i) Smart card concept

Smart card is an alternate way to the credit card to fill fuel at petrol stations. The concepts are
similar to credit card but these smart cards have pre-loaded funds available and purposely
created only to purchase petrol/gasoline at petrol stations. Cards can be recharged with
money at any petrol station retails shop and optionally over online websites. Using of smart
card requires smart card reader and the customer just need to inserts or swipe the card to
form the transaction. In order to accept smart card, petrol stations need to upgrade the
existing system by adding smart card reader to enable users enjoy the maximum benefit of
the cards. In terms of security, usage of special SAM (Security Access Module) smart cards
will secure the transactions to authenticate customer card and customers identification. The
existing system for credit card can be modified will low cost due to the functionally and
concepts of both cards are very similar.

ii) MyKad
Multipurpose Smart Card or well known as "MyKad" is a Malaysians personal Identification
Card incorporates a microchip, which contains several items of data including biometrics. It
is a first smart identity card with a microchip capacitate eight electronic conveniences on a
single platform, including Governmental services, border control, electronic payments, user
authentication, loyalty program, education, mobile applications, and others. With functions
of electronic payments embedded, Mykad has a great ability to be used at petrol station for
buying fuel. MyKad can bring us more convenient rather than more hassle with using credit
cards especially with rising number of crimes on credit card frauds. Usage of the Mykad for
fueling is similar to the debit card service, it requires consumers deposit an amount in their
debit card account before using it. The advantage of using Mykad is there is no need to carry
many credit or debit cards as it will exposed to credit card fraud and it’s the best way to
control the expenses ones do. The use of Mykad for buying petrol are encouraged by
government with rebate programs and discounts.
