OpenFinance protocol analysis, halal compliance data export, watchlist sync, and authorized API delivery for Muslim-focused investing flows
Mezan:Investing classifies thousands of equities as Compliant, Questionable, or Not Compliant using interest-bearing debt ratio, cash ratio, and revenue screening. We deliver authorized integrations that surface this verdict data, financial breakdowns, and personal watchlist state through clean APIs your platform can consume in production.
Mezan:Investing is an educational halal-investing platform built around three things Muslims keep asking the market for: a clear yes/no on whether a stock fits Shariah principles, a transparent breakdown of why a stock got that verdict, and a way to keep tracking those decisions over time. The app stores per-user account state — saved tickers, learning module progress, and Mezan Pro subscription tier — alongside per-ticker compliance metadata that is regenerated as company financials change.
That combination matters because halal investing is now a real category, not a niche. Global Islamic finance assets reached roughly US$4.93 trillion and are projected to hit US$7.53 trillion by 2028, while the Islamic fintech segment alone hit ~US$198 billion in transaction volume and assets under management in 2024/25, on its way to ~US$341 billion by 2029 (≈11.5% CAGR). Around 484 Islamic fintech companies are tracked globally, with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Malaysia, the UK, and Indonesia leading. In a market that size, brokers, robo-advisors, accounting tools, and zakat calculators all need to plug into compliance signals — and that is exactly what Mezan:Investing produces.
Our service turns that signal stream into something a backend can reliably consume. We deliver authorized API implementations covering compliance verdict lookups, ratio breakdowns, watchlist read/write, learning module progress, and Mezan Pro entitlement checks, packaged as runnable source code or pay-per-call hosted endpoints.
Submit a ticker (e.g. AAPL, 2222.SR) and get back the verdict (Compliant / Questionable / Not Compliant), the screening methodology used, and a timestamp. Used by trading platforms to gate or label trades before order submission.
Returns the exact ratios that decided the verdict: interest-bearing debt ratio, cash & interest-bearing securities ratio, non-permissible revenue percentage, plus the threshold each was tested against. Use case: explainer panels in Islamic robo-advisory dashboards and audit logs for Shariah supervisory boards.
Read and write the user's personal watchlist of tickers. Use case: when a user adds a ticker in your broker app, mirror it into Mezan; when Mezan re-screens that ticker and the verdict flips, push a webhook back so your front-end can flag the position.
Expose how far a user is through the structured learning modules (foundations of halal investing, Islamic finance principles, reading stock charts, market analysis). Use case: gamified onboarding inside neo-banks, where completed modules unlock new product tiers.
A lightweight endpoint that confirms whether the linked Mezan account holds an active Pro subscription. Use case: B2B partners that want to grant premium content cross-app without rebuilding the billing layer.
Submit a list of up to several thousand tickers in one call, receive a paginated verdict report, and subscribe to webhooks when verdicts change between screening cycles. Use case: monthly Shariah portfolio reviews and ETF re-balancing.
The table below maps the data Mezan:Investing exposes inside the app to the integration surface we deliver. Each row is derived from the in-app screens and the documented behaviour of the platform; granularity is what we can realistically extract and re-emit through a stable contract.
| Data type | Source (in-app screen / feature) | Granularity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shariah compliance verdict | Halal Compliance Checker | Per ticker · Compliant / Questionable / Not Compliant · timestamped | Order pre-trade gating, portfolio labelling, audit log |
| Interest-bearing debt ratio | Detailed Financial Reports | Per ticker · numeric % · screening threshold | Explainer UI, Shariah board reports |
| Cash & interest-bearing securities ratio | Detailed Financial Reports | Per ticker · numeric % · threshold | Risk & compliance dashboards |
| Non-permissible revenue screening | Detailed Financial Reports | Per ticker · numeric % · category breakdown | ESG-style reporting, ethical-investing scorecards |

