What We Do
Nomo Fintech is the technology start-up behind Nomo, the world’s first fully digital international Islamic bank.
If someone told you that it’s possible to remotely build and launch a brand-new digital bank in less than a year, you probably wouldn't believe them. However, this is exactly what we did here at Nomo Fintech in 2021.
2022 and 2023 saw us continue to develop ethical, solution-driven products for Nomo and form key fintech and banking partnerships across the GCC region. The coming year will see us bring these partnerships to life through innovative products built with world-class technology as we scale as a business and expand into new markets.
United by a passion for tech and a desire to propel Islamic finance into the digital age, we have created an exciting environment to work in. We’ve built a culture in which we encourage and help each other in equal measure, meaning that every team member is given the chance to learn, develop and excel.
