StrideUp's story

In 2017 I started StrideUp with the intention of giving people banking products that are fair, ethical and Shariah-compliant.

Having worked at global banks, I saw first-hand how a system built with ethical values at its heart could benefit humanity.

With gratitude, we are proud to now have the leading product range of Islamic home purchase plans. Join me and our dedicated team to accomplish your home ownership goals, all without having to compromise your beliefs.

Sakeeb Zaman, CEO

Who we are

Based in London, StrideUp is a diverse team made up of individuals from mortgage, finance and technology backgrounds. Despite our many backgrounds and experiences we all share a single goal - to make ethical and Shariah-compliant finance options easier for you! 

We believe individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs should have the opportunity to access home financing and we understand the difficulties many face in doing so. 

Our team is here to give you hands-on assistance and advice from day one, helping to make your dream home a reality. 

StrideUp is authorised by the FCA to provide regulated home finance.
