Introduction: The Future of Islamic Banking Needs More Than Compliance 

Islamic banking is growing fast across MENA, the GCC, Africa, and Southeast Asia (1). But modern customers expect more than Sharia-compliant products. They want speed, digital journeys, and 24/7 access that feels effortless. 

To support this shift, institutions need the best Islamic core banking solution; one that balances compliance with innovation. 

This is where Fimple Islamic Core Banking stands out. It blends strict Sharia compliance with the agility of microservices, composable architecture, and cloud-ready deployment. 

Banks no longer need to choose between innovation and compliance. With Fimple, they get both. 

1. Built for Sharia Compliance from the Core 

Many legacy systems add Islamic banking features as an afterthought. 

Fimple takes a different approach. It embeds Islamic rules at the architectural level. 

Banks can configure: 

• Murabaha (Retail & Corporate) 

• Mudaraba 

• Musharaka 

• Ijara 

• Tawarruq 

• Islamic credit facilities 

• Profit calculation & distribution 

• Islamic accounting templates 

Everything aligns with Islamic principles, AAOIFI standards, and regional regulatory frameworks. 

And because these rules sit in the engine itself, not in custom code; banks avoid the usual delays, manual workarounds, and compliance risks. 

2. One Codebase, Full Flexibility for Every Institution 

Fimple’s architecture relies on one universal codebase. 

Every bank runs the same product engine, while institution-specific rules sit in the integration layer. 

This gives Islamic banks three clear advantages: 

• No custom forks or fragmented builds 

• Instant access to the latest features 

• Lower maintenance costs and zero regression issues 

Banks stay compliant and innovative without rebuilding systems or waiting for vendor-heavy deployments. 

3. Composable Islamic Banking: Configure Products in Weeks, Not Years 

Islamic products often require complex workflows. But with Fimple’s composable model, banks build and launch them through: 

• Configurable APIs 

• Parametric workflows 

• Mapping templates 

• Dynamic profit and settlement rules 

No hardcoding. No long timelines. 

Islamic institutions can introduce new products in weeks, respond to regulatory updates instantly, and adjust their offerings without touching the core. 

4. Designed for Digital-First Islamic Banking 

Modern Islamic banking customers expect seamless digital journeys. 

Fimple supports these journeys through: 

• Real-time transaction processing 

• Islamic digital onboarding 

• API-first connection to wallets, cards, PSPs, and KYC/AML systems 

• Multi-product Islamic financial super-app use cases 

Whether it’s a Murabaha financing workflow or a Sharia-compliant BNPL journey, banks can deliver them through one platform. 

5. Cloud-Ready & Cloud-Agnostic for Global and Local Markets 

Fimple supports all major cloud environments and on-premises deployments. 

Islamic banks can run on: 

• Public cloud 

• Private cloud 

• Hybrid setups 

• Local data centers (required in many GCC and African markets) 

This flexibility ensures that every institution complies with local regulations while staying scalable and efficient. 

6. Islamic Accounting That Works in Real Time 

Islamic products require precise accounting flows. 

Fimple handles all accounting events through standardized templates that map directly to: 

• Murabaha cost/payment cycles 

• Mudaraba profit-sharing 

• Ijara rental schedules 

• Fee-based services 

• Early settlement or restructuring events 

Banks gain real-time visibility, cleaner audit trails, and frictionless reporting across all Islamic portfolios. 

7. Faster Go-Live, Lower Costs, and Zero Disruption 

Islamic banks face unique challenges with legacy cores: 

• slow upgrades 

• manual compliance checks 

• rigid product structures 

• expensive change requests 

Fimple solves these through a design focused on speed and efficiency. 

Most Islamic institutions can go live in 1–3 months, depending on scope and integrations. 

The result is a platform that reduces cost, simplifies operations, and provides long-term digital agility. 

8. A Future-Proof Islamic Banking Engine for MENA, GCC, and Beyond 

Fimple is now deployed across multiple markets where Islamic banking is expanding. 

It supports institutions that want to: 

• Build digital-first Sharia-compliant banks 

• Modernize legacy Islamic cores 

• Expand Islamic products into new markets 

• Serve both Islamic and conventional segments from one platform 

This positions Fimple as a true partner in building the future of Islamic finance—not just a technology vendor.
