Offa wins prestigious Financial Services Business Of The Year award

We are thrilled to announce that Offa won the Financial Services Business of the Year award at the prestigious Islam Channel Business Awards 2025 on Friday at the Hilton London Metropole.

With stiff competition from major industry players and an esteemed panel of judges led by Sir Iqbal Sacranie OBE, it was a real honour to receive recognition of the Offa team’s tireless work providing innovative, fast and modern Islamic property finance.

The whole room was moved by the words of Husam Zomlot, Palestine’s ambassador to the UK, who spoke at the event to celebrate the ceasefire which had begun that day. Other prominent speakers included Shirine Khoury-Haq, Group CEO, The Co-operative Group, and the Rt Hon Sir Stephen Timms MP.

Accepting the award, Sagheer Malik, Offa’s Chief Commercial Officer & MD of Home Finance, said: “First of all I thank Allah SWT for this honour. Winning this award is a testament to the incredible team I have the privilege of working with every single day.
“At Offa we set out to make Islamic finance faster, fairer and more ethical. As the first Islamic property finance delivering fast decisions and service that rivals even conventional banks, I think this recognition shows that we are on the right path.”

Offa has also been nominated for three NACFB awards and three Birmingham Awards. Fingers crossed…
