Retail Partners
Become a RUC Pass Retail Partner
Add a new recurring revenue stream. No data entry. No hassle.
From 2027, millions of vehicles in New Zealand will require regular Road User Charges top-ups.
Drivers will need somewhere to pay.
RUC Pass lets your store capture that spend with a transaction that takes seconds.
Staff do not enter vehicle details.
Staff do not manage accounts.
Staff do not fix mistakes.
They scan. They take payment. That's it.
Partnership Models
Two Ways to Partner
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 on transactions.
At the Counter
What Staff Actually Do
Let's be clear.
Scan the pass
Ask the customer how much they want to top up
Enter the amount
Take payment
The POS sends the transaction instantly.
The EFTPOS terminal shows the amount.
Approval returns in real time.
There is zero vehicle data entry.
Staff do not type plates.
Staff do not confirm vehicle models.
Staff do not touch customer accounts.
Staff do not correct errors.
All vehicle linking is completed by the customer before they arrive.
This keeps the transaction fast and removes liability from store teams.
Staff Safety
Why This Matters
Retail staff safety is a growing concern.
Customer disputes slow queues.
Manual data entry creates mistakes.
RUC Pass removes that risk.
It behaves like any other prepaid product in your system.
Scan. Amount. Pay. Done.
Revenue
Revenue Opportunity
RUC is not a one-time purchase.
Drivers top up regularly.
That means repeat visits and consistent transaction volume.

No subscriptions. No operational overhead.
