How WEX Partners with Fuel Stations
WEX contracts with major fuel retailers, independent stations, and convenience stores. The network is built on a mix of exclusive agreements and open‑access partnerships, ensuring that most stations that accept a credit card will also accept a WEX card. The result is a coverage that spans urban, suburban, and rural areas.
Finding WEX-Approved Fuel Stations
There are three reliable ways to locate a station that accepts your WEX card:
- WEX Fuel Card Locator Tool – On the WEX website, enter your zip code or city to generate a list of nearby stations. The tool shows station name, address, phone number, and whether the card is accepted.
- Mobile App – The WEX Fleet app has an integrated station search feature that displays real‑time availability and navigation directions.
- Call Customer Support – WEX's toll‑free number can confirm acceptance at any station and answer specific questions about transaction limits or fees.
