This certification will boost regulator, investor, and public confidence in the operations and product set of any financial institution seeking Shari’ah compliance upon deployment of the software.”

Mr. Mohammed Kateeb, Group Chairman & CEO, Path Solutions, said, “It has been always identified that strengthening the standards in Islamic finance is one of the most important areas that the industry needs to work on, and because we have always recognized the critical role that AAOIFI plays in setting these standards and strengthening the industry as a whole, we are excited about this AAOIFI certification of iMAL which reemphasizes our position as a leader in Shari’ah-compliant information technology.” Kateeb stated, “Such conformance assessment allowed for reviewing and qualifying iMAL to serve multiple jurisdictions from a Shari’ah compliance perspective.
