DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is WEX Halal?

Fleet-card and bank payment services with failed debt and liquidity screens.

What You Should Know

WEX's March 31, 2026 filing shows debt/assets 33.95%, liquidity/assets 35.40% and receivables plus cash/assets 32.30%; gross interest income is not separately disclosed. Fleet-card, financing and WEX Bank activities create a material qualitative riba question alongside permissible payment services.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt and liquidity screens fail at 33.95% and 35.40%
  • Fleet-card and WEX Bank financing activities
  • Gross interest income and activity revenue not quantified

Not calculated

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

WEX provides fleet-card, corporate-payments, healthcare-benefits and payment-processing services, including WEX Bank. Card credit, financing and bank activities create a material qualitative riba question alongside permissible payment services.

Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator separating payment processing from card-credit, financing and bank activities.

Purification

Gross interest income and a scholar-approved prohibited-revenue numerator are not separately disclosed; no purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt combines $1,631.4 million of short-term debt and $3,605.7 million of long-term debt.
  • Interest-bearing securities use $4,775.4 million of current and $52.2 million of non-current available-for-sale debt securities; equity funds are excluded. Restricted cash is excluded from cash.
  • Accounts receivable are $4,348.9 million and quarterly total revenue is $673.8 million.
  • Operating interest and financing interest expense are disclosed, but gross interest income is not separately disclosed as a standalone screen input.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
