Is UP Fintech (TIGR) stock Halal?
Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, a Halal stock keeps non-permissible income below 5% of revenue and interest-bearing debt and investments each below 30% of market capitalisation. UP Fintech Holding Ltd. (TIGR) does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens as of September 2026, so it is not Shariah compliant.
UP Fintech is a financial services company providing brokerage and wealth management services primarily through its Tiger Trade platform. Targeted at a global audience, the company allows investors, particularly retail clients, to trade in securities and other financial instruments with ease and efficiency. The platform is designed to cater to both new and seasoned investors by offering user-friendly interfaces and advanced trading tools. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is UP Fintech a Halal investment?
Is UP Fintech Shariah compliant?
Finance is the sector where Shariah screening does the most work, because Riba is not incidental here, it can be the product itself. UP Fintech passes the business activity screen only if its revenue comes from permissible services rather than lending at interest, and the financial screens of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 still apply in full.
Does UP Fintech pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: UP Fintech currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item in this sector is the sharpest of all: revenue must come from permissible services, not from lending at interest.
Is UP Fintech's income Halal?
No. UP Fintech's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does UP Fintech meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
