TELUS, a world-leading technology company, has partnered with Fillip Fleet, an innovator in digital fleet payments, to launch a next-generation fleet management solution in Canada, providing Canadian businesses with powerful tools to manage their fleets more efficiently and cost effectively.
Bringing together TELUS's Connected Fleet, Telematics & Assets technology alongside Fillip's payment platform powered by Visa, this new partnership addresses a significant market need, as Canada has 2.8 million fleet vehicles, which collectively generate USD 53 billion annually, with 80% being fuel spend.
Fillip Fleet is a digital-first universal fleet card, accepted at almost all 11,000+ fueling service stations across Canada, making it a versatile choice for fleet operators.

“This solution is about solving real-world challenges with smart, secure technology,” said Heather Tulk, President, Commercial and Public Sector at TELUS. “We’re transforming how fleets operate so our customers can save time, reduce spend, and improve control, with up to 10 hours saved each month on bookkeeping and 5-10% in annual cost savings.”
As the exclusive telecommunications partner for Fillip Fleet, a Canadian-owned and operated company based in Calgary, TELUS is first to market with this advanced digital expense management platform.
Fleet managers can access TELUS’s real-time fleet management capabilities and Fillip Fleet’s digital payment technology, providing comprehensive visibility and control over both vehicles and expenses through their respective platforms.
Drivers can pay for fuel and expenses using their phones through Fillip’s platform, taking advantage of Canada’s widespread acceptance of contactless payments at fuel pumps. Moreover, managers can set spending limits and track purchases in real time. The system also helps prevent fraud by matching vehicle locations with purchase locations, and helps save money through route planning and access to fuel discounts at partner stations.
