How does a Grow-Your-Savings account drive social impact?

Traditionally, your savings would usually be sitting in a bank account. The bank would then lend out your money on loans and mortgages, placing people into potentially life-long debt. In return, the bank may pay you a small fixed amount of interest for using your money.

 

We’re here to create social good, in a way that’s ethical and fair to all. Our Grow-Your-Savings accounts help power Pfida’s Home Provision Scheme, creating a new way for people to own a home interest-free and without debt. Your money goes directly into homes, and you get a direct share of all profits generated from them.

How am I protected?

Ring-fenced portfolio

We use a ring-fenced entity, called Pfida Finance PLC, which owns each property directly. When you invest, you’ll be investing in this entity. This entity will only be used for purchasing properties in the UK.

Find out more

Fully asset-backed

Each property is directly owned and / or secured with a legal charge by you and our other shareholders to minimise risk. The shares you receive give you a portion of any profits made, and make you a part of our success.

Funds are deployed after completion, never before

To get to completion, home finance customers go through very thorough checks looking at a number of aspects, such as affordability, payment history and credit checks. We also perform thorough checks on the property too, through valuations and surveys.

These funds are not used to run Pfida as a business

Your invested funds are not used to run Pfida’s business or operational costs, we use it solely on the properties we purchase as homes. We do hold 5% in cash reserves to help cover the costs of developing and administering the portfolio, we always quote returns net of these amounts.

Shariah-compliant

Our mudaraba investment structure has been reviewed and approved by Sheikh Haitham Al-Haddad (Islamic Council of Europe) in his capacity as independent Shariah scholar. It has also been internally scrutinised and approved by Sheikh Salman Hasan, our in-house scholar.

FAQs

We’d recommend our GYS Home account instead of this account type to ensure you get the most benefit from our services. The GYS Home account has been made specifically to help aspiring homeowners reach their goal sooner, with a higher position on the waiting list for our home finance solution.

Find out how a GYS Home account will benefit your home-buying journey

Understanding our waiting times

Yes, as long as you have a minimum of £50,000 in your GYS Home account, you will be able to open a Grow-Your-Savings account. This is subject to you keeping a minimum of £50,000 in your GYS Home account at all times. Any additional funds over this amount can be used to invest in Grow-Your-Savings, as long as you meet the criteria.

If you have a Grow-Your-Savings account and would like to apply for a GYS Home account to join the priority waiting list, you will need to close your Grow-Your-Savings account. Alternatively, you will need to invest a minimum of £50,000 into your GYS Home account to be able to keep your Grow-Your-Savings account active.

If you are a GYS Home account holder but aren’t looking to buy a home with us, you can close your GYS Home account and move your funds to a Grow-Your-Savings account, as long as you meet the criteria.

Our GYS, GYS+ and GYS Pro accounts work together, so when your balance reaches £5,000, your GYS account will automatically upgrade to a GYS+ account. Similarly, when your balance reaches £30,000, your GYS+ account will automatically upgrade to GYS Pro.
