Sifr was born out of the need for the first fully halal and riba-free financial solution in the Netherlands. The founder, Mohamed Karrouch - with 20 years of experience in the financial sector - noticed that people who wanted to stay true to their faith had no suitable alternative. Together with experts and the community, he founded Sifr.

Freedom begins with staying true to what you believe. To build something that feels right. To a way of banking that fits who you are, what you stand for and what you want to pass on.
