2000–2005

In 2000, Ron Clarke joined the company as CEO when the company's estimated annual revenues were $25 million. [4]

In 2002, Boston-based venture capitalist Summit Partners invested $45 million in FleetCor to expand and “[recruit] major regional and national convenience stores into the fleet program.” [5]

In 2003, Fleetcor merged with Commercial Fueling Network (CFN). [6] The following year, FleetCor acquired Mannatec Inc. [7] In March. In 2004, the company partnered with Citgo “to process Citgo Petroleum Corp.’s commercial fleet card, the CITGOFleet card.” [8] In 2005, Fleetcor began a relationship with BP, a contract that has since been extended several times. [9]

2006–2009

Bain Capital invested $75 million in Fleetcor in 2006, thus giving the company the capital to expand its presence across Europe. [10] Fleetcor acquired United Kingdom company KeyFuels in 2006, processing over 500,000 business fleets. [11] Other European acquisitions from 2006 to 2009 included Abbey Fuelcards, [12] CSS, [13] ICP Smart Concepts, [14] Petrol Plus Region (the largest independent fuel card company in Russia), and The Fuelcard Company (a United Kingdom commercial fuel card reseller). [15]

Along with its European expansion, Fleetcor continued to grow its US presence. In 2007, Fleetcor won a long-term card processing contract by Chevron USA [16] but lost the contract to WEX in 2016. [17] With the addition of an investment of $46 million in equity from Advent in 2006 for European expansion, [18] Fleetcor launched British Petroleum (BP) Mastercard, a North American major oil co-branded fleet card, and introduced FleetCardsUsa.com, a fleet card web portal. [19]

Fleetcor continued its global expansion in 2012 by acquiring a leading fuel card systems company in Russia [28] and CTF, a fuel payment processing services provider in Brazil, for $180 million. [29]

2013–2017

In 2013, Fleetcor acquired the following: Australia’s FleetCard, [30] New Zealand’s Cardlink, [31] VB Serviços (a provider of transportation cards and vouchers in Brazil), [32] DB Trans (also in Brazil), [33] Epyx (a SaaS system and a network of vehicle repair garages serving fleet operators in the UK), [34] and NexTraq, a US-based provider of telematics solutions. [35] Fleetcor also signed three deals in 2013, with GE Custom Fleet in Australia, [36] Good Card, a leading Brazilian fuel card network operator, and Husky Oil Limited. [37]

In 2014, the company established minority investment in Masternaut, a European-based provider of telematics solutions, [38] signed definitive documents to acquire Shell's SME portfolio in select European markets, [39] and acquired Pacific Pride (a cardlock fueling network operating in the US and Canada) [40] and Comdata (a business-to-business provider of innovative electronic payment solutions) for $3.45 billion. [41] BP awarded Fleetcor a long-term contract in 2015. [42]

Fleetcor acquired Travelcard (universal fuel card issuer in the Netherlands) [43] and Sem Parar (electronic toll payments company in Brazil) in 2016, [44] and Fleetcor signed an agreement to manage the commercial fuel card program for Speedway LLC (Speedway) the same year. [45]

Fleetcor joined the Fortune 1000 in 2017, [46] and expanded to Italy with minority investment in Qui! Group, an Italian-based provider of food voucher and card solutions. [47] Cambridge Global Payments, a B2B international payments provider, [48] and Creative Lodging Solutions, a leading lodging provider to businesses, were added to Fleetcor's acquisitions as well. [49]

2018–present

Named by Forbes as a Global 2000 Growth Champion [50] and one of the World's Most Innovative Companies, [51] Fleetcor joined the S&P 500 in 2018. [52] Fleetcor made a minority investment in P97 Networks, Inc., a cloud-based mobile commerce solutions company, the same year. [53]

In 2019, Fleetcor led three major acquisitions: Nvoicepay (an Account Payables automation for businesses company), Sole Financial (a payroll card provider), and Travelliance (airline lodging programs). [54] In November 2019, Fleetcor officially opened a new corporate office in the Terminus 100 office. [55] In August 2022, Fleetcor acquired Accrualify, an accounts payable software firm. [56] In August 2023, Fleetcor sold its business in Russia and exited the market. [57] In March 2024, the company changed its name to Corpay.

In May 2024, Corpay acquired Paymerang, a Richmond, Virginia headquartered accounts payable automation company for $475 million. [58]
