Mastercard Incorporated : ZENIT Bank Has Expanded the 'Cash with Purchase' Service Geography of the AZS TATNEFT Filling Stations Chain

PJSC TATNEFT named after V.D. Shashin, PJSC ZENIT Bank and the Mastercard service provider have expanded the geography of the 'Cash with Purchase' service. The project has been implemented at 144 TATNEFT filling stations at present located in the Moscow City, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Moscow, Ryazan, Rostov, Smolensk, Tula and Tver regions, Krasnodar Territory, as well as in Almetyevsk, Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny.

Holders of Mastercard cards can withdraw up to 5,000 rubles at the filling station cash register when paying for purchasing both gasoline and food staffs in cafeterias and the shops at the stations. At the same time, ZENIT Bank and AZS TATNEFT filling stations do not charge a commission for the operations performed. The service is available to customers of the banks, which have already connected the service. The list of filling stations where the new service is available can be found on the websites of ZENIT Bank, AZS TATNEFT chain and the Mastercard payment service provider.

Vasily Potemkin, Director of the ZENIT Bank Product Laboratory:

'ZENIT Bank systematically continues developing the 'Cash with Purchase' service. The service is available to holders of Mastercard cards only at present, however, other payment systems will be connected in the near future as well. We also plan to scale the project up to the entire network of TATNEFT filling stations. It is beneficial and convenient for everyone. The filling stations chain saves on the services of collectors, and the customers do not waste time looking for ATMs to withdraw cash'.

Vladimir Grigoriyev, Deputy Head of the Oil and Oil Products Sales Department of PJSC TATNEFT:

'The TATNEFT filling stations network does everything to make every client feel as comfortable as possible at our stations. We have solved another urgent 'problem' for motorists with the introduction of the 'Cash with Purchase' service: the lack of cash for personal needs. The client does not need to look for an ATM now. Each Mastercard holder can 'withdraw' funds from using the bank card when effecting a purchase at a filling station. The service is already popular, but we do not stop at that and we are preparing new interesting solutions together with partners'.

Alexey Volkov, Director of the Mastercard Product Development in Russia:

'Mastercard is continuously expanding the partner network of the 'Cash with Purchase' service in cooperation with Russian banks, ensure that our cardholders can save time by solving two problems at the same time and receive cash when paying for goods and services at the popular retail outlets throughout the country. We are glad that three months after the launch of the service at the first filling stations of TATNEFT, the service is already available at 144 filling stations of the network at present, and even more customers will be able to appreciate the convenience of the option to withdraw cash when they refuel their car or drop in to have a snack and drink a cup of coffee. We are also working together with our colleagues on scaling the 'Cash with Purchase' service to the entire TATNEFT network'.
