Under the competition track 4 social entrepreneurship, RizqX aimed to promote financial inclusivity in Singapore and SEA by empowering Muslims with the knowledge and tools to make informed financial choices while adhering to the Shariah principles.

RizqX: Shariah-compliant investment

This is made possible by curating an extensive range of Shariah-compliant investment options from diverse global institutions and consolidating them into an all-in-one platform. The platform also provides detailed independent reviews, as well as educational resources for the community. As of February 2024, stage 1 of RizqX is live with 44 investment options. 

“Our platform captured the panellists’ hearts as it solves a real gap in the SEA Muslim market. The community is facing monetary and time loss attempting to find investment options in harmony with Shariah values. Current options are scattered and there is no holistic comparison platform for informed decision-making. We look forward to increasing accessibility and financial literacy of the community for informed decision-making,” said Muhammad Ridhwaan Radzi, CSAA, Managing Director, RizqX

Muhammad Nur Salihin Bin Samsudin, COO, RizqX added, “We are honoured to be able to make Singapore proud on an international stage. This win is a significant step for the team as it highlights a real demand not just in SEA but in the Middle East as well. We look forward to growing our market steadily, starting with Singapore.”
