Offa has partnered with Knowledge Bank as the Islamic property finance fintech looks to increase its visibility among intermediaries.
The agreement will see Offa’s criteria added to Knowledge Bank, the property finance criteria search platform used by brokers to identify lenders and product options for client cases.
Offa said the move formed part of a wider strategy to strengthen its presence in the intermediary market.
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 describes itself as the UK’s first halal bridge finance provider and says it offers the widest range of halal property finance products in the country.
In February, the firm launched its Home Purchase Plan, a Sharia-compliant alternative to a conventional residential mortgage. Offa said the product can issue offers within an hour, depending on credit rating and risk criteria, through a paperless application process.
In July 2025, Offa also launched a bridge-to-let finance service, combining its bridge finance product with its buy-to-let proposition.
The company has also recently purchased Bank of Ireland’s Alburaq Sharia-compliant home finance portfolio.
