Finance Your Freight with Tabit
Spread your shipping costs over time while keeping your cash free for everything else.
With our partner Tabit, eligible business shippers paying in Canadian dollars can finance freight bookings of $500 or more: with a fully digital process, no paperwork, and no personal credit checks.
Ship Now, Pay Later
Running a business often means balancing tight cash flow with time-sensitive shipping needs.
With Freightera and Tabit, you can ship now and pay over time. Book larger orders, restock when you need to, and free up cash for other business priorities while we get your freight moving.
Tabit is a buy-now-pay-later solution built for businesses. It uses business data to make fast decisions and assumes the credit risk, so you don’t have to rely on personal credit cards or long traditional applications.
