Frequently Asked Questions

A Conventional Bank is a financial body that receives money from the depositors and pays interest, and offers liquidity to borrowers against interest. It operates on an interest-based system and is governed by conventional banking laws.
An Islamic Bank is a financial body that executes Shariah-compliant commercial contracts such as sale, leasing, and construction. It operates on a risk, profit-sharing, and trade-based system and is governed by Islamic banking laws under the supervision of the Internal Shariah Supervision Committee.

In Conventional Banking, Savings Accounts and Fixed Deposits (FDs) are types of accounts that pay a predetermined interest rate for a fixed period. Depositors in conventional banks receive interest on their investments at predetermined rates, regardless of the bank’s performance.
In Islamic Banking, depositors earn returns based on the bank’s actual performance. Unlike Conventional Banks, an Islamic Bank acts as an intermediary between the depositor and the party being financed. As such, Islamic banks declare their profits on a monthly basis under a profit/risk-sharing scheme known as the “Mudaraba or Wakala Scheme”.

Interest is a fixed return on a specific sum of money invested over a predetermined period of time (not permissible as per Shariah).
Profit is an undetermined return on a specific sum of money invested over a predetermined period of time. It may vary from month to month, directly depending on the bank’s actual performance (permissible as per Shariah).
