WEX

WEX, formerly known as Wright Express, is a financial technology company that provides fleet fuel cards, corporate payment solutions, and related expense management services to businesses. Its fleet cards are widely used by companies to manage fuel and vehicle-related expenses, with detailed reporting, controls, and consolidated billing across vehicles and drivers. The “Wright Express Fleet” wording on your statement refers to WEX’s fleet card products and legacy branding.

A charge labeled something like “WD WRIGHT EXPRESS PREAUTHORIZED” or “WRIGHT EXPRESS FLEET” usually indicates activity tied to a WEX fleet card or related corporate payment account. This might be a fuel purchase at a participating gas station, vehicle maintenance transaction, or a preauthorization/hold placed when a card is swiped at the pump. Some transactions may appear as preauthorized amounts first (often rounded or higher than the final fuel total) before settling to the exact purchase amount.

If you have questions about this charge, first check with your employer or fleet administrator, as WEX fleet cards are typically issued to businesses rather than individuals directly. Review recent fuel or vehicle-related receipts and match the date, location, and amount. For unresolved questions, log into your WEX online account (if you are an account administrator) or contact WEX customer support using the phone number on the back of the card or on their website. They can look up the transaction, explain preauthorization amounts versus final charges, and help address any suspected fraudulent or incorrect billing.
