Is my money safe?

How do I check the balance on my card?
To check your balance:
• Click on "Check Balance".
• Select your FuelCentral card.
• Enter your 16-digit card number (front) OR 15-digit tracking number (back).
• If you used the front number, you’ll be prompted for the last 6 digits of the back tracking number (and vice versa).
• Click "View Balance" to see your funds.

More actions once logged in: View card transactions, set up SMS alerts (R1.50 per SMS), block your card, or transfer funds between cards.
How long does it take for funds to reflect on my card?
Payments into your FulTank profile follow these rules:

• Payments need to be made before 3pm on any weekday to reflect the next morning at 8am.
• Avoid making payments on Friday evenings, weekends, or public holidays as these will only reflect the following business day.
• If you miss the 3pm deadline, the funds will not reflect the next day.
• Paying using “Instant Clear” does not speed up the deposit process.
• Always use your 16-digit card number (Front) as the only reference when making a payment.
• Failure to quote the correct reference number will result in a delay in processing.

Note: All top-ups (first-time and ongoing) may take up to 24 hours to reflect on your card. We are working on improving processing times. To avoid delays, always send proof of payment to payments@fultank.co.za and use your 16-digit card number as the payment reference.
Why must I send proof of payment?
To protect our customers and prevent fraud, we verify proof of payment before loading funds to your card.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery takes 3–5 working days. Deliveries within 20km of Pretoria are free, while outside Gauteng a R100 courier fee applies.
Can I get next-day delivery?
Yes, if you are within 20km and we receive proof of payment before 14:00 (Mon–Thu). Payments made on Friday are delivered on Monday. No deliveries take place on weekends or public holidays.
Can I apply for multiple cards for my family?
Yes. With our Family Pack option, you can get cards for yourself and family members. Each card can be loaded with any amount you choose.
Do I need a business to apply for a FulTank card?
No, FulTank cards are available for both personal and business use.
Does my card balance ever expire?
No, your funds never expire. If your card itself expires, you can simply order a replacement card and transfer your balance to the new one.
Can I withdraw cash or use the card online?
No, the FulTank card cannot be used for online purchases or ATM withdrawals. It only works when you purchase fuel at fuel stations.
Why might my transaction be declined?
Common reasons for a decline include:
• The card has not been linked to your profile or activated.
• Funds have not been allocated from your wallet to the card.
• You’ve exceeded the monthly limit of 80 swipes.
• Too many incorrect PIN attempts.

If the issue persists, please contact our support team at support@fultank.co.za or WhatsApp: 061 523 3186 for assistance.
How do I load my card?
You can load your card via EFT or bank transfer at no extra cost. We are also working on adding more convenient loading options soon.
How do I cancel my card?
Simply contact us to request cancellation. You’ll receive confirmation once the process is complete, and you’re welcome to reapply anytime in the future.
Can businesses use FulTank for fleets?
Yes, FulTank offers fleet management benefits including driver cards, rebates, and detailed reporting dashboards.
