1. Background and History of Insha: Europe's First Islamic Neobank Insha's story begins in 2018, when Albaraka Türk Participation Bank, a subsidiary of the Bahraini group Al Baraka Banking Group (ABG) — one of the most important Islamic banking groups in the world — decided to launch an ambitious project: offering European Muslims a digital banking service compliant with Islamic finance principles. The name "insha" (إن شاء الله, "God willing") reflects this spiritual and ethical ambition. The company's headquarters were established in Berlin, Germany, and the service was developed on the banking infrastructure of Solarisbank AG, a bank fully regulated by BaFin (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht), the German federal financial supervisory authority. In June 2018, at an exclusive event in Germany bringing together Adnan Ahmed Yousif, Chairman of the Board of Albaraka Türk and CEO of Al Baraka Banking Group, as well as Melikşah Utku, CEO of Albaraka Türk, Insha was officially unveiled to the public. Melikşah Utku emphasized that the insha project represented "the first step in the European market penetration strategy" for the group. The ambition was clear: to offer a 100% mobile banking service, with no physical branches, compliant with Sharia, and accessible to all European residents — Muslim or not — seeking an ethical bank. The first months of launch focused on Germany, a country home to more than 5 million Muslims, the largest Muslim community in Western Europe. The account opening process is entirely digitalized, paperless, directly from the mobile app. The account comes with a German IBAN (DE) and a Visa debit card. This Insha online bank immediately stood out for its unique positioning: no interest is paid or charged, funds are not invested in sectors contrary to Islamic ethics, and every operation is overseen by a Sharia compliance advisory committee. In October 2020, Insha announced a seed funding round of €2.5 million to finance its European expansion. The press release, published from Berlin, stated that these funds would be used to extend the service to France and other European markets, enrich the app's features, and recruit new talent. The funding came primarily from investors linked to the Al Baraka ecosystem and private investors committed to ethical finance. Business Insider reported at the time that Insha had raised approximately $3 million in total to develop its ethical banking platform. Alongside the banking service, Insha Ventures was created in Istanbul as Turkey's first "fintech venture builder," with the mission of developing innovative financial technology solutions within the participative finance ecosystem. Insha Ventures operates under the aegis of Albaraka Türk and incubates several projects, including the getinsha.com banking platform itself. Over the years, Insha extended its availability to France, allowing French residents to open a Sharia-compliant account with a foreign Insha IBAN (German IBAN DE). The service remains entirely mobile: no branches, no counters, no nearby Insha branch to visit. The entire customer relationship takes place through the app. This "mobile-only" philosophy is at the heart of Insha's
