The company is headquartered in Portland, Maine and provides services in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.[2][3]

History

Previous logo

The company traces its origins to A.R. Wright, a coal and later heating oil business in South Portland, Maine. In the 1980s, A.R. Wright began allowing trucks to fuel up without having to pay an attendant by using a post-paid fuel card, leading to the creation of Wright Express Corporation in 1983.[4]

SafeCard purchased Wright Express Corp. in 1994.[5] On February 20, 1996, CUC International acquired SafeCard (now renamed to Ideon) for $375 million.[6] Following CUC's merger with HFS, Wright Express became part of Cendant.

Wright Express went public in 2005.[7] In 2012, it adopted the name WEX, signaling a shift away from focusing on fuel cards and expanding into other payment solutions.[8]

In 2019, WEX opened a new 100,000-square-foot headquarters across from the Ocean Gateway International Marine Passenger Terminal in Portland, Maine. The company continues to have a significant presence in South Portland.[9] WEX is one of 10 founding corporate partners of the Roux Institute at Northeastern University, which leases a portion of the WEX headquarters for its campus.[10]

Operations

WEX Fleet provides vehicle fleet customers with fuel cards and data and telematics offerings for drivers. In 2012, WEX Fleet acquired Fleet One to provide fleet cards to drivers.[11] WEX Fleet also partners with GasBuddy,[12] OnDeck Capital,[13] and Chevron,[14] among other companies, to provide services to customers. In 2017, WEX Fleet launched a new telematics platform, ClearView Advanced.[15]

The travel segment, WEX Virtual, helps online travel agencies facilitate cross-border payments through virtual cards, allowing online travel agencies to automate back-end accounting practices. WEX Virtual launched in 2000[16] in support of customers including HitchHiker,[17] HotelTonight, Expedia, and Priceline.

In 2014, WEX acquired Evolution1, a cloud-based health industry payments provider, later renaming it to WEX Health.[18] WEX Health Cloud helps to administer defined-contribution, wellness, and transit plans, among others.[19] Its partners include Fifth Third Bancorp, Paychex, HSA Bank, and Discovery Benefits.[20][21]

In January 2020, the company announced it would acquire travel payments companies eNett and Optal from Travelport for $577.5 million.[22]

Melissa D. Smith became CEO of Wex in 2014, with annual revenue nearly tripling during her tenure, as of November 2023.[23][24] She is known for implementing an aggressive acquisition strategy and investing in early-stage companies.[25] As of 2024, Smith is the highest-paid executive of any public company in Maine.[26]

WEX provides services in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, and Australia.[27] It also operates the wholly owned banking subsidiary WEX Bank.[28]
