The account, which comes with the approval of the Sharia Supervisory Board, reflects the bank’s efforts to deliver innovative and high-quality products and ensure a premium customer experience. Bushra Prize Savings Account is based on the Sharia principle of ‘Mudaraba’ under which the bank invests customer savings in Sharia-compliant financing to generate the best possible returns and profits. The customer acts as the capital provider while the bank takes up the role of ‘Mudarib’ or entrepreneur. All customer funds along with the bank’s own capital are pooled and invested in Sharia-compliant investment options and the profit generated is shared between the bank and the customer on predetermined ratios. Cash prizes offered under the scheme are gifted from shareholders’ funds. The minimum amount required to be eligible for the draws is only RO 100, and customers also receive monthly generated profit on their deposited amounts. The account comes with various benefits and features such as a free debit card, online and mobile phone banking services and short text message alerts for any transaction. The Bushra Prize Savings account reflects the bank’s commitment in pioneering innovative shari’a compliant products and services that cater to customers’ needs. Today Alizz Islamic Bank delivers over 26 innovative products designed to meet the basic needs of individuals and enable them to fulfill their dreams.
