This is a guide on how to activate Halal Pesa. Halal Pesa is the first Shariah-compliant based digital financing product powered by Mpesa in partnership with Gulf African Bank. Currently, it is a financing product only and does not have saving.

Halal Pesa was designed to cater to Muslim customers, who stay out of other lending products since they don’t adhere to Shariah law which does not allow taking loans or borrowing money from banks or individuals where interest is charged.

The product is based on Shariah principles and operates under the Tawarruq model, which basically means that the customer is given a facility and not a loan. It is available to all Mpesa registered users.

How to Activate Halal Pesa
