Shein launches branded credit card with Mexican fintech Stori

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Shein is set to launch its first branded credit card worldwide through a partnership with Mexican fintech company Stori, Reuters has reported.

The credit card, which will be branded Mastercard, will offer points to use on Shein’s website with every purchase made as well as double points on clothes orders. 

According to Stori’s website, the card will only be available to new clients and not existing ones. 

In Latin America Shein has boomed in popularity in recent years and it is now looking to build a plant in Mexico and a distribution network in Brazil. 

The credit card announcement comes as the retailer’s profit recently plunged more than 70% to $400m (£308m) as revenue reached $18bn (£13.8bn). The deceleration in growth reportedly comes as a result of rising competition from Chinese fast shopping site Temu

Earlier this month, Reuters also reported that Shein is set to hold investor meetings in the coming weeks over its initial public offer on the London stock exchange. 

Shein and Stori have been contacted for comment.
