Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ribano licensed as a bank or broker?
Ribano operates as a technology platform and is not licensed as a bank, broker, or investment advisor. It facilitates Sharia-compliant crowdfunding and digital Sukuk issuance. Please refer to our Legal Framework for jurisdiction-specific details.
Who holds my funds before closing?
Investor funds are held in segregated escrow accounts managed by an independent custodian until the offering closes or is cancelled. No funds are released to the issuer until all conditions are met.
Can I transfer my units?
Transferability depends on the specific offering structure, applicable law, and whether the units are listed on the RibanoM secondary market. Each offering document specifies applicable transfer restrictions.
Where are disputes resolved?
Each offering specifies its governing law and dispute forum. Disputes typically follow a pathway of direct dialogue, then mediation with SSB guidance, and finally arbitration or court proceedings as specified in the contract.
What happens if terms need to change?
Material changes require approval from the Sharia Supervisory Board and formal notification to all investors. All changes are versioned, logged, and hash-anchored on-chain for transparency and evidentiary purposes.
How are my personal details protected?
Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Sensitive documents are stored off-chain with cryptographic hash references on-chain, ensuring data integrity without exposing private information.
