Amlak Finance PJSC, the largest publicly listed Islamic Home Finance Company offering Sharia’a solutions, announced at a signing ceremony that it has signed a contract with Nucleus Software and will utilize its flagship ‘FinnOne™’ retail products. Amlak will implement the FinnOne™ Customer Acquisition System (CAS) and FinnOne™ Collections Modules.
