Offa expands team with wave of new hires
Islamic property finance fintech Offa is continuing its rapid expansion with a new wave of staff hires, it has announced today.
The new team members bring a range of expertise from across the finance sector, including roles at HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, NatWest, and Morgan Stanley. Key appointments include Mohammad Mia as Business Development Manager, Khalid Rahman as Broker Support Specialist, and Ruth Chiu as Financial Crime Analyst. Others join in underwriting, home finance advising, and customer support roles.
Offa has recently made headlines with product updates allowing first-time buyers access to buy-to-let finance from age 18, and its acquisition of the Alburaq home finance portfolio from Bank of Ireland. The company also secured £230 million in Sharia-compliant funding to support its growth.
Sagheer Malik, Offa’s group chief commercial officer & managing director of retail finance (pictured), said:
“Offa is experiencing a period of exciting growth, and it’s essential we continue building a team that combines industry expertise with shared values. These new hires reflect our ambition to lead the way in ethical, Sharia-compliant finance – delivering innovation, impact and exceptional service. There is much more to come.”
