WEX WEX has renewed its agreement with Kum & Go to operate and market the company's commercial fuel card program.

Under terms of the contract, Kum & Go and WEX will continue to collaborate to increase sales and marketing resources that further drive Kum & Go's retail business growth.

WEX manages private label and universal fleet cards for Kum & Go, a family-owned convenience store company based in Des Moines, Iowa, with more than 400 sites and more than 5,000 associates across 11 states.

"Our partnership with WEX brings together a compelling mix of strengths from both organizations," Kum & Go Retail Fuel Senior Manager Sam Herro said. "At Kum & Go, we are on a mission to make days better for our guests by providing more convenience, service, and surprises. Combined with WEX's superior customer service, program flexibility and payment innovation, the partnership helps our organization continue to provide a unique offering that is true to our brand."
