CLEVELAND, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Small Business Financial Exchange (SBFE) and Creditsafe today announced that Creditsafe has joined the SBFE partner ecosystem, alongside Dun & Bradstreet, Equifax, Experian, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and bluCognition. As an SBFE partner, Creditsafe will expand access to SBFE data and enable new solutions for suppliers, vendors, and other commercial organizations that serve small businesses across the United States.

SBFE is the leading source of small business credit payment performance information in the United States, providing a unique view of how small businesses manage and repay financial obligations. Through its participation as an SBFE partner, Creditsafe will be able to incorporate SBFE data into solutions designed to help organizations better evaluate and monitor business risk.

"Our goal has always been to help create a more transparent and informed credit marketplace for small businesses," said Elisabeth MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer of SBFE. " Creditsafe's market reach creates new opportunities for SBFE data to support responsible credit decisions, stronger business relationships and greater access to capital so small businesses can leverage growth opportunities."

Creditsafe serves businesses around the world with commercial credit, risk management, and business intelligence solutions. The company is particularly well-established among suppliers, trade creditors, procurement teams, and organizations seeking broader insight into the financial health of customers and business partners.

"Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy, but historically, a lack of reliable business information has made them some of the hardest companies to evaluate" said Matthew Debbage, CEO of Americas and Asia, Creditsafe. "Our partnership with SBFE marks a significant milestone in expanding access to one of the industry's richest sources of small business payment performance data. By making these unique insights available to the wider business community through Creditsafe, we are helping businesses make more informed credit decisions, extend trade credit with greater confidence, reduce risk, and build stronger commercial relationships. Greater transparency doesn't just benefit lenders and suppliers, it creates more opportunities for creditworthy small businesses to access the trade credit and financing they need to invest, grow, and strengthen the U.S. economy."
