| description | The fourth industrial revolution has influenced many sector including Islamic Finance. The
digital revolution has changed the traditional crowdfunding through the usage of technology
with smart applications on mobile phones and websites. Among the advantage of
crowdfunding is its accessibility, fast transaction, security, transparency, traceability and
many more. Through crowdfunding platforms, financial inclusion groups could be reached.
Hence, the demand for Shari’ah crowdfunding increases to fulfil the Muslims developmental
needs in providing for projects that are compliant according to Shari’ah. Shari’ah
crowdfunding platform such as Shekra, Yomken, Ethiscrowd, Waqfworld, KapitalBoost and
many more attempts to realize the needs of Muslim society. These activities utilize the
financial technology (FinTech) approach via social media or smartphone apps. Although
FinTech is widely used nowadays, there is an issue of trust from the investors in gaining their
interest to invest in Shari’ah crowdfunding projects since it is virtual. Hence, this study
explores the possibility of funder’s motivation to invest in crowdfunding projects from the
perspective of trust. This conceptual study highlights the element of trust from three elements
which are calculus trust, relationship trust and religiosity (Islam). For future research, the
study on trust from a social capital perspective would add value in contributing to the
development of digital economy. |
