Path Solutions, a global provider of Sharia-compliant banking software solutions and services, has won four categories in the 2019 ACQ5 Global Awards. Building on last year’s three-win, the company topped the Core Banking, Digital Banking, Sharia-compliant Microfinance, and GameChanger of the Year - Islamic Finance categories in this year’s rankings.

For the sixth year, Path Solutions has maintained its top spot in the Core Banking System Provider for Islamic Finance category. This recognition reflects the company’s ability in helping financial institutions to ensure compliance with the appropriate Sharia rulings. Path Solutions’ wide range of Sharia-compliant software solutions and services meet Islamic banks’ unique business needs.

The readers of ACQ5 ranked Path Solutions first in the Digital Banking Platform Provider for Islamic Finance category on the flexibility and agility of its new-age iMAL Islamic digital suite. The multi-award winning digital banking platform allows financial institutions get closer to their customer base. Combined with modern architectural approaches, iMAL allows banks to tailor interest-free products and services with a consistent and seamless experience across all channels, with a strong executable workflow and orchestration capabilities, all this while supporting constant change and reducing risk.

The iSHRAQ*Microfinance solution earned Path Solutions first place in the Sharia-compliant Microfinance Solution of the Year category for the fifth year running. Islamic microfinance organizations and cooperatives use iSHRAQ*Microfinance solution to manage term deposits, create and manage loans and automated loan repayments, enabling detailed reporting to ensure thorough audit trails. Islamic microfinance institutions also rely on iSHRAQ*Microfinance for a complete general ledger accounting trial balance, income statement, balance sheet, journal transaction or any other transaction, and meet Sharia compliance requirements.
