Didn't think a regular bank could do halal
Got SBA financing through Stearns for my restaurant. They structured it in a way that's compliant which I didn't think a regular bank could do. Pleasantly surprised.

Halal Bank Accounts in Colorado
A profit-sharing savings account for nonprofit organizations - mosques, Islamic schools, community organizations - from Stearns Salaam Banking, the Islamic banking division of Stearns Bank N.A. (Member FDIC). Nonprofits earn riba-free expected returns from the division's segregated Islamic financing portfolio at preferential tiers published on the 8/1/2026 rate sheet: 1.00% expected APY under $100,000, 2.02% from $100,000, and 3.20% at $500,000 and up - each tier above the equivalent personal and business rates. Stearns also donates up to $1,000 to nonprofits holding the account for 12 months, plus $250 per subsequent 12-month period.
Salaam Nonprofit Savings is where a masjid's reserve fund should sit if the board wants yield without riba. The nonprofit tiers are the best on the Salaam rate sheet - 1.00% expected APY under $100,000 rising to 3.20% at half a million - and Stearns sweetens it with direct donations: up to $1,000 after the first year and $250 per year thereafter. The compliance architecture is the same documented, segregated profit-sharing machinery as the rest of the division, signed off by a three-scholar Sharia Supervisory Board. Boards should understand that returns are expected rather than guaranteed, and that serious yield needs a six-figure balance. Paired with the fee-free Salaam Nonprofit Checking for operations, it gives Muslim institutions a complete, transparent, FDIC-insured banking setup.

Got SBA financing through Stearns for my restaurant. They structured it in a way that's compliant which I didn't think a regular bank could do. Pleasantly surprised.
The process was professional but took a while - about 4 months from application to funding. To be fair, SBA loans always take time regardless of the lender.
Used them for equipment financing for my dental practice. Straightforward and the team understood what I needed for halal compliance. Would use again.
