The story

Rizq was founded in 2020 in London as a sharia-compliant, ethical digital bank offering retail and business accounts, debit cards, payments, and charity donations via a mobile app. The company raised roughly $3.9M across pre-seed and seed rounds in 2020-2021 but the entity's public status is listed as closed and workforce has declined (14 employees, -22% YoY), suggesting the business has scaled down or wound down operations.
