Stripe to acquire small-business lender Parafin

Original: Stripe agrees to acquire small-business lender Parafin ​ Stripe and its rivals are adding more small-business services,

Payments company Stripe has agreed to acquire Parafin, a lender focused on small businesses. The deal reflects a broader push by Stripe and its competitors to expand beyond payments into lending and other services for small businesses, with new AI-powered tools being used to chase that growing market.

Why now: Stripe's move into small-business lending signals intensifying competition among payments firms to offer a fuller suite of financial services.
