STAMFORD, Conn. & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Capital Retail Bank today announced a definitive, multi-year agreement with Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX), an energy manufacturing and logistics company, to provide private label credit card programs for consumer and commercial customers nationwide.

The Phillips 66, Conoco and 76 business revolving charge program is nationally accepted and provides advanced account management, enabling commercial cardholders to track fuel expenses, auto repairs, vehicle washes, and convenience store purchases.
“We’re pleased to work with GE Capital’s strong and experienced team to bring our customers the convenience of a dedicated credit card to use for all of their purchases at our branded locations,” said Andy Viens, president of Global Marketing at Phillips 66.
GE Capital’s Retail Finance business works with oil and gas retailers to provide financial solutions to their end customers that help build business. As part of the agreement, GE Capital Retail Bank will acquire the existing card program assets from Citibank. Financial terms were not disclosed.
