WEX and bp have joined forces to enhance the earnify™ fleet fuel card program. This venture is expected to create and reinforce a comprehensive payment solution for businesses managing vehicle fleets across the United States.
The collaboration combines WEX's payment processing technology with bp's extensive network of over 8,000 fuel stations, including Amoco, TravelCenters of America, and Petro locations. The venture also maintains Mastercard® acceptance for broader purchasing flexibility. The fleet fuel card program offers fleet operators real-time spending controls, detailed reporting tools, and fraud protection through EMV chip technology, along with the unique earnify™ rewards system that incentivizes drivers through personal loyalty points when refueling at participating stations. Beyond fuel purchases, the card accommodates various vehicle-related expenses, including maintenance, tolls, and roadside assistance. These features effectively consolidate multiple payment needs into a single streamlined solution with integrated financial tracking capabilities.
