Together, we’re building the world’s first end-to-end halal commerce ecosystem — from discovery to delivery to remittance. And we’re just getting started.

Let’s build the future of halal fintech — together.

The River team includes founders of category-defining companies and is backed by former leaders from Venmo, Brex, and Deel — who are not just advisors, but also investors.

Why Zabihah? Because trust matters. Because reach matters. Because building for the global Muslim market requires both.

Why River? River is scaling fast — processing tens of millions in annualized volume, growing 550% this year, and already working with governments, telecoms, and platforms to:

- Replace informal hawala systems
- Power Shariah-compliant remittances
- Enable digital wallets at global scale

Zabihah will become the brand & gateway to the halal economy — powered by River’s infrastructure.

As part of this merger, Arman Khwaja is joining River as Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer, and @shahed.com will lead Zabihah’s transition into a halal payments platform within River.

We can't wait to show you what we've been cooking, but like iftar, you'll have to wait until the time is right. Watch this space in the coming days!
