Become a Retail Partner
Help your customers buy RUC at your store.
Be there when 4 million Kiwis pay
From 2027, every NZ light vehicle pays Road User Charges. Most drivers will top up weekly or monthly, and they'll come back to the same store every time.
RUC Pass turns that habit into your steady income.

What your staff actually do
Three zeros that make this easy
Zero training
If they can scan a barcode and take payment, they can sell RUC. That's it.
Zero accounts to manage
RUC Pass handles every account, every customer detail, every record.
Zero mistakes to fix
Real-time approval. No data entry. No paperwork to chase.
They scan. They take payment. That's it.

Two ways to partner
Pick what works for your store.
Sell Passes + Process Top-Ups
Stock RUC Passes at a fixed RRP and earn:
- Margin on every pass sold
- Commission on every top-up
Customers buy the pass once. Then they return again and again to top up.
Recurring foot traffic. Recurring revenue.
Top-Ups Only
Do not stock passes. Simply process RUC top-ups for customers who already have one.
- Commission on every top-up
No inventory. No shelf space. Just commission.
What staff actually do
Let's be clear. Four steps, every time.
Scan the pass
Ask top-up amount
Enter the amount
Take payment
Liability-free
Zero vehicle data entry.
All vehicle linking is completed by the customer before they arrive, keeping transactions fast and removing liability from store teams.
Why this matters
Risk
Retail staff safety is a growing concern
Friction
Customer disputes slow queues
Errors
Manual data entry creates mistakes
The Fix
RUC Pass removes that risk.
It behaves like any other prepaid product in your system.
Scan. Amount. Pay. Done.
Recurring, not one-off
RUC is not a one-time purchase. Drivers top up regularly, meaning repeat visits and consistent transaction volume.
Stream 01
Commission per top-up
Earned on every transaction.
Stream 02
Margin per pass sale
If you stock physical passes.
No subscriptions. No operational overhead.
Integration is straightforward
Standard prepaid integration patterns. No custom hardware.
