“We’re proud to partner with Propel to further our mutual mission of empowering all Canadians to make financial progress. We’re excited to provide even more ways for Canadians to access credit seamlessly within KOHO when they need it most, with transparent fee structures that ensure their financial goals are met,” said Jack Chung, Chief Product Officer, KOHO.

United by a common mission of expanding financial access, this partnership between two of Canada’s leading fintechs will bring more credit options to consumers overlooked by traditional financial institutions. KOHO’s users will be able to access a line of credit provided by Fora as part of KOHO’s core lending products, making it a seamless experience from end to end. KOHO will introduce and manage the line of credit through their highest-rated App and product experience, while Propel will power the technology, underwriting, servicing and funding of the loans.

“It was clear from our first meeting that together, KOHO and Propel could build a transformational partnership that could positively change the financial landscape for underserved Canadians. With thirteen years of online lending experience, Propel has proprietary technology, deep expertise, and top talent that enables KOHO to launch a best-in-class embedded lending product that can be leveraged by KOHO for their users. Together, with KOHO, we are building financial opportunity for millions of Canadians,” said Noah Buchman, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Propel.

Expected to launch in Q4 2024, the partnership will accelerate growth for both companies while helping more and more Canadians. KOHO will further expand its product offering within consumer lending, while also expediting Propel’s Fora Credit brand growth in the Canadian market.
