"I had an employee come in who had a card stolen. Within two minutes, I had turned off the old card, assigned them a new card, and they had already gotten a text that the new card was active. The product speaks for itself."

"The Coast portal is very intuitive. You can put vehicles in. You can put personnel in. You can put limitations on those accounts, and it's easy to come back in and make changes."

Stewart Masterson

President, Texas Solar Outfitters

"After seven years, [our previous fuel card company] still wanted to charge us a high risk fee, and they weren’t budging on it. Switching to Coast saved us $1600 dollars a month."

Christian S.

Manager, CAM Energy

"We now have timely data about who's filling up with gas, how frequently they're filling up with gas, and we're able to have controls in place so that we don't have to find out retroactively that we're overspending on gas."
