بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

— Sunan Ibn Majah 2443

Islamic Economic Principles in Action

GPOD's investment model is built on authentic Islamic principles of fairness, transparency, and shared prosperity. By investing in our earned wage access platform, you support a financial system that empowers workers while generating ethical returns.

Our Shariah-compliant structure ensures that your investment avoids riba (interest), gharar (excessive uncertainty), and maysir (gambling) while delivering competitive returns through legitimate service fees.

Key Islamic Finance Principles

  • Prohibition of Riba: No interest charges, only transparent service fees
  • Asset-Backed Transactions: All returns derived from real economic activity
  • Risk Sharing: Fair profit distribution based on actual service provision
  • Ethical Purpose: Supporting financial wellbeing and preventing exploitation

How Our Islamic Investment Works

  1. Capital Investment

    Investors contribute capital to GPOD's ethical wages fund with a minimum investment of £1,000.

  2. Earned Wage Access

    Workers access their already-earned wages before payday via the GPOD app (not a loan).

  3. Service Fee Collection

    Workers pay a small, flat £2.50 service fee per early wage access—never interest or percentage-based fees.

  4. Profit Distribution

    Service fees are fairly distributed between investors and the platform, providing 8-12% annual returns on your investment.

Our Islamic Structure

GPOD employs a hybrid Wakalah-Mudarabah model that has been vetted by Islamic finance scholars:

Wakalah Component (Agency):

GPOD acts as your agent (wakeel) to deploy capital for earned wage access, charging a small fixed management fee of 1%.

Mudarabah Component (Partnership):

Profit generated from service fees is shared between investors (Rab al-mal) and GPOD (Mudarib) at an 80:20 ratio.

Shariah Governance:

All activities are monitored by an independent Shariah board that issues quarterly compliance reports and ensures all transactions remain halal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your investment with GPOD is Shariah-compliant because:

  • We use a Wakalah-Mudarabah structure approved by qualified scholars
  • Returns come from legitimate service fees (£2.50 flat fee), not interest
  • All transactions are backed by real economic activity (already-earned wages)
  • There is no excessive uncertainty (gharar) or gambling (maysir)
  • We conduct quarterly Shariah audits to ensure ongoing compliance

Our structure has been certified by Islamic finance scholars and adheres to recognized standards for Shariah compliance.

The minimum investment amount with GPOD is £1,000. This allows you to start in our Starter Tier, which offers an 8% target annual return with quarterly distributions. As your investment grows, you can move up to our Growth Tier (£10,000+) or Impact Tier (£50,000+), which offer higher returns and additional features.

Returns are generated through the £2.50 flat service fee charged each time a worker accesses their earned wages early. After deducting the 1% management fee (Wakalah), the remaining profit is shared between investors and GPOD at an 80:20 ratio (Mudarabah).

Profits are distributed according to your investment tier:

  • Starter Tier: Quarterly distributions
  • Growth Tier: Monthly or quarterly distributions (your choice)
  • Impact Tier: Customizable distribution schedule

All calculations and distributions are transparent and available through your investor dashboard.

Each investment tier has a minimum commitment period:

  • Starter Tier: 6 months minimum
  • Growth Tier: 3 months minimum
  • Impact Tier: Negotiable terms

After this period, you can request withdrawals with 30 days' notice. Partial withdrawals are possible as long as your remaining balance meets the minimum tier threshold. In exceptional circumstances, we may facilitate early withdrawals subject to availability and a small administrative fee.

While GPOD's investment model is designed to minimize risk, all investments carry some level of risk:

  • Transaction Volume Risk: Returns depend on the volume of early wage access transactions, which could fluctuate.
  • Market Risk: Economic downturns could affect employment levels and platform usage.
  • Regulatory Risk: Changes in financial regulations could impact operations.

We mitigate these risks through diversified employer partnerships, capital reserves, and continuous regulatory monitoring. All investments are protected by our capital protection measures that prioritize investor security.
