Supporting our clients.

Supporting the small business owner is part of the fabric of Pitney Bowes. We established the Pitney Bowes Credit Association to provide our customers with flexibility in financing their postage equipment from Pitney Bowes.

From 1970 to 2020…

Today, we still provide lending for postage equipment, but we’ve expanded into the financing of third party equipment. We established Wheeler Financial to extend our commitment to Main Street, helping businesses finance more of their capital expenditures so they may continue to thrive and grow efficiently.
