FTC proposes $100 million Corpay settlement for small business fuel card customers
Corpay, formerly FleetCor Technologies, and CEO Ronald Clarke agreed to pay $100 million for customer redress under a proposed Federal Trade Commission consent order.
The case centers on fuel cards sold mostly to small businesses. The FTC alleged that FleetCor charged unauthorized or undisclosed fees, including some late fees when customers had paid on time or were prevented from doing so, and misrepresented gas savings, fraud controls and fees.
A federal district court entered judgment for the FTC on all counts in 2023. An appeals court upheld the judgment and permanent injunction against the company in 2026, while affirming all but one count against Clarke and vacating his injunction.
The money is not ready for distribution. The agreement faces 30 days of public comment after Federal Register publication, and the Commission must then decide whether to make the proposed order final.
