ATLANTA -- WEX Inc., a leading provider of corporate payment solutions, has announced that it will be the provider of the new private-label and universal fleet card for Atlanta-based RaceTrac Petroleum Inc.
WEX has signed a multi-year agreement with RaceTrac to offer a private label and co-branded universal fleet card program. The new program will include a proprietary fleet card accepted at all RaceTrac and RaceWay locations, as well as a co-branded universal card, which will be accepted at more than 90% of fuel and service locations throughout the United States.
"We are very excited to partner with RaceTrac because of its strong brand presence in the southern United States and because it continues to provide value to its guests," said Ken Janosick, senior vice president of fleet payment solutions at South Portland, Maine-based WEX.

The opportunity to offer both private label and universal card programs adds another level of convenience for commercial customers."
WEX will work closely with RaceTrac over the next few months to create comprehensive sales and marketing programs.
