Company mission
To redefine the standard of Islamic financial services.
Our take
For many in the UK, owning a home feels out of reach, especially for those looking for a halal alternative to a mortgage. Traditional home loans often don't align with Islamic financial principles, and that can leave Muslims with few ethical options for buying a home. Add in strict lending criteria and confusing jargon, and it's easy to see why home ownership can feel frustrating and unfair.
StrideUp offers Sharia-compliant Home Purchase Plan that let people buy or refinance a home without compromising on values. Its model is built around fairness, clarity and flexibility, with no interest, no hidden fees, and no complicated terms. Making its a smooth, inclusive option.
So far, StrideUp has helped thousands of people on their path to home ownership, including many who were turned away by traditional lenders. With big plans to grow into a full digital Islamic bank, StrideUp is truly redefining what ethical finance can look like in the modern world.
