That’s why it’s important to let us know right away if a card is lost by logging in online or by calling 1-800-267-0156.

Replacement cards are mailed within three working days, but can be sent overnight for a small fee. Normal replacement is up to seven days depending on mail.

What information does the driver have to enter at the time of sale?

For the Esso and Mobil Business Card, the driver must enter his or her Driver ID number. For the Esso and Mobil Premier Plus Business Card, they must enter their Driver ID number and odometer reading. The driver enters the information at the time of the sale at the pump or on the PIN pad at the counter. If a driver can’t remember their Driver ID number, they should contact their fleet manager.

Can I restrict fuel purchases to diesel?

No. Fuel restrictions by grade and/or type, including diesel, are not currently available. You can, however, restrict drivers from purchasing non-fuel products such as convenience store products. These controls are easily managed through your online account management tool.

Can I limit card purchases to a daily dollar amount?

Yes. You can also limit the number and amount of individual transactions allowed per day, and even limit purchases to specific times of the day or days of the week, using our online platform.

Can I go paperless and only receive my invoices online?

Yes! All customers must enroll in the online portal at www.essobusinessonline.com for billing and payment. You will automatically be set up with paperless billing but if you decide you want to receive invoices by mail, you can change that at any time by logging into your account or by calling the number on the back of your card.

Invoices are stored in PDF format online for up to the previous 13 months, so they are available for viewing, printing or saving at any time.
