Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0358525A2] A cashless transaction system, in particular for paying for fuel at a petrol station, includes a key fob (1), issued to the driver of a vehicle and containing a processor, memory and input/output means; and a complementary read/write unit (13) at the station, the fob acting as a credit card, debit card or pre-payment card to pay for fuel received. Data is transferred by contactless coupling between the fob and read/write unit.
