SEDANIA As Salam Capital Sdn Bhd ("SASC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEDANIA Innovator Berhad and a leading provider of consumer tech solutions for banking and financial institutions, is pleased to announce the receipt of two (2) internationally-acclaimed awards that further strengthen its position as an industry leader in the Islamic finance industry.

Khairul Nisa Ismail, Chief Executive Officer of SEDANIA As Salam Capital, has been recognised with the prestigious 2024 World Outstanding Women CEO Leadership Excellence Award during the 3rd World Women Economic & Business Summit, held on 26th September 2024 at the Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel. The summit, graced by Her Majesty The Queen of Malaysia, DYMM Raja Zarith Sofiah binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah, also featured a Royal Luncheon Special Address and was officiated by the Minister of Women, Family, and Community Development, YB Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri.

This award celebrates women leaders who have made significant contributions to their industries and communities, showcasing entrepreneurial excellence, dynamic leadership, and a commitment to societal impact. It honours women CEOs who have demonstrated a proven track record of driving corporate transformations and technology innovation, while inspiring positive change.

In tandem with this recognition, SEDANIA As Salam Capital’s proprietary patented platform, As Sidq Tawarruq, was awarded the Best Technology Platform in Islamic Banking and Finance 2024 by the Global Islamic Finance Awards (“GIFA”). The recognition was received during the recent 14th GIFA Awards Ceremony held in the Republic of Maldives.

As Sidq Tawarruq, a patented, Shariah-compliant digital commodity trading platform, enables financial institutions to seamlessly execute Tawarruq (commodity murabahah) transactions in real-time, in accordance with the Shariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia’s ruling. Its innovative straight-through processing (STP) capabilities enhance both efficiency and Shariah compliance, making it a leading choice for FSIs in their digital transformation.

In response to these accolades, Khairul Nisa Ismail, CEO of SEDANIA As Salam Capital, expressed her gratitude, stating, “We are humbled and honoured for SEDANIA As Salam Capital to be recognised on the global stage. These awards reflect our dedication to creating impactful and sustainable consumer tech solutions. I owe this recognition to the hard work and commitment of our team, whose efforts continue to inspire me as a leader. Together, we strive to deliver inclusive solutions that support the development of a truly Halal Islamic Finance Ecosystem, while enabling the financial aspirations of the broader community.”

Looking ahead, SASC remains fully committed to advancing Islamic fintech through innovation and collaboration. Khairul Nisa added, “As we continue to expand our digital offerings, including the recent launch of JOMHIBAH, a fully digital hibah platform, we look forward to educating and empowering communities on the importance of early planning in Islamic inheritance management, ensuring that our solutions remain accessible, fast, convenient and life changing.”
