Wheeler Financial from Pitney Bowes will help clients purchase new
equipment and services critical to the industries in which they operate
with loans, leases, and other financial structures. Focused on
non-captive equipment, this investment in the sustainability and growth
of small and medium businesses comes at an opportune time. According to
the most recent National Center for Middle Market Indicator, 71% of
businesses surveyed are planning to invest extra cash into their
business. In addition, the FDIC reports that small business loans have
declined for 10 straight quarters, while banks with $100M of assets or
less decreased by 79% between the years 1998 to 2018.
"We understand our client's needs for capital are growing," said
Christopher Johnson, Senior Vice President and President, Pitney Bowes
Financial Services. "The market's ability to meet that need is actually
shrinking. With the launch of Wheeler Financial, we are committed to
investing in our clients' growth by helping them acquire the assets
essential to their business operations."
The Pitney Bowes Bank, Inc., Member FDIC, resides in SaltLake City,
Utah and was established in 1997 to facilitate buying of U.S. postage -
a form of currency. Clients can access extended lines of credit for
postage, supplies, shipping expenses and postal equipment rental. In
addition, they can hold deposit accounts and earn interest while they
prepay for postage services. Pitney Bowes Financial Services has been
providing commercial lending opportunities and solutions to purchase
Pitney Bowes equipment for more than 30 years; financing over $10B to
date. With the advent of Wheeler Financial, Pitney Bowes has access to
bank capital ready to loan out to SMBs.
Pitney Bowes is expanding investment in its financial services business
as it makes resources available to its significant small and medium
business client base. The company has facilitated commerce for nearly
100-years and is committed to having a positive impact on local
communities and jobs.
Wheeler Financial is named in honor of Walter Wheeler, who served Pitney
Bowes for over four decades in roles such as salesman, European
representative, general manager, CEO and Chairman. He was a visionary in
commerce whose impact continues to inspire the company today.
