Case Study: Propel America secures corporate cards without personal guarantees and simplifies expense management with Brex

Propel America - Customer Case Study

Propel America, a nonprofit that connects employers, high schools, and training providers to support young adults, was ready to scale programs across several states but couldn’t get a traditional corporate card because it lacked a business credit history and didn’t want staff to give personal guarantees. The organization turned to Brex for a corporate credit card and expense-management solution that could be implemented immediately and applied for in about 20 minutes.

Brex used modern underwriting that bases limits on cash balance rather than credit score, issued cards without personal guarantees, and provided admin tools and integrations (QuickBooks, Expensify) to centralize spending. As a result, Propel America moved marketing and event expenses onto secure corporate cards, issued multiple employee cards, and now manages and reports expenses centrally—eliminating personal risk for founders and simplifying bookkeeping and compliance.
