Our review
United Card lets businesses charge fuel to one monthly account at United Petroleum and Astron service stations across Australia. Invoices are GST‑compliant, and an online portal gives you basic tools to view transactions and manage cards.
Who is United Card best for?
United Card works best for businesses that already refuel at United regularly.
- SMEs and sole traders buying at least 1,000L per month, mainly from United sites.
- Fleets that prioritise low fees and solid discounts at a single brand over network breadth or complex extras.
- Businesses happy with fuel + limited shop purchases but not needing tyres, servicing or tolls on the same card.
Where can you use United Card?
United Card is limited to United’s own network and selected partners.
- Around 450–500 United Petroleum sites nationally, plus Astron service stations in some regions.
- Locations concentrated in VIC and TAS, with additional coverage in NSW, QLD, SA, WA and NT.
You can use United’s service station locator or the United app to find nearest participating sites.
Savings and discounts
United Card combines intro discounts with tiered ongoing savings.
- Intro offers often give higher cents‑per‑litre savings for the first few months after approval.
- Ongoing discounts typically scale with monthly volume, with bigger fleets earning higher per‑litre savings, up to a capped maximum.
Fees and charges
United emphasises low, predictable fees.
- Flat monthly fee per card (with different pricing depending on how many cards you hold).
- No transaction fees at United sites; some high‑volume customers may be able to swap card fees for a per‑transaction fee instead.
- Other possible fees: replacement card fees, late‑payment charges and surcharges if you pay via credit card instead of direct debit.
Security and controls
United Card includes basic but useful controls.
- Card‑specific rules: choose fuel‑only or fuel + shop and set different restriction levels per card.
- Online account tools: view transactions, check limits and request changes via the portal or support team.
PIN and fraud‑prevention features are managed by United’s issuing platform, in line with standard fuel card security.
How to apply for United Card
Applications are completed online through United’s application form.
- You’ll need an ABN, basic business details, estimated monthly litres and how many cards you need.
- United may ask for a minimum expected monthly volume (often around 1,000L) to unlock ongoing discounts.

FAQs
Is United Card only for businesses?
Yes, United Card is for ABN‑holding businesses and cannot be opened as a personal consumer card.
What’s the minimum fuel spend for United Card discounts?
United typically expects around 1,000L per month before ongoing discounts apply; below that, you may not receive volume‑based savings.
Can I use United Card outside the United network?
No, United Card is limited to United Petroleum and Astron sites listed as accepting United fuel cards, not other major fuel brands.
Can I restrict cards to fuel only?
Yes, you can set card‑level rules so some cards are fuel‑only while others allow limited shop purchases, depending on your policy.
Does United Card cover servicing, tyres or tolls?
No, United Card is mainly for fuel (and optional small in‑store items). It does not bundle broad servicing, tyre or toll add‑ons like some larger fleet cards.
Is there a mobile app for United Card?
United offers an app and online tools to help locate stations and manage account features, but detailed card management still relies on the portal and customer service.
What happens if a United Card is lost or stolen?
You should immediately contact United or use the online tools to block the card; a replacement card can then be issued under your account.
