Zabihah

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.

After years of building Zabihah into the leading global platform for halal discovery, we’re taking the next step in our evolution — and it’s a major one.

Zabihah is merging with River, a rapidly growing fintech infrastructure company focused on compliant, cross-border payments.

Just a reminder that we're hiring - lots to do in the remainder of 2025 with new features and services, and we need your help! Join our passionate team and help power the Halal revolution!

The Zabihah team

Our excitement for the coming of Ramadan is amplified by the brand new apps and features we're cooking up. We are beginning a year of accelerated development that will revolutionize the halal food space which we've been bringing to you for 25 years.

I spoke about @zabihah.com and its legacy on the Living our Beliefs podcast:

“Food is the ultimate cultural medium. It’s the first way people learn about each other, and I’m happy that food from Muslim cultures around the world has permeated the American landscape..."
