Every Account has the option to permit as many authorized users as needed to manage your account from any computer with internet access.

Use the QUICKlinks in the side bar or scroll up/down to find everything you need to know about the CFN Cardlock Program, if you can’t find what you are looking for Contact Us!Card Options – All restrictions are Per Card and can be set specifically to each Vehicle or Driver’s fueling needs

Description – Each card whether Driver or Vehicle can be given its own specific description, such as Vehicle #345 or Driver John Smith. These descriptions will show up on your invoice as the card title with details of all transactions following. See Image in Detailed Billing.

Odometer – Use the odometer to track your vehicle’s mileage. Not only is it a good idea to track miles per gallon, but a drastic increase/decrease can be a good sign of misuse, lack of driver diligence, or equipment failure; all of which require attention.

Manual Entry – This option allows the driver to enter a number with each transaction to specify the vehicle that is being fueled. Our software then takes that number and links it to the vehicles file in our office, which combines all purchases and a list of drivers who fueled that vehicle on your month-end invoice

Customized Pin # – Pin #’s can be transferred from prior fleet program or simply changed at any time to meet your driver’s needs.

Single Card Program – The Single Card Program gives you one customized card per vehicle or driver in your fleet or a combination of both. All Card Restrictions and Card Options are available with the Single Card Program.

Two Card Program – The Two Card System issues a Driver Card and a Vehicle Card for every driver and vehicle in your fleet. A fuel purchase cannot be completed without the swiping of both a Driver Card and a Vehicle Card. Detailed billing then shows you a list of your vehicles and who fueled them. The advantage to this program is that one card cannot work without the other so if a card is stolen or lost it cannot be used without a partnering card even if they know the Pin#. All Card Restrictions and Card Options are available with the Two Card Program.

Floating Pin Program – The Floating Pin Program is the Single and Two Card Programs mixed together to create a “best of both worlds” card. A Floating Pin Card acts like a Single Card, in that you need only one card per vehicle, but each driver can use their own personalized Pin# to authorize the transaction, detailed billing then shows you a list of your vehicles and who fueled them. In essence, it is the Two Card Program without having to swipe the Driver’s Card. The Floating Pin Card works great for companies with driver’s routinely swapping vehicles. All Card Restrictions and Card Options are available with the Floating Pin Program.
