How Does Lendo Ensure Shariah Compliance?

When businesses apply for invoice financing, Lendo thoroughly checks whether their business activity and use of funds are in line with the principles of Shariah. That’s a prerequisite for going live on the Lendo platform as an investment opportunity.

Our team is trained to ensure that these values are regularly and consistently met. We have a committed Shariah Supervisory Board that oversees all processes and products, recommending any changes deemed necessary to meet Islamic compliance rules.

We run our business without compromising on our faith and religious values.
