What is Islamic Banking

Islamic Banking is a form of modern banking based on Islamic legal concepts (Shariah) developed in the first centuries of Islam, using risk-sharing as its main method, and excluding financing based on a fixed, pre-determined return.

Unlike the interest-based commercial banking system, where all the pressure is on the borrower, who must pay back the loan at the agreed interest, regardless of the success or failure of his venture. Islamic Banking believes in sharing profits and risks in the business instead of becoming creditors. In Islamic Banking the "depositor", the "bank" and the "borrower" all share the risks and rewards of financing business ventures.

Employee Quotes

Sarah Al Jallaf

(Priority Segment)

“For me personally it’s the independency, trust and flexibility that empowers me to thrive both personally and professionally.“

Karan Kumar

(Strategy)

“Emirates Islamic Bank is at the forefront of Islamic banking, constantly exploring new technologies and solutions to meet the evolving needs of its customers. Joining this institution means being part of a forward-thinking organization that embraces innovation and fosters trust with our customers.“

Zainab Ali

(Internal Audit)

"When I joined Internal Audit in 2007, we were only two Emaratis, today we have grown to 15 UAE Nationals in the team, and more will be joining us in 2024.
I was the first Internal Audit Emirati to Achieve the Chartered Accounting Certificate from ICAEW, the most reputed accounting institute in 2020.
This helped to set the standards high for the new joiners to pursue a professional certification and currently most of Group Internal Audit Bedaya Trainees have been eagerly doing their ACCA and CIA certification. A very bright future can be seen for all the committed UAE Nationals who show great passion towards what they do and learn. These achievements would not have been possible without the great vision of the Bank and the department's leadership's financial and moral support."
