Shur is a financial services company and the national authority on the complex financial lives and unique economic challenges of America's 45 million student loan borrowers. Using data insights, AI, and our financial capability products, we partner with corporations, government, and membership & professional organizations to strengthen the wealth and fiscal independence for these Americans and their families. Founded in 2020, Shur is registered as a c-corp public benefit corporation and led by Founder and CEO, Kahlil Byrd (KB).
Purpose
In an era when companies and cities must show recent college graduates, new employees, and consumers how they encourage economic security, Shur is building market-based Insurtech/Fintech products to promote economic freedom for America’s next generation – 18 to 35 years old. Partnering with companies, cities, and membership organizations we successfully guide student loan borrowers from college through their early professional lives – the financial period that is crucial to get right. Our products promote generational wealth by helping users eliminate early mistakes, build financial plans, and adopt deep understanding of prime credit-building tools. Shur uses an ecosystem approach, building solutions for borrowers in collaboration with cities, corporations, colleges, college access organizations, data & insights providers, and impact investors. From the beginning, Shur is making it possible for younger Americans to create and maintain wealth.
