YPF has begun updating its application to transform it into a digital wallet that will allow payments linked to mobility services. The company will add the option to pay for fuel in dollars, with direct debit in that currency, through the YPF App. This feature will begin to be available in the coming weeks.
The initiative is part of a strategy by Javier Milei's government aimed at promoting the use of the dollar in everyday transactions. Although the use of debit cards in dollars has been enabled since March, this method is still mainly used for purchasing goods such as cars or properties.
With this development, the state-owned oil company is providing a new digital option to its more than 4.5 million active users of the application. Meanwhile, YPF plans to expand the scope of the nighttime discount, one of the most valued benefits by its customers.
Since its implementation, the company has recorded a 28% increase in fuel sales made between midnight and 6 a.m., compared to the average of the previous three months. This increase was especially evident at service stations located in urban areas with high vehicle traffic.
