Moving Forward with Impact
We extend our sincere thanks to the organizing partners and all those who visited, connected, and contributed to the dialogue.

Walee Financial Services App “Hakeem” awarded by Monetary Authority of Singapore : A major milestone for Islamic finance & Pakistan.
In a proud moment for Walee Financial Services and the broader Islamic finance ecosystem, our pioneering Islamic digital financing product, Hakeem, has received top honors at the 10th-anniversary Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) Awards. This prestigious recognition, awarded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in collaboration with PwC and the Singapore FinTech Authority, underscores not only the growth and promise of Islamic digital finance but also places Pakistan on the global map for financial technology and innovation.
With over 200 submissions this year, MAS winners & criteria only eight winners were selected across six award categories by a distinguished panel of global industry experts. Walee Financial Services was recognized among an elite group of winners, including Tencent, one of the world’s largest and most influential FinTech companies. In a memorable moment, Walee was the first company called to the stage to receive this award, highlighting the early success of our Hakeem app. This award is more than an accolade; it is a testament to our relentless dedication to innovation, the power of Islamic finance, and the enduring impact of inclusive, shariah-compliant solutions.
- A Win for Islamic Finance Islamic finance, projected to be a $7 trillion industry by 2027, is a rapidly expanding field that aligns finance with ethical principles, providing shariah-compliant alternatives to traditional financial products. Hakeem, our digital Islamic financing app, was designed to meet the needs of underserved communities and those still financially excluded, offering ethical, accessible financing on a digital platform.
- A Breakthrough for Pakistan’s FinTech Sector This recognition also shines a spotlight on Pakistan’s thriving tech and innovation sectors. Pakistan’s inclusion in this global recognition highlights the country’s evolving capacity for innovation and its commitment to excellence. As the country attracts attention from foreign direct investment (FDI) and banking partnerships, it holds great promise for opening doors to global banking collaborations and funding opportunities that will fuel FinTech growth.
- The Unique Team Behind Hakeem The success of Hakeem is a result of the unique blend of experience and innovation that defines our team at Walee Financial Services. We are proud to have a core team of seasoned Islamic bankers who were instrumental in establishing banks like Emaan Islamic Bank and Dubai Islamic Bank from the ground up. Their expertise in Islamic banking is complemented by the knowledge of our data scientists, developers, and tech specialists. Together, we combined deep-rooted Islamic finance principles with cutting-edge technology to create Hakeem, a solution designed to empower underserved communities with access to ethical financing.
- The Journey and Vision Behind Hakeem Launching a successful, shariah-compliant digital financing solution has been no easy feat, requiring years of hard work, innovation, and a tireless commitment to building an ethical financial system. The name Hakeem, meaning “wise,” was chosen by our mentor, Mr. Rehan Merchant, who has been instrumental in shaping our journey. The name resonates with our goal of empowering users to make wise financial decisions while providing a service that aligns with the shariah. In this way, Hakeem offers much more than a product—it is a financial tool designed to uplift communities, SMEs, and individuals while reflecting one of the noble attributes of Allah (Al Hakeem).
Our journey with Hakeem included the implementation of an unorganized tawarruq model under a classical framework based on the murabaha principle. This innovative approach simplifies access to finance for underserved communities, MSMEs, and consumers. Hakeem offers easy access to funding through a transparent, shariah-compliant model that makes the dream of financial inclusion for all a reality.
Thanks to the support of our shariah advisors, global mentors in Islamic finance, and technology innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning, this framework has come to life in 2024. This groundbreaking milestone is a testament to the combined efforts of our shariah, tech, operations, finance, customer service, compliance, and business teams who shared this vision.
Acknowledgments to Industry Enablers and Supporters By 2028 Islamic Finance is a must in Pakistan
This achievement could not have been realized without the collaboration of regulators, notably the SECP, who stood firmly against predatory lending practices, enabling ethical, innovative solutions like Hakeem to flourish under clear shariah guidelines. The State Bank of Pakistan and the Ministry of Finance have also played essential roles in creating an ecosystem where Islamic finance can thrive, furthered by the recent 26th constitutional amendment bill to eliminate riba (interest) by 2028. This measure is expected to foster the growth of Islamic banking in Pakistan, creating a positive environment for financial inclusion.
A Personal Reflection: The Evolution of Islamic Finance and the Path Forward Reflecting on the early days of Meezan Bank, Dubai Islamic Bank, Faisal Bank, and Bank Alfalah, I remember the initial challenges and immense innovation that drove these institutions to launch pioneering Islamic financial products. Despite the difficulties of those early years, Islamic banking now leads in customer satisfaction, profitability, and business growth. Today, history is repeating itself with a modern twist. This time, with the integration of advanced technology and the collective experience we’ve built, the journey of Islamic finance is unfolding faster, more efficiently, and with even greater promise. Together, we’re shaping a new era in “Islamic FinTech” to solve real problems on the ground, bringing inclusive, shariah-compliant finance to those who need it most.
GFTN Role: A New Era for Global FinTech Innovation
As we celebrate this win, we look forward to new avenues of collaboration, particularly with GFTN. Previously known as Elevandi has now evolved with four strategic arms:
- GFTN Forums: A global conference convenor dedicated to finance and technology.
- GFTN Advisory: A knowledge center offering practitioner-led advisory services and research on innovation policies and ecosystems.
- GFTN Platforms: A digital platform service provider for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises.
- GFTN Capital: An investment fund for technology start-ups with high potential for sustained growth and positive social impact.
GFTN Capital will look to invest in disruptors likes of Walee Financial Services, leading in Islamic FinTech innovations.With gratitude and optimism,

Walee Financial Services Introduces Pakistan’s First Islamic Nano Financing Product
Walee Financial Services Pvt Ltd. proudly introduces 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©. This innovative product embodies the ethos of “سود نہیں تجارت,” emphasizing a commitment to ethical financing that aligns with Islamic principles.
With this powerful message, Walee aims to provide accessible financial solutions that empower individuals and promote sustainable economic growth. The goal is to provide an ethical financial alternative to individuals, promoting equitable financial inclusion in Pakistan.
Commodity Trade as the Foundation of Shariah Compliance
At the heart of Walee Financial Services’ Islamic nano-financing product lies a Tawarruq-based structure, that is executed in an un-organized 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.
Contributing to Pakistan’s Riba-Free Future
The launch of this Islamic nano-financing product aligns Walee Financial Services with our religious obligation as Muslims, and the national agenda to eradicate interest-based financial practices. The passage of the 26th Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2024, sets a clear deadline of January 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. This aligns with the Federal Shariat Court’s ruling that abolishing riba is fundamental for an Islamic financial system, and supports the State Bank of Pakistan’s efforts to promote Islamic finance across the country.
Shariah Board’s Role in Designing the Product
Speaking on the importance of achieving true Shariah compliance, Dr. Rashid Mansoor, Head of Shariah at Walee Financial Services, 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.”
This commitment reflects the Quranic injunction against riba:
“Allah has permitted trade and forbidden riba.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:275)
Supporting Pakistan’s Economic Transformation
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.
