Sharia-compliant financial solutions for TRI-ZEN customers
John Keells Properties (JKP) has partnered with HNB Islamic Banking to offer a Sharia-compliant financial solutions for customers looking to invest in their upcoming TRI-ZEN residential development in Colombo.
The collaboration will offer attractive rates which are competitive in the current mortgage market through the Islamic Banking Finance system, which utilizes an asset-backed equity-based alternate financing method.
The principle used is “Diminishing Musharakah”, a rental based investment where the customer and bank jointly invest in a tangible asset.

This is our first collaboration to offer Sharia-compliant financial solutions and we are excited to have a leading institution such as HNB Islamic Banking on board,” said Nadeem Shums, JKP Head of Sales & Marketing and John Keells Holdings Vice President.
