# FTC Settles with FleetCor for Unauthorized Fees

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has reached a $100 million settlement with FleetCor Technologies Inc., now operating as Corpay Inc., following a federal court finding that the company charged unauthorized fees and misled customers regarding fuel card savings. The settlement includes a permanent injunction prohibiting deceptive billing practices and mandates redress for affected small business customers. This enforcement action highlights increased regulatory scrutiny on billing transparency and compliance for companies providing payment and fuel card services to government and commercial clients.

- Procurement professionals should be aware that vendors in payment processing and fuel card services are subject to stringent FTC oversight and enforcement related to billing practices.
- Contracting officers may need to incorporate stricter compliance and transparency requirements in solicitations and contracts to mitigate risks of unauthorized fees.
- Businesses providing fuel card or payment services to government entities should review their billing and disclosure practices to ensure alignment with FTC regulations and avoid potential enforcement actions.
- This case underscores the importance of due diligence in vendor selection and ongoing contract management to protect government interests and small business customers from deceptive practices.
