Global commerce platform WEX, based in Portland, Maine, U.S.A., announced plans to acquire the ExxonMobil Business Card program. The acquisition will be contingent upon certain conditions and subject to closing. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Upon completion of the acquisition, all of ExxonMobil’s commercial card portfolio will be consolidated and administered by WEX.

“The ExxonMobil Team at WEX is very excited by the prospect of welcoming these customers to our North American portfolio of business, completing the consolidation of all ExxonMobil’s commercial card business at WEX,” said Gene Currier, vice president and business manager at WEX. “Customers will enjoy the same benefits, purchasing controls, and savings opportunities as all other ExxonMobil BusinessPro customers across the U.S. and Canada.”

The Exxon Mobil BusinessPro program provides convenience, security, and control for small businesses. The program supports a private label, revolving credit card offering which can be used at over 12,000 Exxon™ and Mobil™ locations within the United States, plus cross-border acceptance in Canada. Its simplistic interface is designed for small business customers who typically fuel at the same stations near their home base.

Cardholders can save with fuel rebates of up to 6 cents per gallon on all Synergy™ fuel grades. In addition to savings with the rebate, cardholders enrolled in the ExxonMobil Rewards+™ program continue to earn points on fuel purchases, such as 4 bonus points per gallon on fuel when qualified as a Frequent Filler™ member.

“The consolidation of the ExxonMobil Business Card into our ExxonMobil BusinessPro program with WEX will provide a simplfied commercial card offer for prospective customers,” said Austin Johansen, fleet marketing manager at ExxonMobil. “WEX has been a valued partner for ExxonMobil, delivering excellent service and offerings to fleets and small businesses.”

@1aul+1i2r9hjc, it's a good guess. That's what happened anyway in countries where this service has already been outsourced to Wex. Problem is that EM employees come in with way too high salaries in comparison to the average in this type of service industry and if local legislation doesn't allow them to reduce the labour cost, Wex will over time find a way or another to get rid of most of the former EM employees they had to take over.
Same thing happened (among other examples) when GREF was outsourced to CBRE.

Nothing new on this side of the Atlantic. Wex has already taken over the Esso (EM trade mark in Europe) card business in several countries something like 7 or 8 years ago.

We can only assume that the XOM employee headcount associated with BusinessCard program will transfer to WEX headcount.
