Episode 23-Islamic Fintech: Navigating the Landscape and Challenges
Over the past decade, digitalisation and technology have transformed financial services, including payments and interactions between customers and businesses. Islamic fintech aims to do the same but in a Sharia-compliant way.
So, what makes Islamic fintech different? What challenges does it face, and what does its future look like?
In our 23rd episode we spoke to Abdul Haseeb Basit, a digital finance expert with over 25 years of experience. He is a Co-Founder and Principal of Elipses, an advisory and investment firm focused on digital disruption in the finance sector.
In this episode we covered several topics including:
- Defining what Islamic fintech is and the ecosystem's landscape
- Asking whether there is a branding/marketing issue
- Looking at some of the challenges facing Islamic fintechs
