FedEx Dataworks is collaborating with Stripe Capital to help small and medium-sized businesses access financing by leveraging supply chain data. The partnership will combine shipping activity, inventory movement, and fulfillment metrics with traditional financial information to create a more comprehensive view of business performance. This approach aims to accelerate lending decisions and reduce approval friction compared to conventional financing models. Stripe Capital will use real-time operational signals from FedEx shipments to evaluate creditworthiness and deploy customized funding more rapidly. The initiative follows FedEx's recent partnerships with ServiceNow and Dun & Bradstreet to convert logistics data into predictive insights. A joint product is expected to launch in early 2027, enabling businesses to convert operational momentum into growth capital.
