WEX to issue Shell's commercial fleet cards in U.S. and Canada

KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 (Bernama) -- WEX Inc has reached an agreement with Equilon Enterprises LLC dba Shell Oil Products US and Shell Canada Products (Shell) to issue and operate Shell's full portfolio of commercial fleet cards in the United States and Canada.

"The agreement with Shell underscores our commitment to growth in the North American fleet market and offers fleet customers another robust fleet card program option with one of the most recognised brands in the industry," said WEX's president and chief executive officer, Melissa Smith.

Shell and WEX will anticipate launching their first commercial fleet product August 1, 2018. WEX will provide Shell's commercial fleet customers with the full range of features, functionality and solutions needed to meet the everyday demands of a modern fleet, a statement said.

This relationship builds on the latest enhancements and improvements Shell made earlier this year by upgrading to WEX Spec and WEX's network specification which allows fleet managers better control and visibility when managing their fueling transactions.

"This new relationship with WEX highlights our commitment to provide customers with personalised support and innovative features to solve their unique fleet management challenges," said vice-president and general manager of Shell Fleet Solutions, North America, Rusty Barron.

Shell Fleet Solutions' full portfolio of commercial cards includes the Shell Fleet Navigator Card, the Shell Fleet Plus Card and the Shell Small Business Card. More information about Shell Fleet Solutions at www.shell.ca/fleetsolutions.
