The whole process was very simple and Mr Raees made the whole experience very easy for us. I will recommend them to anybody looking for a sharia compliance credit.

Great platform for Sharia-compliant investing. Setup was really quick, everything is straightforward, and it feels good to support local businesses while earning a solid return. Very happy with it!

I've had a very positive experience using the Qardus platform

I've had a very positive experience with Qardus and have been impressed by the professionalism and efficiency of the team. The platform provides a straightforward experience, and the customer service has been particularly noteworthy.

A special mention to Shijie Zhao, Data Scientist at Qardus, for his excellent customer service. Shijie has been efficient, responsive and professional in his approach, taking the time to address my queries clearly and promptly. It's refreshing to deal with someone who is knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely committed to providing a positive customer experience.

Great customer service makes a real difference, especially when it comes to an investment platform, and Shijie is a credit to the Qardus team.

Excellent Service and Support from Start to Finish

I had an excellent experience with Qardus Finance. The entire process was smooth, simple and professionally handled from start to finish. The team was very supportive and kept me regularly updated throughout, so we never felt stuck at any stage.

A special mention to Mr. Rayees for his brilliant support and guidance throughout the process. He was extremely helpful and made everything straightforward for us.

This funding will be a great support in helping me grow my business, and I’m very happy with the overall experience.

Highly recommend Qardus Finance, and I look forward to working with them again in the future! 😊👏🏻

Very poor experience


I invested with Qardus and now deeply regret it.

My husband and I have outstanding balances, and despite sending a formal email asking for a clear investment-by-investment breakdown, arrears position, and details of recovery action being taken, I have never received a response.

My concern is not simply that investments carry risk. My concern is the lack of transparency and communication with existing investors once problems arise.

A recent investor update shared in a group I am in stated that a number of campaigns are now in serious difficulty, including:

* Mullaco Cash & Carry — defaulted, with any return dependent on liquidation/recovery.
* Biomed Care Services — defaulted, with no further scheduled payments.
* Beauty Impex — defaulted, with any return dependent on recovery.
* Dip Batley — defaulted, with no further scheduled payments.
* Errand Plus — defaulted, with the matter reportedly referred to the police.
* Green Solutions — in litigation with lawyers.
* RBH Joseph — around 30% of initial capital reportedly still outstanding and with lawyers.
* AYP Healthcare — 19% reportedly outstanding and with recovery.
* Ride Along 2nd Campaign — 22% reportedly outstanding and with recovery.
* Zoomash 3rd Campaign — with the recovery team.
* Surgimed Clinic — payment was expected, but no wider reassurance was provided.

If these issues affect investor money, then investors should receive clear, direct, investment-by-investment updates rather than having to piece information together through group chats.

I also remain concerned that Qardus has been approaching potential new investors while existing investors are still waiting for clear answers about arrears, defaults and recovery action.

In my experience, communication has been poor, transparency has been inadequate, and the handling of existing investors has been unacceptable.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, and we're sorry you had no response to your earlier email. That should not have happened.
We have now written to you directly with a full breakdown of your investments, the position on each and the recovery action being taken.

Poor communication and lack of business skils

One of my investments started underperforming and I suddenly stopped receiving repayments. No update or communication from the company. Now I have been chasing them for approximately a year and not managed to receive a proper and detailed response other than the generic response that they are looking to recover as much as possible without sharing a timeline. The person I was initially speaking to from their team has also left indicating the high turnover in the business. Overall, updating customers especially when the investment is underperforming is a key factor that unfortunately Qardus have failed to deliver on. I had high hopes for Qardus but it's failing in the basics.

*Update 30th Sept 2026: a week has passed and no email response as a rep from Qardus promised below in their response. Another sign of their slow communication, lack of transparency and unprofessionalism. Invest your money elsewhere!

Hi Adam, thank you for taking the time to leave this, and we're sorry to hear about your experience.

We provide updates as and when there is something material to report. Where a recovery is ongoing and the position has not changed, that work continues in the background, but a recovery timeline is beyond our control — though we understand that periods without news are frustrating.

We will follow up with you directly by email.

An amazing company to deal with!

An amazing company to deal with. I required Sharia-compliant business finance, and the team took the time to explain everything clearly and guide me through the entire process.

The service was extremely fast, professional, and efficient from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them and will be telling my family and friends to make them their first choice for Sharia-compliant business finance.

A fantastic experience overall!

I’ve had a very positive experience…

I’ve had a very positive experience with Qardus. The process was professional, straightforward and efficient from start to finish. Their Sharia-compliant business finance provided a great alternative to conventional lending, and the team were helpful and responsive throughout. I would happily recommend Qardus to other business owners looking for Islamic finance solutions.

Thanks the entire team! Abdul, Hassan, Raees you guys have been amazing!

Attractive yield and great diversifier

I have been investing with Qardus for over 4 years. The yields are attractive and the team is professional in managing the risks of the underlying businesses. I have been using Qardus as part of a diversified portfolio. Highly recommended as a great diversifier and strong social impact to support underlying businesses.

An ethical way to invest

Qardus has offered two platforms for Sharia compliant investing. The original platform involved investing in individual companies. Very good rate of return, but - unsurprisingly - a few of the companies failed to make all payments. Qardus has pursued these but has been slow to keep investors updated. Taking these missed payments into account, my overall return rate has been reasonable. The current platform offers investments in a fund which Qardus use to invest in individual companies. There is less risk to investors from failings of individual companies - and the rate of return is slightly lower to take account of the reduced risk. So far this second platform appears to be performing exactly as advertised.

No proper due diligence

No proper due diligence, now at loss from investment with no resolution and no reply from emails

Update: they have rebuilt their platform and now I can’t even login to see the status of my investment which was in liquidation. Overall I would strongly avoiding them, there are much better and safer platforms elsewhere.

Hi MK, thank you for taking the time to write, and we're sorry your experience fell short.

Accounts from our previous crowdfunding platform remain at qardus.sharein.com/login. If yours isn't accessible, contact us and we'll resolve it directly.

That platform was self-directed - investors selected individual SMEs themselves. We moved away from it because that model concentrated credit risk on individual investors. Qardus today operates a managed platform where our in-house credit team underwrites each transaction and capital is diversified across facilities rather than a single borrower.

Kindly email us to contact@qardus.com should you need further assistance .

Seize if the business don't pay back loan. I invested and at a loss with no resolution at sight. Will take them to court for failing to do proper due diligence. Hope I am wrong but gut feeling says like its a ponzi scheme which relies on new business loans to carry on running.

Bad experience

Unfortunately after investing with them for over 2 and half years I discovered that they aren't working with a Shariaa compliant way depending on Fatwa from trusted Sheikhs. Add to that the very poor customer service team and finally one of the borrowers just stopped paying his payments over 6 months ago and no resolution till date. I regret investing with them.
