Questions
Common questions.
Is this really interest-free?
Yes. Gobanimo Microfinance uses Sharia-compliant structures — Mudaraba (profit-sharing), Murabaha (cost-plus sale), and Ijara (leasing). There is no riba (interest), no penalty interest, and terms are agreed transparently upfront and reviewed by our Sharia board.
How long does approval take?
Most applications receive a decision within hours. AI agents prepare KYC, credit, and Sharia checks, but a staff member always makes the final approval before any money moves.
What can I use the financing for?
Working capital, inventory, equipment, and other productive business needs. The right product depends on your purpose — our team will help you choose.
Which cities do you serve?
Our pilot serves Hargeisa, Bosaso, and Mogadishu — with more locations to come as we grow.
