Operations
Starting as a fleet card provider in 1983 as Wright Express, WEX Inc. expanded to facilitate corporate payments across the fleet, travel and healthcare industries.[2]
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.[3] WEX Fleet also partners with GasBuddy,[4] OnDeck,[5] and Chevron [6], among other companies, to provide services to customers. In 2017, WEX Fleet launched a new telematics platform, ClearView Advanced.[7]
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 [8] in support of customers including HitchHiker[9], HotelTonight, Expedia, and Priceline.
In 2014, WEX acquired Evolution1,[10] a cloud-based health industry payments provider, later renaming it to WEX Health. WEX Health Cloud helps to administer HSAs, HRAs, FSAs, VEBAs, COBRA, defined-contribution, wellness plans, and transit plans.[11] Some partners include Fifth Third Bancorp,[12] Paychex,[13] HSA Bank, and Discovery Benefits.
