Maybank Indonesia and Islamic lifestyle application Muslim Pro have launched Amanah Pro.

The Islamic Banking-as-a-Service (iBaaS) platform helps users prepare financially for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

The integration allows Muslim Pro users in Indonesia to access banking services without visiting a physical branch.

The feature is the first of its kind introduced within the Muslim Pro platform and is supported by Maybank Indonesia’s Shariah Business Unit.

Amanah Pro uses Banking-as-a-Service technology developed by Audax, enabling non-bank partners to offer banking services within their existing digital platforms.

This model allows the public to access Shariah-compliant financial services directly from community apps they already use daily.

“The launch of Amanah Pro is proof that digital innovation and Shariah principles can strengthen each other,”

said Steffano Ridwan, President Director at Maybank Indonesia.

He added that the initiative is part of the bank’s contribution to the country’s Islamic finance sector.

It operates within a framework facilitated by Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

For Muslim Pro, the move into digital banking represents an expansion of its utility beyond daily spiritual needs for its 190 million global users.

“This collaboration allows us to support our community in a tangible new way by removing financial barriers and providing seamless, Shariah-compliant solutions for those preparing for the life-changing journeys of Hajj and Umrah,”

said Nafees Khundker, Group Managing Director and CEO of Muslim Pro.

Maybank Indonesia plans to continue developing the capabilities of Amanah Pro to support further collaboration across digital platforms in the country.
