About Us
Ayan Capital is building the future of Islamic Finance.
We’re a London-based fintech on a mission to make halal financial products as accessible, competitive, and user-friendly as any conventional offering and better where it counts. Our platform blends the values of Islamic finance with the speed and innovation of modern technology.
Founded by the team behind Alif Bank and backed by institutional investors, we’re aiming high: to become the world’s first truly global Islamic challenger bank. Think everything from car finance to current accounts, all halal and tech-driven.
If you’re excited by global ambition, meaningful work, and steep learning curves, this might be the place for you.
If things go well, we’ll offer you a full-time role at the end of three months. This internship is designed to be a springboard into a long-term career with us.