| Subscription entitlement | Mezan Pro | Per user · active / inactive · renewal_at | B2B premium-feature gating |
Business context: an Islamic-friendly broker wants every market order to be screened before it goes to the exchange, so non-compliant trades surface a warning or a hard block. Data involved: compliance verdict + interest-bearing debt ratio. OpenFinance mapping: a consent-scoped read of the verdict at order-construction time, mirroring how PSD2 SCA-style checks fire on payment initiation. The verdict is cached for the trading session and refreshed on a daily webhook.
Business context: a Shariah robo-advisor needs to re-screen its model portfolios monthly. Data involved: bulk verdict export + ratio breakdown for every ticker in the universe. OpenFinance mapping: scheduled batch pull through an authorized B2B contract, equivalent to an account-information service drawing transaction history on a recurring schedule. We deliver a paged export endpoint plus a webhook stream for verdict deltas.
Business context: a zakat or wealth-management tool wants to attach a "halal-eligible" flag to every holding it imports from a user's brokerage. Data involved: per-ticker verdict + non-permissible revenue percentage. OpenFinance mapping: similar to a categorization layer over open-banking transactions, but applied to securities holdings; the verdict tags the holding so the zakat engine can compute the right base.
Business context: a user keeps a watchlist in their broker app and a separate halal watchlist in Mezan; both should stay in sync. Data involved: watchlist read/write API + verdict change webhook. OpenFinance mapping: bidirectional account-information + payment-initiation pattern, where the broker is the system of record for "what I own" and Mezan is the system of record for "what I'm allowed to own."
Business context: a Shariah Supervisory Board (the AAOIFI-style three-scholar committee that every Islamic financial institution maintains) needs an evidence trail for every screened ticker. Data involved: verdict + ratios + timestamp + screening methodology (DJ / FTSE / S&P / MSCI / AAOIFI). OpenFinance mapping: read-only audit endpoint with consent-scoped tokens, log-shipped into the board's review tool; we provide WORM-style retention guidance.

Halal-investing data sits at the intersection of financial and religious-belief data, so the regulatory perimeter is wider than a generic markets API. We implement integrations against three layers:
All work proceeds under documented authorization or publicly-documented endpoints; we never bypass authentication, never extract data without consent, and never resell user-identifiable data downstream.
The pipeline is intentionally short — fewer hops mean fewer places for compliance regressions to hide:
The ingestion layer normalizes ticker formats (US, Tadawul, KOSPI, etc.) and pins the screening methodology per request. The store keeps a full history of verdicts so you can answer "was this stock compliant on 2026-01-15?" — useful for reconciliation and audit. The outbound layer is the only thing your stack ever sees.
Mezan:Investing's user base is Muslim retail investors who want to either start investing without breaking Shariah principles or audit an existing portfolio against them. The split skews toward beginners who use the structured learning modules first and graduate into the screening tools, plus a smaller segment of experienced investors who use it as a sanity-check layer over their existing broker. Primary regions track the global Islamic-finance gravity centres: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Malaysia, Indonesia, the UK, and growing North-American diaspora demand. The app is mobile-first on Android and iOS, and integration partners typically come from the broker, robo-advisor, accounting, and zakat-tooling ecosystems.

Halal investing is now a category with multiple credible players — many of our clients integrate with several of them in parallel. The list below is the broader ecosystem we see in the wild; each entry is part of the integration landscape, not a ranking.
Users who already work with Zoya, Musaffa, Wahed, Cur8, Islamicly, HalalScreener, Tabadulat, Muslim Xchange, Sarwa, Finispia, Amana Funds or IslamicStock often need a unified compliance-and-watchlist export across several of these — that is the kind of work we typically handle.
We are an independent technical studio focused on app interface integration, OpenData / OpenFinance / OpenBanking, and authorized API delivery. The team has shipped integrations for retail brokers, payment gateways, and Islamic-finance products across the GCC, Southeast Asia, and Europe. We understand AAOIFI and IFSB expectations, GDPR-grade privacy handling, and how to keep a halal-data feed auditable without leaking user identity.
Send us the target app and your concrete requirements (compliance lookup, watchlist sync, bulk screening, learning-progress export, etc.) and we will respond with a scope estimate, timeline, and price.

Mezan:Investing (package com.mezan.investing) is an educational halal-investing platform built for Muslims who want to navigate the stock market according to Shariah principles. It pairs an instant Halal Compliance Checker with detailed financial reports so users can not only see whether a stock is Compliant, Questionable, or Not Compliant but also understand why — through the interest-bearing debt ratio, cash ratio, revenue screening, and other Shariah compliance indicators.
The app is positioned as an educational platform first. Structured learning modules walk a user from foundations of halal investing, through Islamic finance principles, into reading stock charts, market analysis basics, and practical trading education. A powerful stock-search experience lets users instantly look up any ticker, see the compliance status and financial breakdown, and discover halal opportunities, while a personal watchlist keeps research organized over time.
