KARACHI: BankIslami, a renowned Islamic financial institution in Pakistan, has launched a major initiative aimed at promoting its riba-free (interest-free) banking services to individuals from various backgrounds and faiths. This move underscores the bank’s dedication to ethical and inclusive banking practices.
According to Bank Islami Pakistan Limited, the initiative aims to foster transparency and trust by providing riba-free solutions, which are considered fair and just in many religions due to the prohibition of interest. This effort seeks to empower citizens to achieve financial stability while appealing to people of all faiths by offering inclusive and equitable financial alternatives.
The global Islamic finance industry, valued at over $3 trillion, is experiencing growth, indicating a rising demand for ethical and Shariah-compliant financial solutions. In line with this, Pakistan’s State Bank has laid out a plan to transition all commercial banks to the Islamic banking system in the coming years, further committing the country to a fully Shariah-compliant financial sector.
The launch event of this initiative was graced by notable personalities, including the Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, Jameel Ahmad, who emphasized the vision of creating a fair and modern financial system accessible to all citizens. He commended BankIslami’s vision of ‘Saving humanity from Riba’ as a step towards making banking inclusive for everyone.
The campaign also includes a Tele-Vision Commercial (TVC) that features individuals from various religious communities. Arjun Singh from the Sikh community expressed hope inspired by the initiative, while Lorna Fernandez highlighted the significance of seeing diverse stories represented, which fosters a sense of inclusion.
The campaign has received positive reactions on social media, with users applauding BankIslami’s dedication to ethical banking and inclusivity. Comments from users reflect appreciation for the bank’s efforts to align its services with diverse ethical values and make interest-free banking accessible to all, irrespective of religious beliefs.
