Choose from a wider selection of purchasing options - and be more specific about what products and services your drivers can purchase:

• Fuels - restricts purchases to a specific fuel products or a combination of ZX Premium, Z91 Unleaded, Z Diesel or Z Autogas.  
• Services - restricts purchases to specific motoring needs such as Oils, car servicing through to Autocare and Car Wash
• “All Services” - allows the purchase of ANY goods and services at Z Energy Service Stations.
