Rome, 25 September 2025 – Q8 Italy today announced it entered into a strategic partnership with WEX Europe Services to offer fleet customers a WEX CartissimaQ8 co-branded card in Italy. The agreement strengthens Q8’s presence in the Italian market by opening a new sales channel in collaboration with WEX™, the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business, with the goal of providing even more effective support to B2B customers across Italy. The partnership will also expand the reach of CartissimaQ8, recognized as one of the top solutions in the Italian fuel card market.
This partnership agreement highlights the collaboration between the two groups and their shared commitment for continued growth in the Italian market. WEX customers will gain access to an extensive network of over 3,400 service stations, including Q8, Q8easy and affiliated partners, while also benefiting from next-generation fuels such as Q8 HVO and Q8 Hi Perform, designed to combine performance with sustainable mobility.
The offering is further enriched by integrated services that make the customer experience even smoother: from paying at 24/7 Easy Wash Q8 car washes, to linking the card with the ClubQ8 loyalty program, allowing users to collect Star Points on fuel purchases, in-store shopping at SVOLTA stores and partner websites. Collected points can then be redeemed for rewards, or converted into gift cards and/or Q8 Fuel Vouchers.
“This partnership represents a strategic step that further strengthens Q8’s position in the fuel card market and confirms the value of CartissimaQ8 as a comprehensive solution for corporate fleets,” said Vincenzo Maniaci, Director of Cards & Digital Payments at Q8 Italy. “The collaboration with WEX enables us to reach a new and diversified customer base, providing them with simple, secure, and innovative access to our services, in line with our vision of the future of mobility.”
“The strategic agreement with Q8 marks an important milestone for WEX Europe Services as we strengthen our fuel network in Italy," said Kate Reichenbach, Managing Director, EU Mobility at WEX. "By combining CartissimaQ8’s extensive network of high-quality stations and trusted services with our best-in-class sales, marketing, and operational engine, we are giving customers greater payment flexibility and an enhanced digital experience. This partnership expands our market presence, delivers tangible value to fleets today, and reflects our shared commitment to innovation and a seamless digital future for fleets.”
