Eni and Poste Italiane: Digital and financial services partnership to integrate tech and payment platforms

This partnership between the two large Italian companies represents an important tool to integrate and enhance Eni and Poste Italiane’s assets.

Rome, 22 July 2019 – Eni and Poste Italiane have signed a memorandum of understanding to launch a broad digital partnership. The non-binding cooperation agreement also covers financial services, and has been signed by Eni, Eni Refining & Marketing, Eni Gas e Luce, Poste Italiane and PostePay.

This partnership between the two large Italian companies represents an important tool to integrate and enhance Eni and Poste Italiane’s assets. It forms part of a multi-business strategy involving both fuel supply at Eni’s service stations, and gas and electric energy, by launching innovative financial services drawing on opportunities afforded by the EU’s Payment Services Directive 2. Its main objective is to offer retail customers a growing range of new services and payment solutions.

The agreement sets out a series of actions intended to combine over 26 milion of Poste Italiane group’s debit and prepaid cards used in Italy with Eni’s 4,300 service stations. On an average day, one million people pass through these service stations, not to mention a further eight million Eni Gas e Luce customers, who generate 41 million in bills per year and can take advantage of 150 Energy Stores.

Specifically, Poste Italiane and Eni will perform a study into initiatives with the goal of identifying solutions that guarantee maximum security and simplicity when customers make physical and digital transactions. The study will investigate various financial services in accordance with the regulatory framework. Examples include payment using pre-printed forms and cashback when refuelling. Poste Italiane and Eni Gas e Luce may also trial new bill itemisation systems via blockchain technology. New refund functions for Eni Gas e Luce customers are already in place throughout the Poste Italiane network.

In relation to the individual opportunities that will be subject of evaluation, information on related party transactions will be provided if necessary.

How does EnergIA work?

EnergIA (ener'dʒia) is a system based on Generative Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to this technology, we can respond to your requests by querying the most relevant content and documents available on eni.com. (Note: financial documents from the last 12 months and press releases from the last 2 years are considered.) Through EnergIA, you can delve into topics of interest and have a real-time window into the world of Eni.
If you wish to search for a specific document, press release or news, use the traditional search engine via the magnifying glass icon.

Like all systems that leverage Generative Artificial Intelligence, EnergIA may generate inaccurate or outdated responses. Always consult the sources that EnergIA proposes as the origin of the generated information.
If the system fails to find an exact match for the requested content, it still tends to provide a response.
If you find any inaccuracies in the provided response, please send us your feedback at the bottom of the page: it will be very helpful for us to improve.

Remember that the content generated by the system does not represent Eni’s official position. We therefore invite stakeholders to refer to their designated contacts for official statements: Press Office for journalists, Investor Relations for analysts and investors, Company Secretariat for shareholders etc..

EnergIA can understand questions posed in almost all languages, but we prefer to provide you with a response in English or Italian, the two languages available on eni.com. If you ask a question in Italian, the content on the site in Italian will be consulted. If you ask it in English or any other language, the content in English will be consulted. (Note: the language Eni uses for financial documents/content is predominantly English.)

If questions are formulated that violate the set security criteria, the system will not proceed with processing the response. Please remember not to send personal data.
