Credit Analyst

Shahry is a mobile credit card. Launched in 2019, we have grown exponentially accelerating access to credit for un- and underbanked Egyptians. Positioned as a buy-now-pay-later app for goods, Shahry offers Egypt's only fully digital lending option where applying for credit happens without a `wet signature` or documentation.

We source products exclusively from reputable merchants and allow monthly repayment of purchases through digital payments, credit cards, or Egypt's vast network of over 200k PoS.

Shahry is also Egypt's only startup funded and partnered with a regulated bank, allowing us unlimited access to financing and industry expertise to build a radical and innovative fintech platform.

This is an example of the stuff that gets us excited: hypothesis testing, automation, digitizing (behavioral) footprints, user profiling, removing barriers and rocking the boat in general.
