Mohy Jishi

Mohy Jishi is a co-founder at Payr, a London-based fintech startup building credit card payment infrastructure for the residential rental market. Jishi studied at King's College London and brings a background in financial technology and operations to the founding team. He has been an active voice in the MENA startup and fintech ecosystem, tracking funding activity and trends across the region.

Payr was co-founded in 2023 by Jishi alongside Arthur Greenwood, Victor Della Faille, and Sami Hassan to solve a structural gap in how UK renters pay their largest monthly expense. Despite rent being the single biggest recurring payment for most UK households, tenants have historically had no way to use a credit card — meaning no flexibility, no cashback, and no rewards for a payment that can exceed £2,600 a month in London.

Jishi serves as Head of Operations at Payr, where he leads the platform's integration work and distribution partnerships. His operational expertise supports Payr's go-to-market strategy of embedding into letting agency platforms and property management systems rather than relying on direct consumer acquisition, reaching renters at the point of tenancy agreement.

Payr raised £1.5 million in a seed round in March 2026, led by Ingenii Capital, with participation from Haatch, Velocity Capital, and the British Business Bank. The capital will be used to expand integrations, deepen product infrastructure, and accelerate distribution across the UK residential rental sector.
