Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about Islamic Open Finance™.
What is Islamic Open Finance™?
A Shariah-native financial infrastructure platform with 89 specialized rails across 19 categories. Open-source SDKs (Apache 2.0) plus enterprise SaaS.
How is IOF different from conventional core banking?
IOF is Shariah-native from day one — every contract, rail, and compliance check maps to AAOIFI standards. Conventional cores retrofit a Shariah overlay; IOF's ledger, contract engine, and governance rails enforce Islamic finance principles at the architectural level.
Is IOF compliant with regulatory standards?
Yes — SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, PSD2, ISO 27001, ISO 20022, AAOIFI, and IFSB. Compliance is first-class and enforced at every layer (audit trails, encryption, policy-based authorization, evidence packs).
Can I use IOF in multiple jurisdictions?
Yes. IOF ships jurisdiction profiles for DIFC, QFC, ADGM, BNM (Malaysia), OJK (Indonesia), SAMA (Saudi Arabia), SCA (UAE), and more. Each profile maps local regulator requirements to the platform's rails.
How do I get started?
Sign up at join.islamicopenfinance.com, complete KYB onboarding, then provision a sandbox tenant with 5 minutes of setup. Full production API keys activate after Shariah board review.
What does pricing look like?
Open-source SDKs, CLI, and integration playbooks are free (Apache 2.0). Enterprise SaaS has transparent tiers — see islamicopenfinance.com/pricing for current plans.
Does IOF support AI agents and MCP?
Yes — the MCP Gateway at mcp.islamicopenfinance.com exposes all 89 rails as Model Context Protocol tools. Any MCP-compatible agent can discover and invoke them with Shariah guardrails enforced at call time.
Can I self-host IOF?
Yes — BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) deployments are supported. Choose your own cloud provider, manage your own key vault, or run fully air-gapped. The same API contract and Shariah guardrails apply.
