This contract extension will allow WEX Australia to further strengthen its relationship with Caltex and help the latter in improving the process of running its fuel card business.

Caltex, which is the only ASX (Australian Securities Exchange, Ltd.) listed transport fuel supplier, has chosen WEX Australia for processing all of its fuel card payments for the next three years. With this contract renewal WEX Australia will continue to serve the fleet card customers of Caltex with payment processing services. It will also continue to render its services to Caltex retailers across more than 1,900 branded retail locations, thereby strengthening its presence in the region.
