Who we are

Nomo Fintech is the technology start-up behind Nomo, the world’s first fully digital international Islamic
bank. If someone told you that it’s possible to remotely build and launch a brand-new digital bank in less
than a year, you probably wouldn't believe them. However, this is exactly what we did here at Nomo
Fintech in 2021.

2023 will see us continue to develop ethical, solution-driven products that elevate Sharia-compliant
digital banking to the level of the world’s best neobanks. Building on our success with Nomo, we’re now
working with global banking and fintech organizations to bring their products to life with our world-class
technology.
