Why Qardus chose LenderKit

Qardus needed to migrate from an existing platform while making a strategic shift in business model toward a fund-based structure, focused on a single offering for an already established base of high-net-worth investors. 

This change required a more flexible and scalable infrastructure that could support investor migration, accommodate existing active users, and align with evolving regulatory expectations.

  • Seamless migration from Sharein, including existing client base
  • Support for a single fund structure tailored to high-net-worth investors
  • KYC integration (Shufti Pro) and custom tax reporting development
  • Ability to match platform UI to Qardus branding, using provided design tokens
