Amanah Awarded Best Islamic Real Financier Australian Islamic Finance Leader Outperforms US and UK

Amanah Crowned Best Islamic Real Estate Financier Globally in 2025

AWARDED BEST ISLAMIC REAL ESTATE FINANCIER 2025: Melbourne-based Amanah has achieved international recognition by winning the prestigious “Best Real Estate Financier” award in the 2025 Islamic Finance News (IFN) global poll. This landmark achievement marks the first time an Australian Islamic finance institution has received this global distinction, outperforming established institutions from larger markets including the UK and USA.

The award is particularly significant as it comes from IFN, a globally respected provider of specialized Islamic financial media services, in a poll that has been running for the past five years. Amanah’s victory over competitors like Guidance Residential, which has provided USD$5 billion in home finance in the US market, signals Australia’s growing influence in the global Islamic finance landscape.
