Stewards Partners With Rain to Develop Business Card Providing Small Businesses Recurring Access to Capital

Stewards Inc. (Nasdaq: SWRD) (“Stewards” or the “Company”), a diversified financial platform spanning private credit, real assets and digital infrastructure, today announced a partnership with Rain, a global stablecoin-powered payments platform, to develop a Stewards-branded business card designed to enable a new way to access and deploy approved capital.

This partnership will combine Stewards’ existing small-business financing platform with Rain’s stablecoin-based card issuing and payments infrastructure. Stewards will remain responsible for its customer relationships, underwriting, financing decisions and approvals, while Rain will issue and manage the cards and settlement process.

“We’ve spent years building relationships with small-business owners around their need for capital,” said Shaun Quin, President and CEO of Stewards. “The opportunity now is to make that relationship more recurring. Rather than starting a new financing transaction every time a customer needs capital, we’re building toward an experience where qualified customers can access available capital when they need it and use the card to put that capital to work.”

Since 2020, Stewards and its partners have facilitated more than $153 million in direct and syndicated funding to more than 10,000 small businesses. Stewards intends to introduce the card to qualified customers within its existing small-business ecosystem, creating a program unlike traditional financing that provides recurring access to capital and everyday business spending.

Unlike a traditional financing transaction in which a business receives its entire approved amount at once, the planned platform is designed to allow qualified customers to access available capital as business needs arise, without completing a new application for each use.
