MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2014--
WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX) today announced the signing of a new company-wide
deal with Australia’s leading transport fuel supplier and convenience
retailer, Caltex Australia, to accept the Wright Express fuel card.
Wright Express Australia, a subsidiary of WEX Inc., has finalised a deal
with Caltex Australia to build on the Wright Express Motorpass and
Motorcharge fuel cards’ reputation as the most widely accepted fuel card
in Australia. While the cards were already accepted at a number of
Caltex sites, this new deal will mean acceptance will broaden to all
Caltex’s company-operated and many of Caltex’s franchise and reseller
locations.

retailer with an established footprint throughout the country.
“I am delighted to be able to build on the leading fuel card acceptance
we offer in the Australian market with Caltex,” said David Maxsimic, WEX

country which makes Caltex’s national footprint an important component
of our go-to-market offering in the country.”
“We are very pleased to welcome Motorpass and Motorcharge card holders
to our sites,” said Michael Ridley-Smith, Caltex’s national manager,
marketing services. “We are confident these cardholders will enjoy the
