Synapse Analytics

Synapse Analytics is an AI-powered credit risk automation platform headquartered in Cairo, Egypt, with additional offices in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Founded in 2018 by Ahmed Abaza and Galal Elbeshbeshy, the company specializes in transforming how financial institutions manage credit, risk, and customer onboarding processes.

Their comprehensive platform enables banks, fintechs, SME lenders, and telecommunications companies to make faster, smarter credit decisions at scale. Synapse Analytics automates the entire credit lifecycle - from customer onboarding and identity verification to AI-driven credit scoring, policy workflows, and real-time portfolio monitoring. The company leverages alternative data sources, including telco and utility data, to help lenders reach previously unbanked markets and expand their customer base.

Trusted by leading financial institutions across the MENA region, including major banks and fintech companies in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, and the UAE, Synapse Analytics has facilitated over $150 million in loans. Their no-code, AI-native orchestration platform with built-in simulations, insights, and AutoML capabilities streamlines the entire loan lifecycle for modern risk officers. The company has achieved impressive results: 5x customer acquisition growth, 40% reduction in non-performing loans, 90% reduction in onboarding time, and 95% reduction in data extraction errors.
