Rizq

Rizq

Crunchbase Website Twitter Facebook Linkedin

Rizq is the UK’s first alternative Islamic digital banking app. Rizq bestows a personal and seamless digital Islamic banking experience, which fully appreciates a Muslim’s core values – on an emotional, as well as a lifestyle level.

Signup up and using Rizq is extremely simple, plus – we save you tonnes of cash on everything from daily shopping, to overseas money transfers. Rizq enables you to make lightning-quick payments, set up budgets, donate to any charity of your choice, and earn cashback in some of the UK’s most popular retailers.

The task of opening and maintaining ethical Sharia-compliant banking products in the UK is confusing, tedious, and operationally traditional. British Muslims are looking for a current account that can provide a seamless experience within the western world, without compromising on their beliefs and value system.

Unfortunately, current banking solutions are disconnected to the audience and those people who engage them. So – whilst Muslims want to create meaningful connections within the community, to support local charities and businesses, and generally empower their finances to be a driver for positive change – it is difficult to achieve this without an enabler.

Enter, Rizq. The Rizq team have lived the problem, and are now solving it by crafting a personal and seamless digital Islamic banking experience.

Our aim is to facilitate financial success within the community, by developing a really high performing and useful product, which does not conflict with Islamic beliefs and establishes a real bond with its key stakeholders (i.e. the customers)..

Moni is a mobile money transfer platform that enables its users to transfer funds from their bank account directly into that of a recipient. The app lets a user choose who they want to send money to and then the amount they want to send.

The user then puts in their bank details which they can either do manually or by quickly scanning their debit card using their mobile phone’s camera. The user must then choose how to send the money to the recipient: either to their bank account or to a mobile phone.

If sent to the recipient’s bank account then the sender has to put in the recipient’s bank details. If the money is sent straight to the recipient’s phone, then the receiver can choose which bank account the money will go into and can put in the details him/herself.

The sender is notified by text when the recipient has accepted the transfer and can track the progress of the transfer via the app and by SMS notifications. Moni was created by Fernando Saturno and Laurence Aderemi in 2013..
