By: via Business Wire

WEX® (NYSE: WEX), the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business, announced a new partnership with energy leader bp to provide fleet drivers access to fuel savings through the earnify™fleet fuel card program in the U.S. Moving forward, earnify™fleet cards can be used for fuel and vehicle-related purchases at merchants that accept WEX and Mastercard® with on-going fuel rebates available at over 8,000 stations across the bp family of brands. Designed for small businesses and large fleets, this partnership will expand the program’s valuable fuel rebates to bp, Amoco, TravelCenters of America, TA Express, and Petro stations across the country.

“With the earnify™fleet card, we’re combining WEX’s leading payments technology with bp’s robust fueling network to give fleets a smarter, more efficient way to manage operations,” said Brian Fournier, Americas SVP & GM, Mobility at WEX. “From real-time controls to detailed data insights and fraud protection, this program demonstrates how WEX technology is driving the next generation of fleet payment innovation.”

Drivers can use their earnify™fleet card to pay for parts and service, tolls, car washes, parking, and roadside assistance. With all of these options available on one card, this simplified solution can also be utilized for integrated reporting and invoicing. Business owners and fleet operators can set purchase controls on employee spending based on product type, dollar amount, time of day, and more. The cards come with EMV chip technology, giving businesses extra protection from fraud.

earnify™fleet drivers can sign up for the earnify™ rewards program and earn personal loyalty points when they fuel for work at participating locations. This added benefit is designed to enhance earnify™fleet driver satisfaction and encourage in-network fueling, benefiting both drivers and fleet managers.

“We’re excited to expand our long-standing relationship with WEX as we launch the earnify™fleet card,” said Debi Boffa, CEO of TravelCenters of Americas and bp VP of Fleet Mobility. “By creating a new card program that brings together all of our fuel brands — bp, Amoco, TA, Petro, and TA Express — we’re making it easier than ever for fleet customers of all sizes to fuel, save, and stay loyal across our entire network.”

The combined power of WEX and Mastercard satisfies customer needs for more comprehensive coverage and greater purchasing power by offering expanded Mastercard acceptance for a range of vehicle-related expenses, all through one-card convenience.

“We’re delighted to collaborate with WEX and bp to launch this next-generation fleet card offer,” said Mark Aquilina, SVP, Corporate Solutions and B2B Transportation at Mastercard. “Mastercard's purchasing capabilities, security, and added convenience will help deliver even more value for commercial customers and we look forward to the impact this program will have on fleets across the country.”
