Fintech for the Justice-Impacted Community

FRSH is a fintech platform designed to support organizations that serve those involved or impacted by the justice system. Our mission is to turn generational poverty into generational wealth by providing turnkey solutions for cash assistance programs, mobile banking, financial education, and health insurance.

Why FRSH?

FRSH is 100% focused on giving the justice-impacted community access to the best banking products and services, regardless of background. We are breaking down the roadblocks created by decades of systemic discrimination and minimizing fees to make it more affordable to live in today’s electronic society.

Built by the justice-impacted community, for the justice-impacted community, FRSH addresses common barriers such as lack of valid ID, upfront capital, and accumulated debt. We eliminate these barriers, providing a fresh start for those who need it most.

Our Commitment

We hear you. We see you. We got you. Financial stability is crucial for successfully re-entering society, and the justice-impacted community deserves the chance at economic mobility and a stable, prosperous future.

A Message from Dr. Topeka K. Sam

“With more than 40,000 legal barriers to banking, employment, education, and more, we’ve experienced first-hand the basic human rights violations faced by millions of Americans impacted by the criminal legal system. FRSH is our solution—a critical necessity for our community. Equity and access to financial education, products, and services matter. Our lived experience is our expertise. We are built for the community, by the community. Just that simple.”
