Rapidus, a marketplace connecting business shippers with professional courier delivery partners, recently announced a partnership with Lean, a platform that partners with marketplaces to offer gig workers access to financial products custom-built for their needs, to offer instantaneous payouts and financial products across their partner base. Rapidus is a growing leader of innovative B2B delivery solutions providing fast, trackable, convenient, cost-effective and guaranteed 24/7 deliveries across California, Colorado, Washington, Texas, and Illinois.
“Fast access to income and financial products is the number one need our delivery partners communicate to us today,” said Olexandr Prokhorenko, co-founder of Rapidus. “In a current turbulent and post-COVID world, being part of the gig economy has been increasingly difficult, and the pandemic has highlighted the inequity in the financial system against so many working Americans. Drivers understand the system needs to change and through our partnership with Lean, we’re helping drive that change and tilt the system in their favor.”

Historically, couriers, messengers and gig workers have had to rely on high-cost debt, payday loans, limited access to earned capital, and antiquated credit and financial systems. Through Lean, gig and flexible workers get access to no-fee cash advances, instant payouts, and various financial products, all in one place, seamlessly managed on their behalf.
“Rapidus is a partner-focused company and continues to bring industry-leading value to tens of thousands of our delivery partners,” said Prokhorenko. “With thousands of professional courier delivery companies using Rapidus to connect with business shippers across our multistate service area, and our recent expansion in the retail, pharma, and e-commerce distribution space, it is more critical than ever to enable a thriving network of drivers and continue to create value on both sides of the coin in a reliable and transparent manner.”
