Shell has announced it has signed a card acceptance agreement with Valero Energy Ltd – who market fuel in the UK under the Texaco brand – to offer euroShell card customers the opportunity to fill up at UK Texaco-branded sites in 2012.

The agreement means that the euroShell card will now be accepted at Shell, Texaco, Total and Esso sites in the UK. This follows on from Shell becoming one of the first card issuers to co-operate with M6toll – offering toll charge payments on euroShell Card.

Philip Williams, UK sales manager, Shell Commercial Fleet, said: “At Shell, we are committed to expanding our customer offer. This new collaboration with the Texaco network of service stations enables us to further improve our offer to euroShell customers and give them even more choice and availability when travelling throughout the UK.”

Karen Goane, manager fuel card sales, Valero, said: "We are always looking to improve the support we give to our retailers and customers. This agreement with Shell helps achieve this by increasing customer choice while introducing new customers to Texaco service stations."
