What sets Islamic Banking apart from conventional banking is an adherence to the
principles of Shari'ah, which in simple terms means our Islamic Branch is not allowed to charge or pay interest on financing
or deposits, or transact in investments or businesses involving alcohol, gambling or other Islamically unacceptable activities.
| Conventional Banking |
Islamic Banking |
- Based on Interest

Islamic Banking is available to any persons or businesses regardless of their religious beliefs.
Our Islamic Banking division is under the guidance of our Shari'ah Advisor. All documents have been reviewed and certified as being in compliance with Shari'ah Laws and meet the requirements of Islamic Finance.
