About Lynk
Lynk (Arabic: لينك) is a Saudi financial technology company that supports financial institutions in carrying out the banking mediation step of Murabaha financing quickly and in line with Islamic Sharia principles. The platform connects institutions directly with approved suppliers so that a Murabaha transaction, in which the financier buys an asset and sells it on to the customer, can be completed digitally. Lynk's website says the process takes seconds, runs around the clock, is overseen by a certified Sharia committee, and that technical integration for institutions comes at no cost.
Products listed on the site cover personal finance, credit-card finance, corporate finance, peer-to-peer finance, margin finance, term deposits and micro finance. A suppliers page invites vendors to join the supplier network.
