Offa Strengthens Intermediary Visibility with Knowledge Bank

Offa, an award-winning British Islamic property finance fintech firm, has entered into a partnership with Knowledge Bank, the multi-award-winning property finance criteria search system designed for and built by intermediaries.

Commenting on the announcement, Saalik Haleem, Senior Intermediary and Product Manager at Offa, said: “By showcasing our criteria on Knowledge Bank, we are supporting intermediaries in identifying the right solutions for their clients with greater ease. This will also help drive greater awareness of our offering across the intermediary market and is an important first step in strengthening our visibility and footprint among intermediaries, which is a key strategic priority for us.”

Julie Bourne, Criteria and Partnerships Manager at Knowledge Bank, said: “We are pleased to welcome onboard Offa, the newest finance provider to join Knowledge Bank. From hearing about their proposition, we knew that brokers would benefit from learning about their criteria and where they can help place those cases offering different ways to finance investments regardless of whether you are a UK resident, living abroad or a UK based company.”

Offa, the UK’s first halal bridge finance provider, offers the widest range of halal property finance products in the country. In February, Offa launched its innovative and family-friendly Home Purchase Plan, a Sharia-compliant alternative to a conventional residential mortgage, with offers being made within an hour depending upon credit rating and risk criteria thanks to a modern, paperless and ultra-fast application process.

Prior to that, in July 2025, Offa launched an innovative bridge-to-let finance service combining its ultra-fast bridge product with its modern, paperless buy-to-let. The company also recently purchased Bank of Ireland’s Alburaq Sharia-compliant home finance portfolio in a landmark deal.
