The story

ryd (formerly Tanktaler) began as a German in-car digital payments app for fueling and has broadened into a mobility payments operating system covering fuel, EV charging, car wash, and corporate fleets. The 2021 BP Ventures round reframed the company from a consumer app into B2B/B2B2C mobility infrastructure, and ryd fleet now markets itself as a 'payment operating system for fleets' with automated reconciliation and fraud reduction.
