Islamic principles

Our principles are rooted in our deep belief in Islamic faith and the ideals of honesty, respect, integrity, transparency and fairness in all that we do. These enduring principles are a fundamental way of life at Ithmaar Bank and we live by them every day.

Higher ideals

We constantly strive to the ideal of being a better, more responsive Islamic financial organisation. Above all else, we aim to treat our customers, employees and communities the way we would like to be treated ourselves – and to make a real difference to the lives of those we work with, for and around.

Clear purpose

At Ithmaar Bank, we have a clear purpose – to always aim to be the most responsive, dependable and enduring Islamic financial partner for those who expect more from both their bank and their life; to encourage, support and empower our customers to achieve more, grow, progress, prosper and succeed.

Responsive action

We don't like having to wait for answers or solutions any more than our clients do, so we go about our business every day with an ongoing sense of urgency, always aiming to ensure that our actions and responses meet or exceed customers’ expectations.

Meaningful innovation

We believe innovation ultimately makes our clients’ lives easier, so we constantly seek out new ideas and solutions to implement, from leading edge technology to simple, small operational enhancements that improve our day-to-day service and make banking with us less complicated and more pleasurable.

Recognising High Performers

Through an ‘Employee of the Month’ program, senior management of the Bank recognizes and rewards high performing employees. A ceremony is held every quarter where cash awards are presented by the Bank’s senior officials. We make the achievements of high performing employees visible through Bank’s intranet page and press releases in local newspapers. This practice encourages others to put in their best, thereby creating a competitive environment within the Bank.
