KOHO provides a modern alternative to traditional banking in Canada through a prepaid Visa card and a mobile app. It targets individuals who want simple, transparent money management with fewer fees. Users load funds onto a prepaid card, spend with cash back on purchases, and can access features like credit-building services and early payroll. The app shows spending and balances in real time, helping users manage money without a traditional bank account. KOHO makes money mainly from merchant interchange fees when users pay with the card and from optional premium services, while offering a free base product. Unlike typical banks or some fintechs, KOHO emphasizes a free-to-use app and card with clear fees and control over finances.

Tight Credit Market Creates ‘Goldilocks Scenario’ For Alternative Lenders

Mainstream banks and credit unions are re-examining their underwriting standards across consumer and commercial lending. As Clive Kinross, CEO of FinTech Propel Holdings, told PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster, the credit pipeline is about “as tight as it’s been over the last 10 years.” Tariff-related macro uncertainty means that consumers who would otherwise qualify for mainstream credit are now finding themselves in different segments of the market. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in May that late-stage delinquencies on revolving debt surged year over year. Household debt reached $18.2 trillion in the first quarter, increasing by $167 billion, a 0.9% rise from Q4 2024 and a 2.9% year-over-year increase. This marked the lowest annual growth rate since Q1 2021
