Q. Is fraud control improving with the newest generation of fleet cards?
A. Fraud control is a partnership between industry and suppliers like WEX who want to make it easier to control all costs, including unauthorized ones...
A. Drivers are often at the backbone of your daily operations, so it’s important to keep them satisfied and loyal to your business, especially given recruitment challenges that appear to be getting tougher. So, companies need every advantage to help drivers overcome challenges and eliminate some of the obstacles out on the road.
One way they can do that, at least in the OTR space, is through innovative, driver-centric payment platforms like EFS Checks and MoneyCodes and EFS SmartFunds. EFS SmartFunds combines the important functions of fuel, cash, and non-fuel purchase management with employee payroll and contractor settlement, creating a single payments solution with robust financial controls.
EFS Checks and MoneyCodes® provide immediate payment or access to cash when your EFS Card isn’t an option. It’s a convenient, simple-to-use solution for emergency needs or simple payments: think roadside services, repairs, lumper fees, purchases made at one of the few out-of-network fuel centers. Because an EFS Check works much like a personal or company check, it has nearly universal acceptance, so it’s a cost-effective way to instantly issue payment or cash – 24 hours a day.
