Propel Holdings Inc. (TSX:PRL) announced a new partnership with fintech company KOHO to enhance lending for Canadian customers.

Through its Canadian brand Fora Credit, Propel will act as KOHO’s exclusive embedded lending partner. The partnership will allow qualified KOHO users to access a line of credit through Propel’s AI-powered lending platform within the KOHO app.

This endeavor is expected to launch in Q4 2024.

Founded in 2014, KOHO’s platform is equipped with a Mastercard for spending and tools for KOHO users to earn and borrow money, build credit, and budget.
