✔️ 100% transparent profit model with traceable impact
✔️ Every £1 invested generates £4.50 in social value
✔️ Competitive returns from 8-15% without exploitative fees

Our Investment Principles

GPOD's ethical investment framework is built on five core principles that ensure financial returns are generated without exploitation or hidden costs.

1

No Predatory Interest

Unlike payday lenders, GPOD never charges workers interest on accessed wages. Returns come from fair, transparent service fees—not from exploiting financial vulnerability.

2

Shariah Compliance

Our model adheres to Islamic finance principles, avoiding interest (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and speculation (maysir). Returns are based on genuine service provision and shared prosperity.

3

Full Transparency

Every pound invested is traceable through our platform. Investors have real-time visibility into how their capital is being utilized, by whom, and the direct impact it's creating.

4

Measurable Impact

Our dashboard provides quantifiable metrics on how your investment reduces financial stress, eliminates predatory lending, and improves worker wellbeing and productivity.

5

Fair Distribution

GPOD's profit distribution model ensures fair returns for investors while maintaining affordable access for workers. Our tiered approach balances financial and social returns.

Shariah Compliance

GPOD's investment model has been certified Shariah-compliant by leading Islamic finance scholars. Understand how our approach aligns with Islamic finance principles.

No Interest (Riba)

GPOD never charges interest on accessed wages. Workers pay only a flat service fee, not a percentage based on amount or time. This aligns with Islamic prohibitions against interest-based transactions.

No Gambling (Maysir)

GPOD's model involves no speculation or gambling elements. Returns are generated through providing a valuable service (accessing already-earned wages) with clear terms and predictable outcomes.

No Uncertainty (Gharar)

All terms of GPOD's service are clear, transparent, and free from excessive uncertainty. Workers know exactly what they'll pay, and investors understand precisely how returns are generated.

Shariah Certification

GPOD's investment model has been reviewed and certified by the Al-Azhar Shariah Board and leading Islamic finance scholars. Our certification confirms that:

Fixed fee regardless of amount accessed
No time-based charges or penalties
Service-based fee model, not interest

I started with the Starter tier as a way to diversify my investment portfolio with something more ethical. The results have exceeded my expectations. Not only have I received consistent monthly returns averaging 8.5%, but the dashboard lets me see the direct impact—workers avoiding payday loans, reducing financial stress, and improving their wellbeing.
