Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does our platform ensure end-to-end Shariah compliance across products and transactions?
Our Islamic banking platform is designed with AAOIFI principles embedded at the core and allows other regulations to be configured as needed. Every transaction is executed within approved Shariah contracts, and automated checks prevent Riba, Gharar, and prohibited income across the Islamic banking system. Built-in audit trails, controls, and continuous validation ensure Shariah compliant banking is enforced throughout the entire transaction lifecycle—from initiation to settlement.
2. Which investment products are natively supported by our solution?
The Islamic banking solution natively supports Mudarabah, Wadiah, and Wakala investment products, providing full lifecycle handling from account setup to profit allocation. Native support within our Islamic core banking platform ensures accurate accounting, reporting, and operational workflows without bespoke adaptations.
3. Which Islamic financing products and contracts are natively supported by our solution?
We support Murabaha, Ijarah, Tawarruq, Istisna’a, Musharakah, and Qard Hasan contracts with end-to-end contract management, booking, accounting, and settlement capabilities. These contracts are implemented as first-class product templates to ensure consistent, Shariah compliant execution across the Islamic banking system.
4. How does our system handle profit pools, P&L distribution, and investment accounts?
The platform includes a robust profit calculation and distribution engine within our Islamic core banking solution that supports multiple profit pools and both periodic and event-driven profit calculations. It automates profit allocation between the bank and customers and delivers transparent P&L distribution with clear visibility for both the bank and the customers.
5. Can our platform support Islamic banking alongside conventional banking on the same core?
Yes. The platform supports Islamic banking alongside conventional banking on a single core while enforcing strict logical and accounting segregation. This enables Islamic banks to operate both models simultaneously with independent product rules, accounting treatments, and compliance controls within one unified Islamic banking system.
6. How flexible is the solution in accommodating different Shariah interpretations and regional requirements?
The platform is highly configurable to accommodate different Shariah board rulings, regional regulatory requirements, and country-specific product variations. Contract parameters, profit methodologies, and business rules can be tailored through configuration—no code changes required—allowing banks to align with local Sharia compliant banking practices.
7. How is Shariah governance, auditability, and compliance monitoring built into the system?
We provide end-to-end Shariah governance capabilities across our Islamic banking platform, including full audit trails for all transactions, Shariah review and approval workflows, exception reporting, and compliance dashboards. The system supports internal and external Shariah audits, ensuring transparency, accountability, and continuous oversight across all Islamic finance activities.
8. How does our architecture enable faster product launches and quicker time-to-market?
Our eMACH.ai architecture powers a modern Islamic core banking platform by shifting from heavy coding to a composable, configuration-driven approach. Shariah-compliant contracts act as modular, low-code Product Factory components. Built on microservices and a headless, API-first design, this Islamic banking software dramatically accelerates product launch cycles while maintaining strict Shariah compliance.
9. How do we support regulatory reporting, controls, and ongoing compliance updates?
The platform includes built-in regulatory reporting and control frameworks within the Islamic banking system that generate regulator-ready reports and apply rule updates through configuration. This allows Islamic banks to adapt quickly to evolving compliance requirements while minimizing operational effort and risk across their Islamic finance portfolio.
10. What makes our Islamic banking platform different from other solutions in the market?
Our differentiators are clear: a purpose-built Islamic banking platform aligned with AAOIFI guidelines; a fully composable, end-to-end customer lifecycle; microservices, cloud-native architecture with AI embedded; and direct ownership and implementation expertise. Backed by experience across 50+ countries, we deliver a proven Islamic banking solution that enables banks to scale confidently while staying aligned with Shariah and regulatory expectations.
11. Does the platform support Zakat calculation, collection and distribution and is it mandatory?
Our platform provides Zakat as a configurable functionality. The module calculates liabilities, automates collection and routing to approved recipients and maintains full Sharia complaint audit trails and reporting- all configurable to local policies and customer opt-in settings.
12. How does Pool Management calculate distributable profit and is this automated or manual?
The Pool Management module computes net pool income and produces distributable profit schedules, supporting multiple pools, periodic or event-driven calculations and adjustments (fees/losses). Unlike many banks that still rely on manuals/spreadsheets, our engine automates calculation → allocation → accounting → reporting with traceable audit logs, giving transparent visibility of what profit will be paid and when.
