Propel Launches FreshLine For Near-Prime Borrowers
7.1
Propel Holdings in 2024 launched FreshLine, an unsecured credit product for near-prime consumers with 650–700 FICO scores, CEO Clive Kinross said. The product uses machine learning and AI to underwrite based on real-time cash flow, income timing and expense patterns, and launched with $210 million in forward-flow commitments. Propel expects lending-as-a-service to reach about 10% of revenue by year-end.
