OASE

What is OASE?

Tokheim OASE™ (Online Authorisation and Switching Environment) is a cloud-based payment gateway from Dover Fueling Solutions. It connects the station's terminals and POS system to all bank and fuel card networks through one security scheme and one protocol, and it manages keys, protocols and card rules centrally. TSG delivers OASE in the Nordics and integrates and services it together with Crypto NOVA and Crypto VGA terminals, dispensers and POS systems.

Instead of each station handling security keys and different protocols for every card company, the station connects to OASE once, with one security scheme and one protocol. From there, OASE routes the transaction to the right bank or fuel card acquirer, or authorises it directly. Once the station is connected, accepting new cards is easy.

OASE can also serve as a shared payment platform for both refuelling and charging, so customers can use the same cards at the dispenser and at the charger.

Payment handling: all cards, one place

OASE handles payments at the dispenser and in the shop, with bank cards, fuel cards and mobile.

  • Bank cards: Visa, Mastercard and American Express, plus the Nordic cards Dankort and BankAxept. Dankort transactions are routed to Nets.
  • Fuel and fleet cards: over 250 fuel cards through secure connections to the issuers.
  • Payment methods: contactless, chip and PIN, plus mobile payment via app and NFC.
  • Free choice of acquirer: choose the acquirer that offers the best fees and service, and switch without replacing equipment at the station.
  • Across countries: consolidate transactions from several countries with the same acquirer and strengthen your position when negotiating fees.

Security: built for payment cards

Card payments come with strict security requirements, and every single station must meet them. OASE moves the hardest part away from the station and brings it together in a central, secure environment.

  • Central key management: security keys are managed centrally instead of at each station.
  • One security scheme and one protocol: encryption is based on 3DES DUKPT, and communication follows the IFSF industry standard.
  • PCI DSS and P2PE: the solution supports and reduces the burden of the PCI DSS and P2PE security standards in combination with payment terminals such as Crypto VGA and Crypto NOVA.
  • Banking standards: OASE complies with the relevant standards set by the banks.
  • Fraud control: stop lists and logging of PIN attempts.
  • Access control: single sign-on for platform users.

Scale: Europe's largest payment gateway in fuel retail

OASE is not a niche service. Tokheim OASE™ is Europe's largest payment gateway for authorising and switching fleet and bank cards in fuel retail, and stations on OASE are connected to the same network as thousands of stations across Europe.

Operational benefits: less to keep track of

  • Less local complexity: no key management or card protocols to maintain at individual stations.
  • Lower integration and operating costs: standardised protocols mean fewer integrations and less maintenance.
  • New cards without new projects: once the station is connected, it is easy to accept new cards and reach more customers.
  • Central control: transactions are processed in real time and managed centrally across the entire station network, including chargers.
  • Faster payment: shorter authorisation times at the dispenser and in the shop.
  • One partner: TSG delivers, installs and services terminals, dispensers and POS systems, and integrates payment through OASE.

Four ways to use OASE

Bank card switch

OASE routes bank card transactions to the acquirer of your choice, in line with the acquirer's security and protocol requirements.

Fuel card switch

Through secure connections to fuel card issuers, OASE gives the station access to a wide range of fuel cards. For issuers, the installed base of Fuel POS is a fast route to acceptance across Europe.

End-host

OASE can process fuel cards online as a fully managed service. The issuer sets its own rules, such as stop lists, permitted cards, spending limits and settlement files, without building a secure infrastructure itself.

Mobile payment

OASE provides switching and end-host services for mobile payment providers. Payment apps connect to existing card and settlement processes without a new integration for each station. Read about MobyPay

From terminal to transaction: TSG brings the solution together

OASE is only one part of the payment. TSG delivers the rest of the chain, so you have one partner for the whole solution:

  • Crypto NOVA and Crypto VGA payment terminals at the dispenser and in the shop
  • Electronic Payment Server (EPS) and POS systems such as Tokheim Fuel POS and Prizma
  • Installation, integration and service of dispensers, terminals and payment systems

Service close to the station

TSG services around 4,900 stations in the Nordics and knows dispensers, terminals and POS systems inside out. When OASE is part of the solution, the station has one partner for the entire payment chain, from the terminal at the dispenser to the transaction in the system. Payment questions go to TSG Helpdesk as a single point of contact.
