Driving faster, smarter payments: How HiQi fuelled growth with Ecommpay

HiQi, the innovative Portuguese app transforming how drivers pay for fuel, partnered with Ecommpay to revolutionise its top-up process – boosting efficiency, customer satisfaction, and compliance with EU instant payment regulations.

Meeting the challenge of modern payment expectations

HiQi allows both private and business drivers to refuel and pay seamlessly – without queues or cash. But as the app grew in popularity, a critical challenge emerged: customers couldn’t easily top up their pre-pay accounts using their preferred methods, particularly account-to-account transfers.

We couldn’t offer account-to-account transfers, which is often the most convenient way for people to add credit to their accounts.

A smart solution with instant impact

To solve this, HiQi joined forces with Ecommpay. The integration was fast and smooth, enabling HiQi users to top up their accounts using a wide range of payment methods – securely and compliantly.

The result? A significant improvement in both the speed and quality of payment data, a dramatic reduction in false negatives from open banking, and a clear uptick in customer satisfaction.

Since joining forces, we have seen payments through the platform increase rapidly and customer satisfaction soar.

Scalable growth and measurable results

In just three months, payments through the Ecommpay platform grew from 5% to over 20% of HiQi’s total volume – proof of both the demand and the improved user experience.

Operational efficiency also improved. With fewer false negatives and less manual intervention, HiQi’s team could focus on growth and innovation rather than troubleshooting.

The Ecommpay platform has improved the speed and quality of information provided about payments.

A partnership built on understanding

HiQi credits Ecommpay’s deep understanding of their business needs and a hands-on approach for the project’s success. Every member of the Ecommpay team was committed to delivering results quickly and effectively.

Everyone in the team, without exception, was incredibly available and always had a huge desire to get the project up and running as quickly as possible.

The result is that payments are much faster enabling HiQi to have the confidence to meet the EU instant payments requirement, with secure and compliant payments.
