(Alliance News) - BP PLC on Tuesday said it is investing EUR10 million in Europe's in-car digital payments provider ryd.

ryd offers a convenient single digital payment solution for drivers, for services such as fuel purchases, electric vehicle charging and car washing, via its app or through integration with smart car systems.

London-based oil & gas company BP said its investment will help ryd strengthen its position, grow into new international markets, and further build its offering.

Through its investment and a partnership with ryd, BP said it aims to expand digital payment options for its customers across Europe. BP already offers digital payment options in the UK and the Netherlands via its BPme app. ryd will enable BP's digital customer offer to expand into additional European markets.

"In-car digital payments are an integral part of the seamless and convenient experience that customers increasingly expect at our retail sites. ry's technology can help deliver just that, and for an increasing range of services," said Alex Jensen, BP's senior vice president mobility & convenience, Europe and Southern Africa.

BP shares closed marginally lower in London on Tuesday at 298.40 pence each.
