Corpay, Inc. (NYSE: CPAY) is a U.S.-based payments company that provides expense management solutions to both businesses and consumers. It operates through four segments: Corporate Payments, Vehicle Payments, Lodging Payments, and Other, serving a customer base that includes businesses, merchants, consumers, and payment networks.
Its Vehicle Payments segment covers fuel cards, tolls, parking, fleet maintenance, and long-haul transportation services, while the Corporate Payments segment offers virtual cards, cross-border payments, accounts payable automation, and travel & entertainment (T&E) cards. The Lodging Payments segment focuses on workforce lodging for traveling employees, airline and cruise crews, and stranded passengers. Corpay also issues gift and payroll cards.
Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company was formerly known as FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. and rebranded to Corpay in 2022.
