In partnership with @ColumnTax this year, we helped Providers users claim $50m in refunds, and 40% of those who filed with us didn't file taxes last year. Improving the tax experience is a huge opportunity to serve low-income families @FastCompany: fastcompany.com/90894452/colum…

2022 was a year of significant change and challenge for the over 5 million households that use the @JoinProviders app to manage their SNAP benefits. We observed three key trends 🧵


What’s the most popular financial product among low-income Americans? It's the EBT card. In @AmerBanker I argue @CFPB must cover EBT accounts in order to provide low-income Americans with equal rights & consumer protections. americanbanker.com/opinion/cfpb-s…
