A Brief History of REDmoney

REDmoney is a publishing and events company focusing purely on the global Islamic finance market. The company was started in mid 2004 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by two ex-Euromoney managers, Andrew Morgan and Andrew Tebbutt and initially rolled out two products: Islamic Finance training and Islamic Finance news. Since then, a range of other products have been introduced including conferences, print media and consulting.

Since 2004 REDmoney has been the world’s leading specialized Islamic finance publishing, information and event company. The company aims to grow with this exciting industry and provide the products the industry requires to evolve and become the mainstream financing alternative it deserves to be recognized as.
