Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of WEX Inc. and its subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they exclude certain disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “WEX,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” refer to WEX Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”).
We have applied the same accounting policies in preparing these quarterly financial statements as we did in preparing our 2023 annual financial statements. The Company rounds amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to millions and calculates all percentages and per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding. We have included certain terms and abbreviations used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within “Acronyms and Abbreviations” in the front of this document.
Change in Reporting Presentation
Change in Reporting Presentation
Previously, realized gains and losses from periodic settlements on our interest rate swap contracts were included within financing interest expense, while the quarterly unrealized gains and losses from the noncash mark-to-market of our swaps were separately presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company made a voluntary change in accounting presentation to reflect the unrealized gains and losses from changes in the value of our swaps within financing interest expense, net of financial instruments. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Certain prior year amounts within cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been aggregated to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates all ASUs recently issued by the FASB for consideration of their applicability. Any recently issued ASUs not listed in the following table were assessed and determined to either not be applicable, or have not had, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not adopt any accounting standards during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
StandardDescriptionDate/Method of AdoptionEffect on financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
The amendments in this ASU require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, this ASU expands certain annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to interim periods.
The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Revenues
In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied as defined by the terms of the contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services provided.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested DSUs outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that diluted earnings per share includes the impact of convertible securities under the “if-converted” method if the effect of such securities would be dilutive and includes the assumed exercise of dilutive
options, the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs, performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Money Market Mutual Funds
A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market mutual funds that primarily consist of short-term government securities, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market.
U.S. Treasury Bills
From time to time, a portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. treasury bills with maturities of 30 days or less, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments in a market that is not active.
Debt Securities
The Company determines the fair value of U.S. treasury notes using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments in a market that is not active. For corporate debt securities, municipal bonds, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally valued using Level 2 inputs to the fair value hierarchy.
Pooled Investment Fund
The pooled investment fund maintains individual capital accounts for each investor, which reflect each individual investor’s share of the NAV of the fund. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no unfunded commitments with respect to the fund. Investments in the fund may be redeemed monthly with 30 days’ notice.
Mutual Fund
The Company determines the fair value of its mutual fund using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market; such inputs are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan Trust
The investments held in the executive deferred compensation plan trust, which consist primarily of mutual funds, are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets.
The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those presented above, including cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash payable, short-term contractual deposits and HSA deposits, accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature or maturities. The carrying value of certain other financial instruments, including interest-bearing money market deposits, securitized debt, participation debt, borrowed federal funds and deferred consideration associated with our acquisitions approximate their respective fair values due to stated interest rates being consistent with current market interest rates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment securities and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited because a large number of geographically and industry diverse customers make up our customer base. See Note 5, Accounts Receivable, Net, for further information.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing. Cash balances at many of these institutions regularly exceed FDIC insured limits; however, management regularly monitors the financial institutions and the composition of the Company’s accounts. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the financial institutions at which the Company’s
cash is held are stable. We attempt to limit our exposure to credit risk with our investment securities by establishing strict investment policies as to minimum investment ratings, diversification of our portfolio and setting risk tolerance levels.

The Company determines its operating segments and reports segment information in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s CODM, allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company has both three operating segments and three reportable segments, as described below.
