Eligibility & Setup
How do customers enroll in Flexible Funding?
Enrolment begins with an eligibility check. If approved, customers review and sign the Flexible Funding amendment to their existing agreement. Once the amendment is signed, WEX sets up the account in our systems. Customers then receive their account details and can immediately begin depositing collateral.
What is a Funding Group Code and why does it matter?
A Funding Group Code is a unique ID assigned to a customer Flexible Funding account. Customers should always include their Funding Group Code as the reference when making deposits. This ensures funds are applied to the account quickly and accurately.
Are there compliance requirements?
Yes. Flexible Funding follows all legal and regulatory requirements, including onboarding checks, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring, account suspension protocols for missed payments, and protections under regional banking rules.
Specific details regarding these requirements will be provided to customers during the enrollment process.
Credit & Funds Management
What is the minimum deposit required?
There is no minimum deposit and no cap on the number or amount of monthly deposits. This gives maximum flexibility to access funds when needed.
Limited credit Solution:
If you have limited access to credit, Flexible Funding helps you turn existing capital into a working credit line instantly, no minimum threshold required.
How quickly does the limit update after a deposit?
As soon as funds clear, the available limit updates automatically. If enabled, customers also receive an alert in EnCompass.
Seasonal Solution:
Perfect for busy periods so you can increase your limit on demand and stay agile without overextending.
How are payments made and tracked?
Payments are made via EFT (bank transfer) to an FBO (For Benefit Of) account, using the Funding Group Code as the payment reference. WEX’s platform automatically validates the transfer and, once approved, applies it to the account increasing the available balance.
What if a payment can’t be validated?
If validation fails, the payment goes to a review queue. WEX’s Business Payments team will review the payment and determine next steps.
Common causes of validation failure include an incorrect or missing Funding Group Code.
Can funds be withdrawn?
Yes. Customers submit a refund request with account details and a bank letter verifying ownership of the destination account. Once verified, WEX Bank Treasury processes the refund in 2 – 5 business days.
Statements & Payments
How do customers receive statements?
Customers receive a Flexible Funding Statement via email, which includes statement details for all Flexible Funding companies within their Funding Group.
The statement is also accessible anytime through the Encompass Credit Widget.
Can I customise who receives statements?
Yes. Encompass users with the right permissions can add or remove email recipients to ensure the right people in your business stay informed.
What’s included in a Flexible Funding statement?
Each statement provides a consolidated view of all accounts within your Funding Group, showing:
- Statement Amount: Balance owed on the statement issue date
- Balance Due: Updates dynamically as payments are made
- Flexible Funding Balance: Current available credit line
Customers can also click the email link to view the detailed online version (no login required).
What are the payment options for statements?
- Flexible Funds – Pay directly from the Flexible Funding account. WEX cannot set up an automatic deduction from collateral funds held in your Flexible Funding account, so we require each customer to confirm each month if they want to use any part of their Flexible Funding collateral to pay their statement.
- EFT (Bank Transfer) – Transfer from an approved external account to the WEX client collection account using the TAG corporate account number as the reference.
- Direct Debit – If enabled, payments are automatically drawn from the customer bank account at the end of their grace period
What happens if a statement payment is late?
- Missing the due date (without Direct Debit enabled) flags the account as late
- Two consecutive late payments mark the account as late
- A late account results in account suspension and failed authorisations
What are the statement cycles?
TAG offers grace periods depending on the billing cycle:
- Daily: 1 day
- Weekly: 1, 3, 5, or 6 days
- Monthly: 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, or 25 days
- Custom: Any grace period shorter than the cycle length
For most standalone accounts, the default is monthly + 5 days, balancing flexibility with timely settlement.
