WEX Merchant Partners Offer Fuel Discounts to Truckers

PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WEX (NYSE: WEX), a leading financial technology service provider, recently notified trucking customers that they now have access to its fuel discount network, through which participating WEX merchants offer savings on truck fuel purchases. This fuel discount network, part of WEX’s new WEX EDGE business savings network, helps reduce the cost of continuing to make deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We know how challenging these times are for many businesses,” said Tim Hampton, senior vice president and general manager of WEX’s over-the-road business. “We’re thrilled our merchant partners came together to offer this discount network to our trucking customers who are providing such a critical service by continuing to deliver goods and services to all of us right now.” The fuel discount network provides customers with access to fuel discounts at thousands of participating locations across the US.

In May, WEX announced the launch of its new business savings network, WEX EDGE, which gives small businesses access to highly-curated offers that are typically only available to large companies. WEX EDGE provides a convenient way for businesses to purchase the products and services needed to run their business at discounted prices—and use their existing WEX fuel account to pay for these services.
