FleetCor Technologies, a provider of fuel cards and workforce payment services, has signed an agreement to purchase electronic payment services provider Comdata for $3.45 billion.
According to FleetCor, the acquisition of the Tennessee-based Comdata is expected to provide a number of benefits such as expanding FleetCor’s North American fuel card business into new, unserved markets; enabling entry into the virtual payments business; and dramatically increasing FleetCor’s overall scale and earnings base.

We believe that the combination will result in significant synergies as we implement our operating disciplines to their portfolio of businesses.”
