AI Decisioning Infrastructure for Finance
About Synapse Analytics
ounded in 2018 by Ahmed Abaza and Galal El-Beshbeshy, Synapse Analytics is an AI decisioning company focused on regulated financial institutions. Its platform brings credit decisioning, onboarding, fraud detection, AML, collections, customer segmentation and customer value management into a unified architecture.
The company says its technology has served 50+ clients, processed more than 10 million applications and facilitated over $200 million in loans. Its customers and partners include Bank al Etihad, Raya, Aman, Souhoola, Forsa, Wasla and others across banking, fintech and telecom.
A key differentiator is that Synapse’s AI can run within a financial institution’s own infrastructure, including on-premises, private or sovereign cloud and air-gapped environments. Its platform lets risk teams build, simulate, version and deploy credit policies without relying on engineering teams, while testing policy changes against historical data before deployment.
