  • Publication number: 20250061440
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for in-vehicle payments. In one example, a system for providing in-vehicle payments includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes instructions that cause the processor, in response to determining when a vehicle enters a specialized region within a geo-fenced location and a vehicle operating change state signal, to transmit an instruction to provide a location confirmation interface for utilization by an occupant of the vehicle. Additionally, the instructions also cause the processor, in response to a location confirmation signal indicating that the occupant has confirmed the location of the vehicle using the location confirmation interface, to transmit another instruction to provide a payment confirmation interface for utilization by the occupant. The instructions may also be able to configure the processor to process payments.
