We’re proud to share that StrideUp has been recognised at the GlobalCapital European Securitisation Awards 2026, taking home two major awards.

  • 🏆 Specialist RMBS Issuer of the Year
  • 🏆 RMBS Deal of the Year

These awards celebrate the standout institutions and transactions across European structured finance.

Winning these awards is a meaningful milestone for us. It reflects the strength of our debut RMBS transaction, Meridian Funding 2025-1, and the progress we’re making in bringing shariah-compliant home finance into institutional capital markets. We’re incredibly grateful to our partners, advisers, and the wider market for their support and recognition, and most importantly to the team behind the scenes who made this possible.

“This recognition reflects what we set out to achieve: to demonstrate that shariah-compliant home finance can operate at scale within institutional markets. Meridian Funding 2025-1 was more than just a debut transaction; it was about creating long-term, sustainable funding to support greater financial inclusion. These awards are a testament to the belief, collaboration and hard work of our team and partners, and we’re incredibly proud of what’s been accomplished.” – Sakeeb Zaman, CEO of StrideUp

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on building a more inclusive and accessible home finance market. We’re excited for what’s ahead.
