Car IQ, a pioneer in payment technology for connected vehicles, has launched a new phase of **Car IQ growth financing**. Financial Technology Partners (FT Partners) will lead the company's capital raising and banking strategy. This initiative builds upon a recent $8 million strategic investment.
This new funding round aims to accelerate Car IQ’s next stage of growth. The company plans to scale its platform to recently signed customers across the Fleet, Banking, and Auto OEM sectors by 2026.
Scaling Autonomous Payment Solutions
Car IQ's payment platform currently supports hundreds of thousands of transactions for enterprise fleets. It handles fuel, tolls, and parking while reducing fraud. The AI-driven system integrates directly into financial networks and vehicle systems, replacing outdated credit card rails with secure, automated payments driven by vehicle data.
The company is building a new financial channel where machines manage payments directly. This approach differentiates Car IQ from traditional fleet card providers like WEX and FleetCor.
FT Partners will work with Car IQ to pursue institutional partnerships and strategic alliances. These efforts will fuel expansion and unlock new opportunities at the intersection of commerce, mobility, and FinTech.
Existing strategic investors in Car IQ include Visa, Citibank, RBC, State Farm, Circle K, Telus, and Bridgestone.
