01How it works

From payment to fill-up, in four steps.

From a phone anywhere in the world to a full tank in Tonga — with a code that can only ever be spent on fuel.

  1. 01

    Pay online

    Family overseas pays securely by card through Stripe.

  2. 02

    Sent after payment clears

    We text the one-time code to your family and email you the FuelPass — QR and 8-digit code — ready to share.

  3. 03

    Staff verify the code

    Your family presents the code at the counter, where staff check it before the fill.

  4. 04

    They fill up

    Fuel dispensed up to the FuelPass value — one fill, one time.

02Choose an amount

Fuel, in the amounts families need

Choose a TOP amount. Before payment, checkout shows the exact NZD total, including the service fee. The full FuelPass value reaches the pump.

A small service fee — 50c handling, 1% platform and the card-processing cost — is added at checkout. There is no minimum and no markup on the fuel itself.

03Why families choose it

Money that can't be diverted

A FuelPass is fuel, not cash. That single decision shapes everything else about the service.

Paid as fuel, used as fuel

You know exactly what you sent and what it's for. The FuelPass works only at Palu Fuel pumps — nothing else.

No smartphone needed

The code arrives by SMS. Your family shows it at the counter — no app, no internet, no printing.

Secure by design

One-time codes, hashed storage, Stripe payments, and every scan logged. A FuelPass can never be used twice.

Sent after payment, and traceable

We send the FuelPass after payment is confirmed. With an account, you can track it in your dashboard.

04The FuelPass

One code. One fill.

Every FuelPass carries a one-time QR code and an 8-digit secret code. Show either one at the counter — no app or printing required.
