The Challenge

Like many mosques, the Manchester Islamic Centre relied heavily on cash collections and a legacy digital system that charged £100/month plus a high commission on every donation. Worshippers often carried no cash, and the complex online donation process was causing massive friction during Friday prayers.

Losing young donors who don't carry cash
High platform fees draining community funds
Manual reconcilliation taking hours of volunteer time
Static TV displays that were hard to update

The Salah Mate Solution

The centre implemented the full Salah Mate ecosystem: two tablet-based donation kiosks at the main entrances and a Smart TV prayer display in the central musallah. The transition took less than 48 hours.

Cashless Kiosks

Strategically placed near exits for one-tap Sadaqah as worshippers leave the mosque.

Dynamic TV Display

Showing live fundraising goals and transparent progress bars, encouraging collective giving.

"The most powerful change wasn't just the technology—it was the mindset. When the congregation saw exactly how much we were raising on the TV screen and knew that Salah Mate wasn't taking a single penny in commission, they gave more generously than ever before."
