The company began in 1983 as Wright Express, issuing fuel cards to trucking fleets so operators could control and track fuel purchases. Three lines run today: mobility fleet cards, corporate payments including virtual card issuance for travel booking, and benefits administration for health savings and flexible spending accounts. Revenue is partly tied to fuel prices, since fleet interchange scales with the dollar value of purchases, which makes energy markets an unusual input for a payments company. Headquarters are in Portland, Maine.

Equity comp at WEX
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the WEX position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current WEX option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

WEX equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge WEX stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and WEX's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current WEX option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does WEX grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at WEX typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do WEX RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. WEX restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
