Issue now in process of being resolved

I want a refund. I am disappointed by this company and the lack of contact. I came across this company in order to create an Islamic Will. I live in Scotland and while creating the Will at no point did it mention that the Will is not legally binding in Scotland. It only says this after looking around the website that it’s legally binding in England and Wales. I paid for the trust Will a few days ago. I have had issues with my email so I am unable to email the team.

I have reached out to the team on cur8 who said they will get someone from the Will team to call me yesterday for the refund and no one has called me back. I have asked for this to be escalated today and no one has stil called me back. All I want is a refund. I am unable to update my email address on the profile and I have my number verified on the profile but the company does not provide a contact number for me to call. If I email from my working email address which I want to update most likely I won’t get a response as it’s not the registered email address. Please give me my refund back.

Update: one of the team members at IFG has reached out to me now and have processed the refund which I will await to receive in my bank. I think it should be made clearer though at the onset areas of the UK where the will might not be legally valid. I am satisfied with the quick response but it should not have had to be a trust pilot review to prompt this response.

Great book, helpful service!

Brother Ibrahim was really helpful in guiding us on where and how to best place our savings without compromising our Islamic values. We were unsure about where we should be at this point in our lives in terms of our financial health. His & his team’s book on Halal Investing for Beginners was also very useful!!

Worst Service and experience. Poor customer service.

I didn’t want to write on a negative comment as they offer an Islamic will. After they emailed me a will I have emailed several times asking to amend something on my will. They never replied to my 5 emails, although I have paid the yearly will changing service fee. Terrible customer service. Would never recommend to anyone. Very sad to see this happening from a company that states they have Islamic wills.
Update: I have been contacted by IFG. It seems that they had trouble accessing emails. They have sorted my problem very quickly and effeciently

Salam Sherif

Really sorry to hear you've had this experience.

Can you please email me directly Ibrahim@islamicfinanceguru.com and I'll make sure this issue gets resolved.

Unfortunately our wills email address has been playing up in recent months so it may be your email hasn't been getting through.

(It may also be that we've badly messed up, in which case I'll get to the bottom of it and we'll sort you out.)

Apologies once again.

Update, Sat 27 July 23:35: We've now checked with the team and they cannot see any further emails from you since we sent out the completed will to you on 3/06/24.

Kindly send me the request on my email above and I can get this resolved for you.

Low-quality startups

The startups they invest in are very low quality and most go bust leading to investors losing their money. IFG still makes their 8% fees though so there's nothing to lose for them.

We are sorry you feel this way and we know it's frustrating when a startup doesn't work out the way we expect it to.

Venture capital is a high risk high reward endeavour and we highly encourage our investors to participate in venture investing through our fund - not just through picking individual startups. Because unfortunately most startups do fail so it is better to have a portfolio of at least 20 startups. The point of venture investing is to pick the big winners and benefit from those. We have a detailed free course that goes into the ins and outs of startup investing here: https://ultimatestartupcourse.com/.

How we align ourselves with investors is through making sure the majority of our return comes through a profit share at the end - so any failure means we lose the bulk of our return too. We also care deeply about our track record so do not want to invest in companies that would blemish that.

In terms of our startup quality, we regularly co-invest with leading angel investors and venture capital funds from across the world - more details of these partners are shared on our Cur8 Capital website.

I am grateful to IFG who are very transparent with investments. The opportunities presented are incredible. The only downside are the fees and getting in touch with them. Several times I've tried the calendly call and nobody ever joins. Update: I received a timely response from IFG to this review. I appreciate their customer service and high standards for themselves and their customers.

Really appreciate the feedback - we're trying to figure out which calendly link you're referring to. We may well have messed up. If you'd be so kind as to revert back with your email privately we can look into it. Thanks again for the constructive feedback.
