Sharia Board
The Shariah advisory board is comprised of experts in the interpretation of Islamic Law and its application within modern day financial solutions.
They are leading scholars representing a wide spectrum of Islamic faith and they ensure that Shariah compliance is at the heart of everything we do and every product and service that we offer.
The board meets on a regular basis to review all contracts and agreements relating to our transactions as well as to advise us, guide us and sanction any new services that we introduce. The Board certifies every account and service we provide- without their approval, we cannot introduce a new product or service.
