No Justification for Suspending Use of Bank Debit Cards as Fuel Cards

The plan to use bank debit cards as fuel cards could have prevented the issuance of at least 10 million smart fuel cards and saved a lot of money. It remains unclear why its implementation was suspended at the eleventh hour.
According to ISNA, the scheme was ready to be launched in July. It was an achievement of e-government and could have helped the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company, speed up the process of preparing new fuel cards.
The first phase of using fuel cards at the filling stations commenced on August 13 in four mega cities --  Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan and Tabriz.
