Propel, Inc. is a fintech software company based in Brooklyn, New York, founded in 2014 by Jimmy Chen. The company focuses on enhancing the financial health of low-income Americans by modernizing access to government benefits and financial tools. Propel aims to create respectful and effective technology that helps families navigate financial challenges with dignity.

The company's flagship product, Fresh EBT, is a mobile app that allows users to track their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) balances and other government benefits easily. This app is free and serves over five million users monthly, helping families manage their benefits and reduce food insecurity. Propel also offers a debit card banking product tailored for government benefits recipients, making it easier for them to access and manage their funds. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Propel supported users in applying for increased food stamp payments and collaborated with charities to distribute cash payments to those in need.
