Wex rolls out cardless fuel payments at major truck stops

Fuel payments provider Wex has launched cardless fuel payments for its over-the-road customers, letting drivers generate a secure, single-use fuel code in the Wex CardControl app instead of swiping a physical fuel card at the pump.

Each code is single-use, location-specific, and expires after a short window, which Wex says virtually eliminates the exposure from lost, stolen, shared, or skimmed cards. Drivers do not need an app or data connection at the pump itself, and physical cards and cardless codes can be used interchangeably with shared limits.

The capability is live now at Pilot, One9, Love's, TA, Petro Stopping Centers, TA Express, and Maverik, with more networks rolling out through 2026. It runs through a fleet's existing Wex card program, so controls and reporting carry over, and it is available to Wex OTR customers at no additional cost.

Wex says pump fraud costs fleets more than money: replacing compromised cards means driver downtime and hours chasing unauthorized charges. The cardless option is designed to close that gap without changing how fleets manage spend.

Why it matters

Skimmers at truck stop pumps are a real threat to drivers and fleets. If your fleet runs Wex, ask your account manager to enable cardless codes before your card number ends up for sale.
