Kestrl: Muslim Money App

Description

Kestrl is an app that helps Muslims to Budget, Save and Invest in line with their values. Make your financial dreams come true with Kestrl!

Finance for Muslims has been far from easy. From high fees and poor service levels, to a lack of clarity on what makes a product 'Islamic'- Trust in Islamic Finance within our communities is often low. Kestrl aims to remedy that.

- Save for your goals with Kestrl's Budgeting tool! We take your income and spending habits to work out the best way to maximise your salary!

- Connect all your Bank accounts in one place. Use Open Banking to connect your bank accounts and credit cards to view your transactions in one place.

- Stay on top of bills and upcoming payments. Kestrl keeps an eye on your regular payments, helping you avoid overdrafts and useless subscriptions.

- Future Features: Budgeting is only the beginning! We have a range of upcoming products from halal savings accounts to an ethical and sharia compliant marketplace.

Kestrl is Sharia Compliant!
Kestrl is for everyone, but we wanted to make sure we could help the extremely underserved population of British Muslims too. To this end, we need to ensure everything from our products to our business practices are in line with Islamic or 'Sharia' values. We do this by partnering with Mufti Faraz Adam of 'Amanah Advisors' as our official Sharia Advisors and issuers of our Sharia Compliance Certificate.
