FleetCor, now called Corpay, and its CEO agreed to pay $100 million to resolve an FTC administrative action over fuel-card fees and claimed savings, the agency announced September 17. The proposed payment would be used for redress to business customers harmed by the conduct. It is not a current application for a guaranteed payment to every small business that used a fuel card.
The FTC alleged undisclosed or unauthorized charges, late fees even when customers paid on time or could not pay on time, and misleading claims about gas savings and fraud controls. A federal district court in 2023 entered summary judgment for the FTC on its claims, the agency says, while the new administrative consent agreement still has a separate process before it is final.
The FTC expects a Federal Register notice followed by 30 days of public comment before it decides whether to make the proposed consent order final. The September 17 release does not state individual refund amounts, a claim form or payment date. A business owner can preserve statements, fee records and contracts while checking official FTC updates.
