Islamic Banking and You: Getting to Know Islamic Banking

Islamic banking has a long-established presence, with a wide array of services in Malaysia. However, it is the unique principles and ethical foundation that truly set Islamic banking industry apart.  

Read on to discovering what makes Islamic banking special and how it can benefit you.

Islamic banking is for everyone

Anyone can enjoy Islamic banking products and services no matter their religion. It is not exclusive to Muslims only.

Global Presence

Just how well-known is the Islamic banking segment worldwide? The global Shariah-compliant finance market was valued at $2.2 Billion in 2021 and it is expected to have a valuation of approximately $3.02 billion by 2027 and a CAGR (compound growth annual rate) of 10.2% between 2022-2027**.

Islamic banking has grown rapidly since its inception and remains competitive in the banking sector. 

Ethical and Responsible

Due to the prohibition of riba and gharar, Islamic banking products are designed to be ethical and responsible.

Islamic banking also emphasises transparency in its financial transactions, where terms are often straightforward and easy to understand to reduce the risk of hidden fees or complex financial arrangements.

Be it a place to save or invest your money, or financing for your home, business or car, Islamic banking can help you achieve your financial aspirations and needs. To start, you can always reach out to experts at CIMB for guidance on building a portfolio to achieve your financial goals.
