Common app questions
Answers about platform, security and day-to-day use.
Which smartphone versions are supported?
iOS 15 or newer and Android 10 or newer. That covers all phones shipped in the last few years. You can find the exact device list in the App Store and on Google Play.
Does the app work without reception at the station?
An active data connection is required for the refueling itself, since the payment is processed in real time. Most stations have sufficient mobile or Wi-Fi reception. Your drivers can still view fueling history and saved receipts offline at any time.
How secure is biometric payment?
Every payment is approved via Face ID, Touch ID or the Android fingerprint sensor. The biometric data never leaves the device. Even a stolen phone is worthless without its biometric owner — and you can lock the driver account centrally in the dashboard at any time.
Can my drivers install the app on their personal phone?
Yes. The DKV InstantFuel app runs on any private or company smartphone. A company device is not required. For your drivers this is often more convenient because they use their familiar phone — payments still run through your registered corporate credit card.
What happens if I switch phones?
When switching devices, the driver installs the app on the new phone and signs in with the existing credentials. All registered vehicles and history are preserved. The old device loses access immediately.
