Propel

Propel, Inc. is a Brooklyn-based fintech company, founded in 2014, that builds financial tools for Americans with low income. Its free consumer app, Providers (formerly Fresh EBT), is used by more than five million people each month to check their SNAP/EBT balances instantly across 49 states, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories, secure their benefits card with locking and fraud monitoring, find exclusive offers and discounts on groceries, phone plans, internet, utilities, and healthcare, receive alerts about benefit policy changes, browse local job and gig-work listings, and predict deposit dates. Propel is a consumer-facing mobile product and does not publish a public developer API, SDK, or developer portal; it operates a public status page and a signed RFC 9116 security.txt for coordinated vulnerability disclosure. The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Nyca Partners, Kleiner Perkins, JPMorgan Chase, Salesforce Ventures, the Financial Health Network, and Flourish Ventures.

Propel is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Financial Services, Government Benefits, and SNAP.
