New Financial Solutions and Leadership Roles to Support Small Business Growth

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardless,Inc., a leading fintech company known for its co-branded credit cards, today announced its move into the small and medium-sized business (SMB) sector to offer financial products and rewards specifically designed to improve the financial stability of SMBs, and helping them grow in today's competitive market. With Alibaba as its first brand customer, the new service offering from Cardless will help SMBs navigate financial challenges, manage cash flow, attract customers, build business credit and ultimately grow their operations.

"Entering the SMB space allows us to tap into a growing market and address the specific needs that traditional financial services often overlook," said Michael Spelfogel, President and Co-Founder of Cardless. "Our experience across the airline sector has shown us how to tailor solutions effectively, and we're now applying that expertise to help small and medium-sized businesses overcome their unique challenges."

With its agility, rapid market execution, and customer-first approach, Cardless played a key role in forging the partnership with Alibaba.com for the upcoming launch of the e-commerce giant's first US co-branded credit card.
