Pakistan Sees Maiden Islamic Nano Financing Product By Walee Financial Services 

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- Walee Financial Services Pvt Ltd has introduced Pakistan’s first Islamic nano-financing product, offering interest-free (riba-free) nano-finance through a unique commodity-based trade structure under its fintech brand Hakeem.

With this powerful message, Walee aims to provide accessible financial solutions that empower individuals and promote sustainable economic growth, with the goal of providing an ethical financial alternative to individuals, promoting equitable financial inclusion in Pakistan.

Walee Financial Services, Head of Shariah, Dr Rashid Mansoor said this is a momentous achievement in rolling out Islamic Nano-Finance.

“It has been made possible through the grit, passion, and unwavering faith of our founding team in Islamic finance, highlighting the benefits to society at large. True Shariah compliance has been achieved through cutting-edge technology, supported by esteemed Muftis and Shariah scholars,” he said a statement.

At the heart of Walee Financial Services’ Islamic nano-financing product lies a Tawarruq-based structure that is executed in an unorganised form. In this model, customers participate in a commodity trade process to secure financing without the involvement of interest.

This innovative product ensures that all transactions are free from riba, aligning with the principles of fairness and transparency advocated by Islam, as the passage of the 26th Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2024, sets a clear deadline of Jan 1, 2028, for the complete elimination of riba in Pakistan’s financial system.

By offering Shariah-compliant financing facilities, Walee Financial Services is actively contributing to the country's mission to transition toward a Shariah-compliant economy, aligning with the Federal Shariat Court’s ruling that abolishing riba is fundamental for an Islamic financial system, and supporting the State Bank of Pakistan’s efforts to promote Islamic finance across the country.

As Pakistan moves towards a riba-free economy, Walee Financial Services leads this transformation. With Hakeem, Walee offers a groundbreaking financial solution while actively supporting the government's agenda to eliminate interest-based financial practices.

By fostering ethical, Shariah-compliant finance, Walee contributes to sustainable economic growth and financial inclusion, ensuring that Islamic finance serves the needs of Pakistan's diverse population.
