Default charges

We do not apply default charges or penalty fees if a facility runs beyond its term.

No

Early repayment charges

Redeem whenever your exit completes. There is no cost to repaying early.

How the facilities are structured

Our facilities do not charge interest. They are built on commodity murabaha — a purchase and sale arrangement in which the profit is a fixed amount, agreed in writing before the facility begins.

That has a practical consequence worth stating plainly: the amount you repay is known at the outset and does not grow over time. There is no compounding, no rolled-up interest and no accrual against the balance.

The structure is Sharia-compliant. It is also, we think, simply a clearer way to lend.

Facilities are secured by a first legal charge over the property. Borrowers are companies and individuals acquiring or refinancing investment and commercial property. We do not lend on owner-occupied homes.
