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.
