Halal Pesa

This is the first Shari’ah compliant, digital financing product powered by MPESA in partnership with Gulf African Bank Ltd. Currently, it is a financing product only and does not have saving, which will be introduced later.

How it works

This product was designed to cater to our Muslim customers who stay out of other lending products since they don’t adhere to Shari’ah law. Shari’ah law does not support/allow taking loans/borrowing money from banks or individuals where interest is charged.

Since Halal Pesa product is based on Shari’ah principles, it operates under Tawarruq model: which basically means that the customer is given a facility and not a loan. For customers who would like to verify the Shari’ah compliance of the product and other product details please visit www.gulfafricanbank.com
