Shervin Rashti believes technology should be an advantage, not an afterthought. His company developed their own proprietary technology, SLIM Suite — a platform that handles credit adjudication, processing and onboarding end-to-end, increasing deal speed and efficiency for all users. Having control over its domain and services allows SLIM to make quick modifications as business needs evolve.

Technology disruption is a guiding ethos for Rashti, driving early adoption of emerging tools like AI and fintech and keeping SLIM at the cutting edge of technological development.

“As we automate and digitize every part of the transaction lifecycle, we also have to stay a step ahead of the fraud and security risks that come with it,” Rashti says. “Efficiency and vigilance have to advance together, not one at the expense of the other.”
